Best Answer

Basically avoid anything which is dependent on where you are.

- "in this country"

- "9 am", say 09:00 xxx time (where xxx is a place), and if you know it, also give it in their time "(15:00 yyy time).

- Use the 24-hour clock.

- Use metric.

- Give dates in full "2 December 2012". Do not use just numbers. Most countries write this "2/12/12". Some places write year first "2012-12-02", but the US uses a totally unique format and writes 12/2/12 - very confusing.

Use plain English, avoid slang, sports, TV and avoid anything which people who have never been to your country would not know.

Are scary messages real?

No, its just silly people trying to make little children scared. No scary thing will happen. Chain Mails are just sad, shallow people trying to make you sad and worried. They think they are funny and cool trying to bully and scare younger ones. Ignore it. Never read chain mails. If you come across a chainmail, delete it. If you read a chainmail, NEVER send it on to anybody!! I have been told off before for sending a chain mail on, even though it was about 2 years ago when i didnt know about chainmails, i have only just been told off about it because it people are still sending them on around the world and somebody has received and got scared. NEVER SEND CHAINMAILS ON AND NEVER READ THEM.

Howdose a man explore the solar system?

Well there are a few ways: 1. Using telescopes and other sensory devices from Earth, or Near Earth Orbit. 2. Sending robotic probes around the solar system to gather information. 3. Physically sending humans in a spacecraft. Of these, the third is the most expensive, which is why it hasn't been attempted beyond the moon. The other two are comparitively far cheaper and are readily used today to gather information about out solar system.

How old is Reynaldo in Hamlet?

Reynaldo is the spy that Polonius sends over to France to spy on his son Laertes. He is told that he is supposed to ask people in France what Laertes is actually like (does he party, drink, sleep with prostitutes etc.). The reasoning behind Polonius sending Reynaldo over to France is to see if Laertes is actually there studying art, or if he is just playing around.

How do messages get from your eyes to your brain?

The brain and nerves work like a telephone system in our body. Nerves allow messages to be passed around our body. Our brain sends messages via nerves to our body telling it to do things. For example, when I want to pick something up, my brain sends a message through my nerves to the muscles in my arm and hand making them move and pick something up. When I'm sitting in a chair my brain is constantly sending little messages to the muscles in my back telling them to keep my back straight so that I don't fall off the chair - sometimes you don't even know when your brain is sending messages to your body Our brain also receives messages from our body.
