#130 Our favourite mistakes: Writing
▶️ Please translate the following items:
Andijon davlat universiteti
Oksford universiteti nashriyoti
Jahon savdo tashkiloti
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
Andijan state university
Oxford university press
World trade organisation
✅ Well, it should be:
Andijan State University
Oxford University Press
World Trade Organisation
❓Why?
❗️ Proper nouns in English are capitalised. If they consist of several words then all of the words are capitalised, not just the first word (unlike in Uzbek).

#5 Travel Notes: Christian Armenia
▶️ Think what you want about religion but I find it fascinating to observe people at their most spiritual moments. 🇦🇲Armenia is situated in the mountains. Mountain dwellers (=people who live in the mountains) around the world have always been more likely to preserve (=keep) ancient traditions and not follow current changes around them. Visiting an Armenian church or monastery (=religious building where monks or nuns live) therefore feels a little bit like travelling through time as well. It is quite unlike anything you find in the hustle and bustle (=noise and activity of a crowded place) of Europe or America.

#13 Must Watch: Hong Kong by Night
▶️ Switch off all the lights around you and embark (=start a journey, esp. on a ship or plane) on a nocturnal (=in the night) drone flight through sleepless Hong Kong. Impressive and humbling (=making you feel small) at once.

#43 Movie Time: Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984)
▶️ Today’s film is a 🇬🇧British drama based on George Orwell’s dystopian (=having a bad vision of the future) novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell wrote it in 1948, imagining what the world might be like in 1984 if things go very wrong. In this bad future people are kept in poverty and ignorance. They are brainwashed and under government surveillance (=watching and checking people) at all times. Even their language is changed to prevent them from thinking. Nineteen Eighty-Four serves as a warning for people to defend their freedom. In our age of technology, crises and mass hysteria (=many people getting crazy about sth) Orwell’s novel is ever more relevant.
Beware of (=warning sb to be careful) some strong scenes.
🔤 Subtitles provided.
