#32 Know Your World: The illusion of choice
โถ๏ธ Our supermarkets are full of colourful products. We have a dazzling (=very impressive) choice. Or do we? Yes and no. Most products are actually made by the same few companies. They hide behind different brands, grab shelf space, control prices, advertise heavily, buy up competitors and even make the cheaper no-name products just to keep other companies out.
Europe and America are very much in the hands of these big companies and theyโre doing everything to get bigger in other parts of the world, too.

#133 Our favourite mistakes: Writing
โถ๏ธ Look at this sentence:
If I get a chance to travel I want to go to America, Europe, Japan, Australia.
โ Whatโs wrong here?
โ๏ธ In a list of items (enumeration) there should be โandโ before the last item, not a comma. It should be America, Europe, Japan and Australia.
โ๏ธ The only exception to that is newspaper headlines where you can find things like โAgreement signed between Russia, Ukraineโ.

#7 Travel Notes: Wannabe Europe
โถ๏ธ ๐ฌ๐ชGeorgia was recently hoping to become an official candidate country to join the ๐ช๐บEuropean Union but โ oh no! โ was refused. Maybe it will take another 10 years, who knows. That doesnโt stop Georgians from expressing their enthusiasm (=strong feeling of interest and enjoyment) for Europe.
