Topic 1: Personal Goals



Hi guys my name is Luisa and I am from Brazil. I’m twenty years old and my major is Chemistry. I like to listen music, read books, watch TV shows and mostly I like to eat and relax. My biggest dream is have a beautiful family and amazing kids. I believe in love. And think that love is the more power in the world. So love and allow yourself to be loved.

My first goal is speak better. I don’t know what happens with me. In my mind I talk English all the time. But when I open my mouth seems like the words blows away. So to get better I will join all the English conversation club that I can. And I will try to talk just in English with the others Brazilians. And I hope to make new American friends because when I will be with them I will talk just in English.

My second goal is read better. I would like to read fast. But not read by read. I want to read and understand what I am reading. So for getting better I will read a book as faster as I can. And when I finished this one I will read other book.

And last but not least I want to write correctly. I make mistake about the grammar. Many times I don’t know if I have to use “him” or “his” for example. Is my bigger problem with the grammar. And to fix it I will study the rules of grammar and write more. I'm thinking about to write some stuff everyday (like a diary), if I do that I think that I will get better in my writing.

  3. Hi, You can work on your problem in short time because you know your problem. I wish you can do your goals at the end of term.

    * note:
    Usually people use his at the beginning of sentence and they use him at the end of sentences.

    examples:

    I have a good friend. His name is Jonas. Every day I play with him.

    his = you use it to describe what he owns.
    him= you use it to describe something happen with one male.


    If you need more explain, I can lend you my grammar book.
