Small talk
Small talk means informal conversation that makes us avoid an embarrassing or silent moment. Such as, we can make small talk when we first met someone, it is a great way to break the ice. Small talk can help us extend our conversation in the beginning. I think it is a good way for strangers to be familiar with each other.
Thanks for reading.Good job!
0 votedJanuary 24, 20191- How to master a languageCurrently, I have been studying French everyday. Since it's similar to my native language, Portuguese, I don't face too much trouble when I have to read something written in french. The problem begins with pronunciation, I often feel like I don't pronounce any word in the right way. Sure, I know fluency only comes with practice, but it doesn't seem so impossible to speak in Spanish or English. It isn't clear for me if one day I'll master a language atto the point of being able to communicate with someone like I do in Portuguese. For whilenow, I'm trying to increase my vocabulary, therefore I started to read a french book yesterday. It's called "The Stranger", written by Albert Camus. I have to pause the reading all the time, when I don't understand a sentence, but I'm hoping to read it fast, considering it's a short story.Thanks for helping me*Good job, one small thing though, remember that in English proper nouns, names of languages, nationalities, etc are always capitalized.0 votedJanuary 24, 20191
Meet Iguazu Falls - Brazil
Have you heard about Iguazu Falls (Foz do Iguaçu ) in Brazil?
I've had the opportunity to live there for 7 years and I still haven't seen it all.
The city has some activities for families and singles and I would like to show you a little bit about this amazing place.
- National Park: The wonderful falls are shared between two cities: Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) and Puerto Iguazu (Argentina). I went there many times and each time was unique: nature and animals there are incredible and in my opinion, it is the most beautiful place you can visit in Brazil. The park has activities like tree climbing, boat trips, hiking and also has good stores that sell all kinds of souvenirs. I went on a boat trip near the falls and it was awesome. I really recommend spending one day to visit the park.
- The Itaipu Dam: it is a big hydroelectric dam located on the Parana River. "The Itaipu Dam's hydroelectric power plant produced the most energy of any in the world as of 2016. In 1994, the American Society of Civil Engineers elected the Itaipu Dam as one of the seven modern Wonders of the World". You can schedule a visit to see how the Itaipu Dam was built and find more information. It is a really big structure that is worth a visit.
- The Dreamland Wax Museum: it is like Madame Tussauds, but small. A highlight is the Valley of Dinosaurs which is very interesting and funny for children.
- Argentina: Why I talking about Argentina? Because it is near and you can go there and enjoy the city and its casinos. You can also buy good things at Duty-Free Puerto Iguazu and eat the traditional Empanadas Argentinas at a free fair near the border.
Iguazu Falls is a beautiful city that you will not regret visiting.
There are many other things to see there, but I will show them in the future.
And you, my friend, do you know Iguazu Falls? What do you think about it? Would you like to visit it?
