My name is Guillermo, I want to learn English because I am professor and most of the references with helpful information are in that language. I would like to help you with your Spanish.

Best regards.

Comparing my results

Yes, I have my digital calendar now, and I had taken the hours after Tuesdays on tutoring in the library. It had helped me to get quick help when I’m feeling stuck. I have had a lot of problems with my son, and all the changes had affected his mental health, so I need to be faster in resolving my assignments and labs to have free time in order to spend time with my family.

It has been difficult, but I tried my best to balance the time with all the courses that I have. I assigned tasks to my family members but depending on someone is so difficult. However, I think we can´t avoid these issues and I need to keep time to resolve them

Sometimes I got distracted, so I need to be faster in resolving the assignments and labs. It´s the only way to get more time for me and my family.

Yes, it has been difficult to balance the study of the other courses, but I tried to read during my one-hour quarter commute time with the help of my earphones. After classes, I spent almost part of my Sunday, all Mondays, and Tuesdays mornings on this course.  

Yes. I’m reviewing the readings and exercises before class. The problem has been that I get nervous when time limits, so my brain gets blank sometimes on quizzes.

I need to learn to stay calm and memorize better the important parts of the lectures.

Yes, I was able to do it. I’m resolving the labs in different ways in order to understand different methods to do things. Also, I’m explaining some exercises to my classmates, although it has been difficult because it sometimes takes me a lot of time. But it taught me that there are a lot of ways that humans organize their brains and multiple solutions, that sometimes are better than mine.

Yes, I love the course, so I’m enjoying it a lot so far. I always want to try different and better ways to do things.

I would love to buy more time to do more exercises, but it can´t be. I´m doing my best to take advantage of every minute and not get distracted.

 

No, sadly no. Sometimes I am sleeping only 4 hours.

Because all the courses have a lot of work to do. I’m working on Fridays; I have to take my son to school…but I know one day everything is going to be easier and I will get a reward. I hope so…

Maybe try to be faster, and if the conditions are different buy a car…

 

Thank you in advance!!

Communicate is the goal

Body

So I don't have idea how to start, tha's my first time that i decired to do one little text own my own in english, it's embaressing but truth, lets get stared. I'm Arthur i'm 32 and don't know exactly what kind of level that i'm in, maybe a begginer or not, so but i know that i need to grow up and get in level where i can feel a little bit more confortable to speak with native english speaker and even though none native english epeaker. 

To get in a level that i'd like to get, i was picking up about different methods, those methods consist in increase my vocabulary with new words inside context to don't lose the meaning, another way to improve is practice my speaking, i bealive that understand and speak is one of the most important thing when someone are learning one language, no matter the language that we decided to learn, cause i bealive that the main goal is communicate and share ideas with others.

Theres a lot of other reasons why people learn other languages, specialy English, my goal is communicate without effortless in English, i hope that i can visit other countries and i'm sure English will open many opportunities.

It's just a little text to see my writing, if you can help me, feel free to corret me and hope that i can help you with Portuguese. Have a great time learning the language that you are interested.

I love reggae music but...

Body

I love reggae music but I never grew dreads
And today, quite literally, I’m a bald head
Not as crazy as those Bob Marley wanted to chase (1)
Although on stage, I might behave like a nutcase
I respect Marcus Garvey but I’m not Rastafarian
In fact, I don’t even consider myself an African
So Sizzla can tell Africa to prepare (2)
I was born here and I don’t plan to go anywhere
By “here”, I mean the West; some say we are oppressed
I’ve travelled a bit; today I believe we are blessed
They're gonna keep saying we’re living in Babylon
Africa is the Promised Land; how come they still haven’t gone? (3)
They’ll probably come up with an interesting explanation
As to why they still haven’t achieved their repatriation
It’s been more than a century since Garvey preached it
All they’ve done so far is write songs about it
