	paco2004  +  204698 Thu, 09 Mar 06 08:13 PM My try is like as follows, but I might be wrong. Please wait native speakers' opinions. The media play an important role in forming and supporting our view of social reality. They influence the way we look at the world and our interpretation of what happens in it. Because of the potency of its visual images, the television can be of stronger influence than the press. paco paco2004 Joined on Wed, Nov 17 2004 Senior Member 4,095 In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.

Shouldn’t we allow the person to at least try to give it an effort first before we offer the answers. By jumping in to soon, we are actually doing the work and the person may not have learned anything. By the way "to" is the proper answer for # 7. That’s my 2 cents.   Goodman Joined on Mon, Nov 7 2005 Senior Member 3,816 The name says it all!

	paco2004  +  204740 Thu, 09 Mar 06 11:53 PM Thanks for the two cents. I'll save them. Googlily:    "what happens in the world" is used in 66,600 pages     "what happens to the world" is used in 13,000 pages. paco paco2004
