Our school will discontinue its free bus service for students. The reason for this decision is that students ride the buses and the buses are expensive to operate. Currently, the buses run from the center of the campus and through some of the neighborhoods surrounding the campus. The money saved by eliminating the bus service will be the overcrowded student parking lots. about the decision, please contact our student office.

Every day when I check my e-mail inbox, of students complaining that writing is too hard.
They never write unless assignments require it. They find the writing process really painful. How awful to be able to a language but not to write it, English, with its rich vocabulary.
As a writing teacher, my task is to build fluency taking the opportunity inherent any writing activity to enhance the moral and emotional development of my students. One great way this is having students write in a journal in class every day. So please begin to write your diaries now!

When you are trying to make a good impression, you should "put your best foot forward". There are many opinions where this phrase came from, one being that it was believed that the left was the realm of the Devil, of evil and misfortune. After all, the Latin word "sinister" means "left", and in English, "sinister" has kept its ominous meaning. it is advisable to keep the left foot behind and step forward with the best, the right foot first. Nevertheless, this phrase seems from the fashion world, rather than mysterious. The saying can male vanity, particularly apparent in the late eighteenth century, the period of the dandy. The desire to attract people's attention and admiration took strange and organized forms.
