My Favorite City
There're many citys in the world, it's a shame that I don't know a lot, so what remains to me it's to talk about the ones that I know.
My favorite city of all the times (I just know 5 actually) is Pelotas.
It's such a good place to live, you can seat in beautifull parks and drink a hot 'chimarrĂ£o' without being bothered
There're such beautifull sights here, and I like the diversity of culture that spread around the city.
About the weather, a lot of people would complain, but I thinks it's so nice, I mean, there's the summer that is so hot, and that such cold winter, so we have a bit of each and it please me.
But if there's one thing that I don't like, it's that there're too many pegeons, and the fact of they can transmite diseases to us, doesn't make things better.
I really like living here, probably one day I'll move, but I'll never forget this stinky city.

Better ways to be Better
When the subject is learning, there's no limits, you can always improve your knowledge. But how can I be a better learner?
There're so many ways to do this, you can try a lot of things, but of course it depends of what you are going to learn.
So I'm going to talk about learning another language, in this case, English.
To learn English and most of the languages, you have to be able to understand what people say and talk to them as well, you have to be able to write correctly and read.
Hearing: There's nothing better than watching a movie or a show that you like, because besides doing something you like, you are also getting used to the language. And taking off the subtitles is a good way to force yourself to understand the story.
Speaking: This is the hard part I guess, because to you speak well, you need somebody to talk with you and correct you. So I'd say, find someone to talk with who can actually speak English. But if you don't have this privilege, hear things and try to repeat it's a good way to improve your speaking.
Writing: Making a blog like this is important, because you're putting in practice all the words that you know. And the words that you don't know, you can just search on the internet.
Reading: It's good at first read something you like, no matter if it's too hard to you, because than you are challenging yourself and you actually end up learning a lot more.
So, my conclusion of all this is: You can have fun and learn English at the same time.

Names
A lot of people say that you must be carefull when the subject is: choose a name for you son or daughter. But I actually do not think that it is true because the name is just a label on you, and I particularly do not like my name and so, I indentify myself with another one.
I do not blame my parents for this at all, they just like this name, at last someone likes, right? And to be honest, having a name that does not really please me, made me realize who I am, not who they say that I am.
But I not saying that names are not important, I mean, the point of having them it is to you do not mixed up when you are calling your friend and everyone turns to you, that would be weird. So names are kinda important, right?
If I ever have kids, I would just put names that I think it is cool (and proper of course) because if I think "Oh I gonna put my daughter's name Ana cuz I'd like to be called Ana" It will probably not work, because people are different, they have different tastes, and if your name really bothers you, you can just change.
