    Desigualdade Só posso comentar sobre as características físicas que eu estou vendo. A óbvia diferença entre os dois é a desigualidade por causa de dinheiro. Para comparar em mais fundo eu tenho que fazer assumptos e nesse respeito, eu ia achar que os dois meninos nesse momento têm felicidade igual. Talvez o menino na favela queria ter o drone mais legal do que a pipa que ele tem. Talvez o menino na casa boa queria a liberdade de brincar fora das paredes. Em respeito de emoção que eu sinto quando eu vejo esse tipo de imagem, eu fico triste porque o menino na esquerda não vai ter a mesma oportunidade em vida que o menino da direta vai ter e isso não é a culpa de ninguém.

    who I am. (Not technically incorrect, but we would say "Who am I" or "About me")

    Hi, my name is Carlos, I have am 40 years old., I am a Brazilian guy born in São Paulo. I am married and have two little kids, the eldest is 3 years old and the youngest is 1 year old.(1) I enjoy meeting experiencing different new(2) cultures and meeting new people and I´m now with working on a project to communicate in their native language.(3) I like to listen to music I like listening to music (4), I am now through in a phase of "piano guys" and "2Cellos",. I also like to read, I love John Grisham novels, although lately I have been focusing focused on technical reading. What I most like to do most do in my free time is to play with my kids, whether taking them to swimming, or cycling or at to the playground. (You play with your kids AT the playground, but take them TO the playground)
    Often as I can I like to go to the beach as often as I can although my actual current (5) city (Campinas) is about 3 hours from the sea ...
    I also like to play sports, especially playing tennis and walking.
    Movies are another passion, but I'd rather watch at home rather than go to the movies.

    1 No need to repeat in the same sentence

    2 'New' is not incorrect but 'different' emphasises the point better

    3 This sentence is correct but a bit messy. You could try something like "I am studying in order to communicate in their native language"

    4 You were correct, but it reads better using the active tense 

    5 This is a mistake English speakers make in Portuguese as well. Atual=current 


    Well done, it was still easy to read and you are able to get your point across very well. The mistakes you made were only small and you will begin to recognise them the more you read and listen to the language.

    Acho que não posso jogar futebol mais Ontem à noite, quando estava jogando futebol eu sofri um lesão de tendão jarrete. Já sofri um lesão de joelho 7 anos atrás também. Acho que meu joelho está bom e sem problemas, mas ainda estou preocupado com ele. Essa temporada de futebol é minha primeira desde 8 anos quando eu moveu para començar estudando na universidade. Que pena fui ferido no primeiro jogo, estava gostando muito de treinamento. Tenho 35 anos e sou o mais velho no meu time, os outros jogadores têm 18-27 anos, mas eu ainda tenho capacidade jogar à nível deles. Eu vou pensar sobre as coisas por umas semanas e ver como a lesão vai recuparar. Talvez é o tempo pendurar minhas chuteiras.

    I recommend this little series of books (in case link doesn't work search for Jack in Rio portuguese conversation practice)
    http://www.amazon.com.au/Portuguese-Conversation-Practice-Livro-Edition-ebook/dp/B0095JRYBK
    They also have Audible audio versions so you can hear the text word for word.

    http://www.audible.com.au/pd/Languages/Portuguese-Conversation-Practice-Audiobook/B00SLX3TQK

    There are 3 in the series which are aimed at early intermediate level with useful vocabulary.

    Another good bilingual book is contemporary Brazilian short stories 

    http://www.amazon.com/Contemporary-Brazilian-Short-Stories-Portuguese-ebook/dp/B00AU53V24/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1454125730&sr=1-1

    These are harder but have the English version also.

    These books are all pretty cheap with Kindle versions!

    Boa sorte

    Alguem usa este site para conversar? Tudo bem, galera? Eu preciso falar mais para tornar fluente em Português. Meu vocabulário está bom e posso escrever mais o menos, mas tenho que melhorar ao conversando. Gostaria de encontrar várias pessoas para conversar, mas é difícil pra mim para marcar a hora no Skype. Eu geralmente só tenho umas poucas horas livres cada semana. Então, se você quiser diga conmigo, vai ser bom para receber uma mensagem de você e falar algum dia do Skype. Meus interesses incluem mergulho, futebol, música alternatíva, natureza, ciclismo de montanha, pesca, camping. Tchau

    Next weekend my friends from Rio de Janeiro will play in Sao Paulo. They have a band called Cervical. They play heavy metal and hardcore songs. It's very good!
    The concert will happen be at Inferno Club, in the city centre from of Sao Paulo.
    My girlfriend and I, my brother and his girlfriend are going to the concert. It will be very nice!

     

    Nearly perfect, welll done. Just some small bits that needed changing to sound more natural.

    How it is my English?

    Today I had a spectacular day. My mother and fathers (unless you have 2 fathers) were in the bedroom with me when my uncle came to visit us. He loves my family and likes to play the piano with me when he haves has a little time. Besides he also likes to fishing with my father whenever possible to pass the time. I explained to him that in a few months I would be going to USA and he showed me this website "italki" saying he loved to practice their conversation in english because him his dream was is to one day travel to Canada. I woud like to have a job to join earn a lot of money for my mission but I'm currently unemployed. Even so my dad helps me and supports me so I'm very excited. Well, my family it is a little apprehensive to let me go alone, but they trust me and I know that I'm able to and I will strive to be the best, I never give up my dreams.I am grateful every day for the great opportunity he is giving me to serve him, regardless of my weaknesses , knowing that God trusts me is rewarding.
