  • Hello Dhanya and Kamal!

    Nice to hear from you! I can't edit anyone's comments, Dhanya, you have to POST a message via www.blogger.com
    In any case, don't worry about making mistakes, just communicate.

    Dear Kamal

    Did I say that? Maybe I was just making conversation - was it during the mock Speaking test? There was no ulterior or sinister motive behind my question - honest!

    As I said before, I admire your openness, sincerity and personality.
    I will invite you to join this new weblog, and you can use blogmember account in the meantime to post actual messages.

    Caio

  • Hello again Kamal!

    Yes, a rich vocabulary is the mark of a well-read person.

    Try also the BBC world service website for learning English - it focuses on useful words in the news.

    There is also that Macmillan English Dictionary website - www.onestopenglish.com - they have a free on-line magazine as well that supplements their excellent dictionary (it has a CD component as well.)

    Good luck with the Oz trip and upcoming exam. I love National Geographic (we subscribe to it)and think it is terrific information and entertainment.

    So, one tip for the future: never be satisfied with your mastery of English, always seek to fine tune your appreciation of the nuances (shades) of meaning that make English such a rich, fascinating language. I'm still learning new words all the time!

    Enjoy the weekend, I had a lovely day with Zeena and her friend by the pool and in the sea today!

    Take care

    Tony

    ps The Khaleej Times is fabulous value for Dhs 2 a day - it reprints articles from the UK Guardian and Observer newspapers
