MY LAST TWO YEARS

My last two years were very similar. I started the adult life and with it the challenges increased. Lately, I just work and study. I don’t have time to stay with my family or for relax.

This year my job is more difficult than the last year, because I’m in a new job and it requires more responsibility. This semester of college also was more difficult and tiring than the last year.

In 2011, I as talk as on the phone last year, I use the phone to talk with clients, boyfriend and my family. But this year I work more on a computer, I get more in front of computer than the 2010 year , my work is all time in front of it.

I hardly ever cook because I don’t have time, but I know to cook very well. Three years ago I cooked more than these last two years; I was responsible for taking lunch. Also, I ate and slept more than these last two years. I miss!

I never go to the shopping and just find my friends in the college before class. I’m always running. I’m every day in the traffic; I lose a lot of time in the bus. In the evening, after college I go to home of small bus, it’s faster.

Normally, I late for job because I can’t wake up on the time and also late for the English class because depend for bus. These are two years I’m later more than the other years.

Sometimes I tired of running!

THE PLACE WHERE I LIVE

1. I live in Caxias do Sul, which is a city very important the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. It’s population is about four hundred thirty five thousand four hundred eighty two people. Making it the second biggest city in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

2. Caxias do Sul is a beautiful place, and it’s great for eat. There are lot Italian restaurants. And the city is museums and some parks. There are many reminders of the city’s rich history, with fabulous monuments.

3. The lifestyle is ideal for people who don’t suffer with the cold. In Caxias do Sul there are only two stations: the winter and the bus station. The city is very rainy.

4. Caxias do Sul is known for the greap feast. It’s a typical Italian festival that happens held every two years in the month of February. The festival is know nationally.

5. But I think the best things about Caxias are the employment opportunities, but the people are very hardworking and don’t have time for family and new friend, they’re always working.

I don’t like much Caxias do Sul.

MY FAVORITE PHOTO!

In december 24th, 2008 my cousin Cristiano took the photo. We were playing in a balls' pool, when he took the photo.
My family met to celebrate the Christmas in Nova Petropolis. After dinner I and my cousins went to the shopping. In the shopping we ate french fries and ice cream, then we decided walk, while we were walking, we found a ball's pool. We entered in the pool and we started play.

In the hour that the picture was taken I was under the balls. This day was very cool because I enjoyed and I was with my cousins who I love very much.

The people and traffic in Caxias do Sul

The people in Caxias are always working. They're very stressed and when they're drive don't respect the pedestrians and like to pass traffic lights closed. They love to eat, so most are fat.
Most people are descendants of Italians and germans. Possibly that explains why they love eating and they are angry.
