Test

Well, the test was easy for me. I think I only made two mistakes. We had to write about our families and I used jego instead of jej in a sentence about my mothers brother. Joan thinks she got about 70 percent right.

The day was just like Wednesday, cold, windy and constant rain so the walk to the school was not nice. However, today there was some kind of parade in Pozna艅. When we left the school and walked toward the castle of S.W. Marcin street we heard music. As we approached the castle it got louder and we heard a choir singing the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. In front of the castle a marching band was assembled and ready to move. It was pouring rain but they were standing in it and waiting. The music was very nice to hear and it stayed with us until we reached the underground tunnel that takes us to the bus stop.

We got there just in time for bus 69 to arrive and we eagerly boarded it and rode it to Marcelinska street where we get off. Like I said before, public transportation in Pozna艅 is excellent. The busses all have designated areas for women with baby carriages.

Earlier in the day we went to the office where we have to file again our residency. We didn't have any problems but the government service people could use a course in courtesy. It seems to be a problem in all countries. These people are in the service of the people but make you feel like they are doing you a favor by helping you. I've experienced the same thing in the U.S. so it's not just a "Polish" problem.


Dobrze, test by艂 艂atwy dla mnie. My艣l臋 tylko zrobi艂em dwie pomy艂ki. Musieli艣my napisa膰 o naszych rodzinach i u偶ywa艂em jego zamiast jej w zdaniu {wyroku} o moim bracie matek. Joan my艣li, 偶e ona poruszy艂a si臋 70 procent w prawo.

Dzie艅 by艂 w艂a艣nie jak 艣roda, zimny, wystawiony na wiatr i sta艂y deszcz tak spacer do szko艂y nie by艂 mi艂y. Jednak dzisiaj tam by艂 troch臋 rodzaju parady w Pozna艅. Kiedy opu艣cili艣my szko艂臋 i chodzili艣my ku zamkowi S.W. Marcin ulica us艂yszeli艣my muzyk臋. Jak zbli偶yli艣my si臋 do zamku to dosta艂o si臋 g艂o艣niejszy i us艂yszeli艣my, jak ch贸r za艣piewa艂 ostatni ruch o Beethoven Dziewi膮tej Symfonii. Przed zamkiem maszeruj膮ce pas by艂o zebrane i gotowy by ruszy膰 si臋. To by艂 ulewny deszcz ale oni stali w tym i czekali. Muzyka by艂a bardzo mi艂a by us艂ysze膰 i to pozosta艂o z nami a偶 osi膮gn臋li艣my podziemny tunel, kt贸ry bierze nas do przystanku autobusowego.

Dostali艣my si臋 tam w sam膮 por臋 dla autobusu 69 by przyby膰 i z zapa艂em wsiedli艣my to i je藕dzili艣my tym do Marcelinska ulicy gdzie schodzimy. Jak powiedzia艂em przedtem, publiczny przew贸z w Pozna艅 b臋dzie doskona艂y. Ca艂usy wszystkie wyznaczy艂y obszary dla kobiet z w贸zkami dzieci臋cymi.
Wcze艣niej w dniu poszli艣my do biura gdzie musimy w艂o偶y膰 znowu nasz膮 rezydencj臋. Nie mieli艣my 偶adnych problem贸w ale ludzie us艂ugi rz膮du mogliby u偶y膰 kursu w kurtuazji. To wydaje si臋 by膰 problem we wszystkich krajach. Ci ludzie s膮 w us艂udze ludzi ale robi膮 czujesz ochot臋 na oni robi膮 tobie wzgl臋dy przez pomaganie tobie. Do艣wiadczy艂em tej samej rzeczy w Stanach Zjednoczonych tak to nie jest w艂a艣nie "polski" problem.
