New assignment #2

Today I listened to a BBC podcast called ,,A Point of View'' hosted by Tom Shakespeare. The episode I chose was titled ,,A Change of Tack". In the segment the host talked about how changing your mind shouldn't be seen as a weakness. I agree with everything Tom Shakespeare said in that episode. I think that uncertainty is good, just like the host said - we are only certain when we don't know much about what we're talking about. We shouldn't be afraid to change our minds, after all, changing our minds only proves that we are indeed thinking creatures. It shows that we've actually put in time and effort into an idea, that we thought it through and that it was important to us. Changing our minds only shows that we are flexible, we can listen and admit our mistakes.

Today I watched a video on a death of Princess Diana. The video indicates that her death was not an accident. It explains how Princess Diana was thought of as a rebel in the royal household and how she even had a falling out with Queen Elizabeth. Princess Diana also divorced her royal husband what was never heard of before. There are many conpiracy theories on what was the actual cause of Diana's death and who was involved in it. Some people even say that she got out of the car accident fine with just a broken leg, yet she mysteriously died in the hospital. to take one for the team - poświęcić się, The bodyguard took one for the team. to dine - jeść kolację, They wanted to dine smoewhere else. a swarm - chmara, There was a swarm of paparazzis outside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyyvcCOntNA

Today I saw a video on how to get a job at Google. The video showed some questions you could possibly be asked at a Google interview. The questions were tottaly unpredictable and surprising. Some of them were: ,,How many times a day do a clock's hands overlap?'' or ,,How do you share a pirate treasure?''. As it turns out Google are not only looking for well educated people, they are also trying to find people who can think outside of the box. A person who could fuse those two demands would be perfect for them. overlap - nakładać się na siebie, Two of my classes overlap, I don't know which one to choose. to toss a coin - rzucać monetą,  I couldn't decide so I tossed a coin. a tuner - stroiciel?, I took my piano to a tuner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgCIcfUhmCQ&t=267s

Do you think £600 per night at the Mandarin Oriental is a good value for money?

 £600 seems like quite an absurd price to pay for a night at a hotel. Many people work incredibly hard to make that amount of money. However at the same time there are people who wouldn't even hesitate before spending a night at the Mandarin Oriental for even more money. The salary that people earn all over the world is very diverse. A difference in worth of each currency all across the world is also quite significant. For example most of Americans wouldn't care much for a dollar when in some other country one dollar is worth quite a lot. Despite that, the fact that £600 per night at a hotel is quite much is undeniable.
