Much to the chagrin of some Chinese Americans, their children didn't become high-flying successful people owning mansions.

The majority of native English speakers, in contrast to the majority of ESL learners,

acquired their bases of active vocabularies throughout their childhood family life and their education in primary and secondary schools and universities.

You know what? Why has the Chinese housing market been constantly berated in China?

Why not just marketize it? Hmm...

Some people, especially among the religious people, allegedly foreknow forthcoming events.

It seems that many Chinese immigrants in Montreal are not privy to what is going on in the online life of Mainland Chinese people.

What is left in the wreckage in an online user account if that account gets cancelled voluntarily?

If you are an English learner, no matter how hectic your life is,

keep reading at least one or two pages of text in English everyday. That activity alone, can at least counter or check the natural depreciation of one's English proficiency.

I have swallowed and tasted a slew of books and articles in my past years.

The current recession has seen many wrecked careers which were established or budding.

People are scrambling to salvage the wreckage.

Many things will realize before long, and many other things will pass away momentarily.

I personally think that too many people in Canada and China borrow too heavily,

particularly in their house mortgage arrangements, to maintain their capacity of maneuvering the risk of becoming wretches when bad economic times attack.

How come I like much of what British Prime Ministers spoke so much?

Some people spend too much time on expanding their passive vocabularies,

while paying too little heed to enhancing their somewhat wretched active vocabularies.
