Vinte e cinco de junho, dois mil e dezoito
Hoje, eu assisti o último capítulo da série Westworld na/pela HBO. É um programa muito interessante, com temas filosóficos sobre inteligência artificial e a natureza da realidade. Isso me faz pensar muito sobre minha vida e quais são meus objetivos a longo prazo. Aprendendo outras línguas me faz pensar em/de outras formas e me dá perspectiva de mundo.Comentários/Comments:
Olá Oscar, primeiramente, meus parabéns pelo excelente português. De forma geral, está muito bom, apenas alguns erros minúsculos que não alteram em nada a sua redação, porém como nativo falante da língua portuguesa, decidi pontuar para você esses pequenos errinhos, de forma que você possa tentar melhorar seu português, mas não se preocupe, são erros muito simples.
Eu ensino inglês e português, portanto possuo um conhecimento grande dentro das duas línguas que me permite ver as semelhanças e diferenças, e ver o que pode ser difícil ou fácil para um falante nativo da língua inglesa aprendendo português e vice-versa.
1. Eu sei que pode ser muito difícil entender os artigos e preposições em português, já que nossos adjetivos e verbos possuem gênero (ex.: Linda/Lindo) enquanto no inglês não há. Vi alguns erros de artigo e preposição baseado no gênero da palavra. Portanto, seria interessante se você pudesse dar uma atenção maior a isso (Dica: Assista filmes ou séries em português com legenda em português para acompanhar essas normas), mas como disse, isso não é um grande problema.
2. A acentuação, que também não é existente no inglês, pode ser muito complicada. Uma dica com relação as palavras acentuadas em acento agudo, é que a maioria delas seguem as regras das silabas tônicas (oxítonas, paroxítonas e proparoxítonas), que você pode diferenciar pela sílaba mais forte do som da palavra (word stress), confira esse link aqui para poder entender um pouco mais das silabas tônicas: https://www.normaculta.com.br/silaba-tonica-oxitona-paroxitona-e-proparoxitona/
Boa Sorte!
Qualquer dúvida, não hesite em mandar uma mensagem!! :)

Hello, everyone.
Today I would like to tell you about the past three days, during which I have been working at our local museum of visual arts. This year's World Cup is held here in Russia, and the English proficiency of the local people is quite low, to be honest (You could switch words' order here "And to be honest, the English ...") . Most people coming from abroad tell us that it is very inconvenient that they cannot communicate with anyone here. My friend and I were among the people who volunteered to work as translators for non-Russian visitors. It is a great opportunity to talk to a lot of interesting people. Speaking about our job itself, it originally was to greet people who do not speak Russian, guide them through the rooms, and translate things for them if they ask questions; but then we started doing simple tours so that they can get at least something about the exhibitions and their showpieces. So far, we have met people from Denmark, Australia, Uruguay, Israel, and a lot of other countries! All of them were really friendly and most of them were pretty/very interested in the paintings, most of them. The most popular exhibition of the museum turned out to be, unsurprisingly, Russian Art. Though some visitors were not interested in it at all and preferred to see something fresh and modern, such as Illustration by Local Artists and things like that.
I will cut it at this point so it is not too long. Thank you for reading if you made it here, and please leave a comment about this piece.
Have a nice day!General Comments:
Hello Constantine,
I'm a English and Portuguese teacher, so I read your essay and I'll point some issues and give you some tips about what you could improve.
First, congratulations on your writing skills, it's very advanced. Great use of vocabulary too!
In general, no big problems, just some sentence structure issues.
1. Check your sentence structure understanding using adverbs;
2. Great use of adjective clauses, perhaps you should revise it.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to message me.
My best regards to you.

Hello people!How are you? I hope that very good.
Today I did a lot of things...
I left my two daughters on school and went to a meeting with my customer.
There were many people at this meeting, It was very long and tiring.
There was an American man there, I tried to talk with him, it was very cool, but English yet is a little not understandable to me. (This last sentence, doesn't express well what you're trying to say, though it is correct, try to simplify it)
However I see an improvement of my English.
Next week, I'll be in Orlando, USA, and I want to talk with a lot of Americans in my trip. This will improve my English and end with my shyness of speaking.
I got a lot of tickets to visit the parks at Disney World and Universal. I hope this trip will be amazing and unforgettable to me and my family!!
Please correct my mystakes and have all a great day!!
(In general, congratulations on your English, no big problems at all, just tiny problems that can be easily solved.
1. Once you start a sentence in basic past form, Simple Past (left, ate, drank, spoke, did, went, cooked, made) don't forget to continue the following verbs in past tense as well, unless you're using a mixed condition or any other meaning that could refer to a different tense. Ex.: I ate too much last night, and because of that, I had a terrible stomachache.
2. Check your articles understanding (the, a, an), and prepositions (for, on, in, at, to, from, to)
3. Some (not to worry about) spelling mistakes.
4. Sometimes, It is good if we simplify our sentences in a way to be easily understood.
But in general, GOOD WORK!
