English-study Experience

English is an international language but too difficult to learn to different-culture people. There are thousands of words we should remember, and too many complex grammars to be applicated. Fortunatelly, I live in Edinburgh now, and have more opportunities to learn English, and I'd like to record the process of learning English and collect some good english passage in different situations...

The best way to improve writting skill

Long-term empty in writting before I built up this blog, I nearly forgot how to start an diary. But now it is much better that I write at least one passage per day, and felt more confident in writting. Different with reading, it is a process of output so that we should practise it every day as listening should be done so. Fortunatelly, I got a chance to close to english speakers every day and felt much better than before.

In addition, I'd like to pick up a nice passage every day.

The Pyramids
-from BBC History
These structures are so familiar, and yet are still stunning when you actually go inside them and walk through their claustrophobic passages - which can suddenly open out into a great gallery as much as 150 feet long and 30 feet high.
When they were first built, the pyramids were covered with a gleaming case of white limestone - some remains of it can still be seen on Chephre's pyramid. They were mostly then topped with a gilded capstone, which must have glittered in the sunlight. The great pyramid of Giza was built by the pharaoh Khufu, in the Old Kingdom, before 2500 BC, and soared nearly 500 feet into the air.
The ancient texts describe pyramids as being a kind of stairway to heaven for the king's soul - an idea it is easy to understand when faced with these extraordinary monuments.
