Carmina's dad was craving for Vietnamese and wanted to bring his family have a meal. We are in the area of Brentwood, my dad remembered he used to dine in at CreAsian Wok 'n Roll . Upon entering there we're a lot of customers and the person asked how many we are seated at the table. The server handed us a menu asked us what we would like to drink. They brought out pitcher of iced water with glasses for us to pour our own water. My dad ordered a grilled lemongrass chicken combo with egg, shrimp, and an egg roll . Family member ordered basil leaf with chicken and garlic rice . Another family member had ordered a large Creation Special soup to share with everyone. Carmina wanted the banh mi sandwiches but unfortunately it wasn't available had to pick something else to eat. I decided to try the string beans with shrimp and included is the plain white rice. Service is fast and food is served at your table. Those who cannot finish their food they will provide take out c...
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.
