I like to talk with Cameron so much and he learns really fast! He is good at finding out the rules in words and sentences which is a clever way to master a new language. I am looking forward to the next class with him!

    São Paulo

    I lived in São Paulo for about 9 years in São Paulo. Today, while I was walking for its streets again, it was clear to me that I don't miss the city... I don't miss the traffic or the noise. I don't miss that the huge amount of people at everywhere.

    But I do miss my friends and my colleagues. I do (not technically wrong, just sounds more natural :) miss the jokes, the discussions about nothing, the fights and the laughs.

    I used to call São Paulo as a gray city because, most of the time, the blue skies were hidden behind gray clouds of rain.

    But I don't want to be unfair or to sound ungrateful. I did feel São Paulo was my home. At least, one of them. A little piece of me is there and I carry on my heart a little piece of that place.

    Practicing writing. I'm waiting for your comments and corrections, thanks in advance :)

    I woke up at 7.00 o'clock, it was so windy: a strong storm came from the eastern part of the city where I live. It caused a lot of damages,/problems such as cutting the internet network and blowing down the trees.

    After a while some citizens/people (sounds more natural, but citizens isn't technically wrong :) phoned the concerned authorities to fix the damages, so they established a commission that includes experts to solve this problem.

    Shortly after, the commission ordered the citizens to leave their houses and to go to the neighboring island because they expected that there is was another violent storm coming.

    The citizens were aware of that, so they moved quickly. But before they moved; one of them told the commission that he has (been working on) a project that may reduce the consequences of such accidents.

    I did this project when I was in my third year at college and had a presentation in the lecture hall about that matter. (is the man saying this? I can't tell)

    Unfortunately, while he was speaking: unknown man fired four shots at the man, killing him him that made him pass away.

    It means that the stations use points to show how many people are listening to the station at a time. It gives them a way to represent and analyze their popularity.

    Essentially, に (ni) is used when going to or through a place,　で (de) is used when the action is within the bounds of the place (it can also be used to show the means by which you do something: example below). I'll give a few examples that will hopefully make it clear. The particles are in bold in the English translations, and all hiragana is on the right. 駅に行きます。I go TO the train station. （えきにいきます） 駅で昼ご飯を食べます。I eat lunch AT the train station.　（えきでひるごはんをたべます） 公園で遊びました。I played at the park.　（こうえんであそびました） 公園に歩きました。I walked through the park.　（こうえんにあるきました） One that is always a bit confusing is 「電車に乗りました」（でんしゃにのりました）which means "I rode the train." It doesn't seem like how you usually use に (ni), but if you just think that you are getting on the train (to ride it), it makes more sense. Otherwise, using に (ni) is pretty straightforward. I mentioned that you can use で (de) to indicate a tool or means by which you do something, so to contrast with the previous example, you can say 「電車で行きました」（でんしゃでいきました）which means "I went via/by way of the train", or in a less exact translation, "I went by train." Another example: えんぴつで書きました。I wrote with a pencil / I used a pencil to write. （えんぴつでかきました） Another particle is を (o), which can be used to indicate a direct object, as well as a place you are leaving. パンをよく食べます。I often eat bread.　（パンをよくたべます） 電車を降りました。I exited the train / I got off of the train. (でんしゃをおりました） Sometimes に (ni) and を (o) can be used with the same verb, then it helps to know the difference. 部屋に出ました。lit. I appeared in the room / I entered the room. （へやにでました） 部屋を出ました。I exited the room. （へやをでました） I hope that helps! Let me know if I can clarify anything!

    They're essentially the same. Ponder means to explore it in your mind. You would normally say you were contemplating something if you were thinking about doing something or thinking very deeply about something. (Ex: "I was contemplating life" or "I was contemplating going to Japan, but I decided against it.") To meditate on something means that you take time aside to really think deeply on it. So it has the same meaning but you would only use if it were something very serious that you needed to meditate on/think about. It often refers to something that happened, and you need to take time to reflect on what happened.

    僕のは「力」です。It's one of the first Kanji I learned, and it's the first katakana character in my name, plus I like the meaning. :)

    "I suppose" is roughly equivalent to "I guess." In most cases, all three can be used interchangeably. As responses, they all end up being: "I suppose so" ; "I think so" ; "I guess so." They all mean that you agree that the speaker's statement is probably accurate. In the same way, they can all be used to describe something you are not entirely sure about, but want to express to others as a guess or logical argument. "I suppose" implies some sort of logical thinking and conclusion, perhaps drawing from previous knowledge. It can also be a reluctant agreement to the other speaker's statement. "I guess" implies that you are just making a guess based on some knowledge, though you may not be entirely sure. It can also be a reluctant agreement to the other speaker's statement. "I think" can be similar to "I guess", or it can mean something more like "I believe". It can be a personal belief or something that you thought was true before this conversation and are now stating it. The other two imply that you are thinking about it while you speak or listen, "I think" would generally mean that you had thought about it before, unless it is clear from context that you are guessing.
