INGLES

Hi, Mia! Did you see the accident that was on television?

Hello, Angie! Yes, I did. At least it served as an example of what we shouldn't do.

The driver was 10 minutes late for work. Then he ran out of the garage and crashed into a passing car.

Yes! Well, at least no one got hurt. Oh, I almost forgot, I need to go to the library to buy some books and meet my boyfriend.

Oh! I think you mean you're going to a bookstore. Right?

Oh, yes! I'm so sorry! I'm still getting used to English. In Brazil it is very different! Anyway, thank you and see you soon!

Later on that day...

John, I've been embarrassed once more. Remember when I said I wrote my text on a block instead of I wrote my text on a writing-pad? And when I said I drank juice from a cop instead of I drank juice from a a glass? And worse, when I said I hate my parents instead of I hate my relatives? And my last gaffe, when I said I gave you a present instead of I gave you a gift? So, today I said library instead of bookstore.

Baby, don't worry! It's very normal for this to happen, because you were used to Portuguese. In time, you'll get used to it. Don't be sad, okay? I love you!

Ok! I love you too!
