Hello <a>Montalvão!</a>

Most of my corrections were just enhancing the word choice of your sentences. The rest were just punctuation and keeping the verb tenses consistent. Other than that, keep up the good work :)

Learning English by myself

Since I was a child, I've always been interested in learning English. I remember when I heard it for the first time when I went to the cinema to watch a movie. That was amazing. I couldn't understand anything but I really liked how it sounded. In the schools that I went to, the teachers didn't have a good level of English, so it was not possible to learn it well. Even in private academies, It's not so easy to find high qualified teachers in that language. It doesn't mean that is not possible to find a good professorbut the issue is that it is so expensive and not everyone can afford it.

I think that the governments in countries in which English isn't the official language have the responsibility to teach it to their citizens. It is unfair that just only rich people can afford to provide that opportunity for their children. Nowadays, English is the an international language. Everyone knows that speaking English very well can open lots of doors. but Fortunately things have changed. The internet is a fascinating tool that almost anyone can have access too. It has a lot of pros and cons but I feel so happy to be in this era and have the opportunity to learn a lot of things through this kind of ways method. In my case, I have been learning English and learning to play the guitar and it's been so awesome.

You never finish to learn learning something, even when you already have learnt it. You will realize that it isn't over because it's not possible to know everything. Therefore, we have to keep on learning every single day.

Hello Lenin,

I enjoyed reading your post and I agree with everything that you said about the importance of learning English in today's world. I am so glad that you're determined to use the internet to learn new things! As for feedback, I would suggest practicing on sentence structure and the use of punctuation (comma, period, etc). I'm noticing that a lot of your sentences just go on using a comma when they should be punctuated with a period. Otherwise, keep up the good work! :)

Something about David Bowie.

I know that he died a few days ago, but I have to write something about him. David Bowie was one of my favorite musicians of all the time. He was more than a musician, he was an artist. I know that there are some people who think that David Bowie was only a singer but they are all wrong. David Bowie was a genius who was ahead of his time. You really see that when you listen to albums like Low, Scary Monster, Hunky Dore, and a long etcetera. Another thing that characterized David Bowie was that he created a character for almost each album and the special thing about that is that he stayed in character. I mean, he ceased to be David Bowie and he became someone else. I would write more about David Bowie but I must go.

I will appreciate any suggestions and corrections.

Greetings
