Amazing Dubstep

So I should show you something really scary today, but then I came across this video, and it is not scary at all. It is, however, completely and utterly fascinating! I know many of you like to dance, so this video should thrill you all. Enjoy! (This post has nothing to do with English, but it deals with an even more universal language: DANCE!)

If Money Was No Object

Doing the conversations with you and your parents these days, makes me think about how lucky we all are to live in a part of the world that hands us choices. Choices of studies, jobs, friends and many other things. Still, all of these possibilities come with a lot of worries of choosing the right thing for you, and I can see that many of you worry about not being good enough or about closing doors too early in your lives. If you did not have to think about money in the future, what would you choose to do?

Take a look at this very smart lecture.

Brainy Babies

I just came across this article about kindergartens that test the kids to find out if they are smart enough to attend their school. This is SO different from the policy we have in Norway, where everyone should attend the same school no matter how high their IQ is. Still, I find it interesting that other countries do it differently. Here are some of the tests the children have to answer correctly! How well do you do?

Anglocreep?

In Norway we are constantly debating if we use too many English words when we speak. (I am terrible at this by the way). Who knew, that this is a debate in America as well, that they are using too many British words! How funny!! Alex Williams, the husband of one of my favorite bloggers Joanna Goddard, wrote a really funny article about this in the NY Times. Read it here!

America From The Air

I have not forgotten about you! But you know how busy our days are, and sometimes I just cannot find the time to update. I will try to continue this blog, if you want me to! But I cannot promise daily updates... Today I am sharing with you a lovely video, that takes you from coast to coast of the USA. Any places you recognize? Enjoy!
