Olá Anna,

Desenhos animados

Desde quando que cheguei aqui está difícil a fazer conversa/conversar. As meninas da escola não gostam de conversar comigo. Estou aprendendo/a aprender Português por desenhos em dublagem brasileiro. Eu assisto muito/um monte de Woody Woodpecker, Steven Universe, Adventure Time e Spongebob.

Espero que ajude. :)

I would have said the same as Daryl but since reading what he wrote, i would say there could be a difference (also coming from a gut feeling place): 1)"I took him for your brother." = I know you have a brother and i thought that was him. (although i guess you would use the word 'mistook' if that is what you meant) [however, :D 'mistook' may imply that you should have known better, as in you know what his brother looks like but made a mistake; as opposed to simply knowing of his brother but never have met him]. 2)"I took him to be your brother"= "I thought he was your brother" <= same as Daryl However now that i compare it to Daryl's i think he made the same point except in a much simpler way! :D :D PJ

G'day Ho Thi Nga, :)

a report about the effects of a new shopping center on my city ( my (writting)writing for test)

The purpose of this report is to show the advantages and disadvantages of the new shopping centre to the environment and our community.
First of all, there are many trees that were planted around the center, therefore, it brings the city a green and fresh air. What's more, there are many interesting slogans and activities that encourage/encouraging people, particularly children, to protect our environment.
However, the parking of the center/the centre's parking is quite small so there are many cars (are) parked/that are parked on the street. The best solution would be to there is a place for car parking. In addition, the closing time is too late and (it) the centre makes noise at night. I would recommend that it should be closed earlier.
In summing up/to sum up/in summary, i would say that the center brings many advantages to our city, however, it would be a better place if those issues can/could be solved.

Hope that helps! :)

Hi Gavin, :)

The Correction of "Just Some Recent Feelings"

It has been about two weeks since I moved to my new college. When I stepped into the campus, I was attracted (by)to it's beauty. Both sides of the campus's roads are (linked)lined with plane trees. However, they haven't come into leaves yet. I really like the plane trees because they always make me think of romantic love stories. The recent weather has been perfectly nice. The bright sunshine, the blue sky and the clean air (has)have made people happy and relaxed. To the west of the campus, there is a hill which is not very high and is full of green trees. At the top of the hill, you (can) have/ you can see a whole view of the campus. Many people go climbing or go camping on this hill for (a) leisure (time)/a leisurely time (at) every weekend. Interestingly, the campus is home to many squirrels. You will/can [you used a different tense here than in the rest of the story] see them everywhere and you can also feed them with leftover corn, fruit or bread. Although they are afraid of you, they still pick up/take the food and run quickly to a distant place to eat. That behavior is really funny and lovely. I like my new campus very much. People here are kind and are happy to help others. Although I am a fresh man, I don't feel lonely and (be) isolated. By the way, the food here (fits)suits me very well. Everything has been very nice. I hope I will have a wonderful time learning here for the next five years.

The "fits/suits me" instance is more a collocation than a strict grammar correction. Meaning, that technically it is wrong to say "the food here fits me very well" because we are not used to seeing the verb "to fit" in that sense. If you were to say it, from the context of the situation, most people would still be able to understand you. :)

Hope that helps Gavin.
