Can you find any mistakes? (between & among)

Read a paragraph by Student Carlos:

Nowourdays the violence is a principal cause of death betwen youth people. They are always around the corner, causing accidents of traffic. The violence can be seen also in the home, where there are a sort of opportunities which are allowed to raise the violence, like having gum, collecting boozes, growing superficial relationships. We need to end up this situation.

** Correct it and leave me a message in this blog, or by email, please!

Between or Among:

Carlos says: between youth people
The correct preposition is: AMONG young people.

* This is because we use BETWEEN when we are talking about two things, and AMONG when we are talking about three or more things.

Here are some examples with BETWEEN:

BETWEEN you and me, I think he's an idiot.
The US is BETWEEN Mexico and Canada;
When you go to the movies, the kids sit between thir mother and father.

Here are some more examples about AMONG:

Oranges are very popular fruit among Americans.
Among my freinds, you are the one I trust most.
Suicide is a leading cause of death among young people.

Vocabulary:

*Booze: (slang) School;
* Suicide: the act of killing yourself;
*Violence: behavior that can hurt people physically;
* gun: a firearm;

A movie: What is comedy?!

Inglês na Ponta da Língua: Como dizer "DE NADA"?

Desafio para os alunos

Pessoal:
Abaixo deixo o link de um vídeo do Luiz Felipe Scolari - sobre o Chelsea, que recebi de um dos meus alunos e, gostaria que vocês prestassem a atenção e, me retornem dizendo os erros que vocês encontraram no vídeo. Essa é a melhor maneira de eu saber como vocês estão acompanhando o curso de Inglês. É um tipo de avaliação melhor do que uma prova, em minha opinião:

"Eu achei legal a coragem dele em falar desse jeito em frente a tantas pessoas e cameras, o cara é bom! Legal que ele tenta, vai assim mesmo e não desanima! Levando-se em consideração que, o mais importante ali é a negociação dos jogadores e, todo o resto sobre esse assunto, ele realmente não precisa se preocupar demais com o Inglês, é meio "tupiniquim" mas parece que todos ali entenderam o que ele disse e, ele entendeu as perguntas. É assim mesmo! Nota dez pra ele pela ousadia!"
