In Exercise No. 1 is form glamourous correct, or it should be glamorous instead?

It's glamour - glamorous.  :)

Hello,

I think that glamourous is the UK spelling, (I'm pretty sure) and glamorous is the American English spelling. So, it depends on which one you were wanting to spell. My spell-check tells me the UK spelling is misspelled.

Thanks for the answers.
Caleb_Joseph95, wiktionary says so, and adds, that it hasn't been in use since 1882.

I think it's glamorous for both AmE and BrE. I checked the New Oxford American Dictionary and the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary.  :)

I also have a question Wink
I wanna name my blog and I wonder which one will be more correct "can handle it" or "can handle that?

Hello karolowanka... I think both are correct, it's just a matter of choice depending on the situation, but both are grammatical. I'd choose "can handle it" because it's more general, while the use of "that" indicates that you're talking about something more specific. That is my impression when I read the expressions.  :)
