The manifestations
The events happened in Brazil last week don't gone easy for anyone. This events scored the
Brazilian history and the life of Brazilian people. In my opinion the discontented people have
right to fight for their opinion and their rights. But, what this people don't do can do is to
disturb and interfere in the life other people. For example: to block the road, and stop people
who want to pass. Preventing the right to come and go. Last week I felt very sad. Because
the situation in Brazil with these demonstrations and because the people didn't accept the
right of other people who voted and who have their rights. But, I believe and I hope that
everything will be better.
The weather
The weather lately have stayed a few confused. We are in the spring, and here in my city is
cold and windy. I don't understand why the weather is so strange. However, soon it is will be
summer, and we hope it will be warm and cozy.

Correction:
The protests/riots (I think I used “manifestations”, but riots/protests are more correct)
The events (that) [just mentioning that “that” is implicit here, and you are correct, don’t need
to write it] happened in Brazil (or took place in Brazil) last week were not easy for anyone.
These [plural] events marked [Brazil scored two goals...] Brazilian history and the life of
Brazilian people. In my opinion the discontented people have the right to fight for their
opinion and their rights. But what these [plural] people cannot do [in bold because it is a
grave mistake] is disturb and interfere in the life of [preposition missing] other people. For
example [or for instance, just reminding you of this other way]: blocking [we will talk more
about this later, but here the correct is verb ending in ing] the roads [I think it is better in the
plural] and stopping people who want to pass. Preventing the right to come and go. Last week
I felt very sad [if you want to sound more informal: I got very sad], because of the situation in
Brazil with these demonstrations and because (many?) people didn't accept the rights of other
people who voted and who have their rights. But I believe and I hope that everything will be
[or, more informal: get better] better.
The weather
The weather lately has [he, she, it is/has] been (we can talk more about it, but the correct is
verb to be in this case and not stay) a little (a few: poucos; but you meant pouco) confusing
[https://www.facebook.com/AmericanEnglishatState/photos/confused-and-confusing-are-
both-adjectives-confusing-is-used-to-describe-things-/10158820133079123/]. We are in the
spring, and here in my city it [pronoun “it” is missing] is cold and windy. I don't understand
why the weather is so strange. However, soon it [without is] will be summer, and I [?] hope it
will be warm and cozy.
