Hello Rinaldo,
it’s nice to meet you.
A good Forum friend of ours by the name of Megan, organizes free skype sessions regularly. Nonetheless she’s been away for a while due to medical recommendations. But another good friend by the name of Yuri is trying to organize a session for next Sunday.
If you are interested, the link to the topic where the signing up posts are made and where you can find some more information is :

Hope to see you there.
See you,
Mauricio.
Hello Rinaldo,
You’re almost correct that though I’m not from India, I’m from Bangladesh which is a neighboring country of India. It’s my pleasure to have you in my Skype list and to practice spoken English together with you; especially, we can take part in the Skype conversational group sessions regularly. I’m happy to see your name on the participant list there of the 29th July on Sunday.
Hello Mauricio,
Thanks a lot for your active participation and consistent postings here in the forum pages. Your posts are quite encouraging for everyone around! Is it correct that in Brazil you pronounce “Hinaldo” than “Rinaldo”? 
Let we all take part in this “Speaking English for 20 seconds a day!” topic page by posting our voice messages regularly!
Thanks,
Mujibur

When damages to a vehicle happen, the car mechanic is responsible for finding out what the problem is and making sure the repairs get done. Keeping a vehicle in good shape for as long as possible is very important, so maintenance of cars and light trucks is another huge part of the car mechanic’s job. Proper maintenance also prevents further damage. Routine maintenance isperformed on all parts of the vehicle, including the engine, transmission, brakes and electrical system. Inspections are also part a mechanic’s job. People bring in their vehicles for inspection at regular intervals throughout the year. Businesses also bring in their company vehicle for regular inspection. The purpose of inspection is to make sure all the parts are in good working order and not becoming worn out or faulty.
Mechanics use several different types of tools: hand tools, power tools, computer diagnostic tools and machine tools. Car mechanics regularly use pneumatic wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers,welders and grinders.

Picture description (1)-first grade

This is a picture of a three people, a man, a woman and a young girl. The man is a doctor, because he is wearing a white coat and has a stethoscope around his neck. The man has grey hair and a grey beard. He is wearing glasses. He is wearing a light blue shirt with a dark tie. He is holding a clipboard in his hands. The little girl has light brown hair and is wearing a yellow top. The woman is probably her mother. She has long straight dark hair and is wearing a purple blouse with little black dots. Her hand is on the little girl’s shoulder. The doctor is smiling at the little girl. I think they are at the hospital for a checkup.

Apart from using the indefinite article before ‘three’ in the first sentence, your description is error free, Kati.
This is a picture of three people.
Incidentally, do you know the regular dot pattern on the woman’s blouse is called a polka dot pattern? For example, you could have said “She is wearing a purple blouse with a small black polka dot pattern.” or “She is wearing a purple and black polka dot blouse” or “She is wearing a purple polka dot blouse. The dots are black.”
