One penny or impersonal form?



I'm sure that everyone of you had to go schopping in a local grocer's shop at least once. There are two phenomena I'd like to mention and I'm pretty sure you know what I'am talking about!

1. "Mogę być winna grosika?"

You finally come up to  the cash-desk, you pack all the products and you want to pay. 19.99. And then the magic question appears.... "Mogę być winna grosika?" So, we say: Yeah, keep the change,please! But we actually think.. NO, YOU CAN'T! How many times did it happen to you?

2.  Impersonal forms: "Ma dwa złote?" " "A da?"

What can we do when we don't know wheater we should say for example to a girl "Miss"or we just can say "You"? The Polish, as usualy, came up with the brilliant idea and they started using impersonal forms and that concerns especially sellers! "Dać torbę?", "Dwa złote ma?", "Przesunie sie" etc,etc, I really can multiply the examples but it's certain that you experienced it yourselves. As far as I'm concerned, I always feel like those sellers treat me like a dummy, aren't you too?;)

I prepared for you a nice video connected with subject of this post:) (I have to prevent you that in this short film appears a few swearwords.. Pardon!)




When the opportunity occurs, I strongly recommend you this, let's say, "author" of videos - kolorowyvlog,
he makes really nice videos;)

Cats are all around.


I'd like to dedicate this post to all cat people;)

For the last few months the Internet was flooded with a range of cat's photos, videos with cats, memes with cats.. Shortly, cats controle the world!

I've been always fascinated by the fact that people, when they meet you for the first time, ask you (or it's very likely they will do it next time) if you are cat person or dog person. Did you notice it at least once?

Following this classification: Are there some qualities associate to cat people and to dog people? Like what?
The people belonging to the first group are nice, cute and lazy and those from second group are energetic, joyful or confident just like their pets? This will be always a secret for me.

As far as I'm concerned, I can't "classify" myself, I do like both, but sincerely sometimes freak me out.
Barczi's cat is the best example.. it's a wild animal, I assure you!

I came up with all this "cat thing" when I found (by accident of course:)), this video :

I hope you will like it.




AND WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE ??

Make-up junkie!

If I take into account that almost all people studying French (or Spanish, whatever..) are women, a post about make-up or cosmetics sounds like a perfect idea;)
Sure, it's all related with a video which I want to see you, but first a short introduction.. ( it won't be "shopping haul video", don't worry!:)

Everyone likes looking good, that's obvious. As far as I'm concerned, I've been always thinking that make-up is "girl stuff".. but everything is changing right now. If man can carry a bag and wear slim jeans, they can everything!

We make-up when we're going to a party or a concert. For a job interview and for an exam. We do it to feel more confident, not to "improve" our beauty;)

But, can you imagine why man would like to wear make-up?

Remember:  Don't judge a book by its cover! :)

I'm going on an adventure?!!

Hello,

As our English teacher asked us to do, I'm going to write about a dangerous "sport". This is a high-class sport, you can practise it only in Poland!
Fot those who are adrenaline junkies, like taking risk and are ready to endure this tough experiences by themselves....... presenting : going by train!!!!

For the last few years I've been travelling by train hundreds times. Sometimes at short, sometime at great distance. Every single time PKP surprises me!  All my friends know that you shouldn't choose the same train like me;)

Once, my train surely broke the record for the most slow-moving train ever. 60 km/ 5h! (including trees falling down which damaged railway line..)

Yeasterday, on the other hand, my trains were on time, but... there were no place to sit, so I was standing almost 5 hoursin the passageway looking longingly at people sitting in their compartments.

I really would like to be the person who can put up wiht discomfort and just pass over this in silence.. but I'm not. This time, I'm going to file a complaint!

As you can see this extreme "sport" is not for every one! You need nerves of steel, if you want to try it!;)

 I think you know it very well, but it always nice to revieve yours memories:
