| Alan's essay was very intresting and enjoyable. I learnt some new terms and phrases such as 'PIE IN THE SKY'. I just want to had that it is intresting how we can use the word sorry at times and really don't mean it. I think that the word is sometimes abused. :wink: |

| I really enjoyed reading this article. It' teaches you how to speak english fluently, not sounding awkward or odd. This kind of material comes handy when you feel you have some level but also that there's something missing. thank you for sharing this with us! |

| Thanks for the story! It was so much fun reading it. I wish I could write something that interesting. And the idea of learning English grammar unconsciously is brilliant. Actually for many English learners, partners to practice English with are not available. That's why I talk to myself all the time. :) |

| Really good essay. An example to follow. I wish I could write all essays and coursepapers on the same level, although it is just practice. The more you write the better it is. So just practice and practice and practice. |

Hi Olkozian,
Thanks for your comments. You are absolutely right about practice. How often do you practise? How do you find living in Switzerland? I'd be interested to hear.
