Hola Gabriela, Casi perfecta.

We used to drink, refers only to the past. We drink is more general, it can mean past, present and future in this case.

It might be slightly better to structure the last sentence like so:
Thinking about how frightening the world can be when you are not here.
or.
Thinking about how frightening the world seems when you are not here.0 votedSeptember 28, 20161- El oso negro Estoy aquí en casa. Hay un oso negro afuera. Las personas dicen que los osos son peligrosos pero creo que no es cierto. Este oso está comiendo las flores que planté durante la primavera. Creo que él está muy lleno porque casi todas las flores han desaparecido. Estoy triste por esto porque me encantaría las flores y ahora ninguno queda. Necesito esperar otro año más antes de que vuelvan.August 10, 201670
- Los Verbos Me gusta el idioma español. Yo creo que los verbos son difíciles a aprender. Hay muchas formas de los verbos pero los lógicos verbos son regular. Los verbos regular están un poco más fáciles a aprender porque siguen un patrón lógico. Una persona que quiere aprender español va a necesitar mucha práctica con los verbos porque hay verbos que no siguen las reglas. Es por esto que necesitamos más tiempo para aprenderlas. Verbos son poderosos porque cada verbo tiene mucha información. Es muy importante a aprender los verbos regular e irregular si quieres hablar español.August 5, 201650
- What does the following phrase mean in English? What does the following phrase mean in English? Hace unos años, había un rey muy poderoso. I understand the second part to mean "There was a very powerful king" but I'm not sure what "Hace unos años" means exactly. Many years ago? Thank you in advance!July 7, 201660
One day of Amélia
Today I got up at 7:30 a.m. I made breakfast and thought: I want study, or watch movies because I need to improve my English.
Then I remembered that today was the day to clean the house. This is very boring, because I spend my time doing things that are necessary, yet unproductive. I also need to make lunch. Think about how much time I spend doing chores. I finally finished at 3:00 PM!!!
I spent six hours being Amélia. Do you know who Amélia is? In Brazil we say that someone is Amélia when, for example, a woman, stays at home cleaning, cooking, washing, etc,. Amélia is very important. We need to recognize the Amélias in the world, because Amélia's work is not easy.
I'm so tired today because I was Amélia!0 votedJuly 2, 20160- The word "got" shows ownership of the books or possession of the books. Or in this case a lack of ownership as the statement says: I own zero books. You might hear someone say "I haven't got any books" when they are annoyed or angry but it could be used when someone is not angry also. It would be best to say. "I don't have any books" which means exactly the same thing.0 votedJune 25, 20161
