Practice makes it perfect!
Hi there, guys! How about practicing your English a little bit? There is a Portuguese text below that I want you to translate into English. Can you do it without making a mess? Good luck! (Ola, pessoal! Que tal praticarem seu ingles um pouquinho? Tem um texto em portugues a seguir que quero que voces traduzam para o ingles. Voces podem fazer isso sem baguncarem o mesmo? Boa sorte!)
Olá! Meu nome é Paulo. Tenho vinte anos e moro sozinho num pequeno apartamento em Vitoria da Conquista. Sou de Salvador. Trabalho e estudo em Conquista. Trabalho num escritório no centro. Estudo Direito numa faculdade perto do meu apartamento. Quero ser um bom advogado. Tenho dois irmãos, Rafael e Fabio, e uma irmã, Priscila. Eles moram em Salvador com meus pais. Costumo visitá-los todos os anos nas minhas férias. Rafael é casado e tem dois filhos. Ele é médico e trabalha num grande hospital perto da praia. Fabio e Priscila não são casados. Fabio tem quinze anos e Priscila tem doze. Eles são estudantes. No meu tempo livre, gosto de sair com minha namorada, Jessica. Ela tem dezoito anos e é muito bonita. Jessica mora com sua família numa casa enorme. Ela também estuda Direito na faculdade. Às vezes, gostamos de ir à praia nos feriados.

Hello, guys, how are you all? I’d like to thank and congratulate you for your translations!
Daniela, I want you to check the sentence E UMA IRMA, PRISCILA.
Mauricio, you cannot leave out OLD when you say YEARS OLD for age.
(Ola, pessoal, como vao todos? Gostaria de agradecer e parabenizar voces por suas traducoes!
