The film showed the dark underbelly of mumbai and portrayed it in a way that makes it seem as if all of India is just one big slum with poverty and corruption everywhere…Many people (educated people) know more about India than what the film portrayed. There is one scene where Jamal tells an American tourist “This is real India” (poor, hungry, corrupt), to which the American takes out a $100 dollar bill and says “This is America!” (Rich and filled with nice caring people)….After watching this film, most foreigners may grow negative perceptions about India…Was this the producers plan? After a viewing of the film I heard a foreigner say, “eww disgusting country”…Are Indians the only ones that know that there is more to India then what is portrayed in the film…India also has a rich culture/tradition(over 120 different cultures), family values, 21 different languages and over 100 dialects, growing economy with modernization (roads, buildings, shopping centers, malls, clubs, bars, restaurants, fancy night life…)…Most of the times I see television and news, only poverty and negative aspects of India is shown….Is this a conspiracy to portray India in negative light?

Hello. I’m a foreigner. Glad to meet you.The time here is 11:00 A.M.
While studying English, I met with trouble.
As long as you answer me, I hope you are a native. But I will welcome whoever you are if you know English well enough. My questions are as follows.

A : I’ve just been sitting at this table admiring the decor in the restaurant.
I saw this A sentence in my book. I think the sentence means two fact; “I sit” .and “I admire”.
What confuses me is why a “comma(,)” is left out.
I mean….I think the following B may be right, and in the A, the misunderstanding(= the table admire the decor) could take place.
B : I’ve just been sitting at this table, admiring the decor in the restaurant.

Q
Like A, (without the comma), Is that possible? If so. why……?
(Is the A sentence incorrect, by any chance?)
I think you can understand my problem.

Really, I’ll appreciate your help.

Hello. I’m a foreigner. While studying english, I met with difficulty again.
I have to find errors in this sentences. But It’s not easy to me, so I’m exhausted now.
As long as you anwer me, I hope you are a native.
My questions are not so long.

1. Tourism has become the top earner of foreign currency for many countries since last twentieth century.
—– I think the error in 1st sentence is currency. currency(x)– currencies (o) Right???

2. Most children do not feel it necessary to conform with rules.
—–I guess “feel” is not right and it might as well change into “think”
On the other hand, “feel” seems to be be right. Please help!

3. The main role of a teacher is teaching the students the knowledge accumulated over centuries of human experience.
— over(x) –by(ㅇ) Correct???

4. Because it is not serious.
At first, I thought this is right. But that seems to be wrong.
It is because it is not serious. –Right?? Is there anything else to correct 4rd sentence?

5. Today, many young people prefer to eat food such as fried chicken, or pizza in fast food restaurants, therefore, young people have a greater risk of overweight.
—– In my opinion, overweight— being overweight(o) ; overweight is adj. Right??
But “food” disturbs me. Is it also right to be “foods” ?

6. The purpose of this reform is to increase living standards.
I can’t find anything wrong in the 6th sentence. What’s wrong??

7. Many problems are certain to rise if children are given unlimited Internet access.

They have the long blond hair and they were sitting in a restaurant. the foreigner said something like each drinks cost me like 5 dollars 50?

I knew what is good and bad for me. For a reason i don’t know, i drew attention from the gov, friends, acquaintances/or passer-by to investigate what I’m doing. I do things in the public, in front of the camera. I am not special either. I do what everyone does at his /her life. I am not a homeless either. No one talk in front of that person about how ugly/unlucky the person is. However, people indirectly criticize me in my presence how odd I’m , what weird behavior I’m showing(How i look, how my hair is cut ,how i dressed , how i walk, how i live, how i eat, how i speak, how i spend money,etc) . At any place, people stare at me, laugh at me, and talk about me. Say at restaurants, clubs, resorts/beaches, casino, on the road, bus, train ,or in the community. Just bullying me. I’m a foreigner, so what? I’m healthy and i have no any psychological problems. But these things will make me sick in the future. what do u suggest? i’m not a kid.
