I don't know if i'll be back to school on Monday. Time will tell.

Third World...

In the forum below, you’ll find a thread on the expression « Third world country ».
See the last three posts at the bottom of this page one. You’ll find examples of the use of that expression.
http://www.englishforums.com/English/ThirdWorldCountry/hbmjm/post.htm

Here, you can read the article by Alfred Sauvy, written in 1952. This is where he uses, for the first time, both expressions : « Troisième monde » and « Tiers Monde. »

"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour." -William Blake

Another great comprehension exercise resource:
