Family was informed by their friends to try Blackbird at the Nielson Tower and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve. Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff. One hour later, people started coming into the restaurant and took their seats at the reservation table, browsing the menu to decide what to order. Our family members were running late, but we didn’t get bored thanks to the friendly staff. More customers kept arriving and placing their orders, and we couldn’t help but glance at their dishes, curious about what ...
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.
