It’s a game that I’ve never really understood, but that’s wonderful to watch. I’m talking about the bat-and-ball game of ‘cricket’. If you are interested in following a game one day, read the rules of cricket here beforehand (link to rulesofcricket.co.uk).
I was quite surprised to read that it was first played in southern England in the 16th century. Amazing!
You read in the newspaper: “Some overtime required.” So what does that mean?
It might mean that the company is looking for someone to work some time each night and some time each weekend! 😉
(Please do not take too seriously!)
So what kind of thinker are you? Are you more an interpersonal thinker, logical-mathematical thinker, linguistic thinker, intrapersonal thinker, naturalist thinker, existential thinker, musical thinker, spatial thinker or kinaesthetic thinker?
Get to know yourself a little better and complete the BBC’s quiz to find out what kind of thinker you are.
And why not write and tell me what you found out in the comment box below? I’d love to here from you.
In English we say that we live near a lake or a town or whatever. We do not translate ‘in der Nähe von’ as ‘in the near of’. That phrase just doesn’t exist (although I hear it again and again)!
I live near a supermarket, some small shops and the village primary school. And you?
Starting a presentation can be tricky. Carl Kwan tells us to start a presentation using an attention grabbing question or statement (such as ‘How can I/we/you …?). Now I think that this is an excellent way to get started.

Someone asked me to other day to explain the difference between ‘further‘ and ‘farther‘. So here we go …
‘Farther’ (with the word ‘far’ in it) refers to physical distance.
“My office is farther away from the entrance than yours.”
And ‘further’ refers to figurative distance.
“Does the product need further testing?”
I hope that helps.
