Hi Sherry
I am a bit surprised that this forum didn't brain-drain and flourish on the facebook platform, which is a much more interactive and dynamic.

Re: 4/19 (Mon.) The Blind Side (Host: Robert Chao)
Besides being a story with American football as the background, the word "blind" in "blind side" also refers to how the story-plot transcends racial boundary. The football part of the story is actually just a sideshow. This movie/title serves as a reminder that in a pluralistic society, how we often...

Re: An inspiring story for learning English
You mean, why go overseas, when overseas can come to you?Julian 寫:I couldn't agree with you more, gentlemen. It's not necessary to go overseas to achieve a good English, but paying effort/attention is indispensable and that's my humble opinion.

Re: An inspiring story for learning English
Let me put it this way...
Fluency is the first base,
Articulate is the second
and Eloquence is the third.
But with effort and little bit of luck, almost anybody can hit it out of the ball park.

Re: 這位參賽者因為說了不恰當的笑話, 被川普Fired!!
Please allow me to digress for a while. What does "embrace sth with a stride" mean here? When using words to convey meanings, there are a few things to consider. 1. the literal 2. the metaphorical 3. the contextual 4. the intented 5. the perceived On a good day, all of the above should converge to ...

Re: 這位參賽者因為說了不恰當的笑話, 被川普Fired!!
For the sake of TV rating, Mr. Trump may have the authority in determining what is "恰當" in this instance. But, in real life, self-referential use of the phrase "white trash" is quite common. I hope this dramatic demostration of managerial tyranny isn't reflective of what is typical in the corporate ...

Re: 4/3 (Sat.) Happiness and Money (host: David Jr.)
Hi, dude What are you implying by saying " This could be the same reason why many veteran Yoyo members never bother to show up anymore" ? You mean the current Yo Yo members are more well-off than old members so we forget them? or you mean we are snobbish so they don't want to show up anymore? No ma...

Re: 4/3 (Sat.) Happiness and Money (host: David Jr.)
In reality, once you have shifted your income bracket favorably, you may find yourself in a different social circle that are far more snobbish. Soon, your reference of how much money is enough also shifts. Before, you humbly thought it would be nice to just have one LV bag and that is enough to put ...
