Hi there!
My favorite restaurant is called Peixinhos (Little Fishes), actually it's a bar-restaurant that works day and night (not 24 hours) and it's always full, no vacancy. The people have to wait some minutes to eat there.. hehehe
This restaurant is next to my home, on a near neighborhood. Well, next if I go by car, but I can't go walking on the streets for hours... I'm a biking fan, not a walking one.
I just went there once, but I love it. It's not pretty expensive, the attendants (employees) are great and I love fish! Actually, I don't know the reason I didn't back there. Well, I need to!
Crossing the street there is a nice little square with some trees. But the street is a little bit desert; not the traffic, because everytime there are cars passing through the street (or is it an avenue? I don't remmeber), but there isn't more trades or shops, just houses and an abandoned, helpless, unused field. Poor field...
Thanks! :)

I like your new pic! :)
You have a nice friendly writing style. However, here are a few suggestions to make this exercise read better:

Actually it's a bar-restaurant that works day and night (not 24 hours) and it's always full, no vacancy.(This is not necessary and it is used for hotels) The people have to wait some minutes to eat there.. hehehe This restaurant is next to near my home, in a nearby neighborhood.

"helpless" is generally used to describe people.
A good exercise.

Hi Niara,I hope you are doing well ,about you writing exercise ,there are some changes that I would make to sound more like an English speaker. Introductions are very important. I would have said, Hello my name is Niara,please review my writing exercise.
My favorite restaurant is peixinhos.Actually it is combination bar and restaurant that works from early morning until late each night.Because of the great food and customer service people that want to eat there sometimes have to wait long periods of time before a table becomes available.
This restaurant is in a nearby neighborhood if traveling by car.Since I can not walk for hours,I sometimes ride my bicycle because I love to ride a bicycle.
I have been there only once but I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends. It is not very expensive and the staff gives excellent service and I love the food. I don't know why I haven't gone there but I must go soon.
Across the street I saw the town square,which was beautifully decorated with trees and many flowers in full bloom. Since this was the only business on that street,there were very few people out walking but the streets were very crowed with traffic. One thing I did notice was an abandoned field.
Hello, Gilgy and Steve!
Thanks for your help! It's important for me...
Nice week!
Excellent english, as always. I made a few minor corrections. It is a very interesting paragraph. It write like a native.
The bar is "open" day and night. "No vacancy" is usually used for rooms at a hotel. People usually have to wait to eat there. This resturant is next to my home in a nearby neighborhood.
Well, next if I go by car, but I can't go walking on the streets for hours... ? Do you mean.... I go by car because I can't go walking on the streets after hours.
It's not expensive. ....why I didn't go back there. Across the street, is a nice little square with some trees.
But the street is a little bit deserted; not the traffic, because there are always cars passing through the street (or is it an avenue? I don't remmeber). But there aren't more businesses or shops, just houses and an abandoned, helpless, unused field. Poor field... Thanks! :)
