However, the monarch butterflies come and be so infatuated (or intoxicated) by the unfelt scent that they chose to stay around until they die or the flowers die out. http://njunhung.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/p

The rise of English as a global language has led individuals from English speaking countries to take the language for granted.

Don't Let Anything Break YOu..
You’re right. People do lie, and cheat, and stab you in the back. There will be people who use you, and don’t love you even though they say they do. But you can’t let that stop you from living. Because there are people out there who do love you, and would never hurt you. You have to find those people and keep them in your life forever. Some people will do you wrong in life. People will say things about you that you never think they will, people will lie on you, peo

I have meet my students 4 weeks ago for the short ESL class and now I have to let go. on my second week i cant help but wish for the time to pass by so fast since some of them are not really my cup of tea. We somehow argue with each other almost about everything. Asian culture says that older people know better and since most of them are older than I am I am torn between being a teacher and being a younger person.

When I study on LiveMocha, very few learners there use punctuation either. Then I found English Club, and guess what? Many learners here don't use punctuation either. Until now, I haven't been able to figure out why.

I'm sure they ha
