The next morning, before the daybreak, the Ox, the Horse, and the Sheep started out. The horse led the way, because he had the good sense of direction in the darkness, the sheep follows him tightly, and the ox walked after. The Rat, which lived close to the ox, seeing they leave, without a second thought, climbed on the tail of the ox furtively…

When the sun rose, the Cock crowed, and then started off, the Dog, the Boar who live close to the cock went after.

The Rabbit dolled up herself then went

“Mickey, read me, I can tell you interesting stories!”

“Mickey, read me, I can share you profound thoughts!”

“Mickey, read me, I can show you a beautiful world!”

Staring at all kinds of books on the shelves in the library, I seemed to hear their callings, and fell into a problem of making a choice. Suddenly a question popped up in my brain——Who are they?

Residents of the library? Knowledge? Books?

I tried to find an accurate word to generalize them, and the word “minds” soon occurred to me. The more

My heart is yours

Leave me

You won’t be

My memory or history

When the autumn was coming, the leaf received a letter from the tree. She didn’t say anything after reading the poem in the letter the whole day, and she didn’t even eat anything. What she knew was her time was up, and the wind would take her to

ESL learners all have unique streanghts, as well as areas they find quite hard. What most ESL learners have in common, is a difficulty speaking, and putting what they know on paper in to practice.
A learners native language has a lot to do with how they take to spoken English, for example, a speaker of a syllable timed language will find the stress timed rhythm of English hard to ma

The place is the most beautiful spot in my small town, the most predominant colour is green, we have big long large oaks scattered all over the Park and we've got an amazing lake right in the center of the Park wich has colourful fishes and a sublime fountain that scuirts shining clean water.

Hi Friends,

This is my first blog post. I recently joined to EC as a learner. I think this is a good opportunity to improve English as my second language.

I have visited other reserves and rehabilitation

The only sound in that subway was the rails running of waitting to the next
