Exercício 4 — Escrita Livre
Write a short WhatsApp message (3–5 sentences) for each situation below. Use at least one locução com DAR in each message. Try to make them sound natural and informal, as if you were texting a Brazilian friend or colleague.
You're messaging a friend to say you'll stop by their house later and want them to give you a call when they're home.
A colleague sends you a report they wrote. You want to say you'll read it quickly and get back to them with your thoughts.
You've been working non-stop. Message a friend saying you need a break, you're going for a walk, and you'll think about their invitation and let them know.
When you're done, send your exercises to your teacher. She will read them carefully and give you personalized feedback — pointing out what you did well and helping you improve your Portuguese even further. This is one of the best ways to grow as a writer in a new language!
