  1. hey guyz, thanks a ton for the information..and all the best to u smraj ..truly hope u can solve this problem
  2. hi bichhang, vinhtt's explanation for the second question is absolutely correct. the man means that he thinks that the woman is not the healthiest (heartiest), and hence one of the weaker people he has met. thus, he means that she is very sensitive to cold. i am confused about the first question because i think both c and d are correct. they say pretty much the same thing. 'on top of the ones i already bought?' means 'apart from or in addition to'(the rolls). so the man may either be saying that he thinks the rolls he bought are enough or he may be wanting to know (as indicated by the question mark) or to be sure that the woman has considered the rolls that he has already bought.
  3. thanks bigduke! i'll keep the points in mind...and will try to keep improving.. thanks again for ur time and valuable suggestions :)
  4. hi totti! thanks for ur comments... am very relieved now..
  5. :) hi kaushik, i think u can also say that these studies are basically correlational in nature and hence do not suggest that increased intake of omega3 fatty acids reduces the risk of depression (i dont think u should say that depression has nothing to do with the kind of food intake coz it is possible). moreover depression is a complex ailment and is influenced by many factors - genetic vulnerability, psychological stress, changes in the levels of neurotransmitters, etc. hence it is possible that some of these factors may have caused the low levels of depression rather than omega3. hence, our ancestors may have had a lower genetic risk or vulnerability to depression, or may have faced less stress,etc. also, it may be due to the fact that thay consumed less saturated fat that they had lower levels of depression. with respect to the studies in Japan and Taiwan, the people there are likely to have better support systems, thus reducing their levels of stress and hence their risk for depression. also these studies have studied the consumption of fish, and it is possible that some other nutrients present in fish influence depression levels. hence studies that study the cause-effect relation between omega3 fatty acids and the levels of depression need to be done. moreover to prevent depression, other factors and causes need to be controlled. hope this helps...all the best! :tup:
  6. hi...this is my first essay...pls rate. is it too dry or repetitive.. The following appeared in a proposal from the economic minister of the country of Paraterra. "In order to strengthen its lagging economy, last year the government of the nearby country of Bellegea began an advertising campaign to promote ecologically sound tourism (ecotourism). This year the number of foreign visitors arriving at Bellegea's main airport doubled, and per capita income in Bellegea increased by ten percent. To provide more income for the population of Paraterra and also preserve the natural environment of our tiny country, we too should begin to promote ecotourism. To ensure that our advertising campaign is successful, we should hire the current director of Bellegea's National Tourism Office as a consultant for the campaign." The economic minister of the country of Paraterra has drawn on the experiences of the neighbouring country of Bellegea to resolve the problem of Paraterra’s lagging economy. However, the bases of his claims and conclusions are not entirely convincing and need further examination. Firstly, the economic minister of the country of Paraterra assumes that the economy of its neighbouring country Bellegea ameliorated as a result of a boost in tourism. Though this may well be the case, there is also the possibility that the increase in the per capita income reflects other favourable changes in the economy. It is not clear to what extent the increased income is a result of the spurt in tourism alone. Conclusive information to that effect would help in deciding whether promoting ecotourism is indeed the solution to the problems. Secondly, the minister uses the number of foreign visitors arriving at the main airport as the sole index of the growth of tourism industry. To begin with, the foreigners may have come for other purposes such as on business trips, etc. and not as tourists. Moreover data collected from merely one airport, even though a major one is not likely to provide accurate information. In order to get a more accurate picture, it would be necessary to assay the inflow of foreign tourists at all airports and tourist areas that are otherwise accessible. Hence it is necessary to gather evidence scientifically to successfully back the conclusion that there was indeed a boost in tourism. Further, the economic minister of Paraterra must be cautious in applying the same strategies as those used by the government of Bellegea to strengthen its economy. Though the tourism industry of Bellegea may have benefited substantially from the ad campaign to promote ecotourism, it is very likely that it was accompanied by improved infrastructure to support the increased inflow of tourists and other amenities. Hence, before working on the same lines, the economic minister of Paraterra must determine whether the country has the capacity to support such a growth. Moreover, simply because these are neighbouring countries, one cannot assume that both have similar features. It is possible that Paraterra’s economy is plagued by other problems and will not benefit significantly from the tourism industry. Finally, hiring the current director of Bellegea's National Tourism Office as a consultant for the campaign may not necessarily guarantee the success of the campaign in Paraterra as there is no evidence suggesting that the director played an instrumental role in the designing and the success of the campaign. Hence it would be beneficial to first investigate whether the director was indeed involved directly in the planning and implementation of the campaign. Thus, the conclusions drawn by the economic minister of Paraterra are based on possibly fallacious grounds and need to be corroborated by solid evidence regarding the success of the ad campaign, the growth in tourism and the potential benefit to Paraterra’s economy from such a campaign.
