    Thanks a lot for writing this article! It has very good points. I would like to give my opinion. (sorry for the mistakes).

    I would like to point out the importantance of enjoying when you are learning a language. If you do not enjoy, finally, you will give up. I love a sentence which says " If we do what we like to do, it is the process itself that is the reward"  

    It could seems a very simple tip, but we usually forget it. For example, when we advice to speak with other people,  I think that it is an incomplete tip. In my opinion, it is very important that you really like the person who you are talking. 

    For example, in my case, I usually talk English with two people throughout week. Do I want talk with them only because I am learning a language? Of course that no! On the contrary, mainly I want to talk with them because I really love speaking with them, and so they tell me their things! It happens the same  if you are seeing a serious or a film, Do you like it? Are you enjoying?  If not, you should change it. As i said before, it could sound very simple but many people force themselves to do things they do not like.

    To sum up, when you are going to study a language, if you think "oh.. what bored",you should think what you are doing, and it changes the method! Do those things that you like it! Learning a language is a long race, and if you do not enjoy it , you won`t finish the race.

    Essay FCE "We must look after the world" The pollution is one of the most dangerous problems. Nowadays, there are a lot of organizations that fight for a best world. However, this is not enough. We need the aid of everybody. In this essay, I will try that people think about the importance of looking after the environment. First of all, it is necessary doing ourselves these questions, What are we doing to protect the environment? ¿Do we recycle? ¿How many times do we use our car? The answer to these questions are crucial. If we start to be aware of our acts, and we start to change them, then, we will increase our level of life. It starts to use the bicycle more than the car could be a good beginning On the other hand, from my point of view, the political parties must encourage the good acts. For example, Giving an extra money to the people who take part in acts to protect the environment. To sum up, each person has the responsibility of looking after the environment. Everybody should respect the nature because if not, we will regret in the future.

    Dentro de Diez Años

    Dentro de diez años, me gustaría estar jubilado. Aunque sea imposible para mí parar (más natural: dejar) de trabajar totalmente, no me veo en 10 años trabajando más que de 4 horas por al dia. Académicamente, me gustaría seguir dando clases si no de inglés, tal vez de psicología. También me gustaría vivir ya no aquí (más natural: dejar de vivir)en Rio de Janeiro porque los problemas de violencia, tráfico y demás son tremendos. Me gustaría vivir en un lugar más tranquilo y menos caliente(más natural: menos caluroso). Quizás sea capaz de comprar una casa en Florianópolis y vivir ahí. También espero que pueda seguir aprovechando (más natural: disfrutando) además de todas las cosas buenas de la vida. Por ejemplo, quiero continuar viajando mucho porque tengo muchos países todavía que ver. Finalmente, espero poder estar hablando conseguir hablar español con fluidez. Si fuera invitado a trabajar en (más natural: tuviera una oferta de trabajo de) un país hispanohablante, ¡no dudaría en aceptarlo!


    Está genial escrito, solo te pongo algunas cosas, para que suene más natural! ¿Visitar algún país hispanohablante? Vente a España!
    Aquí estaríamos encantados de acogerte!!! te veo mañana ;) un abrazo!!!

    Advertisements Nowadays, there are miles of thousands advertisements on TV which encourage people to purchase anything. Many people criticize it, however the truth is that the advertisements can be useful too because it let people know about any product that they could need. In this essay, I will discuss some arguments for and against advertisement. There are a lot of researches which show effects of advertisement on people. While we could think that we are not being influenced by the advertisement, on the contrary, the truth is that we are not aware of the effects. In general, the professionals of publicity use a lot of techniques in order to present their product as if it was unique, and in this form people feel special when they buy the products. However, will it be the solution ban all the advertisements? As all in life, everything has their good points and bad points, and we have to find out! On the one hand, Whether advertising cigarettes can be terrible for the health because you are promotion a drug, on the other hand advertising medicines can be very good for the knowledge of people. As far as I am concerned, of course I reckon that we will have to ban all the advertisements which promotion a drug and things like that, but for me, the solution is not eliminate the publicity, if not, controlling what type of product is being advertised and if this, it is good or bad for the society in general.

    A new activity Every school has their own method of learning! In terms of sport, some schools usually give classes of football, basketball, baseball, etc. In this report, I will introduce a new activity which a lot of research support their practise and not many schools give it as subject! The new activity that I am going to introduce is: Meditation. I started to practise meditation five years ago. It is the easiest activity to practise because you do not need any object, you only need yourself and a little of constance! ¿what does it consist in? There are a lot of types of meditation, the more common is keep your focus on your breath for some minutes, but there other thypes like keep the focus on a specific objetc, or in some part of your body. This that it could seems simple, it has a lot of benefits. Nowadays, there are a lot of children who have TDA (Deficit attention). This disease that at the beginning it could be seen as little serious, it could cause a lot of problems throughout their life to the children. Practice meditation is good for your body and for your mind. In special, it could be a fantastic form for the children learn to keep control of their mind. Besides, they could develop the capacity on focus their mind in only thing, and at this form, it can be more productive and more happy. I encourage you to prove by yourself!

    Protect environment Environment is a very important part in our lives and we have to respect it because if we damage it, we were damaged ourselves. It is very important that people are aware of the importance of looking after our environment. In my city, we have a lot of programmes to incentive people in keeping the streets clean. For example, there are a lot of groups, which you can take part, in order to clean the streets and finally, at the end of the day it receives a tip. From my point of view, it is very important for the education which people receive since they were young. In my city,since the children are very young, they have all types of classes related to the importance of protect the environment. Of course, we cannot control everybody, but we try it. For example, the last year, the political parties create one initiative which it consisted that it was obligatory that everybody had in their houses three different rubbish bin in order to recycle. to sum up, protect the environment it is a duty of everybody, and when we realise and we start to take care, we could live better.

    Una estrategia de aprendisaje aprendizaje importante

    Si hacemos (formamos) parte de esta comunidad virtual, es porque, por supuesto, nos encanta aprender lenguas. Aprender una lengua extranjera no es una tarea fácil. Hay que tener estrategias para hacerlo de la manera más eficaz. Una estrategia que me ayuda muchísimo está vinculada al concepto de "captación de la diferencia" entre dos lenguas (“noticing hypothesis”, en inglés).Como alumno, estoy siempre intentando percibir las diferencias entre mi lengua materna (el portugués) y el español. Por ejemplo, al leer un artículo en la internet sobre fotografía, me dí di cuenta que en español se dice “hacer/sacar buenas fotos” en cuanto mientras que  en portugués usamos un otro verbo (= tirar). En otras palabras, mi punto de partida es normalmente la diferencia entre lo que conozco en español (que aun no es mucho) y lo que conocen los hablantes nativos. También por esto (Por esta razón), leo y escucho español todo todos los días.

    De hecho, esta estratégia estrategia me ayuda más que hacer ejercicios gramaticales o estudiar la gramática formalmente. E  Y tú, ¿que piensas? ¿Cual es tu estrategia de aprendizaje preferida?


    *** No seas tan modesto, que sabes y bastante español!! La redacción está genial, y sin lugar a dudas, es un método fantástico y que ayuda muchísimo en el aprendizaje de un idioma! Un abrazo compañero! ;)
