The podcast is a good website and get more resources. I often using BBC learn English, and I like to writing some vocabulary and good sentences. Including NCC news also is to practice way. I able to get information and understand everyone place culture. Even though, many websites and tool able to learn English. Now I know some good websites able to increase English ability.

For example, ESL podcast 644 – giving a successful presentation. How to a successful presentation? You must prepare some resources. Before, select a topic, and mean writing something. In addition, main points, organize, for Q&A and so on. However, audience is quiet, listening and they want to know main idea.

Note:
Event organizer: You had the audience hooked from the start. You could have heard a pin drop in there when you were going over your main points. Your presentation is undoubtedly the highlight of the conference.

Hook:
a curved piece of metal, plastic or wire for hanging things on.

Event organizer: They were on the edge of their seats.

Packed house: very large audience. People come and take every seat in the place where the events will held.

That's The Way It Is  (By Celine Dion)


I can read you mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you, yeah

(So) don't surrender, 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's let in doupt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna fine a way, yeah

When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all



The song learn some sentences. Instance, don't give up on your faith.
It's encourage people faith. Sometimes, we should some power and excitement.
Every thing have to devote and learn. Enjoy life fun and experience.
