Hi! I am very nervous because this is the first time that I have written for other people. I don't know if I wrote it well... I am waiting to help other people.

Strike

I didn't work last week in the hospital because my town was paralyzed.

Children didn't go to school.

The milk and vegetables were expensive.

People were in the street breaking windows and stealing things.

Farmers demanded that the government find solutions.

Meanwhile we will continue to pray and will not give up hope that the situation will get better,

because the problems have come from the past

and the solutions haven't been effective.

Thanks to Italki's community for the corrections.

Myself

My name is Meggie Louise. I'm from Campo Grande, Rio de Janeiro. I was born February 15, 1995. When I was only six years old, my parents got divorced. I left my father's house with my mother and my little sister, Isabela. We lived for seven years at my grandma's house, then we moved to São Paulo for personal reasons. I still live in Sao Paolo, although at the begining it was a great challenge. Now, I don't look like a stranger anymore (laughing). Actually, I'm doing college of executive secretary. I have a boyfriend and we're planning our engagement for when we finish the college. Our history is so pretty... I'm anxious to get married with him... I am a very happy woman, and I'm always ready to learn with who's around me and to make friendships. I think that's all- this is me.

My family

I have a happy family.There are three people in my family- my father,my mother, and myself. Every member in my family works for his or her trade. My father is a captain of a sea-going merchant ship. He has seen many countries around the world. Once pirates attacked his ship and he was injured. My parents did not tell me immediately because I had to take college entrance examination. He worked inside the China after I graduated from my university. My mother was a teacher. She taught Chinese in the senior middlde school. Now she is retired. She spends her time doing what she likes. I am an engineer. I got good grades in school. I spent lots of time travelling when I was a student. Now I only want to stay at home after work. Sometimes I go out with my friends. I love my parents and they love me, too.They do not force me to do what I do not like to do. They are like my friends. We can discuss anything. I feel lucky...please point out the mistakes. Thank you!
