  1. does heating water = hot running water?

    put a , before such

    confront to their superior - take out "to"

    now=know

  4. In the film Salt of the Earth, there is a scene where the miners decided to go on strike. They wanted their employer to provide them with better working conditions and higher pay, and their wives wanted home improvements such as better heating and water. The miner's went to their superiors and told them they would strike if their demands were not met, and their wives came along to support them. While the miners were surrounding their superiors and demanding better living conditions and higher pay, las Mexicanas came over the hillside with signs also demanding better living conditions (particularly better heating and water).

    Sorry I've never seen Salt of the Earth so that was the best I could do! Hope this helps!
