Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks the child if he would like a snack, which of course he does.

"Here. Have some cooking oil."

"Yuck," says the boy.

"How about a couple of raw eggs?"

"Gross, Grandma."

"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"

To which the Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But w

This is the first time I write blog on EC although I’m a member of our family for a long time. I used to think of many different ways to attract everyone and set plans to enhance my English. However, I didn’t have any improvement. I blame for my tight studying schedule, my busy work, my sickness, blah blah … As a result, my English gets worse and worse. That is because I’m afraid of making mistakes, and do not have enough determination to pursue my plan. Truly, I’m not self-confident when using

Recently, I was learning some philosophy knowledge in English club. Trying to learn more complex knowledge in english is a good way to improve our english. As my teacher said, "I believe that all of you can ask and answer normal questions easily, I just want to teach more difficult things to you for pushing you to express some complicated and mysterious ideas." I really appreciate his theory and method of teaching!

However, I have to admit that Philosophy is too difficult to understand for me wh

Hi Everybody,

I suck, it's been a while since I posted something. To be honest, I have never had a blog before. I am writing my dissertation paper and hope to find someone who can read, edit, point out with big red CAPS what I did wrong and give me overall input. I know it is a big thing to ask, but I just want to do a great job.

I used to and still say:" Tomorrow is gonna be another day."

Years of mine have rolled by and still I believe in this statement that inspires me to keep hope in the coming of that 'tomorrow'. What disturbs me these days is my blind belief in this statement because I have never asked myself what did I mean by " Tomorrow is gonna be another day.", and  never wondered about what I expected from IT. Did I mean a beautiful day? a happy day ? or a peaceful one? Did I expect to be having a good job and

Fifth- floor University of Toronto library is where I had to go. I wrote down the call number of my math book one day ago. This number on the back of the book facilitates to find it among so many other books. Book shelves are organized based on the alphabetical order. Books from A to M are located on the third floor and the rest on the fourth. While passing through each aisle to find the book, I could hear a sound like this “zzzzzzzz”. First, I got worried. “Am I doin
