== The changes and influence on Englisch ==

Many people complain that English spoken in Britain changes.
In the following the influences and changes shall be discussed:
First of all TV has a lot of influence on people.
So as the English spoken on TV has changed the language of the people watching TV has changed too.
This might be because especially young kids try to adopt their idols' way of talking.
A second aspect is that even dictionaries now include the latest slang words.
Thirdly Estuary English is slowly replacing RP.
Besides people nowadays care less about the way other people speak.
Language is fluid, so changes come and go.


== Dreams... ==

Once the professor of physics and scientist Robert H. Goddard said "It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow". He meant if you have a dream and work hard enough for it, you can turn it into reality. You also shouldn't loose your dream in front of your eyes instead keep on working on it that maybe someday you can live your dream.

== Volbeat - I only wanna be with you (Dusty Springfield cover) ==

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so<br />
I only know I never wanna let you go<br />
'cause you started something can't you see<br />
And ever since we met you had a hold on me<br />
It happens to be true<br />
I only wanna be with you<br />
<br />
It doesn't really matter what you say or do<br />
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you<br />
Look what has happened with just one kiss<br />
I never knew that I could be in love like this<br />
It's crazy but it's true<br />
I only wanna be with you<br />
<br />
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so<br />
I only know I never wanna let you go<br />
'cause you started something can't you see<br />
And ever since we met you had a hold on me<br />
it happens to be true<br />
I only wanna be with you<br />
<br />
You stopped and smiled at me<br />
And asked if I'd care to dance<br />
I fell into your open arms and I didn't stand a chance<br />
<br />
(Now listen honey) I just wanna be beside you everywhere<br />
As long as we're together honey I don't care<br />
But you started something can't you see<br />
And ever since we met you had a hold on me<br />
It happens to be true<br />
I only wanna be with you<br />
No matter what you do<br />
I only wanna be with you<br />

'''Analysis'''

The advert’s product of Luxembourg Government are prostitutes and the target group are men, especially those who pay for sex.
It shows a naked woman as a packaged product on a metallic table. She is trapped in this package, which also has a bar code on the right bottom. It symbolizes that the woman is treated like a product though she is still a human being. In addtition she attracts the attention of the viewer with her beauty, nudity and desperate posture, which is similar to the image of jesus hanging on the cross. 
Another eye-catching point is the white package on the dark, cold background. These contrary colours are used to illustrate the innocence of the woman and the shady side of the world, that women are seen as a product. 
The message of text and image is that as the slogan says "If you pay a prostitute, you're financing human trading." That means paying for sex is compared with human trading. The advert appeals to the rationality and insight not to tolerate prostitution and to be conscious about the effects. This message is supported by a strange image and a slogan. 
The rhetorical and stylistic devices,which are used  in language and imagery are a comparison between the woman and a product and statistics, written in a real small size on the left bottom of the ad.  The whole image reminds the viewer of buying a meat product in the supermarket without the knowledge about its origin.

= Translation: Changing Places =

Lodge wählte bedacht zwei Hauptfiguren um das zu verkörperlichen, was wir teils richtig teils falsch als nationale Charakterzüge des typischen Englischen und Amerikanischen Mannes annehmen. Philip Swallow ist ein vornehmer, sanfter, schüchterner Kerl, der uns als Musterbeispiel eines zuverlässigen Familienvaters, treu zu seiner Frau Hilary und seinen zwei jungen Kindern vorgestellt wird. Als Professor der Literatur ist er eintönig und langweilig; er schlägt sich an Rummidge mit der Zeit in einem ausweglosen Lehrberuf mit wenig Hoffnung auf Beförderung herum, ein Mann, der sich gelangweilt und unvollkommen fühlt als er für seine neuen Abenteuer nach Amerika aufbricht.

Morris Zapp ist dagegen ein dreister, arroganter, lustiger, lüsterner Akademiker, der einen weltweiten Ruf als führender Experte in ausgerechnet den vornehmen Schriften der Jane Austen genießt. Durch einen eleganten kleinen Schubs in die Heuchelei der Literatur zeigt Lodge uns die Tatsache, dass Zapp fünf wissenschaftliche Bücher über Austen geschrieben hat, obwohl er ihre Werke persönlich für langweilig hält. Stinkend nach akademischer Selbstüberschätzung und das Dasein als solch ein unermüdlicher Aufreißer scheint die einzige Möglichkeit für seine unverblümt redende feministische Frau, Désirée, sich von ihm scheiden zu lassen.

Während große Freude darüber genommen wird, die direkte, schonungslose amerikanische Art des hervorragenden und rauen Zapps mit der vornehmen, eher indirekten englischen Art des schüchternen und zurückhaltenden Swallows entgegenzusetzen, scheint Lodge seinen Lesern zu erzählen, dass die englischen Akademien ein paar mehr von freilaufenden Morris Zapp Typen gebrauchen könnten. Tatsächlich sagte Lodge 1985 in einem Interview als er Charakter  Zapp kommentierte „Ich denke es gibt ein klein wenig von Morris Zapp in mir und Ich spreche auf den launigen, aggressiven, energischen Judentypus des amerikanischen Akademikers an. Ich habe immer das Gefühl, dass das Leben doppelt so schnell zu vergehen scheint wenn man in ihrer Begleitung ist.“

= Translation: Changing Places =

Karten des 13. Jahrhunderts zeigten deutlich den Weg zum Paradies, eine Insel östlich von Indien, die so unerreichbar war, dass keiner beweisen konnte, dass es sich um einen Mythos handelt. Die von mittelalterliche Gelehrte durch ''Mappa Mundi'' beschrifteten Ziele erscheinen den heutigen Reisenden lächerlich schlicht. Dennoch setzen wir mehr denn je die leichtgläubige Suche nach unseren idealen verlorenen Paradies fort.
Heute feiert die Rucksackbibel ''Lonely Planet'' ihren 30. Geburtstag, die Suche nach Abenteuer war noch nie soweit verbreitet. Exotische Ziele, unzulänglich für gewöhnliche Familien der 70er sind nun einfach zu erreichen. Ursprünglich war der Wegweiser ein Steuermann für mittellose und kühne Kinder – ein Gegensatz zu dem Luxus des mehr konservativen Urlaubs. Trotzdem wies der bekannte Reiseführer ''Lonely Planet'' durch das Eröffnen solch ferner Ziele die Richtung zum Massenmarkt. Die Verfasser hatten das Glück der Eingebung von Inspiration zu einer Zeit als sich der Markt für Urlaub dramatisch änderte.
