Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I Have a Dream"

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to en

Because of the nimbleness with which the camel set off along with him the mouse was duped into thinking himself a champion. The flash of his thought struck the camel.'Go on, enjoy yourself,' he grunted. 'I will show you!'Presently the mouse came to the margin of a great river, such as would have cast down any lion or wolf. There the mouse halted, struck all of a heap.'Comrade over mountain a

Any Native Spanish Speakers here?

I have decided to finish a project I began with my students in Mexico. That project consists of taking the 500 Most Frequent Words used in the English language and finding their equivalent meaning in Spanish. We finished the first 10 Lists (250 words), and they are online now at http://timnew.com/esl . I am adding the other 10 lists today, but initially they will just be English. If you are a native Spanish speaker, I'd love your input! I will mostly be using VOX Spanish and English dictionaries

Vocabulary

This entry is the first of mine. I'd like to use English as the second language. For me, it's very important because my majors are almost written by English. But the problem is: Every time we read a short text, an article, a book etc. there are a lot of new words. Therefore how to remember and learn all those words? Everyone often advises we should learn 5 new words every day. That advice is very good. But maybe it isn't still enough to have a large vocabulary. Besides we still have many things

Let's avoid taboo subjects and foul language. (I'll delet
