Hi, everyone!

I've been a member of this learning English community since last year. I was working as an online teacher of English back in the Philippines when I got interested in joining this community. I'm currently working in Qatar as an office administrator. I have always loved reading my email lessons and they are great materials for learning the English language. I would be glad to post my recorded voice in the forum next time.

Best regards,

Marianne

This is from an online dictionary that you can easily find - "branch = a natural subdivision of a plant stem ; especially : a secondary shoot or stem (as a bough) arising from a main axis (as of a tree).
