Happy New Year to all my friends
It's that time of year again. The old year is departing and a new one is approaching. It's that time of year when we reflect back on what was and what could have been, but also look forward to what can be. A time when some people make resolutions.
A resolution is something YOU can do that doesn’t rely on another person. In other words, you can reach the goal without depending on anyone but yourself. Find true love, for example, is NOT a resolution - that is a wish, a hope or a desire. It re
My dear diary,
My teacher said that if I want to improve my fluency in speaking,
I should use new vocabulary, which was learned recently, by writing or speaking.
Whatever it would be. But, if you are self-learning at home and not having tutors or friends.
How to do speaking practice? I asked. She told me that I could talk to myself and read aloud or
do writing practice. At least it would be a diary. That's the reason I am writing to you.
By the way, If EC members have any different opinions,

Of course, the wheel of life must go and you must get used to that. I do not know how to express myself properly but those lines might reflect something of it. Thanks in advance for your point of view:
Someone help me!
Life is hard,
Your words are harder.
I pretend not to feel,
Under the daily tears,
The anguish is clear.
After you,
I remain in grief.
You are the oppre
How can I study two languages even though I prefer Chinese over the other
Once upon a time, there was a king in a small country who had three sons. Because he couldn't decide which one he should resign his throne to, he said to his sons, "I will resign my throne to a son who brings me the most worthy treasure." So the three sons went off in quest of it.
The eldest son went toward the west. After he walked for a month, he found a thick vine growing toward the sky. He climbed it until he arrived at a cloud and got down to the cloud. He wandered about until he found a bi

Our people are out in the streets for more than four weeks in a peaceful demonstration demanding democracy. They did not want military rule. They wanted a civilian one. Our people ousted the previous dictator from power and a transi
A once in a lifetime event - a 97% Lunar Eclipse that took almost 4 hours from begiining to end. Scientist say it last happened over 600 years ago and won't happen again for another 600 years so unless you eat a lot of longevity noodles, you had 1 chance to see it.

Everyone has different kinds of experiences in their life. If it is a bad experience, you learn a good lesson from the incident, or if it is a good experience, you gain knowledge to add to your life.
All kinds of experience always make you stronger in one or the other way. Experience may teach you how mature you are and how you handle life to lead a successful path.

"Science is more than a body of knowledge. It’s a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility.
