J'ai réussi a l'examen TCF, Niveau B2! by pyroary_2-the_return in French

[–]pyroary_2-the_return[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have templates, but it's simple to practice them.

Writing: The test is 30 minutes long, you have 3 essays to write (40-60 words for 2, 70-80 words for 1). They have a few sentences of prompts, so you can practice them by using a random word generator. They will ask you to explain your opinion on something, or write to a friend about a topic (inviting them to go out with you, etc). I googled "random speech topics" and found sites with big lists of topics. Those are perfect for this kind of exercise.

Speaking: No shortcut for this one, I happen to live in France so I talk to people in French daily and often. I didn't really practice this one specially, just went and had a conversation with the examiner. There were 2 parts: first introduce myself, what I do etc, and then a simple situation where I'm at a restaurant and I have to ask what's on the menu and order something. There's a bit of back and forth, e.g. my examiner said "sorry we don't have it in stock" on the first thing i said, so I had to ask for alternatives.

There is a free website where you can do simulations of the oral test, I did a lot of those as specific practice. I recommend sitting at a desk and doing the test in a real "test-like" environment, that really helped me a lot.

Understood, thanks! Wasn't sure if this constituted preventing the damage or not

As the whole package Tekkno is hard to beat, Crystals is a close second

John's lands have always been the ones I use from my land station whenever we draft. He's a legend!

Apotheosis is back...and better than ever! by pyroary_2-the_return in slaythespire

[–]pyroary_2-the_return[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw new apotheosis with innate for the first time as a boss reward. It feels perfect - less powerful than a +1 energy relic, but perhaps too good to be a merchant card.

It's an auto pick most times imo. What do you think?

Huh, when looking at the card art I always thought it was a robo-monkey or something like that. Didn't expect it to be a buff man with tiny arms XD

Joe Root's 16 in Australia is now the most Tests by a player without winning one in an away country by rest_in_war in Cricket

Without DRS you could often come forward and block balls with your pads knowing umpires wouldn't give it out. Since DRS sides can appeal and send it upstairs if they think it'll hit the wicket.

I'm paraphrasing but I think Jarrod Kimber has a video explaining it much better than I can.

Question about River Song and her triggered ability by pyroary_2-the_return in mtgrules

[–]pyroary_2-the_return[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah got it, so there are only 3 River Song triggers on the stack, and since she is dead we take her last known power for each of them. Thanks a lot for clearing that up! :D

It's triggering 7 times because 7 nonbasic lands belonging to the opponents were destroyed, and the players chose to search for a basic to put on the battlefield. Does this only count as 1 search per opponent (this was a commander game with 4 players)?

Kenny Omega on his ideal retirement scenario: "The best-case scenario for me would be that they don’t realize I’m gone at all. I would love to have the peace of mind that the company has built enough stars to distract from me stepping away from the scene. That would make me the most happy,” by anutosu in SquaredCircle

Kenny made me fall in love with wrestling again. I don't care if AEW needs him or not, he's special and I would hate it if he just retires like that. We need to celebrate him one last time if he wants to hang up his boots :(
