    Ok so here it's given that he'll talk if I were to torture his (innocent) wife.

    With that in mind, I would try to work something out with the wife. I would explain the lives at risk, promise (even if it's a lie) that he'll get a lighter sentence if she does what I tell her, and do whatever I need to do in order to convince her to play along and act like she was being horribly tortured.


    If she agrees, that's good. We do our act, he takes the bait, everybody wins (assuming everything went smoothly). However, I will not torture innocent people. If for some reason that didn't work, I'd refuse to torture her; it's up to someone else now.


    If she doesn't agree to act, she is no longer innocent (at least that's what I think). The idea of torturing someone, even if guilty, is pretty troubling for me. But with hundreds of lives at risk, and with no other choice, I would probably end up doing it.

    I'm not exactly sure of what you're trying to say, so please correct me if I'm wrong.


    I love Rio de Janeiro    <---(or did you mean "I live in Rio de Janeiro," or something else?)

    I live in Campos dos Goytacazes, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. But I'm not from Campos, I am from São Gonçalo, a city next to Niterói.

    I'll be back in Sao Gonçalo (later) this year.  


    For the last sentence, it is I will instead of "I am" because it needs to be in future tense, since you still live in Campos. Later is optional, but it does sound better with it.

    Technology

    We are living in an age of technology which I have been part of growing up. Even though it is something I don't like, I'm very attached to it.
    Obviously it has had a lot of benefits, like being able to be interconnected with other people and having the opportunity to learn a lot, but in a certain way It has taken our lives. Most of the people, myself included, can't spend a day without looking at our cellphones in order to see facebook or other social media and it worries me because I'm totally dependent on it. I wish there were something to stop  us from constantly checking up the news on these platforms and let us live our lives, but I think it's only a matter of will.

    Native species, for which trading (is) allowed, were also represented by large numbers. It's "is" instead of "are" because it applies to (trading), which is singular, and not to (Native species), which is plural. That way it reads alone as "trading is allowed," not "trading are allowed."
