Why are museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists and not local people?

The main reason for this is the fact that usually local people do not have enough time to visit different places for entertainment. There is no doubt that nowadays adults individuals have to devote their time to working, doing housework and growning bringing up their children. Consequently, they hardly had have they spent any time to visit local historical places or museums. For example, almost every adult's typical daily routine usually consists of resolving different kinds of problems in their working process lives or family. As a result, people grawitate gravitate toward simpler types of leisure such as shopping, going to the cinema or having dinner with friends.

Hello,

I totally agree with you.  I always enjoy my time visiting museums when I am on holiday, and I should also do so when I am at home!

Best wishes,

Something About Barber Shops  （Thank you for correcting any errors）

Every time I go to a barber's shop to have my hair cut, the barbers are always trying to sell me something.
First, the barber will begin making a chitchat with you, then when they find your hair is a little bit stiff, they want you to try their hair-softener production. When you are losing some hair, they already want you to grow some new ones hair. This is quite typical in my country and I find it very annoying.
Sometimes I just want to let my mind wandering aimlessly for half an hour and enjoy some leisure time.
What do you think?

Hello,

it's the same here too in Portugal, and in hairdressers, as well as in barber shops.  I too like to have the thinking time.  Maybe it is all part of the experience?

Best wishes,

Annie

Hello, as far as I'm aware, there is no quick way, or logical process of knowing whether a noun is countable or not. Common mistakes are with advice and information - both of which are uncountable, so never plurual. I'm sorry I don't have the answer! best wishes, Annie

Hello, Bunting has become really popular - I see it everywhere now. As Nikola says, it's a form of decoration, usually square or triangular pieces of cloth or paper attached evenly along a piece of string. To use it, you put it up - that is to hang it across windows, doors, ceilings, from one lamppost to another, so that it flutters and moves, and makes the place look more jolly and festive. I hope this helps, best wishes, Annie

Hello, as John has said, to me it is predominately a Naval word. However, it is also used in certain dialects in the UK, for example in Scotland, and in the northeast of England where people would say 'aye' rather than 'yes'. It also reminds me of something I was watching recently where a vote was being held. The story is set in the 18th century in England, and at the end of the voting, a character said something like 'the ayes have it' - meaning that the vote has more people for it rather than against it - if you follow. I personally never use it in any form of conversations - but I'm from the southeast of England, so that may be why! I hope this helps, best wishes, Annie

Hello, I would suggest this option: 'we could order some large portions of food' Best wishes, Annie

Hello, 'get through', or in this case 'got through' is a phrasal verb. As with all phrasal verbs you just have to learn the meaning. In this situation, it means to deal with something difficult, is the funeral. I hope this helps, best wishes, Annie

Hello, I think there is something missing from your sentence which may alter the meaning. Best wishes, Annie
