Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
You're English is Better than Others
Reason why I say this I have a lot of friends asking for a favor
from me.
I had a friend who had told me I am good in English and wanted me
to check their language on their resume to see if their grammar was correct.
My friend was saying your English is better than mine and I am
applying for a job. I need a favor if you can check upon it to see how I can
make changes.
The funny part my friend gave it in a jpeg (picture). I had typed
it in from the beginning by checking how the format is supposed to look these
days.
The resume I had was old school took me two hours to type and
corrects everything. My friend kept asking me if it was done. I felt I had a
deadline to meet.
I had emailed back the resume to my friend in Microsoft Word.
My friend Yann had applied a job at the call center working from
home. Yann was telling me she is not good enough to speak English. I was
telling her based on her sample of what she gave me she speak well enough for
customers to understand.
Yann just need practice to speaks well enough and not have a slang
while talking. Yann was telling sometimes she cannot understand why a different
dialect is a caller when they explain on the phone.
You will come across people their dialect is deep and the way they
talk is hard to hear.
I gave Yann a short cut on aberration common used when you're
talking to someone to understand what letter they are letting you know.
There are times Yann feels frustrated. I keep telling her at least
you have a job that pays well enough to work at home.
I have a best friend who I keep asking to look for a job we began
listing what experience she has to narrow it out what job she can apply for my
way to give a push.
Sometimes you don't realize you're English is Better than Others only when they begin talking to you.
For a person who grew up in California and English being her first language it is common to keep talking even though you live in the Philippines.
I may sound slang the way I talk but people say I talk too fast. I've heard other people talk fast when I am watching videos in Facebook doing their vlog. I don't think I am alone just the way we talk seem we're in a hurry.
No matter if I live in the Philippines my English is better from all my friends. I speak English at home. Even though I may have slight slang tone in my voice I am still Americanize.
