    E-mail to my friend Good evening everyone: my teacher, who is not a native English speaker, asked me to write an e-mail to a non-existent friend whose unhealthy lifestyle could cause her some trouble. I know it's not a great e-mail, but I'm kind of disconcerted because of the grade I got... could you help me correct my e-mail, please? does it have grammatical mistakes? Thank you! ---- Hi: I have to say I’m quite worried about the way you look. I mean, you look so thin and pale that I’m even beginning to think you‘re sick. It won’t take too long before you actually start feeling sick, and I’m sure it is all due to your unhealthy lifestyle. I know you just love to eat, but you should learn to eat healthy. You should eat more fruits and vegetables and less salt and sugar. Also, I don’t think it’s a good idea to spend all day sitting in front of a computer... that will just kill you! You should do more exercise... not that you have to go to the gym or something like that... walking will do. I hope you will take my advices into account. Love. Seb.

    Important inventions 1. For me, it’s the telephone and the spacecraft that have a greater importance because 1. Telephones have allowed us to communicate with each other no matter where we are 2. There will be a point where what the earth has to offer us won’t be enough for us to survive, so spacecrafts will be determinant in our future. Hello, can you correct me, please? Thank you!

    Facebook inflated views As I understand it, what Facebook was doing was give those who used social media to advertise their products an erroneous estimated of how many visits the videos were getting, which made it more interesting than other online video platforms, or even television, on the market for marketing purposes. They said there was a mistake with the way they were counting the views; in other words, they were counting those which were watched more than 3 seconds, and set the rest apart. Although they corrected their mistake, I mean, that’s the least they could have done, it’s evident that there is a need for third party observation so such statistics are more transparent. Hi, can you help me correct this text, please? Thank you in advance.

    Cameras Cameras are everywhere we go. They have become part of our daily lives, partly due to their being small, portable and easy to use: all you have to do to take a photo and share it with others is press a button. However, it was not that simple at the beginning. That’s why I decided to talk about the Polaroid Land model 220. Although it was not one of the first cameras invented, it was the first instant camera, which makes it an extremely important invention, one that changed our lives. It has nothing to do with today’s cameras; it was very large, bulky and heavy, and very slow to respond. When you pressed the shutter button, you had to wait for a while for it to completely process the image, so it was impossible to take several pictures in a row. It was not as intuitive as the cameras we use today. Also, it was difficult to carry, you just couldn’t take it with you when going to, say, a party. That would have been awkward and uncomfortable. It’s design was in accordance with that time standards, but it was not stylish. Hi, please correct my mistakes! thank you in advance.

    Passive voice In active voice, it’s the subject who performs the action expressed by the verb, usually on an object or a person; this object or person affected by that action is called the direct object. How is it reflected in the order of words in a sentence? In order to answer this question, I’ll use an example: I read the message -> the subject (“I” in this case) comes first, the verb comes second and the direct object, which is the receiver of the action performed by “I”, comes third. The point here is that the direct object (“the message”) comes after the verb. But what if we want to give more emphasis to the receiver of the action? For that, we use the passive voice. Again, I’ll use an example to illustrate that fact: The message was read by me. Here, the subject is “the message”, which was the direct object in the active voice example I gave before, and the doer of the action (“I”) takes the form of a prepositional phrase, which may or may be not expressed explicitly. Hi, can you correct me, please? thank you very much!

    Insurance No one is free from suffering a financial loss, not to mention an accident or something that puts one’s health at risk; these are things one can insure against: accidents, financial losses (by financial loss I mean anything that involves material things that for some reason suffered damages in any form; for instance, one can insure one’s car so that, in case of a collision with another car, or with a tree..., one doesn’t have to bear all costs; rather, insurance will pay a portion. Hi, thank you in advance for correcting me.

Às terças feiras Às terças feiras saio pra dar uma corridinha para manter a boa forma. Duas vezes por semana Eu jogo futebol com meus amigos duas vezes por semana. Desde já agradeço sua ajuda!

    Casa ou apartamento? Privacidade Para mim, a privacidade é absolutamente imprescindível; não gostaria que meu cachorro, por exemplo, incomodasse meus vizinhos com seus ladridos, e muito menos de ter que pedir permissão para ter um! Mais ou menos a mesma situação ocorre quando, por alguma razão, você quer escutar musica até tarde -possivelmente porque está celebrando uma festa, mas este não tem porque ser o único motivo-; o mais provável é que pelo menos uma das pessoas que moram perto de seu apartamento vai sentir-se incomodada, ou seja, você tem que estar constantemente pensando nas demais pessoas. Espaçõ Geralmente, os apartamentos são construídos de maneira tal que um terreno não muito grande seja aproveitado ao máximo. O que isso significa? 1. Poucos cômodos 2. Poucos banheiros 3. nenhum jardim ou quintal. E todo muito pequeno Segurança É certo que os apartamentos são mais seguros, pois, ao estar tão perto entre eles, é fácil que os vizinhos apercebam uma situação anómala. No entanto, isso não é garantía de que não vai acontecer nada fora do común. Jardim Eu gosto de ter jardim e de poder plantar árvores frutíferas e hortaliças. Os apartamentos geralmente não têm jardim, e se o têm, também deve ser compartilhado. Olá. Muito obrigado pelas correções!

    O paraíso! Oi, você pode me ajudar, por favor? Obrigado! Não há muitos lugares no mundo dos quais se poderia dizer que os rótulos “paraíso natural” e “santuário ecológico”, com tudo o que eles representam, são insuficientes para descrever sua magnificência e sua imponência, lugares cuja bejeza não se pode expressar com palavras. Fernando de Noronha, descoberto em 1503 e localizado na costa nordeste do Brasil, tem a sorte de ser umo deles; seu mar, tão azul como o céu que durante a maior parte do ano tem a clareza de uma janela através da qual é possível ver até o mais recôndito lugar do Universo, suas praias, o contraste entre o amarelo da areia e o verde das muitas árvores que, como por um capricho da natureza, se ergueram “no meio da nada”, e os pores do sol o tornam no lugar em que qualquer pessoa desejaria estar e onde seus sonhos literalmente se tornam realidade, um lugar em que o própio Poseidon muito certamente teria desejado passar seus dias. Neste belo arquipélago, formado por vinte um ilhas, ilhotas e rochedos, abunda a vida marinha; tartarugas, tubarões, golfinhos, peixes, coloridos recifes de corais... todos eles fazem parte do que bem poderia ser o paraíso na terra, um destino que todos os mergulhadores, e as pessoas interessadas na natureza, devem visitar. Por outra lado, o lugar tem uma história interessante, pois nele habitavam presos somente, ou seja, funcionava como presídio, uma das razões pela qual está tão bem preservada. Aqueles que ali habitam também estão verdadeiramente comprometidos com o cuidado da rica e variada flora e fauna que se pode encontrar ao longo da ilha. Visite Fernando, você não vai se arrepender!

    Kato Lomb's book I really didn’t feel like reading it because I thought it was going to be more of the same: false expectations, ideas (that are – should I use these two words, the relative pronoun and the verb “are”, for it to sound good?) hard to believe, and that kind of stuff this kind of books usually has, I don’t know if it’s because the author truly believes in them or because he or she just want to sell more. However, after reading (or having read?) it, I feel happy for having done so, it was an enriching reading, and an interesting as well (does that sound too bad? I think I read something like that in Tolkien’s The Hobbit) Thank you very much in advance for all your corrections. I’ll try to write something in English every day. The biggest challenge I see is running out of ideas... but I’ll try (:
