Hi, everybody! Three questions and a game this time.
Number 1: You want to create your own Europass CV. The EU helps you on which website?
Number 2: The EU also offers you a tool which can help you recognise which EU language a text has been written in? Again, where can you find this information?
Number 3: Short answers now like in trivia quizzes:
a)Which country has not fought in a war since 1815?
b)Name 4 island nations which are members of the EU.
c)Which capital city's name is Gaelic for Black Pool?
d)Bonn lies on the banks of which river?
e)In the Spanish city of Salamaca students try to spot a frog on the university building facade. Why?
f)What nationality was the composer Liszt?
h)In which European capital city can you find the most famous astronomical clock?
Now the game: Follow the instructions mentally. Don't cheat. Let's see how good you are.
-Think of a number from 2 to 10
-Multiply it by 9
-Add the two numbers of your total together (for example, if the answer is 23, then 2+3)
-Take away 5
-If your answer is 1, it equals A, if it is 2, it equals B, 3 equals C , 4 equals D, etc....
-Think of a country in Europe beginning with that letter.
-Think of an animal,
not a bird or a fish that begins with the
second letter of that country.
-Think of the colour of your animal.
Well, it's always fun to think of grey elephants in Denmark, isn't it?
Hope you liked it.
