Hi, Allene.

I've changed a few things in your text. Only rivers flow (corre) not the avenues and "body of water" is translated as "massa de água".
I'm not sure if this is what you want. I tried to use a "ritmo normal" but if you want, I can do it slowly.

Why are you so interested in cais das colunas, can I ask?

Oh, Elizabete! Once again, lovely! Thank you so much! And thank you as well for the corrections.

Aquilo de a avenida correr ao longo da margem tirei-o da Internet, que tende a espalhar barbaridades :D

Tirei "corpo de água" do mesmo lugar.

Hmm...Talvez a questão de "corpo de água" vs. "massa de água" seja regional? Este sítio de Viana do Castelo
http://portal.smsbvc.pt/agua/glossario
usa "corpo de água". What do you think? Hmm...But "massa de água" is still winning out in sites in the northern region.

Regarding my interest in the Cais das Colunas, yes! You most certainly can ask! I have a meeting right now with some students, but afterwards--and after breakfast--I'll send you a private message.

Thank you so much, Elizabete!

I forgot to respond to this:
> I'm not sure if this is what you want. I tried to use a "ritmo normal" but if you want, I can do it slowly. <

It is exactly what I want!

For pronunciation activities, I do prefer a slower pace; however, for most listening comprehension activities, I prefer normal/rapid speech.

Thank you for offering, though!
