    Professional presentation I’ve been working in a great Group six years and a half by now. I started my career path as an Accounting Intern and now I work as Accounting Coordinator for the Infrastructure segment of the Group, managing a team of analysts and assistants. I’m an accountant certificated by the local Accounting Council in Brazil (CRC). My background experience include the preparation of Financial Statements according both the local (BRGAAP/CVM) and the international (IFRS) standards, the monthly consolidation of Balance Sheet/Income Statement, the attendance to both internal and external auditors, and other correlate activities. I’ve been also working in restructuring corporate processes (merger & acquisition), interacting with other Company’s departments such as Finance, Investors Relationship, Law, Tax, etc. I also have good experience on preparing and presenting informations to Managers and Chief Officers, with constant and direct report to them.

    Traveling to the U.S. Hi folks, it's good to be back here writting to you. Today's matter of my notebook is about my next trip: New York City! I'm so excited about the journey that I can't stop thinking about the uncountless kinds of stuff to do over the city that never sleeps. I'll be triping with my wife and We're planning to "live" in NYC for 20 days. It will be a cutural immersion trip. We aren't planning the shop a lot of eletronic stuffs or walk through all the outlets avaiable. Our intension is to spend that time as "local" as we can, buying our on food, cooking at home, and seeing the coolest places the locals enjoy. Of course we're also saving some time to see the most famous places of the city, like Liberty Statue, Central Park, Times Square (just for a few minutes), Empire State Bld, and etc. So, if you are a NYC resident, please feel free to suggest me some nice places to go!

    Similaridades interessantes entre a Austrália e o Brasil

    Não escrevo muito em português mas estou esperando por um vôo e então pensei que escreverei uma nota aqui. Sei que cometo muitos erros mas é uma boa prática para mim. Fique à vontade para me corrigir.

    Similaridades

    1. Os dois países tem muitos esteriótipos sobre eles.

    Todo mundo sabe que a Australia tem cangaru, calor, praia, outback, natureza e animais perigosos como aranhas e cobras. As pessoas também 'sabem' que no Brasil tem capybaras(?), calor, praia, Amazônia, e animais perigosos como aranhas e cobras (nunca havia pensado nesse similaridade, né?). Teve/Houve estrangeiro que pensou que morasse na Amazônia?

    2. Os dois tem capitais desconhecidas.

    Todo mundo pensa que a capital do Brasil é o Rio ou São Paulo. Claro que não, a capital é Brasilia no Distrito Federal. Pessoas pensam também que a Capital do nosso pais é Sydney, mas não é. Estou no aeroporto doméstico de Sydney agora mesmo esperando meu vôo para a capital onde moro - Camberra no Australian Capital Territory. As duas cidades Brasília e Camberra são parecidos em já que as duas tem distritos federais em estados maiores, foram construídas recentemente (principalmente de concreto - muito concreto), que são bem planejadas (possívelmente planejadas demais), servem como centros de governos federais e a maioria dodos funcionários públicos, e também são bem desconhecidas em fora dos países.

    3. Os dois amam o churrasco

    É super normal ter churrasco ou 'barbie' (curto por barbeque - temos o jeito de escrever da Ingleterra não dos Estados Unidos) nos fins de semana. Minha experiência no Brasil era igual, mas enquanto cada um de nos come um pedaço inteiro de carne com pão, os brasileiros tendem cortar a carne e comer com arroz, farofa e feijões. Geralmentes os homens assam a carne no fogão e as mulheres fazem a salada. Os homens geralmente recebem muito elogio pela carne apesar de as mulheres poderem ter marinado a carne come muito trabalho por horas e horas...). Mas todo mundo gosta, excetos os vegetarianos, mas aqui tem coisas que podemos assar para os vegetarianos - não sei se existe algo assim no Brasil.

    4. Os dois principalmente são monolinguais.

    Quase todo mundo na Austrália só fala inglês porque não precisamos de outra lingua. Temos também aulas em francês, chinês ou japonês na formatura como vocês tem inglês, mas provavelmente tenham muitas poucas pessoas que falam uma segunda lingua. Pode ser que os brasileiros são melhores nisso porque tem fronteiras com países que falam espanhol.

    The corporative career path versus to get your own business Sometimes, specially when you are not motivated in your corporative career, people use to consider building their own business as an alternative way to be happier than they are inside the office. I've been thinking about it this days and I'd like to share with you. To be your own boss has a lot of advantages I think. But, being a employee, good things can also happen to you, specially when you work in countries with strong and favorable employees laws to support you. So, I think no matter what is your choise, you need to find deep inside you what really makes you happy. Being a owner or a employee shouldn't be a escape one from another, you need to realize which one makes your eye shine higher. And, of course, there's always a third way: you can stay in your mom's house for lifetime and just forget about all this working life stuff.

    Football and the NFL Hi everyone! As a English's student, I've been seeking to immerse on American Culture as much as I can. And, obviously, the football is a essential part of the USA culture. I started to watch the games in 2014 season and I liked it at the very first time. I don't know exactly why, but I choose the Seatle Seahawks as "my team" (Ok, no one needs to remind me about the Super Bowl 49). I'm also enthusiastic about the Giants. Maybe because I dream to see NYC someday. Here in Brazil the "football" isn't as big as in the US, but we have some local leagues here and a national league too. Some "soccer" teams like Corinthians and Flamengo already have its football team representand.

    Dificulties on speaking! Hello everyone! I would like to share my disappointment with you. I've been studying English sorely last months, and I still having problems with conversations. Maybe I'm doing it the wrong way, but I'll keep trying. I think I can read, listen, and write in English on upper intermediate level but my speaking stands a level under. When I'm trying to talk in English, it's always a hard time to me because I never be sure if my sentences building are fine. Besides that, I keep thinking on Portuguese sentences building model while I'm speaking English, and it's obvious that it will not work but, as I said, I'll keep training; I hope some day the speak English process could be easier to me.

    How important is to get the fluence (accent)? What native English speakers think about the non-native people speaking English with foreign accent? Is it really matters? Or do you think people only need to get their message understandable?

    A diferença entre os dois é parecida com a diferença existente entre o inglês americano e o britânico. A maior diferença está no sotaque/sonoridade e em algumas poucas palavras. Mas como você pretende fazer um curso, sugiro estudar diretamente o português de Portugal, principalmente para se acostumar com o sotaque/sonoridade.

     

    The difference between european and brazilian portuguese is similar to the american and britain english diferences. The most important diference is the accent/word sounds and some specific words. But, how you are looking to take a academic course, I suggest to you to learn the european portuguese, especially to turn the sounds and the accent more familiar to you.

    "To" or "For"? There's some rule to use "to" or "for" in English? Because in Portuguese these both means, and sounds, the same.
