Estou a assistir Hacks com legendas portuguesas e Deb disse a frase "y'all" varias vezes no episodio que estou a ver. Nas legendas traduzem a frase como "malta" e nao consigo encontrar o que significa. E uma palavra antiga tipo slang, por exemplo?
Does anybody know the site? They claim to be selling old exams, are they worth buying?
I'm going to take a C1 level exam in Portuguese on 5/14. I have taken no classes and there are no books or past exams, nothing to prepare me for it. I don't expect a good score, a barely passing score would suffice, but I also don't mind if I fail, I realize I'm taking a wild chance here.
That said, I know I'll do well in the listening part, I expect to be adequate in the speaking and the reading part, as well. I mainly fear the writing part. I have C1 - C2 level certificates in English, Spanish and German, so I know how to write an essay. I know to use linking words, separate paragraphs, use complex sentence structures, etc, I remember all of that. I've been looking at essay subject examples in English, though, and I can't think of anything to write for any of them. My mind just goes blank every time, I have a terrible case of writer's block. Any advice on how to get over that?
I work as a tour leader. I was in a bus that doesn't belong to our company, today, and the driver is an absolute POS, I've seen him be rude to customers, he will rearrange the tour and delay it so he can get coffee from his favorite coffee place without having to order coffee so he won't tip the driver, last week I saw him yell at a 72-year-old disabled woman who was begging to get to an accessible bathroom because she couldn't hold her pee anymore. I absolutely hate him.
I earn tips that I'm not supposed to share because they're my fucking tips, if anyone wants to tip him, they'll do it when they reach their final destination, I get off a few hours before they get there. I give him some of my money, anyway, because I don't want to pick fights with him or any of the other drivers. Today he decided that I hid 20 euros from him and he yelled at me and threatened me, he said that the next time we work together it won't be fun for me. I don't know if he's planning to not do his job (he barely does it as it is) or if he thinks I'm going to care if he's going to be an asshole to me but one moment I'm thinking that fuck him, there's nothing he can do and he's never getting tips from me again and the next moment I remember when my boss said we didn't have to split evenly with the drivers and a driver refused to let me out of the bus unless I gave him half the tips. My boss will never defend me, either, he'll blame everything on me, I can't involve any of my coworkers in this.
But, anyway, I'm leaving work, I'm livid, I go to get a glass screen protector for my phone and there are two men at the shop I go to. One of them asks me to unlock my phone and tries to literally go through my phone to find the settings because, he says, he needs to know which phone it is. I tell him, he ignores me and tries to grab my phone and get to the settings again. I repeat my phone's model and I go to the settings, too, making sure to point out that 1. he's offending me by acting like I don't know which fucking phone I have and 2. he's so good with phones he can't get to the goddamn drop down menu and find the settings. He confirms I know which phone I fucking have and then his colleague, who was on the phone, hangs up and starts to replace my broken glass protector. My phone has a yellow border all around the screen, it's glue, and it's harmless. This fucker, though, wants to sell a new screen, so he doesn't full out lie but he's condescending as hell and he's trying to scare me into replacing my screen. I tell him it's fine, I'm about to replace the phone, anyway, but he insists the screen needs to be replaced because if it dies, I won't be able to move any of my files and apps to the new phone.
Now I just got home and I'm seething and I'm dreading the thought of having to go to work tomorrow to face another asshole fucking driver again.
