Evidence: Blog “Pet peeves”

“A pet peeve is a particular thing that bugs, or bothers you every time it
happens. A peeve is an annoyance, and a pet peeve is an annoyance that's
nurtured like a pet - it's something someone can never resist complaining
about”. (Vocabulary, s.f.).
This evidence is divided into two parts. For the first part, you have to record a
video of yourself describing at least three pet peeves you have, what they make
you feel, and what you usually do while experiencing them. Then, you have to
describe that last time you experienced each of them. Use the list of adjectives
for feelings, emotions, situations, and people in the study material for reference.
For the second part, you have to upload the video to the blog to share it with
your classmates. You also need to comment at least two videos made by two of
them. If somebody comments on your video, make sure to respond.

Example: One of my pet peeves is drivers who don't use a turn signal. It really
makes me angry. I usually ride my bike around the city and I have to deal with
reckless people daily. Yesterday, for example, on my way home, this very
impatient taxi driver nearly ran over me. He made a quick turn without using a
turn signal and totally ignored the bike path. When I yelled at him, he didn’t do
anything. He didn’t even look ashamed. I almost kicked his car, but I decided
against it. It is better to avoid this kind of problems. I have a family that cares for
me.

Hello teacher

One of the things that bothers me most when I drive on the streets is:

 the lack of respect that exists in the avenues from the vehicles to the
motorized ones, the drivers of the vehicles do not take us into account,
which causes many accidents where there are many collisions involving
motorists.

 It really makes me angry that drivers do not respect traffic sings and
regulations such as the stop, Tuesday I had a mishap when a car driver
jumped a stop thing that almost ends in accident.

 Many drivers also do not consider the pedestrians who are the most
important actors on the avenues

 My advice to all drivers is to try to be more tolerant in the ways respect

traffic rules to avoid accidents in this way
