Hi karen!

Thanks for your compliments karen.
I agree with you.people who don't work hard enough-
and missed their opportunities that they have or they had,I also don't support them.
But I am talking about the poor people who never had the opportunity to do somthing.
Those undeveloped countries or people who are suffering from poverty is because of lack of Education.
In my point of view,To have control on poverty is to increase or provide the facilities of Education and good environment into those countries.
By getting people Educated the country gets developed,the economy gets better and there will be more jobs.
The people can live a happy and moderate life.
folks, Knowledge is the light of life that keeps you away from darkness.

Thanks Karen

It bugs me --when thinking about grammar

Grammar bothers me all the time , so do the most non- native speakers I guess.

Although I had been taking grammar classes for 10 months a year and half ago, and I felt I was pretty clear after that course,but I weren't.

For Chinese people maybe more difficult,because in our language, we don't have tense, we don't change verbs at anytime, we don't need worry about singular and plural,they are all same .

However,I like English, it's a beautiful language.

I wish I could speak perfect English just like you and the other native speakers in our class someday in the future.

I checked the website you suggested in your blog, it's so helpful and useful , I'm leaning it,thank you.

I originally commented these links to Irene's post below, but I also thought the class would appreciate them for help with grammar.

Hi Sam

We had wonderful classes at Mon&Wed,we learnt 10 new vocabularies,they were : acute, anonymous, apprehensive, arrogant, bestow, donor, prominent, phobia, recipient and prudent.

Do you know any of these? Try to remember these words,we will probably use them to write something like last time at next class on Mon.

We also learnt how to recognize what was opinion and what was fact in a editorial,it was very useful.

Sorry you missed the classes, hope you will show up on Mon.
