Meris17: More about prepositions

[[File:Prepositions-english-polyglot-club.png|thumb]]
<div style="font-size:200%;">Preposition</div>

Prepositions are short words ('''on''', '''in''', '''to''') that usually stand in front of nouns (sometimes also in front of geund verbs).

A prepositions describes a relationship between other words in a sentences.

In itself, a word like "'''in'''" or " '''after'''" is rather meaningless and hard to define in mere words.

For instance, when you do try to define a preposition like "'''in'''" or " '''between'''" or "'''on'''", you invariably use your hands to show how something is situated in relationship to something else.

Prepositions are nearly always combined with other words in structures called prepositional phrases.

Prepositional phrases can be made up of a million different words, but they tend to be built the same: a preposition followed by a determiner and an adjective or two followed by a pronoun or noun (called the object of the preposition).

This whole phrase, in turn, takes on a modifying role, acting as an adjective or an adverb, locating something in time and space, modifying a noun, or telling when or where or under what conditions something happened....

==Examples==
You can sit '''''before''''' the desk OR '''''in front''' of'' the desk.

The professor can sit '''''on''''' the desk (when he's being informal) or '''''behind''''' the desk, and then his feet are '''''under''''' the desk or '''''beneath''''' the desk.

He can stand '''''beside''''' the desk (meaning '''''next''' to'' the desk), '''''before''''' the desk, '''between''' the desk and you, or even '''''on''''' the desk (if he's really strange).

Here are examples of prepositions and their meaning :

* Prepositions indicate relationships between other words in a sentence.
* Many prepositions tell you where something is or when something happened.
* Most prepositions have several definitions, so the meaning changes quite a bit in different contexts.
* Ending a sentence with a preposition is not a grammatical error.

Language/Portuguese/Grammar/How-to-Use-Be

2018-03-07T11:49:30Z

Meris17: Um entendimento mais amplo a respeito do verbo TO BE

Pronome Personal - To be verb in portuguese

Pronomes pessoais - Verbo ser e estar em portugues

Eu Sou-Estou

Tu- ÉS - Tens

Ele ou Ela- É - está

Nos -Somos - Estamos

Vos - Sois - Tendes

Ele sou elas - Sao - Estao

== O que é o tal do verbo ''to be?'' ==
Ah sim, o verbo '''''to be''''', aquele que aprendemos na quinta, sexta, sétima e oitava série! ''“Por que será que todo ano temos que aprender o tal do verbo to be”'', perguntam-se os alunos. O motivo é que o verbo to be é o principal verbo da língua inglesa, principalmente porque ele serve de base para muitas outras estruturas gramaticais. O problema é que, embora seja um verbo simples, quando mal ensinado, o verbo ''to be'' pode causar muita confusão.

'''O verbo ''to be'' significa ''ser ou estar''.''' Ele é usado para descrever condições, estados, etc., em frases como ''“Eu estou feliz”'', ''“Ela é muito bonita”'', ''“Eles são jovens”'', ''“Nós estamos estudando”'', etc. Porém, antes de focar no sentido do verbo ''to be'', precisamos entender um conceito muito simples, porém ainda assim muito útil: '''todos os verbos em inglês, quando estão no infinitivo, têm um “to” na frente.''' Por exemplo:

'''to drink''' – beber
'''to eat''' – comer
'''to go''' – ir
'''to speak''' – falar
'''to be''' – ser/estar

Quando usamos os pronomes (eu, você, ele, ela, nós, etc) junto com os verbos, esse ''“'''to'''“'' desaparece. Assim, falamos '''''I speak''' (Eu falo)'' e não '''''I to speak''''', '''''You go''' (Você vai)'', e não '''''You to go''''', e assim por diante. Porém, o verbo ''to be'' é especial, pois não falamos '''''I be''', '''You be''', '''He be''''', etc. Ele é um verbo que funciona diferente de todos os outros verbos da língua inglesa

Meris17: Tips

{{Trad-English/Vocabulary/How-to-Write-a-Good-CV}}

[[File:good_cv.jpg|thumb]]

'''You will find below essential tips to make a good CV:'''
== Highlight your skills and experience==
You need to highlight in your resume your '''key skills''' and experience. If you have a lot of professional experience, consider the '''latest''' and focus on those the most related to the position. Think about the skills and knowledge that the recruiter is likely to search for this position, and try to recreate them in different sections of your resume.

== Be different from others==
Your CV must '''differentiate''' from others as its design and its content.
Start by downloading an '''example below''' :

[http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/documents/curriculum-vitae/templates-instructions CV template examples in several languages]

== One page==
As a general rule a CV must consist of '''one single page'''. However, in some cases a CV of 2 pages will be tolerated (many professional experiences, specific professional field...).

== Specify for each position, your missons and tasks==
The recruiter will be able to get a better idea of all the '''skills and knowledge''' you have been able to practice during your past professional experiences.

== Briefly describe your professional experiences.==
Name and company size, sector of activity, start date and end date of the contract, position, your responsibilities, tasks performed, your positive results, the number of people you had to manage...

== Be honest==
'''Do not lie''' in your resume because it might eventually catch up to you. Keep in mind that everything you mentioned in your CV may be the subject of questions from the recruiter which ultimately will make you fall into your own trap.

== Accept criticism==
Feel free to '''show''' your resume to several people (friends, relatives, family ...) to collect their criticisms, to improve it.

== Specify the level of your skills==
Your '''language levels''' (Spanish, English ...) or computer (Word, Excel, Photoshop ...), etc.

== Contact Information==
Enter all '''contact information''' by which the recruiter will contact you (email, phone, skype ...).

==Videos==
===Part 1===
<youtube>U0JAfqEak2c</youtube>

===Part 2===
<youtube>qSwW6Xbux9c</youtube>

'''Tips'''

=== 1 ===
The profile gives a clear high-level explanation of the candidate's experience including the industries she has worked in and the seniority of the people she supports.

It also summarises the most important tasks that she covers in her roles - such as internal communications and professional documentation.

=== 2 ===
The core skills highlight important business support duties that employers will be looking for, such as typing at speed, diary management and call handling.

These bullet points jump out at the reader upon opening the CV - instantly showing the candidate's suitability.

=== 3 ===
Role descriptions start with a brief outline that tells readers what the employer does, who the candidates supports within the business and they type of work being supported.

Bullet pointed responsibilities go on to describe regular activities such as arranging internal events, recording client data and travel arrangement - and also show how these actions help managers and the business as a whole.

=== 4 ===
Older roles are squeezed down to short summaries in order to keep the CV short whilst giving employers just enough information to see the candidate's background.

=== 5 ===
Education is kept brief and highlights the qualifications that are important to hiring managers in the business support field, such as Secretarial Diploma and Advanced Legal Communications.

Language/Portuguese/Vocabulary/How-to-Say-Good-Bye

2017-08-29T12:04:27Z

Meris17: New expression

Hello everyone, my name is henry and I am a brazilian who'd llike to dhare with you some informal ways to say good bye over here in Brazil.

==Tchau tchau==

If you are learning portuguese, even if you're in the basics, you probably already knows that "tchau" means goodbye or simply bye. But to sound more like a native you'd like to know that saying only "tchau" may sound like a cold bye, so here are two tips: 1 try prolonging the "a" in a growing way something kinda "tchaAu" and then a smile :) 2nd tip: say "tchau" twice, here in Brazil this is common as much as sand in the desert, and of course don't forget to smile (we are a very afectionated people).

==Valeu!==

this literally means that something had a value, so it means thanks and also a bye. It's common to use that after being helped.

==Falou / Falous==

this is a nice one. the translation is "spoke" but guess what? it means bye as well. It's common using this after a "valeu". PS: you can try putting a S at the end so you can sound even more like a native.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

In portuguese we say "Te vejo logo" when you hope to see someone in a few time.

Language/English/Vocabulary/Best-Songs-to-Learn

Meris17: New song

[[File:learn-english-with-songs.jpg|thumb]]

Hi guys!

I am so happy to be able to help you learn some vocabulary in English in a very simple and fun way.

I think one of the best ways to achieve this and not get bored is with easy-to-understand songs and easy-to-remember lyrics.

So, here below I will be giving you some songs that at some point helped me.

Don't expect to understand 100% the song the first time.

Listen to it and try to distinguish some words.

Then you can look at the lyrics and their translation. And you will see how the song is clearing in your head.

I hope to be helpful.

Good luck.

==If I fell (The Beatles)==
<youtube>https://youtu.be/YTnmuVyMqUg</youtube>

===Lyrics===

If I fell in love with you, would you promise to be true and help me understand?

'Cause I've been in love before, and I found that love was more than just holdin' hands.

If I give my heart to you I must be sure from the very start that you would love me more than her.

If I trust in you, oh, please don't run and hide. If I love you too, oh, please don't hurt my pride like her.

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain and I would be sad if our new love was in vain.

So I hope you see that Iwould love to love you. And that she will cry when she learns we are two.

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain and I would be sad if our new love was in vain.

So I hope you see that I would love to love you.
And that she will cry when she learns we are two. If I fell in love with you

===Translation===

Si me enamoro de ti, ¿prometes ser sincera y ayudarme a entender?

Porque ya he estado enamorado y encontre que el amor es más que solo tomarnos de la mano.

Si te entrego mi corazón do de estar seguro desde el principio qe tú me amaras más que ella.

Si confío en ti, oh, por favor no corras y te escondas.

Si te amo también, oh, por favor, no lastimes mi orgullo como ella.

Porque no puedo soportar el dolor y yo me pondría triste si supiera que el amor es en vano.

Así que espero que veas que yo amaría amarte.

Y que ella llorará cuando sepa que somos dos.

Porque no puedo soportar el dolor y yo me pondría triste si
supiera nuestro nuevo amor es en vano. Así que espero que veas que yo amaría amarte. Y que ella llorará cuando sepa que somos dos.

Si me enamoro de ti...

==The feeling (Justin Bieber)==
<youtube>https://youtu.be/tIfNNCu0gMs</youtube>

===Lyrics===
You are to me a part of me just like anatomy. You're pulling me, you're pulling me in like you're gravity.

I'm notorious for thinking you're full of beautiful, instead of hollow. Sugar on your lips, it's hard to kill, jagged like a pill, so hard to swallow.

Am I in love with you? (Am I in love with you?) Or am I in love with the feeling? Trying to find the truth (trying to find the truth) But sometimes the heart is deceiving.

Can't get out of my head, I need you to save me. If I am delusional then maybe I'm crazy. In love with you, am I in love with you? Or am I in love with the feeling?

You give to me everything, anything that I could dream. And at least that's what it seems, could it be I don't know what's good for me?

I'm notorious for thinking you're full of beautiful, instead of hollow. Sugar on your lips, it's hard to kill, jagged like a pill, so hard to swallow.

Am I in love with you? (Am I in love with you?) Or am I in love with the feeling? Trying to find the truth (trying to find the truth) But sometimes the heart is deceiving.

Can't get out of my head, I need you to save me. If I am delusional then maybe I'm crazy. In love with you, am I in love with you? Or am I in love with the feeling?

I'm sinking faster and faster between heaven and disaster. Sorry if I made you feel like I'm standing on the borderline.

Am I in love with you? (Am I in love with you?) Or am I in love with the feeling? Trying to find the truth (trying to find the truth) But sometimes the heart is deceiving.

Can't get out of my head, I need you to save me. If I am delusional then maybe I'm crazy. In love with you, am I in love with you? Or am I in love with the feeling?

===Translation===

Tú eres para mí, una parte de mí como la anatomía. Me estas jalando, me estas jalando dentro como si fueras gravedad.

Me doy cuenta de que pienso que estas llena de hermosura, en vez de hueca. Azúcar en tus labios, es difícil de matar, serado como una píldora, tan difícil de tragar.

¿Estoy enamorado de ti? (¿Estoy enamorado de ti?) ¿O estoy enamorado del sentimiento? Intentando encontrar la verdad, intentando encontrar la verdad. Pero a veces el corazón es engañoso.

No puedo sacarlo de mi cabeza, necesito que me salves. Si soy delusivo entonces puede que este loco. ¿Estoy enamorado de ti? (¿Estoy enamorado de ti?) ¿O estoy enamorado con el sentimiento?

Tú me das todo, lo que sea que podría soñar. Y al menos eso es lo que parece, ¿podría ser no sé lo que es bueno para mí?

Me doy cuenta de que pienso que estas llena de hermosura, en vez de hueca. Azúcar en tus labios, es difícil de matar, serado como una píldora, tan difícil de tragar.

¿Estoy enamorado de ti? (¿Estoy enamorado de ti?) ¿O estoy enamorado del sentimiento? Intentando encontrar la verdad, intentando encontrar la verdad. Pero a veces el corazón es engañoso.

No puedo sacarlo de mi cabeza, necesito que me salves. Si soy delusivo entonces puede que este loco. ¿Estoy enamorado de ti? (¿Estoy enamorado de ti?) ¿O estoy enamorado con el sentimiento?

Me estoy hundiendo más y más rápido entre el cielo y el desastre. Lo siento si te hice sentir como si estuviera en la línea limite.

¿Estoy enamorado de ti? (¿Estoy enamorado de ti?) ¿O estoy enamorado del sentimiento? Intentando encontrar la verdad, intentando encontrar la verdad. Pero a veces el corazón es engañoso.

No puedo sacarlo de mi cabeza, necesito que me salves. Si soy delusivo entonces puede que este loco. ¿Estoy enamorado de ti? (¿Estoy enamorado de ti?) ¿O estoy enamorado con el sentimiento?

==Brick by boring birck (Paramore)==
<youtube>https://youtu.be/A63VwWz1ij0</youtube>

===Lyrics===
She lives in a fairy tale, somewhere too far for us to find. Forgotten the taste and smell of the world that she's left behind.

It's all about the exposure the lens I told her. The angles were all wrong now she's ripping wings off of butterflies.

Keep your feet on the ground, when your head's in the clouds.

Well go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle, bury the castle. Go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle, bury the castle.

Ba da ba ba
da ba ba ha

So one day he found her crying coiled up on the dirty ground. Her prince finally came to save her, and the rest you can figure out.
But it was a trick, and the clock struck twelve.
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick or the wolf's gonna
blow it down.

Keep your feet on the ground, when your head's in the clouds.

Well go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle, bury the castle.
Go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle, bury the
castle.

Well you built up a world of magic because your real life is tragic. Yeah, you built up a world of magic. If it's not real, you can't hold it in your hand, you can't feel it with your heart. And I won't believe it. But if it's true, you can see it with your eyes, oh, even in the dark. And that's where I want to be, yeah.

Go get your
shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle, bury the castle. Go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle, bury the
castle.

===Translation===

Ella vive en un cuento de hadas, en algún lugar demasiado lejano como para que la encontremos. Ha olvidado el sabor y el olor de un mundo que ha dejado atrás.

Está todo relacionado con la exposición, la lente (con la que fotografías), le dije. Las lentes estaban mal, ahora ella está arrancando las alas a las mariposas.

Mantén tus pies en el suelo, cuando tienes la cabeza en las
nubes.

Bien, ve a conseguir tu pala, y cavaremos un agujero
profundo, para enterrar el castillo, enterrar el castillo. Ve a conseguir tu pala, y cavaremos un agujero profundo, para enterrar el
castillo, enterrar el castillo.

Ba da ba ba da ba ba ha

Así que un día, él la encontró llorando, enrollada sobre el sucio suelo. Su príncipe al final vino a salvarla, y el resto, se lo pueden imaginar. Pero era una trampa, y el reloj dio las doce. Bien, asegúrate de construir tu hogar pesadamente ladrillo a ladrillo, o vendrá el lobo y lo derribará soplando.

Mantén tus pies en el suelo, cuando tienes la cabeza en las nubes.

Bien, ve a conseguir tu pala, y cavaremos un agujero profundo, para enterrar el castillo, enterrar el castillo. Ve a conseguir tu pala, y cavaremos un agujero profundo, para enterrar el castillo, enterrar el castillo.

Bien, construiste un mundo de magia, porque tu vida real es trágica. Sí, construiste un mundo de magia. Si no es real, no puedes sostenerlo en tu mano, no puedes sentirlo con tu corazón. Y yo no me lo creeré. Pero si es de verdad puedes verlo con tus ojos, oh, incluso en la oscuridad. Y ahí es donde yo quiero estar, sí.

Ve a conseguir tu pala, y cavaremos un agujero profundo, para enterrar el castillo, enterrar el castillo. Ve a conseguir tu pala, y cavaremos un agujero profundo, para enterrar el castillo, enterrar el castillo.

Meris17: Some questions to help in a travel

'''What are the reasons to go live in Porgual?'''

[[File:live_in_portugal.jpg|500px]]

== Climate ==
The climate is generally temperate. The Atlantic influence brings mildness and moisture to the coastal area and beyond.
Temperatures are higher in the interior, where summers can be very hot and winters harsh.
In the south, winters are milder and seawater is perfect for swimming.

For example, here is the Climate of [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Lisbon/ Lisbon]

=== Winter ===
It is common to wear a t-shirt in December or January on a sunny terrace.
At night it can be chilly with temperatures around 10 degrees, but during the day in the sun, it is not uncommon to reach 20-25 degrees!

=== Fall and Spring===
Autumn and spring are known for their rainy periods, but always with very pleasant temperatures and frequent hot days.

=== Summer===
The atmosphere in August is slightly warmer than in July, although at first glance, the climatic conditions are identical. While in the north, the climate is perfect, in the south, the heat may disturb the most sensitive.

== Gastronomy ==

Portugal is full of culinary treasures!

With centuries of colonization around the world, the Portuguese gastronomy has become internationalized.

bom apetite!

Here are some of the best dishes:

=== Bacalhau ===
Fried as an appetizer or in pieces for dishes. An old proverb says that there are more Bacalhau recipes ("morue" in Portuguese) as days in the year.

[[File:bacalau.jpg|200px]]
=== Sardinhas===
With 1800 km of coastline, Portugal loves fishes. Cod obviously, but also sardines, seafood and all that can bring the Atlantic.

[[File:Sardinhas.jpg|200px]]

See more [http://www.topito.com/top-specialites-portugaises-morue-bom-apetite/ delicious dishes].

== The cost of living ==
The cost of living is sometimes underestimated by Europeans who wish to settle there.
As an example, check what are the [http://portugal-installation-conseil.fr/quel-est-le-vrai-cout-vie-au-portugal/ differences in cost of living between France and Portugal].

== Taxation==

The Portuguese Government appealed to French pensioners by offering them total tax exemption for a period of ten years after the first installation. The main condition to benefit from this scheme is advantageous to reside at least 6 months per year in Portugal. Once this period of ten years past, you will be subject to the progressive tax system. This plan provides a progressive raise with a maximum rate of 56.5% for income above 250,000 euros per year. This system is however not possible for civil servants.

== The mentality and culture ==

Admittedly, unlike some cultures where you feel like making a new friend at first contact, Portuguese are perhaps a bit more distant at first. Actually, it is just respect, politeness ... But as soon as you overpass the first hurdle, that is to say from the second contact, then you know you got yourself a contact that will last over time, someone who you can really ask for help in case of need a helping hand, someone who will open you the doors of his home with pride ...

The Portuguese are really welcoming in their own way, proud of their country, the history of their country, proud that people can be interested in their culture. Exchange with them is a real pleasure.

==The Language==
Although many Portuguese speak foreign languages, from beginner to advanced level, it will be important to learn the language as soon as possible. It's a matter of respect and integration.

== The size of the country==
If you compare a country the size of Portugal to countries like Canada and Australia, you realize the advantages of living in a small country!
There is a multitude of things to see near you; every weekend, you can discover something new, just driving 20 kilometers. In continent-like country, you will rather have to drive several hours to see something new, because basically, if you're just riding a few tens of kilometers, you will land in the middle of nowhere.

==The location ==
Portugal is wedged between Spain and the Atlantic Ocean. You're never far from the sea wherever you are in Portugal! And better yet, you have easy access to the wonderful Portuguese and Spanish archipelagos!
Sea, mountain, city, countryside, villages, hills ... you have everything for everyone! And all this on a very small space, so you can access everything easily!

== Administrative procedures==
If you want to move to Portugal, for example for your retirement, you must comply with administrative formalities in order to realize this dream. It is not necessary to obtain a residence visa to spend his retirement in Portugal. It is possible to spend 180 days a year in Portugal provided to request authorization 90 days from the date of expiry of the first 90 days. Portuguese non residents must then apply for a residence permit to stay in Portugal beyond the 180-day period. A registration certificate for a period of five years is then delivered to the recipient. If you really want to stay in the country, you can also apply for permanent residence after having resided legally in the country for a period of at least five years.

== The disadvantages ==
Portugal certainly has many advantages, but it is not blameless.
Some disadvantages must be studied carefully before deciding to settle there. The health system is, for example, not as good as in France.
Moreover the inhabitants of large cities might be somewhat disappointed by the cultural offer of the country, except perhaps Lisbon and Porto.

We can use a lot of expressions to travel.
