Hi! My name is Mike. I’m an attorney from the United States. I live in Chicago. I’m learning Portuguese and Spanish. Spanish: I studied Spanish in college, but I haven't practiced speaking in a long time. I'm hoping to travel to South America soon, and I want to be able to talk to people. Also, a lot of people in Chicago speak Spanish, and I want to be able to talk to them. Portuguese: In 2014 I went to the World Cup in Brazil. I visited Rio again in 2015. I'm learning Portuguese because I love traveling to Brazil and want to visit again and again.

    My town

    My town;

    I live in Viveiro. This small town is in the north, around 90 kilometers from Lugo. Viveiro is famous for its historical city center, Easter and a famous concert called Resurrection Fest. It has a library, a theatre, a cinema, a train station and you can find beautiful shops in which to buy clothes or shoes. There are incredible beaches here so in summer you can sunbathing sunbathe or go swimming. There are many restaurants and the food isn't expensive, and they have delicious food like different types of delicious food like seefood seafood or fish (NOTE 1). The winter is a bit boring because the weather is bad and the people spend a lot of time at home.

    NOTE 1: In English, fish is considered a seafood, so I'd recommend saying something like "seafood and meat" or "seafood and pasta".  "Seafood and fish" sounds redundant (although seafood includes more than just fish).

    Great job Criss!

    My favorite book

    One of my favorite books is "The Cider House Rules" by John Irving.
    There are two reasons. First, In in this novel the author raises acute social prublems problems such as illegal abortion's issue the issue of illegal abortions or and problems of in the orphanage system. Yeat Yet although the story is set in the 1940s it is still have still has an interesting perspective on our lives today because the same problems could can (NOTE 1) be observed in many regions of the modern world.
    Another reason is that I find this story undoubtedly exciting. It really keeps your attention till until the last pages page because of the original plot and different characters in the book. Throughout the reading, your mind inadvertently becomes a part of the life created by the author.
    For this these reasons, I consider "The Cider House Rules" to be one of the most interesting books that I have read so far.

    NOTE 1: I believe that "could" is also grammatically correct in this sentence, but "can" sounds better to me.

    Great job Ivan!

    Modelo de examen DELE para practicar (Tuve que escribir un mensaje electrónico a la asociación "Juegaterapia" en el que le anuncio el envío de una videoconsola, siguiendo algunas pautas) De mi consideración: Me llamo Mike, y he leído su solicitud en el periódico. Yo le voy a enviar a su asociación una videoconsola. Estoy respondiendo a su solicitud porque mis hijos ya no la usan, y también porque creo que el reciclaje de aparatos electrónicos es muy importante. Me alegra que Juegaterapia organice esta iniciativa, porque muchos padres con niños enfermos no tienen los recursos para comprarles a sus hijos videoconsolas nuevas. Creo que los niños en hospitales tienen el derecho de vivir como cualquier niño que no está enfermo. Para alcanzar este objetivo, es importante que organizaciones como la suya continúen a anunciar las iniciativas como esta en el periódico, para que personas como yo se enteren de sus esfuerzos. Además, les sugiero que también solicite a voluntarios para que visiten a los niños en el hospital. Pienso que los niños disfrutarán mucho de estas visitas. Al final, aplaudo sus esfuerzos para organizar esta iniciativa. El mundo sería un lugar mejor si existieran más organizaciones como la suya. Saludos cordiales, Mike

    Viajar en el Tiempo Estoy seguro de que nadie puede viajar en el tiempo. Si fuera posible, existiría evidencia de personas que habían viajado del futuro a nuestro presente. Pero hay una teoría que explica este: un viajero en el tiempo no puede regresar a un tiempo antes de la invención del viaje en el tiempo. Es decir que si alguien entra en un portal de tiempo, necesita salir, y una salida todavía no existe. Pero si inventamos el viaje en el tiempo, es muy probable que nos conozcamos personas del futuro.

    A Copa do Mundo O ano passado, eu fui ao Brasil para a Copa do Mundo. Visitei as cidades do Rio, Natal, Manaus, e Recife (porque eu segui o time dos Estados Unidos em todo o país). Mas infelizmente, eu estava no Rio por só um dia, e no podia conhecer bem a cidade. Eu adorei Brasil, então quando voltei aos Estados Unidos, comecei a aprender português, porque eu quero voltar ao Rio para conhecer mais a cidade e a gente.

    My vacation to Australia

    At the beginning of this month, my family and I took a trip to Australia and spent more than 10 days there. I should say that this country deserves to be called the most comfortable place to live. Even in winter, it was not too cold outside, especially on the Gold Coast.
    Compared to Sydney, which is the most modern and developed city, and which is similar to Shanghai, I prefer the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast is famous for its beaches and surfing. Its weather is good as well. So it's normal to see people surfing and swimming in the sea in winter.
    As for the environment, it's more like a big park, with forests and wild animals. There are so many crows and other birds there. On the highway, it's not surprising to see caution signs about koalas and kangaroos, which may cross the road at any time.
    Life there is simple and relaxed. I strongly recommend a visit to Australia, and I will go back there when I have time and money.
