Practice in Class

Practice at translating two texts. One into Portuguese involving new digital-age terminology (troll, trolling, website, online) and one into English involving the Portuguese technique of avoiding repetition (comboio, composição ferroviária; carro, veículo ligeiro de passageiros). Mention of translation of land description (concelho) with the best choice (from among many poor ones) perhaps being to use the English term "borough" as it is vague and wide-ranging enough to be non-specific.
