Online and text abbreviations have their place in our modern era, and in the right situation (a chat room or text message) they are relatively acceptable.However (I am going to be quite unpopular for saying this) I don't think it is wise for English learners to use many of these 'lazy words'.Acronyms like LOL (laugh out loud) and BRB (be right back) are okay, as long as everyone is aware that they have no place outside a chat room or a text message, and they certainly don't belong in formal writ

The Most Romantic Thing

Dear Captain,

Life is still continuing, sometimes happy, sometimes upset, sometimes interesting, sometimes boring, sometimes active, and sometimes dull. Anyway, that’s true life. I accept all the states.

After a long while, I received Ling’s letter. In the letter, she shared me her recent life and invited me to visit her. The sanatorium she is staying stands by the sea. She said it very beautiful. What’s more, she made friends with an amiable and sophisticated elder lady. I

Have you ever thanked your friends?

For their smiles?

 their hellos?

their hugs?

their taps at your back?

their sharing things?

their sweet kisses?

their way of calling your name?

their talking nonstop?

their pure love?

imagine your friends  never doing that anymore,

could you bear it?

These are the ones who make life look so easy,cheerful and beautiful.

So,I thank all of you for being my friends.2346550884?profile=original

My Formula One Diary - Day Three

Again, this is the continuation of My Formula One Diary 2013.

Day One : 21.03.2013 (Read here)

Day Two : 22.03.2013 (Read here)

Day Three : 23.03.2013 

I was expecting things to change in Day Three. Normally drivers would push their cars to the limit to get the best grid's positions in the Qualifying Rounds.

In addition, Saturday was also the start of Celebrity Spotting. Today was no exception. I saw Michelle Yeoh (James Bond's heroine and a Malaysian) with her partner - the famous Jean Todt.

Dear Captain,

What are you doing now? Hmmm, let me guess! Are you half opening your eyes and your ears, resting on the deck, and thinking of things happened this day? It must be a fruitful and happy day, yes?

Today was sunny and warm, no wind no dark cloud. Looking out of my window now, I can see the sound sleeping stars and the quiet waning moon. Yes, I am sitting in the darkness which I am always afraid of, and thinking the messed day. To be honest, Captain, I need you now, how I wish you are ri

My Formula One Diary - Day Two

This is my continuation of My Formula One Diary 2013.

Day One : 21.03.2013 (Read here)

Day Two : 22.03.2013

I can feel the excitement buzzing slowly. The people walked faster and the atmosphere seemed to be slightly electrified. 2346548611?profile=original

At 10:00 a.m., the first car went to the track to signify the start of Practice Session 1 (P1). Round, round and round it goes. The engine noise was deafening. Normally I would bring a story book during these practices to kill the time, but this year I had totally forgotten

Learning a foreign language can be an exceptionally difficult process, especially for those who are not regularly in contact with native speakers and their culture. This is why many people find it hard to sound like a native speaker even if their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary is strong.

The issues are the following:

Inconsistent contact with the native culture

Absence of native instructors

Improper online resources

Recently Selma posted a link in the Karaoke Group for a Voice of America video titled "Are You Learning English? These Songs May Help" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33qbMCuJ5XI 

Well, I thought it was a great idea but had trouble remembering the names of all the songs mentioned! So from the video I compiled this list of the artists, the songs mentioned, a website where you could actually HEAR the song mentioned, and another site where you could read the lyrics.

So, if you like songs, here's th

Dear Captain,

Long time no contact, kinda miss you! How is life treating you? How is the sea treating you?

I still remember the stories you told me about the sea and you last time when you came back from the vast blue sea. The stories were as adventurous as dear you, they aroused my curiosity, and I wondered…I started to dream, dreamt of your adventures, as if I was the protagonist of the stories, but not you, giggling~

But recently I lost my dreams, the nights became blank and sometimes I even los
