My decision of today

I haven't wanted to show my blog to someone who I know, but I need it. How can I know if my English is improving?

So, this post is my decision: I'll reveal what I think in English to my Facebook friends, but only who has at least a few comprehension what is a English text.

Taboo language and racial slurs - Is REALLY there a good moment for use of them?

Taboo language is used by many people. While some groups see this kind of way of expression as dirty and disgusting, others consider it as dirty, fun and the best way to emphasize what they disagree or agree.

With regard to the racial slurs, there are people who defend the use of them in especific moments, as only among friends, for example. In the other hand, there are people who disagree with the use of them no matter the situation.

There are opinions a lot about as taboo language as racial slurs, and I have mine. For me, dirty words - in this case, taboo language - are as their name suggests: dirty. If I want to emphasize my annoyance or point of view, I use other words from vocabulary. “That’s so Puritan! You shouldn’t be so picky, and sometimes it is necessary to express your real feelings. Let yourself to use these words which make you free.” I AM free to use ALL words which I want and DO NOT use what I dislike, right? So, I respect who use them and I want to be dealed with respect.

Sometimes I use some “racial slurs” with my father. I put that expression in inverted commas because I call him, in Portuguese, “you black”, “after midnight”, “negão (it can be translated as “nigga”, “so black”, or the like)”, but just for fun between me and him. I don’t use them in order to humiliate him. I hate prejudice and the use of whatever word for offensive purposes. (Maybe I will suffer with racial slurs when I will travel abroad. Even though I am not hit by them so hardly right now, I put myself in who suffer with it shoes.)

In addition to all I have already said, I believe the words have power. The meaning from each of them must be considered. A word which is normal and polite, or just fun here can be not the same to a especific group. I, we can use several words to express our individual viewpoint of all, but this fact is not a reason that I have to be act as a idiot. Whatever either my or your opinion, every action causes a reaction.

How to deal with 10- until 14-year-old person

Walking on corridors, I usually see my workmates complaining about the afternoon shift, which is when the kids between 10- until 14-year-old are studying at school. "They scream a lot." "When they are more grown-up, it's easier to deal with them, but I can't speak with them on the same way I used to do with the grown-ups."

I thing everybody is different, even though among same-age. Everybody needs to understand we have to adapt our method of dealing with each one. I only see what is the best way to explain or lecture someone or a group when I pay attention to their essence, not only in my point of view.

After all, every one is a child who has grown up.

Random post for a random reader.

I'm not gonna tell everybody about this blog. My intention is this blog be found randomly, without my intervention. I usually am a hesitate guy. I don't like to commit mistakes, but I must try this language in some way!

By the way, I will work tomorrow, and I have to take a bath today. I don't need it, I NEVER stink, but I take only in order to not miss a good habit... #everybodydoesn'tagree

See you later. (If you've seen me, leave your comment below. Tell me how you are, [wo]man!)

Learning English.

Hello, reader! My name is Lucas, a Brazilian average guy who speaks and listens in English. I've been learning it, but I think my skills are not totally good.

This blog I create with the purpose to improve my English, showing my point of view about something or the like. Maybe I will use some word wrongly, but I want to get the risk. You, reader, can help me, showing to me what is not right here.

This is my first post. I hope it will not become the last!
