Glad to be gayFor the seventh time the Amsterdam gay scene is holding its Gay Parade, on Saturday August 3, starting at 14:00. This annual multicolored Amsterdam event no longer shocks Amsterdam residents, but still, the sight of hundreds of boisterous gays floating down the canals can still shock the tourists wandering innocently along the quayside.
The Canal Parade is definitely not some stale, boring flower procession. The boats are loaded with gays and lesbians who, dressed in extravagant costumes, carry on like it’s carnival. The best places to watch this gay celebration are from the bridges on the Prinsengracht, from across the Amstel, and from the quay at the Muziektheather.
Foreign students need English classes
A recent survey conducted by the student council groups Aag and Oras has revealed that too many students want to improve their English. Students have shown great interest in the courses ‘Upper Intermediate English’ and ‘Written English for technologists’, which are offered at the Institute for Technique and Communication (TBM). Aag believes that the courses should be offered more frequently and, moreover, that two new English courses should be offered as well. The Institute for Technique and Communication and the Executive board have both responded positively to these proposals. The new courses on offer will be ‘Lower Intermediate English’ and ‘Advanced Level English’. The first course is meant for students who did not learn much English during their high school years. Aag says that some foreign students must raise the standard of their English-language skills in order to be able to function effectively at TU Delft. Jordy Mollé (Aag): “The current English-language courses at the TU begin at the high school level. However, you cannot expect that students from China, for instance, will enter the TU with such an advanced level of English.”
The Advanced Level English course is designed to prepare students for the professional academic world.
