Ok, we returned a couple of weeks ago, but I really didn't have much to post about.
This year I want to start with a video that's slightly harder than usual, but I think it's a great poem and it definitely stresses a good point --it's important to speak your mind clearly, and be precise!
a) What is the capital of India? b) What is its population? c) Which Indian language has the largest percentage of speakers? d) Go to the economy section. What percentage of the population in Indian live on less than 2 dollars a day? e) Go to the religions section. What are the two most important religions in India? f) Search on wikipedia what Bollywood is. g) Now go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/81st_Academy_Awards. How many nominations did Slumdog Millionaire have? How many did it win? h) Watch the trailer. What can you tell us about the setting, the characters and the story?
The expression "Think outside the box", in English, means that you have to think differently and be creative to be noticed.
I thought of this expresion today when I saw this article. It is about people who decided to make their resumes (also called curriculum vitae) a bit more interesting than the usual ones.
I know some of you are already thinking of looking for a job, so maybe this will inspire you!
