Greece in Red-Hot

On last Tuesday, the prime minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras declared in the greek parliament that IMF had made mistakes and had a criminal responsibility in relation to Greek economic crisis, In Washington they were upset for this.
El ministro de Finanzas griego, Yanis Varufakis y la directora gerente...For this reason, Christine Lagarde, managing director of IMF, approaches to Varoufakis, economic minister, when he came in and she said to him: "you will like this moment, the crime boss says to you hello".
Quickly, Varoufakis turned around and apologized but the damage was done. After a short discussion in low voice, she finished saying "yes, I know what he said after that".
She was angry, in fact, in a subsequent conference press, she said: it's necessary just some adults in order to get an agreement.
The environment is tense in the most important times to negotiate the Greek crisis.
Greece has a lot of things to loose, each comment might be a missile in the middle of the agreements. Its economy is close to bankrupt, this week 3000 millions of Euros have left Greek banks.
Probably they have already decided to leave the EU but not before bargaining their debt in exchange to avoid more troubles to the EU.

  1. (On) last Tuesday, the prime minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras, declared in the Greek parliament that THE IMF had made mistakes and had a criminal responsibility in relation to THE Greek economic crisis. In Washington they were upset ABOUT this.

    Quickly, Varoufakis turned around and apologized, but the damage was done. After a short discussion in A QUIET voice, she finished BY saying "Yes, I know what he said after that".

    She was angry, in fact, in a subsequent PRESS conference, she said: it's JUST necessary TO HAVE some adults in order to get an agreement.

    Greece has a lot of things to lOSe, each comment might be a missile in the middle of the agreements. Its economy is close to bankrupt, this week 3000 millions of Euros have left Greek banks.

    Probably they have already decided to leave the EU but not before bargaining their debt in exchange to avoid more troubles WITH the EU.

  2. To expect is an interesting verb because all translators say it means "esperar" however when a native speaker says "yo espero" in relation to future, he is expressing a desire that he wants it to happen something, similar to "I wish". However according to the dictionary "expect" doesn't speak about "to desire", so a native speaker would never say "yo espero",
    A native speaker would say "yo creo que"
    Therefore:
    I am expecting them to leave the EU.= Yo creo que abandonarán la UE.
    On the contrary you would be expressing a desire, and I supposed that you aren't.
