I was correcting an exercise with a student, and even if I knew that vegetable is countable, suddenly it came to my mind that " fruit" is uncountable.
Is them someone who could help me remember why vegetable, that is a generic name, is classified as countable?
The traveller Philippe Sibelly, who lived in Australia and Ireland before setting in London, has always been fascinated by multiculturalism. The presence of different cultures in the British capital inspired him to realize a " world in one City " challenge.
After the announcement that London would have hosted the 2012 Olympics , Philips decided to capture his perception of " multiculturalism" in a photography project. The idea was that each subject of the photo should have hold the previous subject picture while he or she was posing.
The photos portrayed 205 people of each country that took part in the Games. Philip tried to challenge people's perception about multiculturalism, so he also travelled around the city interviewing people, showing that prejudice about Londoners being narrow-minded weren't true.
The photographer and writer, also remembered each story the subjects of the photo told him. he met a monk from Solomon island, a footballer who was born in Mali, an italian chef and a girl from Montenegro and last but not least, he interviewed two boys born in England whose parents were foreigners. While Adam was proud to represent Haiti, which was his mother 's country, Zishaan from Pakistan stated that he was both British and Pakistan, and that he find " the strong sense of nationalism form people who have never seen their country [annoying]" .
To sum up, it is important to be open minded about crossing culture and get used to see people from different country in our homeland.
