I'm new here!
Hello everyone, nice to meet you! I'm David, a brazilian student in love with language learning. I'm addicted to learn a new language, it's a amazing feeling when I now something new in this new language. Yesterday I was surfing on Reddit I accidently found this website, and thanks God for this! I have been studying English (formally I mean) for about two years, all my knowledge was accquire by immersion on the language. I'm kind of good at reading and speaking, but my writing and listening is awful, and be able to write anything and be corrected by natives for free is just wonderful for me. I really hope that I can make some progress on my writing skills (including grammar, my nightmare haha). Thank you for reading this!

Book - A Shot in the Dark - 54
Part num. 54.
This summary was deliberately written in the present tense (analyse it as if it’s unfolding as you read it).
After getting off the ghost train attraction, Inspector Steine makes his way back* the pier. Steine is still dazed, barely aware of the surroundings, when someone calls out to him, “Are you all right?” It was Mrs Groynes, the station charlady. For a moment, he doesn’t seem to recognise her, a blank expression on his face. He’s not used to her in everyday clothes, thus it takes him a while. After he acknowledges her, she explains that she’s been sent out for Mr Jupiter. Hearing of Mr Jupiter makes Steine's mind come back to the incident. Hazy yet ghastly details of it flood him with guilt. Steine ponders how to word his answer. Just as he starts explaining, he is cut off by shrieks of terror coming from the shore below the pier. The two of them hurry over to the rail and lean over. A man’s body is floating in the water. Steine is both appalled and bewildered. Taking in the whole scene and being quick-witted, Mrs Groynes enquires Steine about the man. She starts to suspect that Steine pushed* the man off the pier. Being a person not afraid to speak its mind, she bluntly voices her concern. However, Steine doesn’t acknowledge anything.
*The attraction was at the end of the pier. I just meant that he started walking back the pier, not that he walked the whole lentgh of it. Is the sentence right?
**”has pushed” - “pushed” - “could/may/might have”?

読書感想－文豪ストレイドッグス 探偵社設立秘書
最近たくさんの小説とラノベをハマってます。そのおかげで日本語をますます上達されていました！！
今日、好きな「文豪ストレイドッグス」第⒊弾の感想を書きたいと思います！
≪ネタバレ注意≫
一つ目の話は面白くてかわいいでした。探偵社の会議でいろいろ好きな人物集まって、武装探偵社の日常の話でした。太宰さんいつもの通り国木田さんをいじめて、くじを引いてるときズルいな感じでした。
太宰さん、国木田さん、谷崎くん喫茶店で探偵社の設立のこと話し合って、福沢ささんのこと“怖い”って言ってた後、二つ目の話に福沢さんの過去のことを読んで、気に入った
二つ目の話すごい！！乱歩さんの活発かわいいすぎる、、
福沢さんと乱歩さんの生い立ち、一人っきりだった二人が出会って、そして福沢さんになついてる乱歩さん。。二人の父子ような関係性、、ホントにかわいい
織田の出るときびっくりした、この巻に出ること思わなかった。でもいいね、、ホントに
「太宰の黒時代」の読んだ後これを読んで、、苦しいねｗｗｗ
劇場の殺人事件面白かった！！ホントに楽しかった
舞台上で推理をしてすごかった
読みやすさとして、最初にすこし難しかったけど最後の部分一気に読みました！！
V という組織？？人？？のことよくわからなかったから読み直したい
全体として、ほんとに面白かった！！朝霧先生の作品全部大好き

Sports & me - Article B2
Are you a sporty person?
Three years ago I proposed myself, as a New Year's resolution, practice sport every day of the year.
I've been always a quite active guy but that first year was a massive change. I created a Google spreadsheet to write down my progress and that first year I work out around 90% of the days in the year.
I got the idea of register all my exercise days from an article about achieve good habits in your life. It claimed that it's though for the brain to "cut chains", so when you start to accumulate in the diary several days in a row exercised the brain resist to break the streak and it helps to create the habit.
As far as I concerned, after three years I can undoubtedly say ¡it works!. And you? Any trick to improve your health?

11 mars 2022 - le développement psychologique des enfants
Quel(s) est/sont les effets des relations sociales sur le développement psychologique des enfants?
La relation sociale fait un rôle très important dans le développement de fonctions cognitives et affectives des enfants. Par exemple, quand un enfant engage une relation privilégiée avec un autre, il doit communiquer avec l'autre et essayer de comprendre ce que l'autre pense, et son compétence de communication va donc s'améliorer. En outre, ils peuvent observer le comportement des autres et l'imiter. En plus, les amis vont calment les enfants quand on les mets dans une cardre inconnu parce que c'est plus facile de s'adapter à de nouveau environment avec des persons qu'on a déjà connues.
Quant à l'effet de groupe sociale, il va aider les enfants à se réaliser leurs propres forces et faiblesses parce que dans un groupe, chacun a son rôle à jouer et selon le contexte de taches donnant par l'instrutor, les rôles vont changer. De plus, les enfants apprendent à se familiser les régles en vie de société telles que respecter les autres quand ils parlent, exprimer des émotions positives etc.
En gros, c'est essentiel d'engager les enfants à devélopper des relations sociales qui ont de grands impacts pour le futur des enfants.

Corona virus at home
There are eight members in my house, so I am always worried that we have more chance to expose the COVID-19.
Today my second son didn't pass the self-verification kit of the virus.
He has a high fever now, and he says that he has a sore throat.
My wife stays with him, and all other members wear their masks even in our house.
Other sons are going to sleep in the different rooms for preventing the virus.
I hope there is no more infected person.

IELTS T2 (4)
Topic：
Some people think that in the modern world we are more dependent on each other, while others think that people have become more independent.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
My answer:
It is argued that people become more rely on each other nowadays. There are various aspects show different views, and in my opinon, I think that citizens rely on themselves more than others.
Here are the reasons why people think we need more company. People prefer to use social media more than ever before, no matter they are children or old people, because they need interation from the other person. For example, when you walk in any streets in a city, you can see many people hoding a smartphone and wathing short videos from different APP. Furthermore, many people indulge in the Internet and frequently share their emotion or special moments in the social media, and they would keep their eyes in the screen whenever they are free. Because they hope somebody will respond inmediately.
However, people become independent. On one hand, increasing people especially the young who prefer to live alone rather than with their families. The main reason is that they have enough money for they working hard. With a good salary, they can also take part in numerous acctivities they favor. On the other hand, life in cites is more convenient because of the technology. There are so many domestic machines can help with the housework, so that citizens do not need do many housework by their families.
In conclusion, there are different views of whether people are more indepent through many aspects. I think that people are more rely on themselves because of the development of technology.

Meinung #3 : Post wurde korrigiert!
Ich finde es auch wie Alex total cool und abenteuerlich und genau wie Alexs Eltern, denken meine Eltern auch, dass Extremsport ganz gefährlich ist. Sie sind aber recht, aber warum muss man irgendwas vermeiden jedoch es zu gefährlich ist? Das ist Leben! Du musst dich doch trauen und Risikos nehmen! Aber wann ich meine Leidenschaft für jeder Extremsport zeige, lächeln sie immer und sagen,, du? Bist du körperlich anstrengend? Bist du fit? Bitte Traum nicht in unnötiges Träumen." Seit meiner Kindheit während dieses Zeittraums habe ich Lust für verschiedene Extrem- Sport wie Parkour, Skateboarden, Tauchen und Klippenspringen, aber ich hatte gar nicht eine Chance zu wahrnehmen. Hoffentlich eines Tages bekomme ich eine Chance, wenn ich mein Haus der Eltern weglassen. Ich drücke dir und mir die Daumen.

I heard that the temperature where you live can be as high as 45 degrees, and it rarely goes below twenty degrees.
If I have the temperature around 20 degrees, I will be very happy because the weather is nice (the lowest temperature here will be negative 15 to 18 in the winter). How can you think it's cold?
When I say "I believe in youngsters" I mean I think they have the ability to do everything well, and they are reliable, positive and enterprising and so on. So I don't need to worry about them and talk about them too much in this aspect.
To recall a good memory when you are old, you need to work hard and not waste your time when you are still young.
I am not sure, but maybe. No matter whether things that happened in the past are good or not, I think they are all precious because they're my history, my growing up, my youth and my memory. I think most people will hold this perspective.

最初のブログ 私の日本語勉強の冒険について
最初は、このぶんを直してくれてありがとうございます
私は、八っか月間で勉強している。今は、「また、同じ夢を見てた」というの本を読んでいる あまりアニメを見ないけど、最近しろくまカフェというのアニメは見ている。日本語の字幕を使っているときには、大体が分かる。今まで、書いたことがいません。初めてです。少し難しです。「このすば」というのアニメ見るようにしたけど、あまりに難しので、読めない。書くことが私の予想より簡単。びっくりした。だけど、ただ簡単の文保が使える。今、読んだり、聞いたりできる。したがって、私はもっともっと書いたり、話したりしなければいけない。
読んでくれてありがとう！

Шутка
Мальчик говорит отцу:
"Папа, сегодня у нас был урок о капитализме, правительстве, рабочим классе и так далее, а я не всё понял. Пожалуйста, объяснени мне!
- Вот, сынишка, это не трудно. Возьмем, например, нашу семью. Я приношу деньги, чтобы содержать семью, так, можешь считать, что я капитализм, понятно? Твоя мама тебе показываешь, каким правилам тебе надо следовать, и каким нельзя. Она правительство. Ты, ты следуешь, ты народ. Твоя маленькая сёстренка, она всё ещё детка, так, можно считать, что она будущие поколения. Наконец, прислуга работает для нас, по этому, она рабочий класс. Ты понимаешь?
- Я не знаю...
- Подумай об этом, и завтра, всё будет понятным!"
Ночь наступает, сын идёт спать. Среди ночи, он просыпается от слез маленькой сёстры, которая очевидмо запачкала свой подгузник. Он дойдёт до комнаты родителей, но найдёт только одну, которая спит крепко и одна. Так как он улавливает слабые шумы из гостиной, он идёт туда, и найдёт отца занимающего со сексом с прислугой. Очень разочарованный мальчик решает вернуться в кровать и стараться спать.
Завтра, при завтраке, отец спрашивает:
- Так что, сын? Ты подумал о том, что я объяснил? Сейчас всё понятно?
- О, да, папа, очень понятно! Я понял, что спящее правительство не слушает народ в то время как капитализм трахает рабочий класс, и следоватеьлно, будущие поколения в говне !"

Chiste de barra
En el tiempo de los banditos y desperados, un grandullón está bibiendo su tequila en una barra, luego sale. Pero después de algunas minutas, vuelve de nuevo:
"¡Mi caballo! ¿Qué cabrón ha robado mi caballo?"
Ninguna respuesta.
Empieza mirando a cada hombre en los ojos, con una mirada asesina:
"Al ladrón le doy cinco minutos para que me devuelva mi caballo. Si no lo veo frente a la barra después de este plazo, voy a hacer lo que hice en Tijuana, hace diez años..."
Después de cinco minutos, sale otra vez, y el caballo está de nuevo aquí. Un hombre viejo le pregunta al grandullón:
"Digame, señor, qué ¿hizó en Tijuana, hace diez años?
— Bueno, volvé a casa a pie...

The Spy and the Traitor - 17
Summary num. 17.
This is a real story.
On 24 September 1971, the British government expelled 105 Soviet diplomats due to their “involvement in activities not related to their official duties"; in other words, they were spies. This mass expulsion had been brewing* for some time. MI5 had been aware of KGB operations in Britain, but decided to bide its time to inflict the most damage possible. The break finally came with the defection of a senior KGB officer, Oleg Lyalin. He was at the forefront of the 13th KGB’s department, which was responsible for drawing up contingency plans in the event of war with the West. These plans, of course, included sabotage operations in enemy countries, such as: targeting strategic infrastructures, neutralising enemy leadership and vip, activating the so-called sleepers, and so forth. All of this was greeted with concern by the few briefed British. However, it was also the perfect pretext MI5 had been waiting for to “legitimise” even more the mass expulsion. The impact it had on the KGB was massive. The KGB London station, one of the largest KGB station in the world, had been reduced overnight. The KGB would spend the next two decades struggling to restore it.
*Can I say “looming”?

It's harder than I thought
The past week I started watching Seinfeld because my professor told me that watch English TV shows without subtitles would help me improve my listening and pronunciation... But actually, it's really hard to understand everything.
Do you have any favorite TV show you think is easy to understand?

10 mars 2022 - le tueur de plantes
Je ne maîtise pas très bien la plantation. Comment je le sais ? J'ai eu l'expérience de faire pousser de basilic, de mint et de chili il y a deux ans. Bien que qu'ils grandisaient rapidement pendant les premières deux ou trois mois, au fur et à mesure, ils suffisaient de ravageurs et étions mort un après un parce que je n'avais pas leur payé beaucoup d'attention. Il y a aussi une fois que j'ai essayé de faire pousser le cactus qui bien entendu n'avait pas besoin beaucoup de soin mais malheureusement il était aussi mort deux mois après parce que j'avais arrosé trop de l'eau.
