Week 1 - Writing Course

I mostly write in English when I am working, sending e-mails to my clients and texting my boss. I am used to sending work e-mails in my native language, Portuguese, but I had faced moments when I use words that are very common and acceptable in my native language, but in the English grammar or/and culture might sound different or even rude comparing of what I really want to say.

I used to write poems and songs when I was a teenager, but today, writing is not one of my passions or hobbies, besides that, I have to write a lot and well in my career.

I am really looking forward to improving my business writing with this course. I can feel frustrated sometimes by not getting to my writings expectation in English as much I used to get in Portuguese. And now, living in the USA and looking for a better job position, I definitely need to develop my writing skills.
