The tricky simple english for me

Posted by Jeffery on November 17, 2010
"You are not a student because you go to the school, or because you are in a classroom. " It's a simple sentence, however, when I read the sentence and translate it into chinese literally or word-for-word, I may say ' You are not a student, because you go to the school, or because you are in a classroom', or I can say ' because you go to the school you are not a student'. Is it to do with language habit, the thinking habit or my english level? Any comment is welcomed!

Posted by Sharifa Bahri (SkoonAlBahr) on November 16, 2010
A few days ago, I wanted to wish all my friends have a great feast by uploading a photo on their wall. I uploaded a photo in someone’s wall. Then instead of uploading the same photo every time, I copied the code and pasted it over and over on other’s wall. I did so to not waste much time since I have lots of friends. But this fast way forced me to wait two days far from MyEC. Ning disabled my account. They thought I was spamming because I copied and pasted a single message to a lot of walls. I u

An olive on the roadside

Posted by vindos on November 14, 2010

Hey... there, small olive tree,
memory of the good times
tell me, you, that  you're are there...
near the roadside
where's that small car, which
always was so close to you?
It was right there, in your shadow
and it kept you company ...
How strange,
now that here's so much choice
you're always alone...
that thou, being a great!
Here they are... look at those
they go fast, for looking at you
while you're shading...
neither do you do anything
to get you noticed...
Come on!  Let shake your leafs a little!
Oh my God..
