- Be more sophisticated when speaking and writing in Portuguese I can see many students repeating the subject in the texts. But in the polite and usual language its not needed, and even, if you are native, may sound like a dumb or calling the other as this. But we give a teaspoon to foreigners. Vejo muitos estudantes repetindo o sujeito nos textos. Mas na linguagem usual e polida isto não é necessário, e até mesmo, se você é nativo, pode soar como um idiota ou estar chamando alguém disso. Mas nós damos colher de chá para estrangeiros. Because the verbs in portuguese have many flexions, and in its forms we can identify the time and person related, you can consider this language full of conditions of compression. Sure we have also the infinitive just like english, but in some cases it´s not more used because some people say that, only attendants of 0800 speak like this, which is really not a sign of inteligence. Look at this phrase in english and tree forms of portuguese, and the version that a more cult person should use normally is the last: E porque os verbos em português tem muitas flexões, e suas formas podem identificar o tempo e a pessoa relacionada, você pode considerar esta linguagem cheia de condições de compressão. Certamente nós temos também o infinitivo, justamente como em inglês, mas em alguns casos não é mais usado porque algumas pessoas dizem que, apenas atendentes de 0800 falam dessa forma, o que não é realmente um sinal de inteligência. Veja esta frase em inglês e em português, e a versão que uma pessoa mais culta deveria usar normalmente: 1-Can you be going to take the document in order to be paying? I´ll be waiting for you to return. 2-Você pode estar indo retirar o documento para poder estar pagando? Vou estar aguardando o senhor estar retornando. 3-Você poderia estar indo retirar o documento para estar pagando? Vou estar aguardando o senhor estar retornando. 4-Você poderia retirar o documento para pagar? Aguardarei o seu retorno. As you can see, many are very similar to english words. But the verbs not. And, many long words that we use can be supressed or substituted for other more short or rare, in order to look more cult and sophisticated. Luckily, this rare words are more similar to english words than the diary ones... Because both are originally latim. Language seems to change more in the day by day level...

Eu me shamo Natasha. Eu moro em Russia. Eu sou analist.
You can use too:
Meu nome é Natasha. Moro na Rússia, e sou analista.
You dont have to repeat the subject all the time, its implicit in the conversation, and the flexion of the verb indicates it, until you change the subject, when you will inform it clearly.

Maybe u could use boundaries, or plaim forms, plain images to descreve visual arts and make it clearly diferentes from sculptures, and also because a cutted plain object could be also an sculpture.0 votedSeptember 20, 20152
Eu falo português.
Gosto das português porque é agradavel e familiar. Tem uma sonoridade engracada também porque tem muitas semelhanças com o espanhol.
U can supress a lot of words since the theme is obvious. If u talk about language, u dont need to explain that its nice to the ears for example. It couldnt be for the eyes lol... Its normal for native speakers get the mainstream information and make the phrases more compact to speak faster and with more sophiatication, because its suppposed that the interlocutor can understand because he or she is clever. So its polite to havê this duty, otherwise u are in the risk of being considering someone dumb.... If u chance the concern, so u must make it clear during changing.

Bom, cada vez que eu escrevo um texto aqui eu me queixo sobre minha falta de tempo. Lamento sobre isso mas vai ficar mais difícil ainda.
Ano que vem queria viajar ao Brasil. Esperava poder viajar em janeiro, fevereiro ou março mas agora eu vou ter que fazer um curso trestral! E no decorrer deste curso fico fora durante a semana e vou para casa nos finais de semana. Mas durante o periodo do curso trabalho o dia todo e estudo a noite! Tenho medo de não ter tempo suficiente para praticar meu português em apenas 3 meses.
Agora me sinto culpado porque tenho algumas pessoas com quem pratico e agora não posso falar tanto como eu gostaria, mas a situação vai ficar mais dificil.Nice level my friend. The editions I made mainly to demonstrate that you can supress a lot of words when the concern is obvious, u dont need to repeat them because the mais theme is well known after some words. U can short the phrases and speak with more sophiatication by not spending unnecessary words or information. Further, because some verba are already chosen in forma u dont need to use the subjectivo, its implicit.
O curso é importante mas agora acho que a vida é tão curta e quero fazer as coisas que desejo antes que seja tarde.
A vida aos trinta anos é cheia de responsabilidades, desejaria ter feito mais coisas até meus vinte anos.0 votedSeptember 20, 20153- Challenges of day after day I´d like to learn a language that could be eternal, smooth to speak, sexy, funny and easy, very rich in accent and with many stylish sound effects. But seems that every language of the world has it´s own idiosyncrasies, and there is no space to such foolish and individual lusts. Especially in the sense that no language can sustain all that is possible in every language. Every corner of the world has its own characteristics, like open or closed accents, breathed speech, vocals, gutturals, sophistication or street language and several other ways of talking, as well as living. They are all rich in its own ways. And the fact that its not possible to have everything in a language means to exclude some characteristics, like everything in life: to choose is almost to deny what we put aside. To choose, is to leave behind things that even when they could be good, could mean make not viable the chosen ones that we prefer, if obliged to.
September 19, 201500 Paper world
Since I was a little girl, my favorite hobby was reading books. I began to read very early - when I was three years old. And I did read all books for children of my house. Of course, my first books were fairy tales and stories about nature and animals. There were many Russian authors, who wrote about wild nature especially for children of different age.
But the most exciting thing for me is the mystery books. Detective stories, fantasy and science fiction are my favorite genres. When I was ten or eleven years old I began to read fantastic novels of Strugatsky brothers and amazing books of Robert Heinlein. The last one is still one of my favorite authors. His novels are not just fantastic stories: it is whole worlds, full of mysteries, complex characters and deeply psychological doings (?). If you read any of their books once, you'll never forget it.
It's hard to explain, but I really don't like Stephen King. For me his books are really boring. All his characters are... plastic? Non living? Synthetic? Unnatural? Choose what you prefer. Even his competitor Dean Koontz, which books are written in the same genre, have... more talent, I suppose.
Also I wanna tell about my second favorite writer - Victor Pelevin. His novels are complicated, difficult and unpredictable. He doesn't write fantastic, fiction stories. They look like alternative versions of our reality. And he is a very mysterious person. No one knows, who is he. He never visits any social events, he never gives interviews. Some people even think, that he really doesn't exist. But all his books are so deep and full of hidden sense. You may read one of his novels twice or hundred times, but every time you'll find something new. Something, that will force you to think about your life.
Yes, that's why I love to read books so much.0 votedSeptember 19, 20151III wish to you
I wish you have love, because this is very important to all the people in this world. So, I want you to think now, what would we be if we have no love ?
I wish you have a lot of money, because with this you can buy many clothes, perfums, houses, cars, toys and a lot of food. To eat is one the best thing in life :)
And when you get/reach at the end of your life, I wish you remember in your memory and will see that all you did was great things. That you did have many good friends and have concretized the things you considered right and all you liked.0 votedSeptember 14, 20150
