Right now, I am only available for language exchange with native German or Dutch speakers.

The sun.
The sun's shining on me. I can feel its sun rays through my clothes, on my skin.
That feels so good, and I can hardly can think back, remember (or recall) when that was last happened the last time ever.
[OR: I can hardly remember the last time that happened.]
Too long ago, that since I've seen you; too much time has passed [no comma] since I could feel you.
I close my eyes; I enjoy its heat, and it feels like , that as if I've never been aware [no comma] of my needing of need for you, my sun.
I feel the sun on my face; I breath the scent of naq champa [<--???] through in my lungs; and I feel flashed. [<-- wrong word, not sure what you mean] I feel happy, and right now, that all feels so beautiful. and I really love this moment of peace.
That's my moment in a nutshell.

No just Besides that, I like to walk, i like to go to the beach, take photos, go to the movie theater. in my last time I watch The last movie I saw in the theater was Star Wars: The Force Wakens — a great movie, by the way. I use movies to practice English. I watch in English e and read subtitles in Portuguese. What do you like to do? O que você gosta de fazer? Do you like learning a new languages?

HUMANS IN SPACE: http://www.abc.net.au/btn/story/s4204568.htm
Focus questions were created by myself.
1. What is the aim of this article?
This article was talkeding about the history of humanity's step onto the lunar surface of the moon [or just: onto the moon] and the possibility of living in space.
2. Why do they keep sending people to space stations?
Because actually the crew which they are sending to the space station was going to will actually stay there and live on Mars in future.
3. How did they do to make it possible? [Better: How was it possible?]
They were set up the a space station which we was called Skylab in the 70s. It was the world's first space station which letting enabled people to live in space.
Or: It was the first space station that made it possible for people to live in space.Really good overall!
Be careful with article and verb tenses. That's the hardest part, I know, especially for speakers of Asian languages. :)
0 votedMarch 19, 20162- Car-Sharing - meine Meinung Grüssen, Ich lass gestern einen Artikel in Ihrer Zeitung die von Car-Sharing erzählte. Ich freute mich über diese Idee zu lesen. Bei mir in Amerika gibt es auch schon so was. Eine Firma die ich "ZipCar" nennt hat Autos an an verschiendene Stellen in grösserer Städten, wie zum Beispiel Seattle, Portland, und San Francisco. Mann kann sie pro Stunde, Tag, order Wochende vermieten. Das Gebühr is Inklusiv die Versicherung, die Sorge, und sogar das Petrol (man darf tatsächlich höchstens 180 Meilen pro Tag fahren). Bei ZipCar vermietete ich mal ein schönes, neuews Auto für eine tolle Weekend-Reise. Obwohl ich das Car-Sharing nur einmal probierte, ich kann vorstellen das ich wurde es im Alltag machen wenn ich in einer Grossstadt wohnte wo man kann öftermals zu Füsse gehen und kein tägliches Autofahren benötigt. Sicher wäre es leichter einene Parkplatz zu finden, denn diese Autos haben schon ihre eigene Stellen! Es wäre zwar wichtig dass die Preise für mich klappen würden. Die Preise worüber Sie schriebten find ich angenehm — sie sind günstig genug dass man könnte Shopping gehen oder ein Konzert einnehmen ohne sich zu kümmern über die Vermietungskosten wärend das Auto am Parkplatz wartet. Gegenseitig, für jemand der ein Auto oft benutzt, ist es wahrscheinlich nötig (oder mindestens gemütlicher) sein eigenes Auto zu besitzen. Weiter, eine Mietung ist auch nicht praktisch für einer der öftermals mit wenigem Vorkentnis ein Auto dringend braucht. Insgesamt, das Car-Sharing ist ein wunderschöne Idee obwohl es nicht für Alle praktisch sei. Alles Gute, AngelicaMarch 19, 201640
- What's the context for this sentence? In general, I read it as "some things are so important, or so touching, that we can't really find the right words to speak about them." But knowing what came before/after would help. too big = metaphor for "too overwhelming or awe -inspiring"0 votedMarch 19, 20160
Sometimes social media scares me
Have you ever noticed how quickly the information spreads, and how quickly people start to make (or post) their comments without checking the reliability of the source or without having the expertise in some the specific topic?
The right of free expression exists In almost all societies exist the right to free expression, so it's okay that people express their opinions, ** but I feel that sometimes they don't measure consider or take care of with their words. I have seen a lot of fights in the middle of this comments, and it makes me feel a little sad[ no comma] because I have seen how easy it is loss to lose control and hurt someone else (maybe not consciously). And sometimes, this these fights are about completely false information, as you can see in some experimental publications that, after achieving a great amount of "shares" or "likes," are recognized [<--do you mean "acknowledged" ?] as false by their authors.
I really love the way that social media can help to spread good news, or how it can be used to help people to find their a lost pet, and another amazing applications. So that is why I think that we need to remind remember that there is another person behind every profile or member of social media profile, that it's dangerous sharing to share something that when we are not sure whether it's true (What if we are someone is not sure about the possible effects of a medication or diet that we are this person is recommending, for example, without being a health professional?), and more important, that we need to be careful with our words.NOTE: the last long sentence is a bit awkward with the parenthetical question in the middle. I would revise it like this:
So that is why I think that we need to remember that there is another person behind every social media profile. It''s canalso be dangerous to share something when we are not sure whether it's true. For example: what if I am not sure about thepossible effects of a medication or diet that I am recommending, since I am not a health professional?). Most importantly, we need to be careful with our words.
** they is plural, thus opinion must be opinions
