    1. Joao,

      In your first sentence better saying: "I was visiting..." than "I had been visting". It makes more sense.

      Check

      line 4: I had been driving to a fishing village,,, not draving
      Line 5: we were riding the motorboat...not walking on
      Line 6 : stop for lunch
      Line 7: While it was raining
      Line 8: the rain had stopped when we watched ...

    1. Vitor,

      I believe that you meant with some "friends" not "some friend" in line 2.

      Check

      line 3: As a gentleman...

      I would change the punctuation of your last sentence:

      (...) her beauty and so on. After a few minutes, the magic happened and we have been together since then.

    1. João,

      I would say: "I was walking to work" instead of "I was walking to job..."

      Check

      line 3: we were dancing for a long time...

      Remember the pronoun I is always written with a capital letter. so it's "I" never "i"

    2. Mabrisa,

      We say an bedore vowel sounds so in line 1 you should have written " I will be working for an international and ..."

      Check

      Line 8 : "next to my parents" instead of "next of"
      Line 9 : I think you meant " two brothers' families
      Line 9 : and on our vacation
      Line 11: finish my graduation
      Line 11: I don't know what you meant with "increasing my habilits" It didn't make sense to me. Maybe you meant developing my skills...

    3. I meant "we say an before..." not "bedore" sorry :)

  7. By the time that you are working to reach your goals some things can happen and change your plans, but, don't worry about that. Just keep your focus on the place that you want to reach and adapt yourself to the new conditions.
