The Dogs
Those days I was backing home when I was chased by a pack of dogs.I think you're trying to say: Once when I was going home, I was chased by a pack of dogs.
It all happened after I get got out of a bus, with market shopping bags on my hands, and I passed in front of a dog. This, after saw me, After he saw me, he started to bark. Few A few seconds later, three others appeared from nowhere (from nowhere is OK - I like out of nowhere better). When I saw they them staring at me I found myself in a very difficult dilemma: should I run or turn my back and walking walk slowly? I choose the first one - and it was a terrible idea. Dogs are incredibly fast and, different from unlike me, they don't get tired after a time running quickly. In brief To make a long story short, (In brief is understandable - I like "to make a long story short" better) they cornered me and I had to give them a little bit of my food.

every night, when the sun Goes down, we can see amazing light points points of light and imagine wonderful things, and i find myself thinking How small we are, how our knowledge is limited.
There are so many things that we don't know, that we can't answer.
We are just little points in this enormous universe.0 votedJuly 11, 20161- acordar e acordar-se Há diferença entre "acordar" e "acordar-se"? Eu me acordei às oito da manhã.

Studing phrasal verbs
I´ll aprecciate if someone correct these sentences for me :D
Today I wanna formulate some phrases trying to use some phrasal verbs that I learned:
- In this bad economic situation, is easy to run into someone looking into a new job after be fired.- In this bad economic situation, it is easy to run into someone looking for a new job after being fired.
Como eu diria: In this economy, it is easy to find people looking for a new job after being let go.
- I check my e-mail box - I check my inbox. I check my email.to pull up the summary of the last class that I lost. - (I don't understand this part)
- It's very difficult to keep up/catch up with my friends when we running together.- It's very difficult to keep up with my friends when we run together.
- It's very difficult to keep catch up with my friends when we run together.
"We run together" means you run together on a regular basis. (every day, once a week). "We run together" tem sentido que vocês correm juntos regularmente. (todos os dias, uma vez por semana)
- My mom brought me up by herself.
- Looks good as is. (Parece que está bem assim mesmo.)
- It is hard to come by tickets for this presentation.
- It is hard to find tickets for this presentation.
- It is hard to get tickets for this (event)
(come by is OK. You can also say find or get)
Thank you guys!!0 votedJuly 10, 20160- Do a search for lelivros.online. It's a Brazilian website and you can download books in pdf, epub, or mobi (amazon kindle) format. All the books I've found have been free. I bought a kindle to read books in Portuguese and it's been worth it to me. Once I downloaded a book in Portuguese, it automatically downloaded a Portuguese-English dictionary. If I want to look up a word, I just highlight it on the touch screen and it looks it up. Also, it's much easier to read text on an e-reader than on a notebook or laptop. Book reviews: search for skoob.com.br It's a Brazilian online bookstore. I like the way their reviews are set up. It's easy to follow what books a particular person has liked. So let's say I find I like books you've liked - I read more of them. For any book, some people will like it and others won't. I like Skoob's system better than Amazon's star system. OK, to answer the original question: what books have I been reading? O Hobbit: It helped that I'd already read it in English - I liked it even though I've read it before A Chave de Rebecca (Ken Follet) - I liked it - actually, I couldn't put it down O Alquimista (Paolo Coelho) - I liked it - I found this one to be the easiest to read 1356 (Bernard Cornwell) - I liked it Livro do Desassossego (Fernando Pessoa) - I didn't like it - I couldn't get past the first few pages Tróia (Cláudui Moreno) - I like it Tropa de Elite (Luiz Eduardo Soares) - First of all, I saw the movie sub-titled in English and I liked it. The book- I read the first half of it and basically I liked it but it was the most difficult to read because of all the slang. Most of the words I try to look up aren't in the Portuguese-English Dictionary. What I'm going to do is read an English translation and then re-read it in Portuguese.0 votedJuly 9, 20160
