Hi. This is the first time for me to learn this English lesson and listen to the tale. It’s fun although I can’t catch up with the whole story I think I know about half of it. But I try to follow three steps of the pracing lisening. I think it’s a good way to improve my English. And I hope it’s a good start for me to learn English. Thank you.
You are welcome Mai!

Hi. John
I can’t specify kinds of stories exactly but I think I like tales,scientific matter,mystery etc. And now I’m very keen to know about the disaster of the world in 2012.
Hi Mai
Recently I saw the movie ’2012′. It was a lot of fun!
Do you think the world will really end in 2012? Or is it kind of a hobby for you?
