My girlfriend is writing a thesis so she can finally get her bachelors degree, what i need is a bit of proof reading of her synopsis that also has to be in English. I know its a bit bellowed out, but its her mentor that insisted that its so long winded.
I have discovered In my everyday practice as a student of tourism that the youth in the countryside have less events available to them as opposed to the youth in city areas, and often even though we desire events they are not available to us. My desire to change this, is what led me to compose this thesis, in which i have examined this theme.
I wanted to research if my area if the youth in my area are of the same opinion that in the countryside " nothing is happening", while cities always have "something going on" and if youths from other countrysides and cities agree with us. The research deals with the problem of lack of events and entertainment for youths in the countryside. The purpose of this thesis is to research events in the countryside and in cities from the perspective of youths. Concrete examples the Ribnica Vally and Municipality of Celje.
The first method in my investigation was an interview with 8 people, that where asked of their opinions on predefined arguments. The second method was a poll on those predetermined arguments that are attached to 6 hypothesis.
The first limit on my research was limited funds, and the second was the time people where willing offering their cooperation.
The results of my research have concluded that 85,11 % of participants from the Ribnica valley and 83,72 % of the participants from the Municipality of Celje agree with hypothesis 1. Participants also agreed with hypothesis 2, 93,62 % of the youths from Ribnica Vally, and 83,72 % from the Municipality of Celje. Participants also agreed with hypothesis 3, 80,86 % from Ribnica valley and 83,73 % from Municipality of Celje.
I will send my results to event organizers. I will also organize events based on my findings, as to positively contribute changes to event organizing. The practical use of my thesis is to help organizers of events on both researched areas and giving them guidelines for the future.
Key words of the theses are youths, events, Municipality of Celje, Ribnica valley, type of events.
In this thesis i have conducted interviews with a determined number of participants, created and conducted a poll that gave me many answer's and results - do the youth agree with the predetermined hypothesizes. I have concluded that the vast majority of youths agree with my hypothesis, and have so confirmed all of them. I have concluded that city areas have many events for youths while countrysides rarely have any )if any= events for youths. that events organized in the countryside should be more similar to those in the cities. That the youths do want more events for youths and i could go one.
I know the thesis is a bit pointless as the answers where obvious from the start but it is still better then the doctors thesis a guy had when my uncle got his doctorate. He found the optimal way of drying pumpkin seeds.

eneral usage is that a 'practice' is a business. Surely no one is an everyday student of tourist, let alone a professional tourist.
Well if she gets her title it will be diplomeran organizator turizma, that would translate to a degree in tourism organizing. She chose the organizational path there are also 4 other professional tourist titles to claim LOL. I know its funny to me too.
Also 'less events' should be 'fewer events'. I'd also recommend adding some kind of modifier for the word event to give some clue what the person means. Does event just mean entertainment event?
Thnx yea i missed that fewer thingy thnx. Yea entertainment events is what she means.
More seriously though, this synopsis does not appear to describe college level work. Yeah, there is more stuff going on downtown, and I suspect even teenagers have figured that out.
Yea i know the synopsis is strange because hers was too short her mentor wrote this one. but the actual paper is kind of impressive. 50 pages of work to prove that "more stuff" is going on downtown something that is clearly obvious.

What is meant by 'event'?
Entertainment event.
What is a 'youth'?
people under 25
Why does your girlfriend include herself in the groupings?
Casue she is 26 and still thinks she is a youth
How many pumpkin seeds does your university charge for a PhD and would it be any good in the U.S.?
Not my university mine was a real one
The degree is valid in the European union. Not that expensive though the same degre would be free if she wouldn't mind driving 120 kilometers to school, but she wanted a closer school. Yea we are pesky red socialist's in Slovenija, private schools only get those that either cant get in to state schools of their choice because of their grades, or dont want to move/ drive to a distant school.
Thnx for the help.
