This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life.
I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests.
Welcome. And, have a good day.

Two exemplary words are 'lay-off' and 'downsize', both of which simply mean 'get rid of employees'.
