    Just another hobby

    I've always been interested in languages while in school.
    For me it was a challenge to discover how a word could change from <s>a</s> one country to another <s>one</s>.
    Now after travelling for one year abroad, I want to know more languages to be able to speak with locals, see how they live and not just be the usual tourist taking pictures of places.

    Hi, Valou, Good writing. Some confusion about the meaning of your first sentence: "I've always been interested in languages while in school." The use of "always" and "while in school" are causing the confusion.

    Instead, you could say, for example:

    "I've always been interested in languages."

    "I've been interested in languages since I began to study them in high school." (or university, or whenever you began).

    ("Have been" for an action that started in the past and continues today.)

    ("since" + past tense (began) + inf (to study) + them (pronoun direct object) instead of "while")

    Best of luck! At least this virus is giving us time to learn more languages before travelling again.

We decorate the street and houses with little colorful flags, We <s>celebration</s> celebrate with typical food like corn cake, orange, aipim cake, liquor of jenipapo and music called forró. This type of music is like country music. We put on colorful clothes and dance together. There are many presentations <s>the group</s> of group dances called quadrilha de forró and concerts of forró bands. <s>In the</s> On June 23rd we turned on the firepit, we roasted the corn and we <s>ligth</s> lit <s>up</s> <s>the</s> fireworks. it's <s>so</s> a very special date for us.

    It sounds like a wonderful celebration, Tamires! I hope you get to celebrate next year.

    Are richest countries stealing high-skilled workforce from poorest?

    The last few decades have been characterized by an increasing migration of high-skilled workers from less developed countries to the healthier ones. According to many, this migration can be interpreted as a robbery of the <s>formers</s> former <s>towards</s> by the <s>latters</s> latter. Other observers, instead, state the contrary, reducing this phenomenon to a normal event of migration. I share the first vision, however the matter is not as simple as could appear and there are many elements that need to be evaluated.

    Certainly, it should be considered that current asset of the world is originated by some precise historical events. In almost all cases, countries which today live in? a complex economic and social situation sometimes have been signed by a dramatic story of colonialism. The effects of <s>this </s> these events are perpetuating today as well and, under this point of view, too little has been made from states responsible <s>of</s> for it. In this sense, new migrations are an indirect way to prosecute a kind of dominion. Being that some people are unable to gain high salaries and to live free, the only possible solution is moving to richer places.

    Nevertheless, there is more. It should not be forgotten that mankind <s>migrate</s> has migrated since the dawn of time. People decide to move to another country for a great number of reasons and this is obviously true for <s>poorest</s> poorer countries as well. Human behaviour is often guided by feelings and, in particular in the contemporary global village, the desire to <s>of</s> travel<s>ling</s> and to know<s>ing</s> new cultures is increasing and spreading.

    To conclude, hence, probably claiming that richest countries are stealing workforce from poorest could be considered as a reasonable statement. However, this migration should not be interpreted only under this point of view. There are also additional reasons, important all the same, which influence such choices.

    Well-being at work

    When someone <s>have</s> has a new manager and adapts to him and him to them, the team can <s>benefice</s> benefit from the qualities of the former manager and the new one.

    I'm working in a temporary and outsourced job and it's not easy for me to ask for help and <s>informations</s> information. I fear <s>to</s> I will be fired for <s>all and</s> everything. I don't want to show my gaps.

    Using "to be" (the infinitive) is a little awkward here. Using the future tense here works better.
    "all and" is not really wrong, just awkward. "Everything" is sufficient.
    "gaps" is ok, but "weaknesses" might be a better word to use here. In a work setting, we usually talk about "weaknesses" and "strengths".

    Keep up the good work!
