Hi Pugal
Thank you very much for your comment. I am very happy you find the blog useful.
I recently come across your blog somewhere which I don’t remember. But I am thankful to them that they introduced your blog to me. I am not good at English. Your blog gives me enough confident and ideas to improve my speaking and written English. I have way to go. I appreciate your help.
Thank you very much for your kind words,Zaf. I’m glad you find it useful!! 🙂
I tried to find a “message me” link, but I couldn’t; so I decided to comment on any topic just to let you know that your blog is amazing.
I’m an English teacher in Brazil and I came across your page through Facebook. It’s already saved as “favorite” on my browser.
Awesome job!
Congratulations!
Thanks Evelyn!
It’s a good blog, thanks for your help.
