Silvia: Hello, Charlie! Gabriel *is just telling/was just telling me/has just told* me about this study. So, you *don't/can't/will not* think the Portuguese are the happiest? The thing is, *I will go/I was just going/I've just been* to this talk in which they explained to us that the happiest country in Europe is Denmark. It's hard to understand, because the weather *was/is/is going to be* bad, their neighbors in Norway are richer and their other neighbors in Sweden are healthier. Oh-oh. And what *makes/does make/made* them the happiest people in Europe, then, Charlie? First of all, they have very little violence, so people *feel/felt/were feeling* very safe. I see... Danish people. I *was thinking/have never thought/am thinking* of them as the happiest. They don't look very happy. They don't talk very much in the street, they don't laugh very much. *I went/I was going/I've been* to Denmark, so I know what I'm talking about. You're right, Silvia, but I think they *are talking/talk/are going to talk* about contentedness, not happiness. What does contentedness mean? In what ways is it different from happiness? If you are content it means you *have/aren't going to have/don't have* anything to worry about. Remember that all education is free in Denmark and students who have children get paid by the government to stay home and take care of their babies for six months. Wow! That is happiness! They also have free health care one of the best systems in the world. And employees *have worked/work/worked* 37 hours a week and get six weeks off every year. Yeah, that's what I have heard, too. The most efficient work arrangement, in my opinion. You're happy to do your work the best way you *can/are/do*.
