If there were 10 pistols on the table,

I've been takinkig intensive three weeks summer courses of English.Two weeks has already passed.Mainly it's based on conversation.At the biginnig I was told that there would 7 to 9 people. Althogh, there are only 6 of us, which was better, of course. Usually we have talking lessons with polish teacher and once in a week we have conversation lessons with native speaker.Last week we had a lesson with such question,

"If there were 10 pistols on the table, and only one is loaded the others are empty, would you try shutting yourself for 25 million ￡?"

The chance you would survive is 90％, but only one person said that would take this risk.People are too afraid to take risk.I think if I had such choice I would  think for a while to take a risk, but finally I wouldn't.

Risking life too high anyway.If it's choice between losing every material things I possess and winning 25 million ￡, if poosility of winning is 90 percent, there is no doubt I would take the risk.

Some of new words I have remembered durig these courses up to now.

mundane-    monotonous

to dice- to cut into cubes

fad-some short term trends

grate cheese- to grate cheese means to change it into very small pieces.

couch potato - a person who is watching TV without thinking for a very long time.
