    Questions about me

    Here are some questions that I must answer. Please, help me!

    "Hello, Leonardo. Talk about you"

    "- Well, what do you know, my name is Leonardo, I'm twenty three, I'm an electrical engineering student, I've been cursing 7 th period (<em>I'm not sure what you want to say here--cursing means to say bad words</em>), I go to the Universidade do Rio de Janeiro. I live with my mom. I have (<em>In American English we don't write "I've" when we want to say "I have something", only if it is part of a longer verb, like "I have been to Brazil" would be "I've been to Brazil". In British English you might write it as you did above, but it's more of a spoken thing) </em>a sister and her name is Larissa, she <em>(no need for the word "already" here) </em>as worked in the White Martins." <em>(Do you mean the White Mountains? In New Hampshire?)</em>

    "What do you do spend time?"

    "(<em>"Sincerely" can't be used here</em>. <em>It is mostly used to end a letter, as in "Sincerely, Rodrigo" or you can also say "She spoke very sincerely". But not to mean "Honestly", which is what you want here, I think.</em>) I really like to learn new things and travel to places where I can be closer to nature".

    "How long have you been studying English?"


    "- I've been studying English for two years, and since February of 2015 (<em>we never write out the words for years</em>), I've dedicated every day to improving"


    "Have you already travel to other Country?"

    "- Not yet. But I am very interested in visiting the USA and Europe. Maybe one day..."

    "Do you have girlfriend?"

    "-Yes. (<em>In English, we never answer a question with just a verb. You need the direct object--what do you have?)</em> Her name is Jessica. We have been together for three years".

    "How old is She? What do she do?"

    "-She's twenty three years old. She's working with handicraft and selling jewelry". She's has a micro-enterprise." (<em>You can say "own a micro-enterprise, but it's not so common here. It would be more common to say "She's a small business owner" or "She is an entrepreneur")</em>

    "What do you think about your future personal/academic?"

    "- I think about working somewhere that I feel good, getting a good salary and a excellent plan of carrier." (<em>I don't know what this last phrase means--what do you want to say with "a good carrier"?)</em>

    "Have you interest in to participate from exchange (travel for other country) or some thing similar?

    " - I am interested to get fluent in English some way that I can get contact all day with the language, be it through people, phone calls, e-mails or any other way of communication. Today, my priority is my academics and fluency in English, because I know that exist one world behind the wall of this language." <em>(What exists behind the wall? I don't understand)</em>

    <em>
    </em>

    <em>Nice job overall! You express yourself very nicely. The things I changed are small things to make your English sound more fluent.
