Why English can be seen as a world language

The English language has become a universal world language because England is an island and therefore the people in Britain needed to cross oceans to expend their territory. This lead to more English speaking people around in the world.
One-third of the world's books are published in English.
Four-fifths of the electronic communication are in English.
At the moment there are more people speaking English as a second language than as a first language.

Task 1.  

I chose this quote: 

"If you have never been hated by your child you have never been a parent."

- Bette Davis (1908-89), American actress.

What does this quote say that you think is important?

This quote says a lot about the relations between parents and children, friends, and people you like. It sometimes happens that you quarrel with a friend, or as in this example with your parents, but you still love them. Parents have to teach you whats wrong, and whats right, sometimes you maybe don't like it, and you end up being grumpy. You can't always get what ever you want, sometimes your parents have to say "no", and then you maybe "hate" them in a second.

Our trip to Jotunheimen

We started our trip to Jotunheimen Tuesday 26 of August.
First we ran the bus to Helvete, next to Espedalen, where we walked down in some potholes.

  This picture is from the potholes.

After the stop in Helvete we ran the bus to Kvitskriuprestinn where we looked at pyramids of glacial material. Pyramids like that is exceptionally and you can only find them a few places in the world.  

This is the pyramids of glacial material.

We walked to the bus and ran to the camp where we was supposed to sleep in our tents.
Day two started early in the morning with rafting in Sjoa. The weather was nice but the water was still cold. After the rafting we ran to Lom where we visited "Norsk fjellmuseum" and then to Juvashytta where we walked down in an icedrift.

The last event of our trip was to climb the field Galdhøpiggen. Galdhøpiggen is Norway's highest mountain, and it's 2469 meter above sea level. It was a long walk, but it was definitely worth it when we got on top. 

This is my friend and me jumping on top of Galdhøpiggen.
