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."

Is it reasonable we spend hours on EC. Chatting to our friends?

Can it be considered an effective way to improve our English?

Responder;

I think yes. We can trust each other 100%!

But trusting in this high degree needs some conditions.
