SPEAKING – 3 Oral Translation
1) Con respecto a Pascuas, se piensa que la gente se va
de vacaciones ya que hay 2 días feriados. Sin embargo,
aunque hay dos días feriados, yo debo trabajar igual. Es
decir, me hacen trabajar. No me dejan tener 1 día libre.
<<Llora en Ingles>>
2) Debido a las fuertes tormentas, en ocasiones, la conexión
a internet es pensada fallar. Por lo tanto, no hay punto
en empezar a llorar. En mi opinión, mas me vale buscar
una forma de sumarme a la clase que quejarme sobre el
hecho de no tener internet. Yo podría usar el internet del
vecino.
3) A pesar de no verse muy seguido, Carlos y Mónica han
sido muy buenos amigos por tanto como ellos pueden
recordar. Algunas veces, se encuentran de casualidad en
el colectivo, o en la calle. Ellos hacen todo dentro de su
poder para juntarse, pero son creídos trabajar tanto que
casi nunca se reúnen.
4) Mihail nunca presta atención a nada d lo que digo. Ella
actúa como si me escuchara, pero no. Nunca he
conocido a una tan ingrata persona. A pesar del hecho
de que ella es así, ella no es mala, es solo que ella es
demasiado colgada.
5) Seria mejor que nosotros no habláramos por un tiempo.
Aunque caes bien y te admiro, no puedo tolerar el
hecho de que no hayas superado a tu ex desde que se
separaron 3 años atrás.. Por lo tanto, seria mejor que
hagas terapia.
6) En lo que a mi respecta, hay cosas en la vida las cuales
son pensadas ser demasiado importantes para no
pensar en ellas cuidadosamente antes de tomar una tan
delicada decisión. Imagínate casarte, mudarte a otro país
o empezar una familia. Esas cosas son mas difíciles que
elegir una universidad o encontrar un trabajo.
