come on,
big village,
be quick.
Bring packs."

"Every rustic
who delivers
in the village alehouse
his slow,
infrequent sentences,
may help to kill
or keep alive
the fatal superstitions
which clog his race."
William Kingdon Clifford
"We were young,
we were merry,
we were very,
very wise,
And the door stood open
at our feast,
When there passed us a woman
with the West in her eyes,
And a man with his back
to the East."
Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
"I work
with language.
I love
the flowers
of afterthought."
Bernard Malamud
"Games lubricate
the body
and the mind."
Benjamin Franklin
Greetings,

I helped two students Ginny Wu and Sunny Cai, prepare for a provincial speech contest in Zhuhai (near Macau). And the good news!

Both Ginny and Sunny won prizes. This is the first time that the Trade and Commerce School in Zhanjiang won a prize in an English Speech Contest. Big news at the school.
Sunny is the one with dimples. The smiles tell all....
While their Chinese English teacher, Angel Deng, did most of the work, I spent time with Sunny and Ginny helping them practice both their prepared and impromptu speeches.
Be well,
