Auld Lang Syne by Sissel (Live) Happy New Year
This evening, I got an email from a former student Henny (an entry about her http://june.ettachou.com/2013/09/07/henny/#more-8826). She would like to share her tips for preparing for IELTS with those who are going to take the test. As usual, she studied on her own, never going to cram school. She spent one and a half months preparing for the test and got a 7.5 out of 9. A good job, indeed! More admirable is her generosity . A woman with not only a mind but also a heart.
Henny is willing to help you prepare for IELTS or learn English. The following is her FB URL:

清晨八點的大學校園,在對岸,是學生爭相進教室準備的奮發景象;在台灣,則是空蕩蕩的校園,許多學生懶得起床,學校則多把課排在九點以後。這是台大教授薛承泰觀察到的兩岸校園對比景象,他說,由此看兩岸校園競爭力的落差,驚悚程度猶甚於一千顆飛彈對準台灣。
