Title?

Last vacation I went to Búzios with my family to celebrate my father’s birthday and I had an awful day!!
I clearly remember it was sunshine and I went to the beach with my cousin and my brother. I took to the beach a beautiful sunglasses, but there were “some problems”: the sunglasses was not mine, it was my father sunglasses and it were new and expensive. But still went with the sunglasses to the beach.
First of all (when I was on the beach), I lost my father sunglasses. To my horror, when I was looking for his sunglasses, I stepped in the poop of a dog! Everybody around me was laughing at me. In the and when I was coming home to celebrate my father’s party, I realized that I had forgotten my watch on the beach, it was too late to go back to the beach!
At home, when my father found that I lost his sunglasses and my watch he gave me the greatest scolding of my life! From that moment, I learned to never take things for others without asking first!! And I’m not creating a stirm in a teacup!

Title?

Some countries allow sixteen years old people to drive. Others just when they are 18. It causes a polemic discussion between parents and sons. The minimum age should be or shouldn’t be reduced to sixteen?
Many people believe that if the minimum age for driving has been reduced for 16, adolescents would have more freedom. Of course, most of these people, who think like that, are adolescents. However, there are few parents that are in favor too. They say that people, who are 16, are responsible enough to drive a car. They justify their point of view taking, for example, countries like USA where sixteen years old’s people are allowed to drive. Moreover, they say that they wouldn’t have to pick up theirs sons after parties. They’d drive home by themselves.
On the other hand, most of the parents strongly disagree with that. First f all, they say that adolescents ‘d never be responsible to drive a car in this age. For them, accidents would increase. And, also, the mortality tax between people in this age would increase considerably too.
In my opinion, the minimum age for driving can be reduced for sixteen, but we’d have to have education’s projects for these young people in order to make them more responsible and avoid accidents.

Title?

In 2005, in carnival, me, my brother, my father, my friend and my stepmother were travelling to Salvador, Bahia, by car, and my uncle, who is delegate was travelling too, but he left home, also by car, one hour late.
Everything was good, except the traffic jam that was kilometer in Campos, Rio de Janeiro. More or less 1 hour congestion a local taxi drove into the back of my father's car, but as my father's car was bigger than the taxi he gave up his car’s bumper. To solve this problem, my father and the taxi driver pulled up the car and began to argue, though my father was right in history, he wanted to give 100 reais for taxi and continue the travel faster, otherwise we would come later in the local, but the taxi driver called the local police .
After 30 minutes the Police came in the local and my uncle came too. Fortunately the policeman was an old friend of my uncle, so the two searched all the documents of the taxi and saw that everything was wrong, he couldn’t drive.
So the man who was winning 100 reais ended having his car stopped and a huge debt. And we continue the travel that was so good!
