belembaotyan or berimbau - interesting history about this instrument.

I had a write chat chatted with a Guamian online internet at school in spanish and we talked about his island. He and showed me some videos and in these videos there was an instrument called "belembaotuyan" that Chamorros, native people, play and it's alike a Brazilian instrument called "berimbau" . It used when people dance capoeira.
The Guamian told me that belembaotuyan was brought by Spanish people (or Spaniards) from Latin America when Guam and Marianas Islands were Spanish Colonies. it's of African origin.
I told him that the berimbau is from Angola and the portugueses brought it to Brazil together with slaves.

I'll travel abroad (a day...)

I wish to I could go to many countries. Until now, I've just traveled through in Brazil, my country. I've also visited one argentine city called Puerto Iguazu. But I believe I will still get to it. The problem is that the airplane tickets are too expensive. But money isn't the problem, money is the solution. LoL!! I'll work a lot, I'll keep money and I'm sure all my (the) effort will be worth it.
My wife and I like to lot of travel a lot. So, we'll still go to abroad to experiment experience different cultures and enjoy very beautiful and exciting places.

Good job! Just a few suggestions :)

We're in the Autumn/Fall

During this season, the flowers and trees become bare shy. The leaves are thrown away/fall from the trees. That is a sign we're in the Autumn.
The wind takes care of the leaves and uses them to change the ground color. The kids go to the square to take a bicycle ride by bicycle through the leaves on the ground. The leaves move ing so high because the bycicles wheels' push them away wind and it is funny. It reminds me of remembers my childhood.
I enjoy looking at the couples partners sitting ed on the benches at the square. I appreciate going to the pizza place with my wife to have one of their delicious cheese pizzas. When I get home I have an amazing cup of hot chocolatte mug. There are no words to say how good it is. Chocolate is the best company during these days. Although my country is a tropical country, I like the Autumn and Winter as well. I've never seen the snow and I don't know if I'll see it one day. One of the most beautiful things I appreciate during the cold season is the fashion clothes. Women take advantage of the season and they use do pretty make up. I love to look at them using their jackets, skull caps, long boots, scarfs. All of them prefer to use their hair long, even women that use tied hair change their mind during the cold seasons. Men use jackets too, nice shoes, jeans, and caps. The People love to use perfume as well. Almost every person you stay close on streets has have a nice good perfume. It is a lovely season. I think the only creature that doesn't like the cold season are the cats! Near my home there a lot of stray cats. They don't like this season, we can hear they screaming all night long, poor stray cats.
Dogs have more resistance to the cold or at least we don't hear them screaming like cats.

Good job!

1. Fall is used more commonly in American English.

2. People/animals can be shy, but plants are not usually referred to as shy. Maybe you meant bare (no leaves), dormant, or sad-looking?

Skill and patience

Today's video showed the a conversation between Elizabeth and Stuart. She was at her fencing class when Stuart came in. So, she stopped her class and asked him about what did he wanted to talk to her about.

He started by telling her that he had been working there for over an year and he had not been involved at all at in any important job [1].

Elizabeth replied telling that a good businessman is like a good fencer, both require skill and patience.

Stuart asked why he was not allowed to attend meetings and why were was she cutting him out. So Elizabeth said told him to just grab his sword.

I want to see the next video, I guess she will answer his question by using a word picture [2]...

[1] : job could be used, but I would have used project, assignment, or tasks (since he has a job, but he seems dissatisfied with his the tasks he is involved in).

[2]: what do you mean by a word picture? 

About Clarice!

In 1945, Brazil starts to live one stable political moment. It was a period of growth growing. So, the writers from this era epoch don't care anymore about the social problems, like we saw in texts from the 1930s, when they wrote about the misery of our social reality. But, in turn, the poetry of '45 is... different and amazing. They come with so much tranquility, and, in general ly, with a subject question about the existentialism. At least here in Brazil, we call this moment the of "Third Modernist Generation" (but I know that the reality of Brazilian modernism has some particular characteristics that diverge from European or North American contexts in many ways, especially with regard to the historical moment of the postwar period).
My favorite writer came from this time moment. Clarice Lispector. In her their texts, she shows has much introspection and it seems like the your characters are always looking for their your own identity. It's an epiphany.
And now, I'm reading "Amor" (for the 4th time). Looks It is like therapy. I don't know that what I LOVE in this short story... I think it is about how she makes me see and feel the interior internal emotional (or mental?) process of the character. It's very intimate intimist.
One day, In the "Breath of Life", she said: "I write as if to save somebody's life. Probably my own". But no, Clarice. I think it's mine.

Beautiful! Really great text. Makes me want to read some of her work, too! 

1. Epoch is correct, but rarely used. Instead: time, era, or period are more common. 

2. You may also say: the European or North American context 

3. When you talk about the characters, did you want to say that you see yourself in them (since you mention epiphany afterwards)? If so, maybe something like "it seems like her characters are reflection on my own identity".

4. Is Breath of Life one of her books? If so, then "one day" would not be necessary. If is something that can happen several times (e.g. an interview), you can say "Once, in an interview, she said".

Rhymes, lines, smiles, all the times

Sometime ago the Brazilian music style used to be more smarter (what do you mean by smart? Some other words I can think of are deep, insightful, have more meaning). Now most of singers just repeat some sounds in words and make musics from it.
It's funny, lovely, but sometimes it is very stupid.
I won't make a list of the singers that sing this kind of music because I don't think I have the wisdom to judge them, it's just my opinion of about the lyrics.
There is a singer I used to listen to listening his songs. These songs are very smart. His name is "Gabriel O Pensador". He uses rhymes and rhythms in an amazing way. While I was writing this text I was listening to "Linhas Tortas" (if you want to check it out: http://www.kboing.com.br/gabriel-o-pensador/1-1222044/). In at that song music he says something about his parents, life and one of the most important things to him: Portuguese. He loves to write lyrics and to surf (since you used to write, you have to maintain that tense), but about surfing you won't listening to hear him talking about it. I know that because I watched an interview where he mentioned said his love for surfing. He is very smart and his songs musics are very famous in Brazil.
Now people are more interested in musics with not much lyrics, but more dancing rhythm. There are sorts of musics that suit time better than others (This phrasing is a bit awkward. I would say something like: "There are some types of music that suit some occasions better than others"). If you are listening to musics by your self I do recommend "Gabriel O Pensador", but if you are in a party, for instance, songs with a good dancing rhythms are better.

Great job on this text! I am definitely checking out Gabriel O Pensador. It is awesome that you practice your writing so often. 

My struggle with the prepositions and adverbs

It has been a while since I noticed how hard it is to use the prepositions and adverbs correctly.
I think it is very smart when you know how to use those things correctly, it shows you have a good knowledge of the grammar and I'm not saying it just for English, it is the same for all of the languages.
In Spanish, for instance, I have the same problem, but in Spanish I don't push myself too much because Spanish hasn't been my target language lately, it will be in the future, but for now my heart beats for English... :)
I make an appointment it a point to myself to write an entry almost everyday to practice my writing. Although I always have read my community friends' corrections and paying attention to them, I still make some mistakes, but it's normal.
Besides, although I think I have a medium level of English, maybe I'm an B1 or B2, I make some mistakes so bored like "I'd to tell to you..." or "It was a pleasure to me...". About
The process to master a language is huge and for people that don't have the necessity to use the language during the day it is still worse.
I watched a video in an website where the speaker said you always need to be motivated when aiming toward your goals. Sometimes you need to look back and realize how much you have improved until then. Recently I talked to a friend and he told me the same thing.
Something that fascinates me is how foreigners can master another language without getting out their countries.



Thank you so much for reading this and your corrections!

Great job, Moa! :D Just a few comments:

1. I know what you meant by "it is smart", but it is rare to describe an action/skill as smart. I would say maybe, "it shows good skill..." or even "it is great". 

2. I think you might have confused besides with although (?).

Other than that, it looks great!
