Dear Tara,
I went to check the chain story but what I saw made me upset. Some friends wrote more than one sentence! they wrote one PARAGRAPH! I am really upset because this shows that they did not read your explanation. Would you please tell them read your explanation more carefully?
Sorry for the complain but it is really annoying.

Thank you so much,
Best redards,

Dear Tara,
Thank you so much for reading my essay and encouraging me. I totally agree that the U.S is a "melting pot". I really like Canadian points of view in this regard because people try to keep their culture and a host country can not melt their culture. They may loose some part of their culture for example their language. But, internally, they think they belong to other places. I think every man must be free in choosing what culture they want to belong to. Pushing dominant culture to other cultures may just work for a short time not for a long time.
When God created various race with different cultures, why do men try to change it? World is more interesting with colorful people.

Dire Tara
I’ll tell you some thing about start learning English in UK,
First of all, i’m writing this massage by Microsoft word to help me if I have mistake.
When i was in smell village called (Alhily, about 135KM from Dubai) in UAE.i was teacher computer for scan dry school.
My minister of education give me scholarship for study English one year, and one year to do master in computing. they tolled me to chose on of the countries (Australia, UK, Newzland, USA),then i decided to go to UK because it the nearest one.
I chose city in UK called Portsmouth ,there are 200,000 people, and it has sea.
Portsmouth is far from London an hour and half, however, ntive people you can’t speak with them.
I diseased to live with host family to learn English very fast, but i discovered my host family were busy by their work.
I was going to school ever morning at 8:45 to 5 o’clock pm ,after that i went to my host family to eat my diner ,when i want to speak with them i felt they don’t want to correct me if i speak wrong.
I swear to you ,i give them 120 pound per week to help me to learning English ,eat diner and to sleap, Avery weak i buy to them grivet, i would like they love me ,because i think if they love me they will help me to learn me English language, you know, i fund out they not English ,they from Malta ,and they have contract with my school on the basis native speaker,
That no problem if they speak with me English or if they speak English each other or speak in phone or with their friends or.....etc They speak Maltase the must time, and i thought that English,

Dear Tara,

Yesterday, I was busy reading your website. I could not study my English. I only read your website and check every page of it. It is really fantastic! If you need some books from Chapters or If there is something that I can do for you, please tell me. I am living in Oakville, forty kilometers far from Toronto. So, we have Chapters here.

I love reading books as well and even looking at books make me happy. When I was a child, instead of buying toys, I asked my mom to buy some books for me so I had a lot of books. Consequently, I know what you feel and completely understand it.

Right now, I really enthusiastic to read some books in English but I do not have proper word span so sometimes I do not understand what I am reading about. Instead, I read some newspapers in the hope that one day I can read a lot of books in English. I just read one book called "Stillness Speaks" written by Ekhart Tolle.

I wish the best for you and your family specially your cute children.

Have a nice day,
Best regards,
