Hello,

Look at these, it could be a reason to improve your english:





Last english lesson we read an article about IKEA and his founder Mr. Kamprad.
Here are some notes and summary

Wealth
He is one of the 17th richest people in the world.
Personality
He has fought against dyslexia and illness and still is charismatic and friendly.
Lifestyle
He ist best known for his modest lifestyle, for example he still washes plastic cups to recycle them.
Leadership style
He expresses the feelings of togetherness physically.
His leadership style is informal and possess a lack of hierarchy. Kamprad hates short term decissions.

Also we had to invent in groups a story based on given question:
Here is my story (just a little bit modified from the others):

Long time ago in a village far far away there was a time where it has been raining for four days, it has been raining cats and dogs, chicken and cows.
Paul a farmer who was dreaming of being a PMP was walking from his fieldwork and was all wet because he didn't listen to his wife and didn't took his umbrella with him. Paul was all allone with his thoughts so he didn't realize the old man walking across.
On a crossing suddenly this old man with wings appeared in front of Paul.
Paul was very frightened in that moment and punched the old man in his face and knocked the old man out.
Paul ran to his wife and told her the story, but she did not believe him. She said you are drunk and mad, and cried "This is your excuse for comming late, i bet you are cheating on me, you son of $ %$§(/".
Paul took his wife with him and took her to the place where he punched the old man in the face. He still was lying on the floor because Paul did hit him really hard. Pauls wife couldn't believe his eyes and had a genious idea. "Lets take him to the priest".
They took him to the priest and he inspected him, but didn't believe that this old man was an angel because this wings looked selfmade and an angel wasn't old.
Because Paul had a good heart and was open minded in generall (when he wasn't not knocking out old man with wings), so he and his wife took this old man to their house and offered him a warm place in the cellar.

At the country, stories spread with lightspeed, and so it wasn't a big surprise that some folks from the neighbour village heared some rumors and wanted to see the angel.
Paul was a farmer but he wasn't dumb so he prepared all for the tourist-invasion from the neighbour village.
He charged 5€ per person, 3€ for children, students had to pay only 2,5€ and pensionists where charged 6€ including one cold or hot drink. Toilets were also charged with 5€ :D.

Paul did really well with his little business and his wealth was growing continuously.
The old man felt very comfortable within Pauls house and stood only as long as it was raining, knowing that his wings were not waterproof.
One day as the rain stoped the old man told Paul and his wife, that he must go now. Paul excused for the very hard punch in the face. The old man was not vengeful but rather thankful and thanked Paul with one year of supreme luck. He spread his wings and flew away.
So it stands written, believe it or not! :D

some nice songs

Found some nice songs. The first one is from Iron Maiden called wasted years.
The second is a very special song it is from Bob Dylan called Hurricane.
Enjoy!

Wasted Years

From the coast of gold across the seven seas
Im travellin on far and wide
But now it seems Im just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isnt me but someone else

I close my eyes and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Aint it funny how it is,
You never miss it til its gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will de til my dying day

So understand
Dont waste your time always
Searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise youre living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Cant easy this pain so easily
When you cant find the words to say
Its hard to make it through another day
And it just makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky
---------------------------------------------------
Hurricane


Pistols shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out "My God they killed them all"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For something that he never done
Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Three bodies lying there does Patty see
And another man named Bello moving around mysteriously
"I didn't do it" he says and he throws up his hands
"I was only robbing the register I hope you understand
I saw them leaving" he says and he stops
"One of us had better call up the cops"
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashing
In the hot New Jersey night.

Meanwhile far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are driving around
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that
In Patterson that's just the way things go
If you're black you might as well not shown up on the street
'Less you wanna draw the heat.

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the corps
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowling around
He said "I saw two men running out they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates"
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
Cop said "Wait a minute boys this one's not dead"
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men.

Four in the morning and they haul Rubin in
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
The wounded man looks up through his one dying eye
Says "Wha'd you bring him in here for ? He ain't the guy !"
Yes here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For something that he never done
Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Four months later the ghettos are in flame
Rubin's in South America fighting for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are putting the screws to him looking for somebody to blame
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar ?"
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law ?"
"Think it might-a been that fighter you saw running that night ?"
"Don't forget that you are white".

Arthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure"
Cops said "A boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talking to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail be a nice fellow
You'll be doing society a favor
That sonofabitch is brave and getting braver
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim".

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
It's my work he'd say and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus he never had a chance
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
And though they could not produce the gun
The DA said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.

Rubin Carter was falsely tried
The crime was murder 'one' guess who testified
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers they all went along for the ride
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's hand ?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell
That's the story of the Hurricane
But it won't be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done
Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

The last english-lessen we talked about heuriger.
A heuriger is a kind of a pub where you get traditional austrian food and homemade wine and where you can celebrate in a cosiness atmosphere. Often at a heuriger you get the most recent year's wine served. "Heurig" means this year. Sometimes you will also see some live music at a Heuriger.

The thing i learned the last session is the food called BLOOD PUDDING. BLOOD PUDDING is made of intestines filled with lovely coaqulated blood.
This is not a bad helloween gag, no you get this delicous food at an austrian heuriger and it tastes really good. (i did not taste this yet)

What dou you else get at a heuriger for your money.

• different sorts of ham
• horseradish (take care its hot!)
• black break
• liptauer (it is a sort of spicy cream cheese spread)
• smoked ham
• and delicios knuckles of pork (do not come to the idea to call this an ice-leg :D)
• Schnitzel (A Schnitzel is a thin slice of meat from veal or pork.)

Vocabularies i learned the last time

Sekt - sparkling wine
Most - cider
Mineralwasser - sparkling water
Kater - hangover (drink water, eat some pickled herrings, or take an aspirin if you suffer from hangover)


Homework:
letter p 132 (150 words)
write your blog (done)

PUDDLE OF MUDD LYRICS

"She Hates Me"

Met a girl, _________ she was grand (think)
_________ in love, found out first hand (fall in love)
_________ well for a week or two (go)
then it all _________ unglued (come unglued)

in a trapped trip I can't grip
never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
then I _________ to realize (start)
I _________ _________ one big lie (to be living)

She fucking _________ me (hate)
trust
she fucking hates me
la la la love
I _________ too hard (try)
and she _________ my feelings like I had none (tear)
and _________ them away (rip)

She was queen for about an hour
after that shit got sour
she took all I ever had
no sign of guilt
no feeling of bad, no

In a trapped trip I can't grip
never thought i'd be the one who'd slip
then I _________ to realize (start)
I _________ _________ one big lie (live)

[Chorus]

that's my story, as you see
learned my lesson and so did she
now it's over and i'm glad
'cause i'm a fool for all i've said

[Chorus]

la la la la la la la la la love
Trust
la la la la la la la la la love
Trust
and she tore my feelings like I had none
she fucking hates me

E3.2

Hello!

The last English lesson we analyzed some lyrics from Verzetnitsch.
To be serious we analyzed some lyrics from a group which wrote a verse which in some maner represented the situation from Verzetnitsch.
[I walk through the shadows of Vienna (something like that, try not to miss the sarcasm)]

We also learnt some new vocabularies: TODO

and last but not least heard a presentation from Werner.
TODO: Summary
One thing that i really missed was a handout from the presentation (in my opinion: this should be an obligation)

We had the task to put also some lyrics into our blog.
Here is my choice:

I took the lyric from the song All along the watchtower from Bob Dylan performed by Jimi Hendrix (in my opinion the best song ever)

There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief,
Theres too much confusion, I cant get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.

No reason to get excited, the thief, he kindly spoke,
There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and i, weve been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

E3.1

Hello it is 0300 in the morning and i still suffer from jet-lag,

I am back at Vienna and also FH started already.
Note: First writing this sentence i used the phrase started over which means to start from the beginning.

Our first english lesson was all about ethics.
At first i have to be honest i had no idea how to describe what ethics are.
Now after this lesson i can summarize it with my own words in the following:

Ethics apply to many social areas (politics, economics, environmental, health care, etc.) Ethics describe a personal understanding of what is right or wrong, good or evil. I say personal understanding because in the lecture doing some exercises in groups i discovered that what i thought it wasn't ethical others didn't find that unethical and vice versa. I am not the specialist on that area but there also must be some influence from culture and religion in peoples understanding of what is ethical and unethical.

We should write for homework a short opinion about the following:
Is it ethical for Verzetnitsch to claim termination gratuity? Yes/No +Why?
He can sure claim, but the authority has to proove if he deserves the termination gratuity. But if i may be honest it doesn't interest me in the slightest ;)


Also we should do the etical quiz and put the comments on the blog.
Quiz taken from here
1. Which is worse?

• hurting someone's feelings by telling the truth
• telling a lie and protecting their feelings

Comment: This is situation dependent but i prefer the truth and i would in nine of ten situations tell the truth (right in the face, thats what i like)

2. Which is the worse mistake?

• to make exceptions too freely
• to apply rules too rigidly

Comment: Rules are made to be broken. I have seen many situations where people are just doing what was said, and just following their given rules. It is maybe good for the army but in civil life or business life it is more like a ball and chain.

3. Which is it worse to be?

• unmerciful
• unfair

Comment: This is also situation dependent, but i personally prefer being fair over merciful.

4. Which is worse?

• stealing something valuable from someone for no good reason
• breaking a promise to a friend for no good reason

Comment: Dumb question. Why would i do this things for no good reason? There has to be always a reason, and my choice depends on the reason! I wouldn't do it for no good reason, and also i can't decide which is worse.

5. Which is it better to be?

• just and fair
• sympathetic and feeling

Comment: I personally prefer being fair.

6. Which is worse?

• not helping someone in trouble
• being unfair to someone by playing favorites

Comment: In this case, hellping someone in trouble is favourised because it would the situation is worse. (trouble vs unfair, i prefer helping someone in trouble, but as usuall also situation dependent)

7. In making a decision you rely more on

• hard facts
• personal feelings and intuition

Comment: It is said that a human stomach has also a good intention to show someone which decision to make, because it is filled with nerves all over. It is often said that people are making a decision out of stomach.

8. Your boss orders you to do something that will hurt someone. If you carry out the order, have you actually done anything wrong?

• yes
• no

Comment: I wouldn't do just anything if someone tells me so, even if it is my boss.
No one has such authoriy above me! I would just say i wouldn't do that, even if i would have a disadvantage from my decision.

9. Which is more important in determining whether an action is right or wrong?

• whether anyone actually gets hurt
• whether a rule, law, commandment, or moral principle is broken

Comment: Rules and principles are good but there has to be room for some exeptions, where these rules do not apply.

And here as a result is my score:
Care Score: 6
Justice Score: 3

Just wanted to tell to the interessted blog reader, I am stressed like hell at the moment.

Could you imagine: The last three working months were dull like hell.
The last two weeks on the other side were interessting and i learned in the past two weeks more than the whole last half year.
The other side of the medal is that my freetime gets very short really fast.
But at the end my live has a sense again, thank godness, my dull working days are over!

You want some details? Here they are: My job is, to analyse software requirements for our new project. This task makes it necessary to talk to people a lot and i like that kind of work. I hate it like &%$§§§ sitting and coding the whole day, it makes me nuts.

Ok the reason i started this blog is that i wanted to inform you I found out, that our local newspaper "derstandard" offers on monday a set of texts from an English newspaper .
I also wanted to mention that I read some of this articles, which are sometimes really informative.

If you want some details on the articles leave me a post.

Thats all for now
Cheers Bob

Hello world,

Yes i really have some talkativeness ...
Today we ranked some vocabularies which are necessary or important at a job or interview. Mine where in order of importance.

-references
-experience
-qualifications
-appearance
-age

Also we defined and talked about the term metacognitive.
Meta is a term which describes when you talk about something.
Let me give you an example. MetaLanguage is when you talk about the language.
MetaMetaLanguage is when you talk about talking about a language.

Also part of this lecture was an presentation from Mr. Lutz about should.

We had the privilege to listen to a second presentation from NIKI about Countries, Nationalities and Languages.

To summarize this presentation:
- Everything is written in capital Letters. Serbian, Austrian, German, etc,
- no the before most of the countries, except (the United States and the United Kingdom)
- Adjectives (ish; ian; ese; i; ic)


The last thing i can tell is that next time i will give an presentation about questions and also answer A,B,C on page 78 from book Market Leader.

Cheers Bob

Hello World!

This lecture of business english was after a 2 week break where we had a presentation and rhetoric seminar. In this lecture we rolled back the last lecture [E6].

Due to the fact that i had my notes from last time with me i had the advantage to be able to summarize the last lecture without problems. As long as you do not mention a bad hand writing as big problem. :D Nobody else in my class was using this technique so we have been given the order to use a booklet in future. Which has to be marked English II.

One of the cherries on the cake of this lecture was a presentation from Kernic M. The focus of his presentation was the difference between [have to] and [must] and also [don't have to] and [mustn't].

Just to summarize the facts to the interessted reader:
You use [have to] if its either a fact or necessary to do.
you use [must] if its either your opinion, or you would like to give someone a instruction.

On the other hand you use [don't have to] if you want to say someone that he/she shouldn't do something but he/she has still the option to do it.
Also you can use [mustn't] but with this phrase you want to say that it is necessary to DONT DO IT!!!

Also part of this lecture was some listening exercise.
The advice you get from me is that if you do not want to be seen as unfriendly you have to take care that when you speak to someone your voice is modulating and not beeing flat :D

The last information i can give you is the phrase "pull your finger out", which means work with full throttle. It is important that you note not to use this phrase with your Canadian business partner unless you have 5000 bucks to spend :D. The moral of this story is use phrases carefully, and if you are not sure, ask your local english teacher or the next native speaker in a pub. :D

If you like leave me a post to this blog using [have to], [must], [don't have to] or [mustn't] and i will answer you also using one.
Cheers Bob

Hello!

This lecture was on 14th April, the first lesson after easter.

We read an article from economist.com. It was about Austrian protectionism.
If you want to read it by yourself, the headline of this article is :Business in Austria

To sumarize the article, Austrians accept buying companies from their neighbours but when there comes that some other company wants to buy an Austrian company, there is some many weeks lasting discussion at he political sector. In this Article there was used an excerpt from our chancelllor Alfred Gusenbauer, which i do not want to quote.

Also part of this lecture was a great presentation from Joseph-Anton L.
The agenda of his presentation was phrases with [get].
Just to mention some [do you get it, get involved, etc.]!

Leave me a post to this blog using a phrase with get, and i will answer using also one.

This was the lesson on 24th March, by the way the last one before easter 2007.

Due to the fact that the last time i have been ill, and didn't know vocabularies to describe my illness, this lecture was flavoured with many vocabularies and phrases of illness.
Just to mention a subset of all heared and written down: [headache, stomachache, vomitting, a temperature, an itsy bitsy teeny cold, breaking out in cold, shaking, lack of taste, shaking]

Additionally we heard that in the UK some Austrian diseases do not exist.
For example English People do not have problems like "Nierenerkältung".
The reason to this phenomenon is that most of Austrian citizens are wimps. :D

And last but not least we heared a great presentation from Mr. Werner H.
The agenda of his presentation was [compound objectives].
Just to mention some [sun-tanned, curly-haired]!

The task of this lesson was to put some ideas on how to learn.
Here is mine:
Leave me a post to this blog using a compound objective, and i will answer using also one.

i have been ill, so nothing from me...

Management Lesson

Lesson One!

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"
The eagle answered: "Sure, why not" So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson Two:
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull." They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day he reached the second branch and,
finally, after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Management Lesson:

Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.


Lesson Three:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. there,
a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out! He laid there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung,
and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson :

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend..
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor. It supposedly takes about eight
floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax and correct itself.
7. Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks otherwise it will digest itself.
8. The citrus soda 7-UP was created in 1929; '7' was selected after the original 7-ounce containers and 'UP'
for the direction of the bubbles.
9. 101 Dalmatians, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, and Mulan are the only Disney cartoons where both parents
are present and don't die throughout the movie. .
10. A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.

Some funny stuff i found

Hello world!

I was surfing the matrix while i found this funny stuff.

If it should happen that you are at work and really bored that lean back
, relax and take a look! :D

This one is a VERY FUNNY advertisement - campaign of
APPLE!
The one i like most is the Pie Chart!

The thing that makes me smile, is that the "MAC" is a sporty looking guy
and the counterpart, the "PC" is a fat and gray looking "book keeper".

I personaly like MAC's but the MAC i would like to buy is away too
expensive. Take a look through the shopping window. :D

Hello World!
I'm student of FH@Vienna. We are trying a project this year in english. All of us create a blog and write our impressions of the english lesson into it. Our teacher (Mr. Gilbert) reads them and ????

Today (10.03.2007) Mr. Gilbert showed us his favourite book, it is called "your marketing sucks". By the way, we talked about sentences with the word suck, and my almoust famous sentence with the word suck is "to loose is natures way to say you suck".
It is a saying you can find on t-shirts, and someway it makes me smile. :D

We read the first page of this book at class, and it was interesting, the language level wasn't that high, as i have expected at first. Also the first page woke my interesst and desire for reading more of it. Maybe i'll buy it and take a deeper look myself, but not now. At the moment i am really busy at work and private and i realize that time is passing by with lightspeed.

Oh and by the way it was ME, who found the blogg most people of my group found also interessting.
I didn't expect to find it again, but I started the best search engine in the world and found it!

From this page i found the link to karl who walked around the earth by foot.
Additional Info: The first link contains amazing pictures from Canada.

Thats all for now!
If someone reads this, please leave a comment if you like...
