No, in this case you can not omit 'being'. To put your text in a nutschell, it says: Economy is far from being the only motive for camping. (there are many more reasons for camping) Try to omit 'being' and sentence doesn't make any sense any more. In other situations, though, it is possible to use the phrase without word 'being': We were far from disappointed when they canceled the invitation. Hope that helps :-)

Recitative: musical declamation of the kind usual in the narrative and dialogue parts of opera and oratorio, sung in the rhythm of ordinary speech with many words on the same note. 'Singing in recitative' Verbal: relating to or in the form of words. 'Tthe root of the problem is visual rather than verbal' Vocal: 1. Relating to the human voice. 'Non-linguistic vocal effects like laughs and sobs'. 2. (of music) consisting of or incorporating singing. 'A four-part vocal composition'. Information provided by google. Hope it helps :-)

These are my suggestions: watch movies/tv series in English; read newspapers or watch news in English; look for language learning podcasts; try to learn some grammar (there are loads of resources online) and finally, find someone to talk to - this is probably the most important.

'Because' does imply cause, 'since' can imply time or cause. What does that mean? It means that most of the time these words are synonymous and you can use either one: 'Since my dog is so hairy, I have to get its hair cut regularly.' 'Because my dog is so hairy, I have to get its hair cut regularly.' Both of these sentences are correct. The only trap you have to watch out for when using 'since' is ambiguity: 'Since we had breakfast, we were filled with energy.' This lets you wonder, were we filled with energy because of breakfast or just after breakfast? Hope that helps:-)

It is about a guy who falls in love after a one night stand. He leaves and she then moves away, but he still loves her so he drives to her. Therefore the 'this is not a drive by' refers to him not being done with her just because she was a one night stand.

1) No, I haven't seen the movie. 2) It's not clear for me, what do you mean by saying, that it's expensive to be multicultural? 3) I don't want to comment on racism without knowing the context.

Meiner Meinung nach, 'irgendein' ist singular und 'irgendwelche' ist plural. Zum Beispiel: 'Hast du irgendein Problem damit?' 'Irgendwelche Probleme damit?' (Pass aber auf, die beide Beispiele sind sehr unhöflich! :-)
