Dear all,

Gathering cancelled this coming Saturday!

Happy New Year!

Here are some excellent free sites for English learning:

To practice listening / reading / speaking -> http://www.ted.com/talks (subtitles available & famous speakers)

To practice writing -> http://lang-8.com/ (native speakers correct your writing for free)

Such a pity! I'm the new guy Victor, and I was planning to come and join as a member on this Saturday cuz I missed several gatherings recently. Guess I'll have to come next time~

to use TED.com to help ur speaking, u can watch the speeches with english subtitles and write down sentences u may use for english speaking, or some phrases/idioms you may have questions about which you can ask later. you can also take notes on how the good speakers manage to keep the audience interested, things like that.

you may notice that TED speakers limit their speeches to around 20 minutes, just like our club.
