A good day

A good day
Even though I woke up late this morning because yesterday I was very tired and my back was hurting, I had a good day. I studied some subjects to for my tests, bought food and studied Portuguese on Duolingo.

I had not written a notebook in English because I wrote two some [others] days ago, but no one had helped me :(
But I have realized that even thought if no one corrects me, writing here helps me a lot .

The job interview

Hello.

This is going to be my first entry here. I´d appreciate your help.

A couple of years ago I applied for a job in a big company, and, surprisingly, they called me back because they wanted to see give me at a job interview (or they wanted to interview me for the position).

My first mistake was getting there (or arriving) 20 minutes late.

I introduced myself and say told them my strengths and weaknesses, something commonly asked in that situation. Then, when after all each of the candidates spoke, the interviewer told us there was an English portion to the interview, that we would have to present to respond in English, which they would use to evaluate our writing and speaking skills(1). The spoken part consisted of answering a question, just a simple question, to me it Mine was, "What would say your friends about you?" Of course, considering my low skills in the language, I saíd something as short as and stupid like "they would say that I´m shiny person."

Later, when I was more comfortable, I think thought about my response and realized the reason why the interviewer -a woman- looked at me so funny. What I wanted to say was "Shy", as in a shy person.

(1)The part that introduces where the candidates have to speak an write in English was a little confusing to me. I hope I captured what happened. The issue I had was that "present" as a verb needs an object, something that is being presented to someone else or the world at large. You could say "do a presentation in English," and that would work. You don't need the word "test" since the subordinate clause already states this and thus is redundant.

Everything else just needed small corrections, mostly staying in the correct tense - you did well!\.

Feel free to smile :)

I have a joke for you.  One day a goose crossed the street and went into to a library bookstore. "Excuse me, I want to buy a book," it said. The assistant (or clerk/employee) gave it to him and the goose went away.  A little while later it came back and go went into the library bookstore. "Excuse me, I want to buy another book." So then the assistant gave to him again another. Curious, she the assistant followed the goose until to the river and she seen saw the goose give the book to a frog the book. Then she asked it, "What do you want to make do with this book?"  READ IT, READ IT

Nice joke!

In English we use library to refer to a place where you can borrow books for free. A bookstore (or book store, either spelling is correct) is a place that sells books. It's a false cognate.

To identify the assistant selling the books to the goose as female, you need to set this up in the sentence so it is clear to the reader that the feminine pronoun refers back to the neuter term of assistant, which is used for both male and female assistants. A good example of this is the corrected sentence that starts with "Curious." 

Friend (:

Friends play an important role in a person’s life. They encourage (or "give encouragement") when one is sad, they entertain when one is lonesome (or "feels lonely"), and they listen when one has problems. There are varieties of friends: co-workers, social workers, schoolmates, and many more. Each type of friends is helpful in one their own way or the other. Co-workers could help solve problems and with stress gained in the workplace. Friends from the community widen one’s prospective by introducing new people from different areas. Friends that one grew up with would share the happiness and sadness one might have. However, these friends that one grew up with might not always be the best kind of friends because they could faking it or have been concealing some secrets. So, it is very important for one to recognize all of the friends s/he has, because good friends are hard to find.Good friends should not be measured only based on the time spent together. With good friends, one is able to have a more meaningful life.

It is very difficult to have a definition of a good friend for everyone to agree upon. Since everyone has different personalities, the friends one person looks for could be very different from those sought by another. Nonetheless, there are some common characteristics shared among most of the definitions. The three main qualities that define a good friend are that they are loyal, understanding, and encouraging.

Best wishes

I would like to wish for everyone to have more time.
Time is the most important thing, but is always missing lacking. In this next year I wish for you to live spend your time as you want it: maybe take time to smile, to think, to give share it to with others. I wish you time to find yourself, 
to live your every each day, every time hour you as [if it were] a gift.
Summary of poetry Elli Michler's poem, "I wish you time"

Poetry is difficult to translate. I tried to keep as much of your translation as possible with my corrections. I did add some words in brackets on the last line because in more poetic language these words can be omitted and understood, but it is good to know what words are being left out  Nice job.

It's a little awkward, though grammatically correct. To make it more idiomatic, I would start the sentence with the subordinate clause: "Unless I get back home tonight, my mother will be upset."

I would rewrite the sentence as both constructions are awkward and then you would not have to choose between these two options. I would change "almost none" to "few" to keep the sentence in the positive. Few American Investors have captured the public imagination as did Benjamin Franklin with his spectacles and lightning rod. To answer the question about none vs. no, the correct choice would be none: Almost none of the American soldiers who served in Iraq returned home unscathed by their experiences in that conflict.
