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.

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.
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
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
Like all the years before, when the Formula One "circus" comes to town, I will be working with them for a few days. (Please read about my experience with them here : Working with Formula One to understand what I am talking about)

Day One - 21.03.2013
As usual, there was nothing much activity in Day One. I was trying to familiarize with the system again. Thank God there was not much changes.
A few obligatory documents were published but since no "racing" a
GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE AND THE HASTE, AND REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they, too, have their story.Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater or lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achi
The Chaos of English Pronunciation
Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse
I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye your dress you'll tear,
So shall I! Oh, hear my prayer,
Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
Just compare heart, beard and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.

among and between
1. We say that somebody/something is between two or more clearly separate people or things.
We use among when somebody/something is in a group, a crowd or a mass of people or things, which we do not see separately.
Compare:
- She was standing between Alice and Mary.
- She was standing among a crowd of children.
- Our house is between the wood, the river and the village.
- His house is hidden among the trees.

English Club reminds me of a large International Airport. Many flights are ready to land, several are leaving at the same time. A few of us stick around and park our wings underneath the hangar's shelter while much needed repairs are being performed. The very best aircraft get displayed in a museum for all passengers to see while walking into the port at it's entrance.
The entire relationship between learners and a few of us so called teachers seems so similar at times.
In reality, the people tha
