Listen To News: Chinese Probe Makes Lunar Landing ~ 17 December 2013

Discussion Question: China has been investing a lot of time and money into its space program in recent years. Do you think this sucessful Chinese landing will cause the US to put more focus on  future lunar missions?

  Considering that China always was a counterpoint for  USA, I think so, I think USA will be a a bit jealous of another nation set foot on Moon before some years it has itself. On the other hand, I don't believe USA

English vs Korean

English vs Korean  By Dayne Collins - Academia ESL

 

K-pop is pretty huge right now, and many of us have had some exposure to the Korean language. Personally, I like to able to politely thank the kind lady at the Korean grocer for giving me free candy when I buy a big bag of Kimchi. (I tried making my own… wow, it was really bad.)

 

What is it that makes Korean and English different? What do we have in common?

 

Korean is a particularly interesting language, and one of my personal favorites. Some migh

Song Lyric

This one of the song that I want to sing right now...12%20Well%20with%20My%20Soul.mp3 

***

Sometimes It's hard, sometimes I cry

sometimes my heart wants to know why?

but Your yoke is easy and Your burden in light

and though my heart is aching and there tear in my eyes

whatever my lot, You have told me to know It is well

It is well with my soul.

It's not always easy. I am not always right

Sometimes I do things that are wrong in Your eyes

but I have decided, I want to follow Jesus.

There is no turning back.

English Vs Mandarin

 

English Vs Mandarin By Dayne Collins – Academia ESL

 

The best thing about learning a language is discovering the unique differences, and sometimes uncanny similarities. What makes Mandarin and English so different? Do we have anything in common?

The most obvious difference is the written forms of both languages. English uses an Alphabetic system to construct words. Mandarin has no Alphabet, but instead uses symbols that represent words. This is called a logographic system.

It’s probably fair to sa

Winter solstice

   Today is winter solstice in the north hemisphere.  It is the day with  the shortest daytime of the year. We eat rice balls which are made of sticy rice in Taiwan on winter solstice.  After eating the rice balls, you are added one year to your age. Children like rice balls a lot because they are usually cooked as sweat soup. I like the tradition because it is a symbol of family union, too. All family members get together with steaming rice balls soup on dinner table in the cold day. Sweat in t

Dear Allah,

Give me the wisdom to understand my boss

Give me love to forgive him

Give me the patience to understand his deeds

But! Dearest Allah, don’t give me the power because if you give me power … I will break his head. -:)

Boss! Now that’s a word most of us are not at fond of. Just bunch of snobby superiors who have basically decided that everything we do is wrong. -:)

If they are early then we are late and if they are late then obviously we are early. Seeing their hostile faces every morning, no

My name is Classical Mechanics. I am one of the lucky books had been ever made. I am full of universe theory. I was contained with Newton’s law, Lagrange’ equation, Hamiltonian, Jacobian, Euler’s Theorem, Lorentz transformation and others Theories.

WOW! Such an imposing voice!

If you walk through the streets
should you be quiet
If you do what you dream of
should you be quiet
If you see what you believe in

If you say what you think

If you feel that you live

If you kiss what you love

If you know who you are

If you feel that you are different
then you must shout louder

I want to shout even louder

Dear Captain,

I've been out of the hospital, yet in advance. I think there is no need to stay there, just let nature take its course. Who knows, maybe it's the best arrangement that life gives to me.

My private detective Jingjing figured out the secret behind my mother and my sneaky doctor. They tried to hide it so that they even talked about it in the rooftop of the hospital. Hehehe, how great is a mother's love and protect to her kid! But the reality is always stronger. Finally the fact illumina

Confused

My native speaking tongue and best wishes have always been on this site to welcome new members and celebrate the "victories" when someone finally comprehends and gains the ability to communicate in this "CRAZY LANGUAGE" that we all call English.

Lately, the moderation has apparently scared a few people away from EC.

If I were Tara or Joe, my efforts would go out to sanctity of this site and what it stands for. If my English speaking skills were limited (while trying to convey my thoughts), perhaps

My English Club after 100 years?

Well if you compare now to 100 years ago, we have come a long way. I feel pretty good that we will have flying cars. I predict that the world will have a global economy rather than each country individually, we may even have an Earth president, rather than individual country leader. We will probably have colonies on other planets. TV's would be replaced with halo-gram projectors. The flying cars will get 100 miles per gallon of water, since we won't be using gas anymore -:)

Part- Two

Yes, friends, I also agree with you that more suspense is not too healthy. So, I am going to say about that late morning while a weirdo had stepped through their front gate.

As I said before Tintin had been on their lawn and about to start a game with her friends when the man had come to her sight. His face was bleak though he was forwarding towards them in  a graceful spaces." Who is that guy, do we know him"?, Tintin was thinking surprisingly but had not got her answer.

Then the man had took her
