When it comes to children education, parents must be careful. Excessive punishment is not a good way of teaching children how to behave. When punishment is excessive it becomes effectless.

I agree, Genilton! I believe we must find a balance for everything in life.
Let me just make one small adjustment to your first sentence. We can say:
When it comes to a child's education...
Or
When it comes to educating a child...

I live in small city and we don't good entertaiments.
We read the useless book, but It was good, we learn much.
Foto
Por: Ash em 11/01/2010 às 12:39h
Very good! Let me just make a few corrections:
...and we don't have good entertainments.
or
...and there is no good entertainment.
We read the a useless book, but it was good. We learned much a lot.
Hmmm, eu acho que você quis dizer useful, porque não faz sentido se o livro foi bom e você conseguiu aprender muito, mas ele foi useless. É só useless se não foi bom e não conseguiu aprender nada.

Is common in USA put the name of the month in a son? In this dialog we have "June" and I remember in Ninja Turtles about the girl "April", but I don't know anyone in Brazil that the name is "Outubro". LOL!

Is it common in the US to name a child after a month?
Well, Diogo, it's not super common, but yes, in fact there are Americans who are named after months.
There are girls named April, May, June, and even August. I guess it's really only girls who are named after months, but I did once meet a boy named August.
Foto
Por: tielima em 21/05/2010 às 12:20h
In fact, almost months are related with real names, not as a numbers. Maybe december. July, means Julio, August means augusto as well.

I Think that Haiti people can't stay away helpless. Must be a fast agreement between Brasil and USA to control de trafic airport.
Foto
Por: Josh em 26/01/2010 às 10:30h
I totally agree with you, George. Haiti suffered a terrible tragedy and now the world must come together to provide aid and support. Let's look at your sentences to see how you can improve them. First, people from Haiti are called "Haitians". I think what you meant to say in your first sentence is: "I think that the Haitian people can't be left helpless." Your second sentence: "There must be a fast agreement made (you "make an agreement") between Brazil and the US (not "the USA") to control airport traffic."

It must have been a long meeting if you became restless after the break!

My english book is endless.
In this month many people were homeless in Brasil.
I never had an argument with my son.
If I to study English I won't have a punishment of my boss.

Por: monicabic em 31/01/2010 às 14:23h
Good Fabio, just attention to the structure of the last sentence:
- If I to study English I won't be punished by my boss.

I could´t travel because I was moneyless.

The conference call was endless.

I´ve planned some improvement to my life.

Nex week I´ll have an appointment with Dr. Will.
Foto
Por: monicabic em 10/02/2010 às 15:48h
The first sentence would sound better like this: I couldn't travel because I was penniless.
Foto
Por: Katys_2009 em 10/02/2010 às 16:00h
"I was penniless" sounds like "sem nenhum tostão"? lol
Foto
Por: degga06 em 15/02/2010 às 16:55h
I drunk a glass of Red Bull and I shocked my head on the floor because I had though it "had me wings". But I´m flyless.

The appointment that my boss does by me it made me happy.
Foto
Por: monicabic em 16/02/2010 às 20:09h
Hi Degga, You drank Red Bull and hit your head on the floor, right? You don't have wings, so you can't fly....
What did you mean by "my boss does by me"?
Foto
Por: degga06 em 17/02/2010 às 12:23h
Hi Monica!
In the first sentece, I understood.
In te second, I tried to talk "meu chefe fez de mim"? I wrote wrong?
Foto
Por: monicabic em 17/02/2010 às 12:29h
Degga, to say "meu chefe fez de mim" you would have to say: "my boss made me".

Ok Monica!Tks!

There are a countless number of homeless in the big cities of the world. It's a society problem and need be treated with care and accompaniment of all responsible organs.
Foto
Por: Josh em 24/02/2010 às 12:05h
Hi, Jvieramartins! What great sentences! Let's take a look at them. In the first one you are talking about "a number", so the verb has to be in the singular - "There is...a countless number of homeless people..." "It's society's problem and needs to be treated with care and attention by all responsible organs."

Por: jvieiramartins em 03/03/2010 às 16:26h
Ok!
Thanks Josh

I am attentionless (does it exist? if no I have just created it) because I´m sleepy. So I going to finish this class right now in order to avoid a disapprovement from my teacher.
Foto
Por: monicabic em 16/04/2010 às 18:52h
Well, you've just invented a work but the rest of the sentence is perfect. Para "sem atenção" you could say "lacking attention or concentration".
Foto
Por: paulom2001 em 17/04/2010 às 09:22h
Ok, I´ll remember: "lacking attention"

Thank you Monica!!

Childhood is a crucial stage in the development of a child.
You can also count on your fingers, but you won't get any higher then ten, unless you add on your toes as well.

After being fired she had to sell her house and as a result she became jobless and homeless simultaneously.
By the way as I got 100% on this exercise no punishment is going to be required.

To our poor Brazilian folks don’t don’t remain nothing more than leave well enough alone their thoughts and devote time watching and playing soccer

Por: Josh em 14/06/2010 às 13:58h
Hi, Gmangold. Do me a favor, send in this sentence in Portuguese so I can help you make corrections to it. I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say.
Foto
Por: gmangold em 23/06/2010 às 22:15h
É está mesmo confuso até para eu entender o que escrevi. Talves seja: Para nosso pobre povo brasileiro não resta mais nada do que viver suficientemente bem sosinho com seus pensamentos e passar seu tempo assistindo e jogando futebol.
Foto
Por: Josh em 24/06/2010 às 10:46h
Try this: For the poor people of Brazil (OR: ...poor Brazilian people), nothing remains but to live as well as they can, alone with their thoughts, and to spend their time watching and playing football (soccer).

I will have an appointment tomorrow.

Por: Josh em 28/06/2010 às 13:16h
Good sentence, Catharino. But one important thing to remember is that if you have scheduled or arranged something for the future, the correct verb tense to use is the "present continuous" - "I am having a meeting tomorrow." You can also use the "going to" future - "I'm going to have a meeting tomorrow."

When I was a child, I never had an punishment, thanks for mom. Maybe it was the reason because I'm so senseless. What?! LOL I'm joking!

Good job, Priscilla! Check out these corrections:

When I was a child I was never punished, thanks to mom. Maybe that is the reason I am so senseless.

It's important we have care with our health. Careless people become sick more frequently. This is a statement done by the most doctors.
