Can you show us how?

As written in my first post I really work hard on improving my English. So I thought visiting an English course here won't be a bad idea. Last week our teacher (a very amusing lady) asked us to write a short essay on the topic "crime and punishment", what in fact is interesting for me here because Sweden seems to have very strict rules and hard civil penalties! By the way, if you look at the comments of the last post, Sweden is supposed to have very high assault rates! And after looking at the police work, the regulations and the penalties here, I have a little theory: In Sweden they really try hard to prevent incidents or crimes. No matter what you do there is always a lot of security around you. When you go home from the club they almost convoy you to your place. And when there is some trouble or little silly fight (actually quite unusual here) the police is always around immediately. So maybe some people just collect criminal energy. There is no way to let of steam! And somedays these people just explode commiting some serious assaults not caring about any punishment! And the punishment is hard even for very absurd things! When you park your car at the wrong place - just like happened to me - you have to pay 700 SEK (75 Euro!), but that's another story...If you know me well, you also might know that I like to wander from the subject ;). And if you know me better, you might know that I haven't done my homework, e.g. not have written this essay about crime and punishment (only this time, i promise!). And as the English teacher wanted to analyze our language skills I didn't want to miss the chance to be analyzed, I just handed in my blog (the first post). "Very informal!", that was one of the comments on it. But this one I liked most: Instead of "bag" i wrote: "I discover that I have exactly one kilogram of excess baggage, so I open my back and put the first thing I see in my hand luggage." LOL! And she wrote: "Can you show us how?". I'll better not! And yes, I already have meticulously corrected all the mistakes in my first post! This time I've done my homework!
