As I had told you 4 weeks ago, I used this video in my class and I could get students' reactions to the painting being sold at such a high amount of money. It was perfect in that class because they had been discussing Art before. I told them to visit your website, which I hope they do. Cheers.

I agree with your usage of church and prison though.

Yeah, I agree with Bulletproofshirts.
"I went to hospital"? Yikes I really hope this is because people from New Zealand and America use different grammar rules...
American kids are taught at a very young age, when building their basic grammar foundation, to say "hospital" with "the."
(I'm not "hating" on you or anything, I'm just extremely curious as to why you would EVER say hospital without the.)
-
as an American,I have NEVER heard anyone say hospital in any context without using "the". I'm not sure why, but it is this way, but it would sound very off to me to hear someone just say "hospital" instead of "the hospital".
Somebody back me up on this. :P

schweet. thanks :) theres something to look forward to, a nice bit of grammar revision. practice makes perfect that's what they say.
-
Thank you :) That's a great idea - let me know what they say about it.

By the way, you might think you're useless now, but you could turn out to be really good at it - it just takes practice.

This is a very interesting post. I had never seen the usage "I am going to University" until I saw others from outside of the United States use it almost exclusively. I've always used "College" instead.. For example, "I am going to College," or "I am in College." Also, it *is* interesting how the usage of "the" can change the meaning of a sentence.

Yeah, that's interesting. Some people in NZ use "college" to mean "high school". I've also noticed that in North America some people use "school" to mean "university/college". In NZ, "school" just means "primary, intermediate or high school". One more thing: in NZ, people used to shorten university to "varsity", but recently people usually shorten it to "uni".
