Hi.
The first image doesn’t make sense. The third line seems to be Chinese.
The second one means “Do you want to go to a beach with me this summer?”

The second line of the first image is definitely Chinese, but it doesn't make much sense. It says "China..., I want to study..." Has this person taken Chinese for a while?

Ok, I will try with Chinese translator.

Thank you so much for your help :-)

God, I hope not. The writing is unbelievably atrocious!

Also, it seems to say 中国?近你、我想?你. To me, it reads something like "China close __ you, I think about you."

Is the addressee named "Hai" or "High" or "Jai" (guessing based on OP being apparently Portuguese) or something? I read the first as some very, very poor Japanese: "In Japan I you like Jai that I saw saw."

YuriTokoro has the second picture 100% correct, as is to be expected of a native speaker.

Hi, Yuri! お久しぶりですね!

I am Chinese.

It should be 中国告訴你,我想念你
告訴 in Chinese means "tell"

So something like "China tell you, I think of you"?

The sentence does not make sense. But you are correct.

Yeah, that was my point. Doesn't make sense in English. Doesn't make sense in Chinese. The lines above don't make sense in Japanese. :)
