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, by using MailVu you
have to record a two minutes video of yourself describing at least two 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 URL of your video to the blog to share it with your classmates
(Remember that other formats won’t be accepted). 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: Hello, my name is Yenny Alexandra Pinilla and 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.
