It's probably too late for this, but meh. Oliver Cromwell will be good seeing that his reputation is quite controversial amongst different peoples; an Irishman will think very differently of him to an Englishman, and I am sure historians have debated about this and his role in the history of...

Re: Help! Please! I am trying to analyse this source but don't know what this quote m What the quote is saying is that to be a good soldier you need to have tough and strong shoulders, back, and core body strength to carry all your gear and to 'grunt' through it and to be not bright enough to...

Can't you study at Open University Australia? They'll accept you for most courses regardless of your ATAR. In the UK, thousands of adults who wanted intellectual stimulation or qualifications but who have not had the necessary academic requirements to earn a spot in their local uni have earned...

English and Scots are very similar. The two languages are both Germanic and Scots has Anglo-Saxon roots. You can compare them here- English- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language Scots- http://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_leid I think you are confusing Scots with Scottish...

Just out of curiosity, when do you speak Scots? Most Scottish people who don't speak Gaelic would just speak English instead of Scots because of the high familiarity between the two languages, right?

It would have made a sound wave some time in the process, so technically yes, in my opinion. Just because we couldn't register it doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't make a noise. It's like saying that the Sun doesn't exist because a blind person can't see it, which is evidently not true...

I'm just pointing out that the squabbling, abuse, and intimidation prevalent on this particular board aren't really necessary since our posts aren't going to make a positive difference to the world. I wasn't attacking you, mate, if you got that impression. Cheers.

To be honest, I think you should go to McGill only for postgraduate study instead of as an undergraduate student, unless if your family is going to move and live in Québec or if you already have Canadian citizenship. I reckon you should go to McGill as an exchange student first whilst in...

Nice find. It's a shame they were abusing each other mostly in English instead of Québécois French--the French Canadians are hilarious when they express their anger with their unique native tongue. I probably would have laughed my ass off if one of them shrieked, 'Tabernac!' amid the fracas. I'm...

'Flowers for Algernon' by Daniel Keyes. It doesn't really matter whether you read the short version or the long version, unless if you are a bit of a prude. If so, I recommend you read the shorter version.

Tell the teacher in future if this happens. Imagine for a while if you studied your ass off and sacrificed a lot in preparation for a test and actually got the marks to come first in the test, yet you got ostensibly beaten by another classmate who kept her/his mouth shut about the teacher...

The main thing you could do, together with doing as many past papers as possible, to improve both your reading and writing is to read a lot of French. It's as simple as that. READ! However, you should read French that doesn't have wanky language and not many of those simple past tense verbs (you...

Have a look through the threads on this board. There are many threads on here that have asked the same question you have asked. It doesn't really make a significant difference if the advice is for someone doing French at Continuers level or Extension level. Follow the advice given there and...

That video is just one perspective, mate, and I posted it up mainly because I found it funny, not because I wanted to attack you. Everybody views things differently. Some people enjoy the job of being a teacher, while others hate it and look down on it. Some people enjoy being hairdressers...

Sorry, if I have caused you any offence. I didn't mean to. The reasons why I made that lengthy post are mainly because I care about you as you remind me of myself a few years back, and that I worry that you're making such a plan concrete without knowing some essential facts first. If I didn't...

I did OHS French Continuers last year for the HSC. I found the course the most enjoyable out of all my subjects and the most intellectually stimulating, but then again I was lucky in having an awesome teacher who wasn't very strict in regards to forcing me to follow the timetable set to do the...

OK, that's cool. I just want to make it clear to you that I am not recommending you to drop this whole thing. I want you to mature a little first before making this plan concrete. You're only in year 9, mate. You are still probably looking at life through rose-coloured glasses, thinking that...

The English subtitles will help you somewhat if you can connect the French words spoken to the English translation in the text, however a much better way to improve your listening skills would be to find a movie dubbed in French with French subtitles included as well. And, just in case you are...

Just out of curiosity, where are you going to stay in the UK? Do you know how much it would cost for the whole thing (even if your parents are going to pay for all of it, take this into consideration)? How well familiarised are you in English culture? Are you prepared to be tangibly separated...
