    Just another notebook ...

    Hey reader ! =)

    Since I started using ITALKI (about a week ago) I've seen a number of people writing/typing down here their thoughts about anything they want. And I mean ANYthing. Sometimes things that doesn't attract people's attention whatsoever.

    Great! ITALKI respects our freedom of speech ! =P
    But this entry is not about it.

    I've been thinking a lot about what to write. Things likely to make users be like 'hey, that looks good, I'm gonna surely read that...'.
    And that's not because I want to become a kind of 'ITALKI celebrity' or the 'famous ITALKI guy'.
    I just want people to read what I post. And, of course, to correct me in any aspect I need.

    Therefore I write this only to ask anyone who reads this: What is important to get readers attention on ITALKI ? Write about food? Animals ? How I look cute sharing a mango with my dog and my parrot ?

    =)

    Pegar o trem

    Olá,Italki! Alguém me ajude, por favor.

    Hoje vamos visitar o templo Senso-ji que fica em Asakusa e é o templo mais velho em Tóquio.
    O trem É o melhor modo para ir lá.
    Agora vamos a Asakusa de metro.
    Temos que mudar para a linha Ginza na estação Shibuya.
    São 5 paradas para Shibuya. (Shibuya fica NA quinta estação A PARTIR daqui.)
    Chegaremos lá EM cerca de 10 minutos.
    Leva cerca de 30 minutos no total.
    Custa cerca de metade do preço para as crianças.
    Empurre o botão de preço na máquina.
    Tem que cobrar o seu cartão. (You need to charge your card.)
    O próximo trem vai partir ÀS 10:00.
    Este é o trem rápido, então vamos pegar o TREM SEGUINTE.
    Parece o trem está atrasado. Será que aconteceu um acidente?
    O trem fica superlotado nas horas de PICO.
    Muita gente desce aqui, então vamos descer uma vez e depois VOLTAREMOS AO trem.
    Vamos descer na estação seguinte.
    Não esqueça de levar AS bagagens NO BAGAGEIRO.
    Tenha cuidado com o pé.
    Podemos pagar o resto da TARIFA QUANDO CHEGARMOS.

    Muito obrigada por ler!

    Sugar or not sugar ? That`s the question !

    No ! They just don't match !

     

    If is there one thing I learnt in my 25 years living in this planet it is: It's a extreme sacrilege to put sugar on coffer. It's like having no respect at all for the ancients coffee gods.

     

    I still remember the first time I tasted coffee beans that I picked straight from the tree (tree?). At that moment my life changed. Ever since I discovered how life tastes better without any kind of sweetener on my food, I've been struggling to get people on my side. It's been a long hard fight to convince people that coffee must taste like coffee, not sugar.
    Anyways, I have to confess it's been in vain.

     

    And I'll keep having my non-sweetened coffee wether people find it strange or not

    Start fresh. Start anew.
    Don`t be afraid of ``lowering`` your level to get simple, non-complicated, not-so-fancy, phrases.
    Pick up some lines from a TV show you like and repeat after the actors, or even at the same time if you memorize it.
    Talk to yourself slowly. Read aloud slowly.

    Know your mouth. Discover the `englishn sounds` you can and those you cannot do and work hard on that.

    I`m not a professional. But I think it may be helpful.

    Exlosion ? Aliens ? Terrorists ? Something really weird happened at the place I work this afternoon. We are all down our usual business when we heard something like an explosion or something quite heavy falling to the ground on the outside. No one moves but stares at each other. No one knows what had happened. I though a crane had fallen. We were all asked to evacuate the buildings leaving all behind. People were trying to call on the radios anyone who could possibly know what had occurred (we usually use radios in the company`s facility). A few minutes later we were given permission to get back inside. The sound ? An excavator tire exploded nearby. I never thought a tire could be so loud.

    Have you ever been in a nightmare ? ''Have you ever slept on the bus during a night ride ? Suddenly you wake up feeling like you had slept ages and ages, but somehow you realize you are not so far where you were supposed to be. However, something is not quite normal. People around you are pale, dull, in a manner you see them with no life inside. No one gets off the bus. The driver does not stop neither to pick up nor to leave people behind. No one moves. You can catch some glimpses on the windows you don`t know exactly what they are ... and it`s dreadful. By the by, that`s all you are able (or allowed? who knows) to see outside that dark, silent, lifeless bus. Time goes by. You feel it. You cannot see it. You are not tired. And, just like everyone else, you just can`t move. You and your new friends can`t even speak ... `` HEY GUYS ! WOULD BE AMAZONG HAVING SOMEONE TO CORRECT THIS PART OF A TALE I'VE BEEN WRITING AND TELL ME WETHER YOU FIND IT INTERESTING OR NOT AND IF IT SOUNDS NATURAL SINCE I`M NOT A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER

    Hard to say I think. Also, it depends a lot on what you mean by `world`.

    I do believe, and agree with this guy, the world is a friendly place. But sometimes, now and then, one time or another, we face some bad stuff.

    I don`t remember where I saw this so I just want to share:
    ``the world is full of good people! if you don`t see them, then be them!``

    HEY GUYS !
    WOULD BE AMAZONG HAVING SOMEONE TO CORRECT THIS PART OF A TALE I'VE BEEN WRITING

    AND TELL ME WETHER YOU FIND IT INTERESTING OR NOT

     

    by the way, I`m not a native, so I`d appreciate if any native english speaker could tell me if all I have written sounds `natural` ...

    And you ? Have you ever thought about being a writer ?
