Jislaaik! Dawie is so skerp met taal soos 'n skaapboer se skeermes – blitsig en presies! Hy’t Afrikaans sommer by die horings gepak in ons eerste les en dit behoorlik baasgeraak. As Dawie só aangaan, gaan hy binnekort Afrikaans klap soos 'n braaibroodjie op ’n langnaweek. Lekker leer, lekker lag, sommer ’n plesier om 'n klas met hom te hê. Hou so aan, Dawie – jy’s tops!

It was a good first session where we learnt about the alphabet and short vowels. Dave is so excited to learn Arabic and could understand the lesson easily. All the best

    Happiest Time

    Doubtlessly, teenage years are the purest time in peoples' lives, when children are growing up not only on mentally, but also on physically. In my opinion, teenage years are form the basis of peoples' whole lives, which can bring a better future to them, if they make an efforts during that time.

    Some people prefer to grow up as soon as possible, especially the youth, who think that adult life brings more happiness. Firstly, people might be financially independent, once they finish their study studies and obtain satisfying jobs, so that they can choose themselves how to allocate their disposable income. To some extent, they do not need to ask their parents when they buy something that they really desire or to be decided by their parents what they should wear or eat. Secondly, they have more freedom would they acquire, for instance, when an adult, one does not need not to ask others whether or not they can drink or smoke. Whereas, after children grow up, they have to face more responsibilities, especially when they have a family as well. What I mean by this is that they need to earn enough money to bring up their babies and to take care for their parents at the same time. Furthermore, their jobs take a lot of time, and as a result, they have less time to enjoy leisure activities after their teenage years.

    On the other hand, many people always miss their childhood after they have grow up, although their material requirements have been satisfied. As I mentioned, young people need not to worry about their family’s financial problems, which are their parents’ duties. In addition, their family will accompany them after they go back home from schools and have prepared a big meal for them. While nowadays, teenagers have so such a heavy burden, which comes from their parents’ expectations and a large amount of homework, that they cannot even do sports or make friends on the weekend.

    All in all, I am still convinced that teenage years are the most precious and the happiest period in peoples' whole lives, when the youth have their family’s protection and company.

    Ich war auch vor kurzem in Wien und war total beeindruckt von der Architekur und der Schönheit der Stadt.  Es ist mir auch aufgefallen, dass Budapest und Wien sehr ähnlich sind.  Ich weiß nicht, ob du schon da warst, aber wenn es dir Wien gefällt, dann kann ich Budapest absolut empfehlen.  Die Gebäude sind grandiös, die Donau fließt durch das Herz der Stadt und das Wetter ist im Sommer herrlich.

    Both are commonly used, however "aging" is the grammatically correct answer. This is because the norm is to drop the final 'e' when forming the participle: Rage becomes raging as in: 'The storm was raging.'

    It means that you are worried that something dangerous or unpleasant might happen to you, as when you look over your shoulder, you are checking to see if anybody is in pursuit. For example, whilst walking home in the dark in an empty street, you may look over your shoulder constantly.

    Sun Quan's hometown 孙权故里

    San Guo is one of the most fantastic histories in China.
    三国是中国历史中最引人入胜的一段之一。
    As the founder of the Wu Kingdom,Sun Quan is highly praised: For thousands of years,(we)<strike>can't</strike> weren't able to find a hero like him.
    作为吴国的开国皇帝,孙权受到高度的赞誉:千古江山,英雄无觅孙仲谋处。
    Sun Quan's hometown is located in a very nice place:Surrounded by green hills,there are several streams flowing/passing by <strike>with</strike> plum trees covered with red flowers.
    孙权故里坐落在青山下,溪水旁,红梅正艳。
    I felt unreal while walking on the cobble<strike>r</strike>stone<strike>s</strike> paved path with stone<strike>s</strike> houses on both sides.
    走在鹅卵石铺就的小巷上,看着两侧的石头房子,我觉得有点恍惚。
    The village was like a maze. Although we had a simple map, we still got lost <strike>for</strike> many times.
    古村落就像一个迷宫,尽管简易地图在手,还是绕得七晕八素。
