A fine Priority list FEB 14, 2012

here from Ashley and group 8 members: here.
Below, I am asking each group to provide their first choice for question, and a second one only if it is *very* important to the group.
My own two questions that will be part of the core are:
Roland's question:
1. What could SCSU do to make your stay on campus better?
2. Could you tell me a secret about yourself that very few people here know about and that shows us well, who you are and what you stand for?
Group 1Which country`s food do you like the most? What are the similarities and differences between it and your own culture`s food?
Group 2: What are the typical greetings in your culture and what do they mean?
Group 3 What kind of government is in charge of your home country, how did it affect your life and how has democracy in America been a change?
Group 4 What different modes of transportation are used in your country?
Group 5 At what age do you start school? Are you under a lot of stress in school??
Group 6: What religious holidays or other cultural events do you or others celebrate; can you explain your traditions for each? Do you have any daily rituals in regards to your religious beliefs?
Group 7 How would you describe famous sports in your country?
Group 8.Can you describe a typical day for a child in your country?
Group __

AS SOON AS WE WILL HAVE ESTABLISHED THE CORE QUESTIONS, WE WILL MOVE INTO STUDENT SELECT-GRAMMAR-TOPICS PRESENTATIONS. OOPS my caps lock was on. sorry for inadvertently "yelling". But I do not want to type it again ;-))

ooops: how is this asked correctly? Grammatically or logically, we could improve this!
