I'm sorry... No, it's not. It's my fourth language. Unfortunately, I'll be taking IBHL A1 English...Scary, isn't it? When I first started learning English, which was 2 years ago, when I was almost 13, I picked up the British version of the English language. I've read many English grammar...

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm fascinated with the British version of English, not the American one! "I've got" often means that I have had something from the past and I still have it now at the very moment. It's in present perfect tense. Both "I've got" and "I've gotten" are...

Try Digital Fortress or Angels and Demons and you'll stick with the crowd forever. Also, I've heard that The Half-Blood Prince will be extremely terrific! :)

I just want to hear opinions on your favourite books of the series. :)

Welcome and enjoy! :)

I like spaceballs. :p

I was scared at first too but managed to eat the soup. Now I really like snake soup. It tastes good! No poison anyway! :)

Never use a dictionary, unless instructed to do so during a silent reading period in Advanced English Composition and Literature Year 9 (which is last year). No more silent reading period this year anyway! :)

Somewhere from 17th century to 19th century, I'd assume.

No school tomorrow if it'd be snowing. Hooray! ;)

I've eaten snake soup. The taste was ok. But I'm afraid I'm goanna die of poison in 3 more days. Haha, just kidding. :D

I'd recommend The Sorrow of War. It is a hauntingly powerful Vietnam war novel. Much of it is clearly autobiographical, and the blurred distinction between the narrator and the protagonist, Kien, eventually collapses. It is structured as a series of reminiscences, jumping backwards and forwards...

Bienvenue chez nous! Welcome here! :)

I haven't read many works written by John Steinbeck. I only finished The Grapes of Wrath for my English class. I'd say it's really touching, especially at the end where Rose of Sharon lets the stranger drink her milk. I'd also say it's my most favourite Steinbeck book so far. :)

I really like to read this book because the narrator tells the story from a diary view! That means that I know only what the diary holder is thinking, but it makes me guess what is going on as well. The book is interesting afterall. :)

I'm currently reading Crime and Punishment and I'm loving it. It has too many interesting symbols and themes for me to explore. :)

Does anyone know from where he's telling the story about his psychological breakdown near Christmas? My hypothesis is that he's telling it from a mental hospital but I'm not sure. He doesn't specify exactly where he is after going home and become sick. But oh well, I think he should be in a very...

There is assumption that it takes 13 books to complete the whole series. This makes quite a lot of sense because each book contains 13 chapters. Plus, I think 13 books should be enough "unfortunate" to end the series. ;)

I don't know if we could believe in the reliability of the test. Maybe it was created only to scare us. :rolleyes: Happy living in Hell, if you're banished there by the test. ;)

I'll not be doing A-level English next year. I'll be doing IBHL A1 English. A lot of fun, I hope. :)
