Congratulations for your portfolio. I'm happy you could solve the technical problems and that you succeeded in everything!Hard work, you've done!

Now, just a little comment:

the word "news" is a little bit tricky in English. It is UNCOUNTABLE and therefore always SINGULAR. If you want to talk about "una notícia" you can't say "a new, or a news", you must use "a piece of news" or "an item of news" instead.
