    That's a difficult question! The Cambridge Dictionary lists them both as synonyms, but I think you're right that "deeply" may be more informal. It also has a connotation of physical depth, as in "deep dive". I might say "I was profoundly bored by the lecture", for emphasis and slightly tongue in cheek, but "I was profoundly offended" sounds unnatural to me. Looking at the examples in the Cambridge dictionary, you can only really use "deeply" in "she sighed deeply" and "breathe in deeply". Some of the other examples might be more impactful without the word "deeply" - "he was [deeply] wounded by her fierce criticism." That's just my take on it - I'm not a language teacher!

    Very good article. I find speaking and listening in a foreign language more difficult than reading and writing.

    1. You are talking about a future possibility. You are still studying for your exam, but you think you aren't studying hard enough right now and probably won't pass if you carry on the same way. 2. You are talking about the past. You've already failed your exam!

    Your writing is good and easy to understand. A small suggestion is that you could make the sentences a bit longer, something like this...

    Describe appearance

    It's the most difficult topic for me <font style="background-color: yellow;">and</font> I rarely describe people.

    I have a friend. Her name is Lena. She is attractive <font style="background-color: yellow;">with</font> long curly brown hair <font style="background-color: yellow;">and</font> green eyes. She is normal height, <font style="background-color: yellow;">being</font> neither tall nor short. She is slender, but she always says that she wants to lose 5 kg.

    You could say "I fell off my bike and my head hit a tree" or "I was running through the woods and my head hit a branch of a tree". You wouldn't normally say "hit into", however you could say "I fell off my bike and my head smashed into a tree". Ouch!

    Thank you for a very good article. I was told that "introduzir" can be a false friend. Apresentar = introduce (in the social sense).

    I think "but" is fine. Some people invent crazy rules, but the important thing is to be clear in one's writing. You might like this little book, if you haven't already seen it: "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss. It's about punctuation, but it's got a lot of common sense advice and helps one to see what is important in writing.
