I think a good way to start thinking about it is to simply think what kind of work you could do. There are a lot of stuff you can do without having to speak the language perfectly or at all but they probably don't pay too well. I guess it all depends on what kind of experience you want and how...
Why not simplu reduce the price of healthy foods instead of threatening people with taxes or taking away health services. If we had a fat tax on food, it'd probably make peopel think twice before buying them. The cheapest foods are usually unhealthy ready-made foods when vegetables and fruit are...
I've sene quite a few operas but if I have to pick one, I'd pick Carmen. It's the perfect lesson of how you ruin things when you just don't believe when someone clearly tells you what's not good for you. I can think of many ways it's adaptable to real life, but with less killing :P
Someone outside Finland actually knows them...? :souka: I'm not really a fna of theirs, though, but everyone knwos their sonsg since they play them a lot when they play them. I hear they decided to break up.
In such light, if we are so keen to soread urban myths everywhere, why aren't we more interested in advertising something that isn't a myth, such as tolerance. After that we are all free to speculate with Europe vs. the Other, starting from the threat of arabic and Islamic nations invading...
Let me rephrase: a vocabulary that aims to be accurate in defining specific words for things that involve a more undefined concept is rather rigid and does require that we all have the same sort of thinking about what the word means. If I know what I mean by a certain idea, how can I know there...
I think raising such an issue in fact makes you think what it really is that you wish to change. Is it to create new words about something, wish people thought more like you or is it that you hope you didn't have to explain anything to people.
I suppose one obvious answer to why we don't have...
Well, after noticing that the discussion seems to have come to a halt, I thought it would be interesting to introduce another point of view to the discussion. Namely, if the West specifically does nto owe all thsoe things to Islam, why do people claim they this is the case?
But if it isn't at...
I don't see how the first answer in example 1 directly leads to poor driving and drinking habits. Couldn't it also be that your partner is always on time and if he says he will be home at a certain time, he will be home. I'd be worried because my boyfriend would call me if he was that late -...
The test you described sounds a lot like the Finnish matriculation exam, which is done as the end of upper secondary school. I'm not quite sure to which countries or country the cheating applies, though. In general, I can see some benefit in such a test but it is rather expensive (and schools...
I like salmon soup. I have made this soup many times to friends form other countries and was a bit surprised when some of them said that it's not really even a soup -- more like a watery stew or something :D For this recepy, it depends how much you want to add the ingredients, I guess.
Salmon...
Carrot and feta cheese soup
500g carrots
1 onion
5dl vegetable/meat stock
1dl cream
100g feta cheese
some thyme
1) Peel and chop up the carrots and the onion (cleaning the carrots is a nice idea too...:blush:).
2) Heat up the stock and add vegetables, boil until the carrots get soft enough...
In general, I find it extremely disappointing that people are sometimes simply unable to be nice. It doesn't take all that much effort, really :clueless:
I didn't read all of the discussion but perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the Arabic countries used to have a great significance but nowadays many people from those areas have fallen back behind the rest of the world. Another way of seeing it can be that since people adopt...
I can sympathize with the people who consider the French stuck up. I had a rather unfortunate encounter with a middle-aged French man in Italy who was quite impolite to me just because I exchanged a few words with my mother on the phone. Never annoy the French on their train ride :sorry:. He...
