🍃🍃❤️❤️🍃🍃 QUESTIONS & PHRASES FOR THE #AIRPORT
👤“Excuse me, where is the American Airlines check-in desk?”
👤“How many bags can I check?”
👤“Will my luggage go straight through, or do I need to pick it up in [Chicago]?”

👤If your bag is heavier than the weight limits, or if your bag is larger than the size limits, you may need to pay extra: an oversized baggage fee or overweight baggage fee (this can be $75 to $300). Some airlines in the United States also charge a fee for ALL checked bags (usually $15 to $30).
👤“Please mark this bag as ‘fragile.’”
Say this if you have fragile or sensitive items in your bag that might break
👤“Is the flight on time?”
👩🦰 The agent will respond either “Yes” if the flight is on time, or “There’s a 20-minute delay” (for example) if the flight will leave later than expected.

🍃🍃❤️❤️🍃🍃 Casual informal greetings
These ways to say “hello” are used in very casual, friendly, and familiar contexts. They can be used in spoken English, text messages, voicemail messages, or emails with people that you know well.
🏵 “Hey” or “Hey there.”
🏵 “What’s up?” (Sometimes expressed as “‘Sup?”)
🏵 “How’s it going?”
🏵 “What’s happening” or “What’s happenin’?”
🏵 “Yo!”
These words and phrases are mostly used by young people to greet their friends when they arrive somewhere like a party, an exam, or a class. Again, although some of these greetings look like questions, no answers are expected.

➖Shall I read the book?
➕You shall not pass!

➖I shall bring the kids.
➕We shall be in Japan.
➖You will go there.
➕They will have a good time.
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

🍃❤️❤️🍃 GRAMMAR 🍃❤️❤️🍃
💎🔻 Singular or plural verb?
You use a plural verb with "the majority of," when it is followed by a plural noun:
🔹The majority of patients are women.
You use a plural verb with "the majority" on its own, when you are considering members of a group as individual people:
🔹He sees several patients a day. The majority are women.
You usually use a singular verb with majority, when considering people as a single group:
🔹The majority is unwilling to listen to the views of the minority.
☄☄ Note: In British English, you can also use a plural verb in this meaning.
💎🔻 GROUP (PLURAL VS. SINGULAR)
🔻When the group is being considered as a whole, it can be treated as a single entity:
📗“the group was ready to go on stage.”
🔻But when the individuality of its members is being emphasized, “group” is plural:
📗“the group were in disagreement about where to go for dinner.”

🍃🍃❤️❤️🍃🍃 THE MAN WHO STRUGGLES TO BE HUMAN
When Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja was seven years old, his father sold
him into slavery. Marcos was given to an elderly shepherd who lived on
a remote mountain. Marcos's new job was to take care of a herd of 300
goats. He slept under the stars and tried to ignore the worrying sounds
of wild boars and wolves. One day the shepherd disappeared and never
returned.
Left to his own devices Marcos fought to survive. He caught rabbits and
fished for trout. When a storm came, he found a shelter in a cave. Inside
the cave, he found a den of wolf pups. He didn't see the wolves as a
threat and laid down to sleep.
When the mother wolf returned, she growled at him. Marcos feared the
wolf would tear him to pieces. Instead, she gave him a piece of meat.
For the next 15 years, Marcos lived with the wolves who protected and
sheltered him. He also insists he talked to them.
In 1965, police spotted a strange man with long hair roaming the
mountains. They chased the man dressed in nothing but a deerskin.
They captured him, tied his hands, and dragged him off the hillside.
Marcos was taken to a convent in Madrid. The nuns did their best to
reintroduce Marcos to society but they had their work cut out for them.
He had lost the use of language and the human world was an alien
environment.
He was confused by his reflection in the mirror. He was terrified when
he watched a cowboy movie. He thought the cowboys would run out of
the screen and trample him. And when he first heard voices on the
radio, he thought there were people inside who were trapped and
calling for help. Civilization left a bad taste in Marcos's mouth. He
didn't feel comfortable being around humans.
In those early years, Marcos would try to run back to the mountains
whenever he could. Over the next five decades, he roamed Spain
working odd jobs. People exploited him because he was different.
Today Marcos lives in a small town. He is retired and enjoys roaming
the countryside. He still finds it hard to relate to humans. He
remembers the time living with wolves as a better and happier life.
Marcos said he communicated with the wolves by howling. Marcos
explained, "When a person talks, they might say one thing but mean
another. Animals don't do that."
Wolf behavior specialist José España thinks Marcos was tolerated by
the pack because he posed no threat. He believes Marcos was
desperate for social acceptance. He thinks Marcos imagined
relationships with wild animals that didn't exist. Whatever the truth may
be, Marcos says his time with the wolves was a glorious chapter in his
life.

🔴🟣 The German government has announced plans to allow the possession of up to 25 grams (just under 0.9 ounces) of cannabis, and the cultivation of a maximum of three plants at home.
The previous plan, which would have allowed cannabis to be sold in licensed stores nationwide, has been revised following concerns from the EU.
The legislation would allow for the commercial distribution of cannabis only under special circumstances in so-called clubs, as presented by Health Minister Karl Lauterbach and Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir.
"The previous cannabis policy has failed. Now we have to go new ways," Lauterbach said.
💎🔻 Two-step legalization
According to the revised plan, the first step will allow adults to form clubs for community cultivation with up to 500 members. Clubs can provide members up to 50 grams of cannabis per month and no more than 25 grams at once, with those under the age of 21 allowed to get a maximum of 30 grams per month of lower-potency cannabis.
The clubs must also appoint "youth protection, addiction and prevention officers." Members would be able to cultivate cannabis at home, with maximum of seven seeds or five cuttings per month allowed to be passed on by clubs. The bill for this step will be ready by the end of April, according to Özdemir.
A separate bill prepared for after the summer will allow a small number of licensed shops in certain German regions to do commercial distribution of cannabis, according to Lauterbach.
"The cannabis project is taking the next step today so that cannabis use will become legal this year," Özdemir said.
🔻💎 Why now?
The new plan comes after the German government revised its initial plans to legalize cannabis from October last year. Originally, the government planned to allow the sale of cannabis for adults in specialist shops. For now, this has been ruled out as the plan was met with concerns from the European Commission.
After holding talks with Brussels, the German government has decided that such sales will be trialed only in certain model regions.
The ministers said the legislation foresees amnesties for people who have previously been convicted of cannabis possession. They didn't specify who would be eligible for the amnesties.

💎🟣 Last week Chief Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee ordered former Vice President Mike Pence to testify before a grand jury about his conversations with President Trump related to January 6.
Former Vice President Mike Pence won’t appeal a judge’s decision ordering him to testify before a grand jury investigating January 6.
“Vice President Pence will not appeal the Judge’s ruling and will comply with the subpoena as required by law,” Pence spox Devin O’Malley said in a statement.
Last week Chief Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee ordered former Vice President Mike Pence to testify before a grand jury about his conversations with President Trump related to January 6.
This is an unprecedented attack on Trump’s authority and executive privilege which is derived from the constitutional separation of powers.
Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed Mike Pence in February.
Pence argued that as president of the Senate, he was acting as a member of the legislative branch on January 6 and is therefore protected by the DOJ’s demands.
Judge Boasberg ruled that Pence can decline to answer any questions about his time presiding over the senate.
However, Boasberg ordered Pence to testify to the grand jury about his conversations with President Trump, according to a leak to CNN.
Pence previously stated he will appeal this ruling, however he changed his mind and will now comply with the Regime.
