Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Sonnet 73 William Shakespeare

That time of year thou mayst in me behold

When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.


from William Shakespeare

It increase internet teaching learning and promote we learn effect. However, we able to learn on online and save time go to cream school. As the same get more learn courses.

    In MIT website, you can download video, review and review course. To me, I select about foreign languages and literatures course. It call “Visualizing Cultures.” This course offers an amazing collection of images and commentary about Commodore Perry and the opening of Japan. Visualizing Cultures looks at "cultures" in the broadest sense, including cultures of war, racism, nationalism, propaganda and atrocity. Moreover, I able to understand cultures easily. Culture describe history process.

    Although, MIT are convenient and useful website. It is solve some people question and help user able to free learning. Not only courses is abundant but also many video and exerciese supply everyone learning. The important is to learn English online is a joyful. You will get more experience and learned property. 

#7:BBC Learning English ( Ask a question)

Message1. by Sarah
Hello,
I have a question about the difference between of scene and site?
ex: Until 1972, all efforts by the two nations to curb the nuclear-arms race had foundered on one point: US insistence on the right to make on-site inspections of the Soviet strategic arsenal and Russia's refusal.

( From BBC teacher)

A 'site' is a specific place. This could be the site occupied by a building, or something much larger or smaller.

The word 'scene' is used to mean 'location'. In this sense it is not the place, but the location where some event takes place.

For example, in the theatre the actors 'act' on the stage. The stage is the 'site' where the 'scene' takes place. The stage is the location of the scene.

In other contexts, the 'scene' is the general location of the action or event - this may be restricted to only part of any specific 'site'. For example, if someone is murdered in the bedroom of their home the 'site' of the murder is the bedroom - but the 'scene' of the crime will probably be considered to be much larger by the police. They will define a much larger area as the 'scene of the crime' because they want to include all the area that could contain 'clues'. The scene could be the whole house, its garden and any other buildings, and an area around the house.

The point being made in your example text is that the US insists on actually going to the 'site' to make the inspection. There cannot be an inspection of, for example, documents relating to activity at the site, or remote sensing of the site. Going to the site means, of course, going into the country - and in the 70s there was simply too much suspicion of the 'real' motive.

In my option, the BBC  is good website, I able to solve my English question.
To me,  post on some question, the bbc teacher give meaning and example.
It's convenient and helpful.

#6:ESL Podcast 644 – Giving a Successful Presentation

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.

'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.' Jobs says

Day of day I will finished some work.
