Soy brasileña y mi novio es de Madrid. Tenemos muchos amigos de España y los entiendo bien, pero necesito practicar las conjugaciones correctas y tener confianza para hablar con ellos en español. Me encantaría ayudarte con tú portugués (escrito o hablado) o inglés (conversación). Además, soy desarrolladora de software, me encanta viajar, leer y ver series :-)

    Personal statement and future plans

    Ever since I was a child, I have had a great passion in for computer science.
    Seeing how technology changes the world everyday, I dream* of becoming a professional computer scientist in order to invent new technology and bring innovation to life.
    Now, as an Information Technology senior in University of Science, I am on my way to make my dream come true. With hard work and enthusiasm, I will graduate with a Bachelor Degree in Software Engineering next year. Then, I will get an academic English certificate and apply for a Master's scholarship to study abroad in Singapore or America., Bbecause I think these developed countries are the best place for me to not only increase my specialist knowledge, but also to open up new horizons for my creation. After finishing my studying studies, I want to challenge myself to work in a big technology company, so I can dedicate my life to create creating innovative products that light up the future, and to make the world a better place!
    Furthermore, in a far future, I have the ambition to run a project to build an Institute of Technology to educate passionate students like me. This project would not only give students a suitable environment for researching, but also give them financial incentives and inspire them to become great engineers or prominent scientists.

    Hi Blue,

    I'm not a native English speaker, but I hope this will help in some way! I'm also a computer scientist and I did a one-year exchange in the U.S. during my bachelor's. It was a great experience. Good luck with your applications!

    ----------

    Notes:

    * I highlighted "I dream" because even though it's not wrong, I think it makes sense to say "I dreamed [then] of becoming (...). Now (...) I am on my way to make my dream come true."

    * Starting sentences with "Because" only works if there is a subordinate clause. Example: http://writing.msu.edu/starting-a-sentence-with-because/

    Good evening. Today, it was raining hard. But,  i  I went to an AFURICAN AFRICAN SAFARI with my friend. It's the famous zoo in jJapan. We're touching each other with We have touched many kinds of animals. There They are verry very cute. We had so such much fun. It made us feel the rain.

    ------------

    Hi! I'm not a native English speaker, but I hope this helps!

    (And it sounds like your day was a lot of fun!)

    ------------

    Notes:

    * No comma (,) after "but"

    * The pronoun "I" is always capitalized

    * Use articles before nouns ("an African safari")

    * Capitalize country names ("Japan")

    * I assume you wanted to say you touched the animals. "We touched each other" would mean you touched your friend, and she touched you.

    Convertiendome en una persona saludable Yo no hago mucho ejercicio desde mis catorce años, cuando empecé el colegio técnico. Ahora que me mudé, decidí ser una persona más saludable (o intentarlo). La semana pasada empecé a ir al gimnasio con una amiga catalana. No hemos hablado español porque a mi ya me cuesta el ejercicio, ¡imagínate poner español en el medio! Aunque ya pueda entender español hasta en cenas de grupo, con mucha gente hablando junta, todavía es difícil entender sin mirar el rostro de la persona, o cuando no estoy totalmente concentrada. ¡Ojalá hasta el fin de este año yo pueda hacer las dos cosas al mismo tiempo! De todas formas, estoy muy contenta de haber empezado. Cuando yo era niña, solía nadar dos veces por semana, y me gustaba mucho. ¡Ahora lo intenté -- pero mi respiración me falló después de cuatro largos! Tendré que empezar muy despacio, a ver si puedo utilizar la piscina más pequeña. Mientras veo lo que hago con la natación, con mi "compañera de gimnasio" (gym buddy), hemos empezado con veinticinco minutos en la cinta de correr, y diez en la máquina de remo. Suena muy poco, pero para nosotras ya es suficiente para pedir descanso! También estamos mirando las clases de grupo, como yoga, pilates, bootcamp, y abs, pero tenemos que estar seguras de que vamos a aprovechar para hacer esta inversión (investment). Espero continuar yendo al gimnasio por lo menos tres veces a cada semana, a ver lo que pasa dentro del próximo mes!

    Na verdade foi o português de Portugal que evoluiu, enquanto o português do Brasil manteve o gerundismo da versão mais antiga da língua. Este trabalho científico fala sobre isso: http://www.gel.org.br/estudoslinguisticos/edicoesanteriores/4publica-estudos-2006/sistema06/356.pdf Conversando com amigos galegos, me parece que a pronúncia do galego se assemelha mais ao português brasileiro do que a pronúncia da maioria das regiões de Portugal. Me disseram que uma possível razão é que enquanto o galego foi proibido por séculos, e o português do Brasil ficou estagnado, o português de Portugal continuou a se desenvolver, e por isso se afastou mais dos outros países de língua portuguesa. (Mas para isso ainda não tenho fonte! haha)
