O trânsito nas cidades grandes do Brasil (Carta de prática para prova oficial de português B2)

São Paulo, 7 de setembro de 2017
Prezado Senhor Denis Russo Burgierman,
Meu nome é Laura González e li seu artigo publicado na revista "Veja". Escrevo esta carta para o senhor para explicar minha opinião sobre o assunto do trânsito em cidades grandes como São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro.
Do meu ponto de vista, é preciso que os brasileiros sejam educados sobre as regras de trânsito porque não as respeitam. Neste sentido, concordo plenamente com o senhor. As pessoas devem aprender como dirigir corretamente e respeitar as faixas de pedestres. Do mesmo modo, os pedestres também têm que compreender que não podem atravessar a rua onde quiserem (esta é, de fato, uma das razões mais importantes comuns de muitos acidentes de trânsito). Esta formação deve começar desde a escola, para que as regras de trânsito já façam parte, pouco a pouco, da mentalidade dos brasileiros.
Por outro lado, acho que o governo brasileiro deveria incentivar o uso do transporte público e também melhorá-lo. Por exemplo, uma maneira de fomentar a utilização do transporte público seria o lançamento de campanhas publicitárias na televisão, no rádio e na imprensa. Assim, o público cidadão brasileiro seria se tornaria mais consciente da relevância do tema.
Em resumo, concordo com o senhor e as suas opiniões. Espero que no futuro, a situação mude e os brasileiros sejam mais conscientes da importância deste assunto. Tenho certeza que assim que eles começarem a respeitar mais as regras de trânsito, a situação ficará muito melhor.
Atenciosamente,
Laura González

The best you can do when you feel stuck is trying to have hands on experience with the language. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to go abroad and develop my English to another level right at the moment when I was starting to think that I was getting stuck. Speaking skills can be the most difficult thing and the reason for most of the feeling because you feel comfortable in everything else, but not in speaking and that's when you have to look for ways to improve your speaking skills. Going to the United States or other English speaking countries would be the option, but if you have friends that speak English you can also practice with them or language partners here. The hard thing about talking with friends is that you don't have to speak in English and you ended up speaking in your native language, it is required a lot of discipline from all the people involved. When you are in an English speaking country you HAVE to speak, you have no other choice, so you develop your skill in every front much faster. 

Peach

I ate a peach, which my family bought at a supermarket, the other day. It was very tough like persimmon. The taste was not good, either. Probably the peach was not ripe enough to eat yet.
Farmers seem to ship the fruits before the fruits become ripe completely so as not to become too ripe when the time they are in the supermarket. My family seems to happen to buy a bad one, unfortunately.
I ate an another peach for my today's breakfast though, it was so good.

Good text! Corrected only a few things I noticed. 

I hope it helps!

I would change the phrase in English a little to sounds more natural in Portuguese, like this: "Muito obrigada por ter criado o homem dos meus sonhos. Estou muito feliz por me tornar parte desta família." I hope it helps! Feel free to ask any doubts. :)

Do you mean phrasal verbs, for example, "back down", "blow up", etc.? They are a difficult component of the English language because their meaning are not obvious by looking at the words separately. I also had some difficulty in understanding their meanings, it is something that you have to learn through your studies, in my opinion. Generally, good dictionaries online have a section where they describe the definition of the phrasal verbs related to that verb, for example, the definition for "back down" will be in the "back" word definition page. Take your time with phrasal verbs and good luck! :)
