6. Practise Presentation

On Monday our group had it's presentation about the article “Marked Women” written by Deborah Tannen. I liked my group and our teamwork. And i liked out subject, although it was kind of difficult to present our text, since it wasn't a shortstory and there weren't any specific characters. It resembled more an academic text. So it wasn't that easy for us.
But anyways i thought our presentation was okay, thus it could have been much better.
It was a good chance for us to evaluate and citicize us before the final presentation. So we know how to do it better next time. And the feedback of the class was very helpful.
I'm looking forward to our next presentation about the film V for Vendetta. I love that movie..:)

5. The difference between men and women

Yesterday i read an interessting and funny article in a magazine about the differences between men and women, i will try to summarize the main points :)
So we all know that there is a difference between men and women, and not just physically.
Let's look at couple of recognizable examples.
When eating out with some friends in a restaurant, woman will call each other by their real name, men however will call each other names like butt-head, Peanut- Brain, godzilla, or far worse :D
After dinner when the pill has to be paid, the men will all throw a 20$ note on the table, even if it's only 25$ to pay. And none will actually admit they want change back.
The women however will get the calculator out.

In the bathroom, men have toothpaste, a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn.
Women have an average of 332 items in the bathroom. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

Women worry a lot about the future untill they get married. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change but she does.

Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked ladies. Women's magazine also feature pictures of naked ladies. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is hairy and lumpy and should not be seen by the light of day.. (:D that is the part where i really had to laugh a bit)

Then there is the mirror-thing..Men are vain; they will check themselves out in the mirror. Women are ridiculous; they will check out their reflections in any shiny surface--mirrors, spoons, store windows, toasters.. When a women looks in the mirror she often sees herself chubby and ugly, she is dissatisfied with the appearance. When a men looks in the mirror, he sees a musclar, tall attractive smiling men in it ( no matter how the men looks like in real..)

When men wake up in the morning, they still look the same as when they went to bed. A women however seems to deteriorate during the night.

Soo, i think i have mentioned everything :)
I really had to laugh when i read this article:D
But thank God we're different. It would be too boring if we all were the same, wouldn't it?
