Hi, Chelsea.
You´right. In this case, I´m gonna try to find some books on Amazon that are easy to read and buy it. Initially, I wanted to try free graded contemporary e-books to see if I could read it easily. Sometimes, by the resume of the story, at the beginning, it seems easy to understand. Though, right after, I find out that it´s not that easy or the story is not what I expect indeed. It didn´t come in my mind the copyright aspect. Actually, I haven´t met anybody with a library card but no problem. Thank you for your tips! It really helped me. =)
0 votedSeptember 3, 20170- Free books for Upper Intermediate Level students
Hi there.
I´ve had too much difficulty in finding websites that recommend free British novels or stories books for upper intermediate level learners. Most of the websites I have found is not about contemporary stories. It is books of authors like Charles Dickens, Jane Austin etc. Those ones are written in 1800 century.
If you know some website with contemporary book stories, please, let your recommendations in this discussion. It can be science fictions, non-science fictions, adventures, dramas. We can exchange some information and this might be a nice experience for learning English and enjoying the reading books. If you´ve had some book and you would like to share it, that´ll be a pleasure.
I'll really appreciate that!
Thanks a lot.
September 2, 201790 - Now and then X Once in awhile Hi there. Could somebody, please, explain if there´s any difference between 'now and then' and once in awhile'? Can I use both to meaning the same idea? Ps: If I typed grammatically anything wrong, please, let me know by correcting. Thanks a lot. I.e: 1 - At the same time, it's important to recycle your vocabulary once in awhile. 2 - Find an item or two in your house which is the center of your attention every now and then.September 2, 201710
Feriados no Reino Unido
Hoje é feriado no Reino Unido, e, como sempre, todo mundo quer aproveitar este dia de folga para visitar amigos, passear pelas montanhas, fazer compras ou qualquer coisa que gostem.
Em qualquer caso, o trânsito é um pesadelo quando há feriado aqui. Em geral, meu país é bastante caótico nas estradas. Para mim, um domingo aqui parece um dia de semana em outro país, por exemplo, a Espanha. É porque temos tantas pessoas numa área bastante (it sounds better to write "bem") pequena, e isto faz com que (it sounds better too) sempre haja problemas com o trânsito. No entanto, é ainda pior durante os feriados. Para tornar a situação ainda mais complicada, há muitas obras nas linhas de trem entre cidades. - este faz Isto faz com que há haja mais pessoas iendo indo de por carro, porque em vez de trens, há autocarros (autocarros it´s for Portugal. In Brazil it´s said "carros") que demoram muito mais tempo. Além disso, há mais acidentes de automóveis durante feriados, porque, infelizmente, há mais pessoas que conduzem bêbadas bêbado. Embora seja possível pode se acostumar ao estilo de vida aqui, é ainda muito chato.(Excelente, Jack!)

Anyway, even in Brazil that´s not polite. About men I usually get rid of them as soon as they ask my age. Besides Brazil, I also have been contacted by foreigners who I´m sure are not interested in exchanging languages. Those men I block immediately. Women mustn´t accept any kind of unpleasant situation.0 votedAugust 27, 20170
