DOG BARKING TRANSLATOR
Something very surprising happened yesterday while I was at my friend's.
A cousin of mine who I don't talk for a long time popped up greeting me and saying those things we normally do when chatting to friends. I found that really strange, but the point didn't took long to arrive.
She asked me to translate an abstract from Portuguese to English, because she needed that to present a work in a congress and blah blah blah....
Okay I felt like not accepting at first, but then I realized she wanted me to do that for free and well as I'm someone who thinks we teachers have to value our profession I accepted that not saying that I'd ask for a payment for the job. I think she was all happy because I'd translate her paper but before saying good-bye I said: Alright, so it's 20 bucks, is that okay? In my opinion she felt a little embarrassed because she gave that "yellow" smile and said, it was okay.
When I got home and told this story to my mother she loved it, since my mother doesn't like my cousin very much. She thinks my cousin is very stuck up! Well, I must admit it's not only her that thinks so... hehehe
