1 overseas: The term "overseas" refers to land or countries far from your native country. The term specifically refers to countries "across a sea or ocean", however the term can be used to describe a country "abroad". In this report, Bjorn mentions that frequent "overseas" travel has helped Swedish people learn English.
2 outstanding: The word "outstanding" means excellent or prominent. In the report, Brent says that Sweden is famous for "its outstanding ice-hockey players". He means that Sweden is well known for having very good ice-hockey players. Note that "outstanding" has other meanings in different contexts.
3 foreign: The term "foreign" refers to anyone or anything coming from another country. In this report, Bjorn talks about Sweden's "strong foreign trade policy". Other examples: America's foreign trade policy is an open system where there are few restrictions on trade with other countries.
4 compulsory: The word "compulsory" refers to something "required" or "obligatory". Bjorn reports that in Sweden, "English has actually been a compulsory subject in schools for 60 years". He means that students in Sweden are required to learn English at school. Example: It is compulsory to wear white tennis shoes when walking on the tennis courts.

List the reasons, according to the article, that traditional American labor unions are in decline.

This is a true statement. This article mentions the negative effect globalization has had on the unions: "In the US...the rise of a global economy have threatened the higher wages that union members once enjoyed". This means that the decline of industrial jobs in the US and the increase of markets in other countries have put pressure on the traditional higher salaries of union members. Later we read that "globalization may signal the end for the traditional American union". The term "foreign" describes anything not native to a particular country. For example: A French film shown in the United States is a "foreign" film.
This is a true statement. This article mentions that "close relationships with organized crime...led the government to change its traditionally benevolent stance (towards the unions)." This tells us that in the past the government supported the unions, which ended when the government discovered that Unions were affiliated or connected with the mafia. Later, Jackie Hasselhoff says that the government has become "blatantly anti-union". "Blatantly" means "flagrantly" or in an obvious manner. "A stance" is literally a position, but is frequently used to describe a policy or attitude. For example: His stance on immigration is controversial.
This is a true statement. In this article, economist Adam F Smythe is quoted as saying: "Private sector companies are less inclined to hire union labor because of the restrictions it imposes upon their business models". By this he means that these days companies don't like to employ workers who are members of a union because they usually have to pay them a higher salary. The term "reluctance" describes "reticence" or "hesitation". For example: I am reluctant to change jobs, as I am happy here.
This statement is false. According to this article, private sector companies are giving benefits to workers without using the labor union structure, or hiring union labor. There is nothing in the article that suggests that these companies are creating their own unions, or that they will "compete" with the traditional labor unions.
This statement is false. The article does mention European unions, however this is to highlight or accentuate how well they are currently doing. The article states "Unions remain a potent force in Europe." None of this, however, means that European unions are a "threat" (a "menace" or "cause for concern") to American unions.

1 foreign: "Foreign" is the best choice here. The adjective "foreign" is used to describe countries other than the one you live in. Here's another example: "Arina has a very strange accent. She's British but she spent her childhood in many different foreign countries because her mother was a diplomat".
2 successful: "Successful" is the term we were looking for. If someone or something (a person, a company, a project) is "successful", they are doing well. For people, this often means that they are earning lots of money or are recognised as being very good at their job. Example: "Michael Jaquesson is the most successful pop singer of all time".
3 expensive: "Expensive" is the best answer here. If something is "expensive", it is "dear" or it "costs a lot of money". Let's look at another example: "I would like to drink champagne before bed every day, but it's too expensive".
