"Being is more important than doing"  ((Ekhart Tolle))

 This time I didn't have enough time to practice the song, "Our last summer" suggested by ABRIL, my dear friend.But, I like to take part in the contest since I had so much fun singing Lilly and helped me so much to learn about intonation in English. So, I really apologize for not "BEING GOOD ENOUGH" and hope you can bear my singing! 

Here is my recording:

  I'm certain that there are a lot of poor children who want to learn but they couldn't attend school because:

1. They prefer to work in order to sustain or provide a living for their family.

2. Because of poverty, many women and children are become victims of sexual exploitation and prostitution. 

3. Those young children could be the next generation of scientists, educators, or lawyers but have limited access of support because they are living in far away islands and have no means to reach them.

Many of you use SKYPE and Audio Speaking Group and Karaoke Group to talk with each other, and practice speaking English. Has anyone tried the Voicethread website? http://voicethread.com

There is somewhat of a learning curve but would work VERY WELL with English learners. One person uploads a set of slides on a theme, and they can describe those slides and/or a task for the others, using text, audio, or video. Then as others sign on, they can all comment on each slide with text, audio, or video.

now I remember those words at the same place

But without you

I remember white flowers , my darling

I remember your fingers Permeate my hair

Good morning my child, I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now
