I'd like to share my thoughts on "Jackpot Summer" by Elizabeth Friedland, a book I just finished reading yesterday. It is about 3 siblings who buy a lottery ticket despite struggling financially. They win, but have trouble...

Curlann That's totally understandable. Even if you've never won, its still fun to imagine how you'd manage a big windfall. What do you think would be the first thing you'd do if you won the lottery?

Loading the truck. Everything is in it now. I am ready for tomorrow except for making out my tags. I will get that done soon. I also set the canopy frame up in the yard by the old patio table. I have the legs set in flower pots...

Just finished reading Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. What resonated with me was Charlie's story and the struggle with poverty, and Matilda's love for reading. Roald Dahl's books always hit home....

Curlann That actually sounds like a really nice summer setup with the canopy and cucumbers growing up the frame. I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow with the move.

Curlann I'm really sorry you're going through this, especially so suddenly. That must be a lot to process in such a short time. Hoping things work out smoothly with whichever option you choose.

Curlann True! Charlie's story really hits differently when you think about how many people experienced something similar. It's nice that it also motivated you to work hard, and even better that you're in a place now where you can enjoy what you worked for.

Curlann That's interesting! I haven't read Rocky the Third yet, but it's nice to hear you enjoyed it. I hope it is available in our library here so I can also read it.

First, it was a drizzle. But now it is a full blown rain. But I just checked the weather app, it says cloudy but at 8am the sun will shine. There's no notice of an ounce of rain. It's 8:15am and it's raining. And I just hang...

Curlann Wow, nice surprise! The smell of the earth after the rain is the best. Hope the clothes dry quickly.

Is that I have to be more understanding and more patient. I learned that I shouldn't expect people to act and behave according to what I wish them to be or to behave like me. I should see their own potential and their...

Curlann Funny thing is I know that too but it is not always easy to be sensitive, especially when things catch us off guard. We all have moments I think where we react without thinking.

Curlann @Ineeddentures That’s really impressive, especially at 10 years old! But not all native speakers are at the highest level. Some don’t read or write as much. Your habit of always finding out the meaning of words is definitely a big advantage.

Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking about how we learn English. Some people find reading and listening easier than speaking and writing, or the other way around. I’m curious about your experience. Are your reading and listening skills...

Curlann @Ineeddentures Thanks for sharing, Jimlos. I can understand why you feel upset. If teachers and parents can’t control bad behavior, it must be very hard for everyone. I don’t know the best solution, but I agree it’s a big problem.

Curlann Absolutely, many ESL sites are super helpful. These CEFR tests are another great tool because they give a clear level and show where you might need improvement. Have you tried any online ESL tests yourself?

Curlann Wow, that’s impressive! A TOEIC score of 980+ is amazing. It’s great that your reading and listening were evenly matched too. I bet your teaching skills were really strong with that level. How did you feel about the test experience in...

Curlann That's understandable. College entrance tests can be intense! And wow, dreaming about exams is something I’ve definitely experienced too. Maybe your brain is just reminding you to relax a little.
