Have you ever dreamed to be a polyglot? You may ask what polyglot means. Polyglot is a person who speaks so many languages, let's say four or five or even more.

do you think sports occasions could ease international tensions?

Some people think sports occasions are essential in easing international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions. I agree with part of this opinion, to my point, I prefer using 'probable' to 'essential'.

As we know, sportsmenship has no boundary among the countries all over the world. Every aspiring athelet is focus on improving their skills in order to make their sports dream come true. Without considering of politics, religion, and race, people just enjoy in sports! Also,…

Writing Challenge #30 : My Adventures in Blogging

After kinda struggling with my laziness and inactivity, eventually I decided to start this new post as my monthly homework.It may look like a brainstorming.

 

OK, the topic evokes nostalgia and many memories of my life in EC. It seems I am supposed to talk about how I have improved in English life of mine. But meanwhile, I think the flow of the writing may lead me to some other points other than English, writing and so on. I mean maybe while I am writing this post, a memory…

Would you also be surprised to know that I'm learning English while I'm here? British English is "brilliant". I love listening to the British accents.



Here are some British English words I've learned since I arrived (defined in Canadian… Continue

You also listen to announcements and the national anthem. Then you disperse and go to the classes that…
