I consulted a grammar book again when I was trying to find an answer to a question this morning - it's been a long time since I last read the book. When I was looking through its table of contents, I found I needed to read some of its items again because I wasn't so sure if I really understood them, or rather some of the entries were so unfamiliar to me now even though I had read them more than once.

Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town

"You better watch out.  You better not cry.  Better not pout, I'm telling you why.  Santa Claus is coming to town."

Christmas is just right around the corner.  The big ole guy with a fat white beard in a red suit is back!

"He's making a list and checking it twice.  Gonna find out who's naughty and nice.  Santa Claus is coming to town."

I remember when I was a kid, every year I would hang one of my socks on our window on Christmas eve before going to bed.  (Yes, it's the

Christmas is in the air.  Burrrrr...and I'm freezing!  I especially love this season of the year not only because of the cold weather but also because I get to listen again and again to those sweet Christmas carols.  I believe that the spirit of Christmas is incomplete without the Christmas music playing wherever we go.  So I thought we can all spread this joyful season here on EC by sharing and listening to each other's favorite Christmas song.  

I'd love it if you would please post here your al

When I read the Analisa Daily on 1st December 2011, I found out that Medan has a clean water crisis problem right now. The clean water crisis problem that is happening in Medan is caused by the growth in population and housing development.
