I am a college student from Brazil, and I'd like to say I'm fluent in reading, writing, and listening in English, but I don't have any practice in speaking with other people, so that is an area I'd hope to get some help with! I'd also be happy to help anyone interested in Portuguese in exchange or otherwise!

    Book club

    Recently I joined a book club. It was my first time to join joining one. I always carve craved discussing thoughts or feelings of I had for a book with others, especially in these last few months. Coincidentally, my friend just told me about this book club and she brought me there. So every month the organizer Anna will hold a meetup at this book club. The schedule runs like this: in the beginning, she will introduce the new member of the club and members will share their recent lives about themselves. After that, she plays an audio book for a short chapter and we read it at the same time. and We then share the experiences or discuss the our questions or doubts. , so you don't have to read it in a advance. You can just bring the book and attend participate in the event. It was quite relaxing. Last time there was a guy joining us. He was very polite. When he showed up he introduced himself and shaked shook hands with everyone. During the episode, he poured others tea several times. I was very impressive impressed. I feel like he is a very introspective and knowledgeable
    person. In short, I grasped many new perspectives in my mind. I am so grateful that my friend brought me there!!

    "The art of writing with excellence calls for patience, but on life the requirement is far greater: to internalize the wisdom effectively." Acredito que a tradução acima transmite o mesmo significado. Tive mais dificuldades em achar um termo que significasse a mesma coisa que "esmero" nesse contexto em inglês, porém acho que "excellence" se aproxima bastante.

    I feel like there is something wrong there because the phrase certainly doesn't seem correct or hold a different meaning like that. Instead of "was", it should be "were" as you said since "attempts" is plural, so I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you misheard it, or the movie itself was wrong, but anyways, I would advise you to double check it if possible.

    I think that what he means here is a decline with a constant downward trend, as in the deterioration of the economy leads to a sharper decline on the overall situation making it even harder to recover from, kind of like a vicious cycle, a spiral that is difficult to get off from.

    The text is mostly correct grammatically, there are only some things that I would fix: >This is because (no need for a comma here) high fees exclude a large proportion of the population, especially students and poor people. >For instance, a (replace "the" here, since you are trying to refer to a non-specific thing) survey carried out by many universities in developing nations has shown that students are reluctant to pay for the public places in their field trips (replace "visits" here, since the common term would be "field trips") and they often look for the museums that are (replaced the "in" here, since it didn't make sense with what you were trying to convey) free of charge.

    Would you mind correcting my essay? If you were me, how would
    you go about writing it?
    Which part should I describe in detail? I hope my explanations are clear. I hope you can understand them.

    (Part Two)

    After eating a bowl of vegetable noodles, I wanted to have either some beverages or sweets. I explored from the city hall to <strike>around</strike> <strike>nearby</strike> the nearby
    areas. <strike>Coincidently</strike> Coincidentally (the meaning you were looking for here is the one for a coincidence, coincidently means it happens at the same time), I found <strike>a</strike> some kind<strike>s</strike> of food festival on the street (the right term here would be some instead of a since you are trying to say you don't know the type of festival it is. And also, kind in this situation is supposed to be singular and not plural). There were about twenty shops on <strike>the</strike> both sides of the street.

    Several shops sold soft ice cream<strike>s</strike> which made <strike>by</strike> with (Right word here is with, since by would mean the milk itself made the ice cream) high quality milk<strike>s</strike> and was well-known for other milk products.(Such as milk<strike>s</strike>, yogurt<strike>s</strike> and cheese<strike>s</strike>) (In this context those nouns should all be singular and not plural)

    I chose a shop which had a queue. It looked <strike>like</strike> so yummy and it cost about three U.S dollars. First of all, I had one bite <strike>on</strike> (on means on top of something, wrong word hete) of it really carefully, and it was amazing and lead <strike>to</strike> me to <strike>a</strike> heaven (I fixed some weird phrasing here, even though it wasn't incorrect but it felt like you were trying to say something else). I highly recommend that you try Hokkaido soft ice creams.

    (If you have any questions on my corrections or why some parts were wrong, feel free to message me or reply so that I may explain more clearly)
