From the infographic above, we can see that there are four main benefits from learning a language: love, travel, intelligence and money. And, it's interesting to see that being a bilingual person can increase our chances to get a better life. I remember I read research posted on an online news that bilingual students performed better in various tasks than monolingual students just like the result that was shown by the infographic.

Hi, everyone. 

First of all, receive my warmest regards 

Well, here I am again writing a few lines to express my feelings about EC. 

When I first came to EC in 2005 , I was barely an English teacher trainee and I was scared of making grammar mistakes on the forums. However, several members made feel comfortable to write as much as I could so that I would practice more and more. 

But I didn't come by chance. My "English I" professor asked me (us, my classmates and I) to meet people abroad and exchang

don't focus on the past only use it to come up with wisdom and lessons then leave it behind, nothing matter now only what are you going to do at the moment ......

From now on, you will be someone completely different, full with love, compassion, understanding, helping others, positive and optimistic in every step of your thoughts, ideas and works.

Well, i have read that women outlive men for couple of years throughout the ages, but no reasons were mentioned, or any other detials were included!

I really wonder is this idea right? if you do agree don't you mind jotting down any justifications you might have?

That's how it looks in book :) Nice pictures :) 

Recently I bought small and colorful book for kids called "Storytime For 2 Years Olds"

Wally Wally whale

Had a ten foot tail –

He chased all the fishes

When he went for a sail.

In the government yard in Trenchtown

No, woman, no cry
Ee little darling, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry

So hello! I am here again ^^

This time, I have a question for you all. Do you think you can handle it? It's a tough one, you have to think about it carefully before you give me your answer and if you are sure with it then you should be happy. Yup, it has a big effect.

Let me share with you why I am asking you this question. Sometimes we feel alone. Alone and lonely, like you don't have someone to rely on. Like no one is by your side or no one is there for you when you need them. Lonely in heart, i
