    My Hobbies! I have several hobbies. They´re; running, listening music and reading. I don´t know exactly who is the biggest. There is a time that I prefer, for example, the running. The running is fantastic because you get in shape, you can think about your life, you can make plans for your future and talk to yourself. In other moments, I prefer listening music. Especially music in English. It is a great opportunity to improve my English skills such as listening and speaking. And you can make a journey through the music. I don´t like that music the tune is pretty catchy cuz I can´t get it out of my head. I got Spotify. My music subscription lets me listen to millions of songs at a cheap rate. Using it I stream digital music over the internet and I don´t have to download it into my computer. As all we know, It´s against the law to share music for free. In a cloudy or rainy days, I love to read. I´m able to read absolutely everything. I read the news in the newspaper but only in digital not in printed. I read books in English and in Brazilian Portuguese. My favorite kind of book is fiction. I challenge myself. I must read two or three books a month. Currently, I prefer to read books in English. I sure that I need to improve my velocity reading. But that is another battle.

    Música Nova!

    Oi gente boa!

    Estou procurando música nova brasileira. Tenho ouvindo as mesmas músicas mas agora quero encontrar música nova! Eu gosto de Maria Gadu, Djavan, Otto, Elis Regina, Vinicius de Moraes, João Gilberto, Jorge Ben e Zeze di Camargo! No dia em que eu saiiii da casaaaa.....

    Acho que tenho música de gente velha do Brasil mas realmente é muita boa! Mas também quero saber o que gostam as pessoas mais jovens no Brasil. Na verdade, eu gosto de toda a música brasileira. Então, por favor, me deixe uma nota com seu artista/música preferidos e sem dúvida vou escutar.

    Passei uns minutos escutando "Simples Desejo" - Thiaguinho e Gilberto Gil. É muita boa e relaxante,  com boa mensagem. Antes escutava essa música quando caminhava para escola para "abrir a porta do dia." E como disse Gil, "sorrir pra qualquer pessoa, andar sem rumo na rua." Felicidade pura! ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXcl4uf0Xxw )

    Então espero ler as suas recomendações da música. Obrigado gente!!!

    Meu Dia.

    Não foi um dia típico hoje. Eu acordei mais tarde porque a noite passada eu e os meus amigos falamos até tarde. Nós falávamos sobre vários tópicos. Por exemplo: a vida no rio São Francisco, dinheiro, amizades, amantes, a eleição no EU; e sobre a vida em geral. Por isso eu fui para o trabalho mais tarde. Mas isso não foi um problema. No trabalho foi tudo normal.

    The birth of my baby boy My wife got pregnant in July 2014 and our baby was born in April 2015. We waited until the second trimester to tell people, because there is less risk of having miscarriage. During the pregnancy my wife had terrible morning sickness and she also had cravings for cheese and watermelon. The birth itself was uncomplicated. My wife went into labor at midnight, and the baby was born at 7 a.m. She didn't feel too much pain and didn't need epidural. She was on drips to make the contractions come little quicker. Her midwife was with her during the birth, just to make sure that everything went well. Luckily, It was a normal delivery and She didn't need a Caesarean section. The doctor cut the cord and put the baby on her stomach. He said Congratulations! It's a healthy baby boy. We prepared our house before my wife went into hospital. We decorated the baby's bedroom. We also had to buy some baby equipment, such as a baby bath, a changing mat, a carry cot, a cot and a mobile. Family and friends bought lots of baby clothes and teddy bears. And now when I see my baby I going to start talking in a high pitched tone and stretching out my vowels. Whoose a prettyy baybeeee? By the way the baby's name is Pedro Luiz.

    This text is about my pet! The thing I love about dogs is that they're very faithful, so they'll never leave me. My dog is named Bob. As in Bob Marley. It's a tribute to the most fantastic and famous reggae singer. Bob is almost all black with a few brown spots along his body. Besides, Bob is not very furry. Indeed, his fur is too short. Even though, I love stroking him. He is three years old. He is so cute and I love him so much. My little dog has a big tail and It wags every time when he see my face. When some strangers arrives near by us, Bob barks too much and very loud. Usually, Bob eats two times a day and when I offer his meal he wags his tail or if he has a chance licks any part of my body. In his meals, he prefers dog food, but I add small pieces of meat, liver, chicken or fish. At same time, I offer him cold water. Bob runs very fast, but it's a pity for him because I live in a small apartment. I should be living in a house with a bigger yard. Definitely, Bob is my best friend and that's why I must to say: It's worth have a dog in my life.

    Novo ano, nova língua.

    I spontaneously decided to learn Portugese this year. I am an absolute beginner.

    Eu sou Miriam. Não sou da China, sou alemã. Moro na Alemanha. Berlim é a capital da Alemanha. Bem-vindo à Alemanha.
    O João mora em Portugal. Ele é português. Lisboa é a capital de Portugal.

    O cinema é grande. A cidade é grande.
    O filme demora duas horas. Para estudantes a entrada é gratuita.

    Obrigada pela ajuda!
