   Hello

   Hi again, Thalles!  Awhile ago you wrote in a message to All:   
      
   TC>  Hello, I would like to improve my English.   
      
      
             That is music to my ears.  Now, to help you get started:   
      
             I live in the city of Vancouver, which is located in the   
   southwestern corner of Canada near the Pacific Ocean.  Other cities in the   
   Greater Vancouver area include Richmond, which consists of a group of islands   
   in the Fraser River to the south.  I'm telling you this partly because it   
   gives me an excuse to use prepositions & partly because there are various   
   other places with similar names   
   ... so the geography might be confusing to readers from SomePlace Else.   
      
             Canadians joke that many of us snuggle up to the US border for   
   warmth because other parts of Canada get very cold in winter.  Vancouverites   
   joke that they have webbed feet... like ducks... because it rains quite a lot   
   here.  When cold air from Alaska meets warm ocean currents from Mexico, e.g.,   
   the resulting clouds unburden themselves on the mountains.   
      
             Geographically I live in a "temperate rain forest".  I love the   
   trees & the mountains & the ocean.  I understand that the Pacific Ocean is not   
   always as calm as it appeared to be on the day that some explorer or other   
   named it... but that weather patterns near the Atlantic Ocean may be quite   
   another story.   
      
             Flavio has been educating us about Brazil.  Now it's your turn.  ;-))
