What does " Reinvent the whell" mean ? thank you !

Can a book really change your life ? What's your favorite book ? Victor Hugo said « La lumière est dans le livre. Ouvrez le livre tout grand. Laissez-le rayonner, laissez-le faire. » I like reading and I study Literature. I would like to know what do you think about books, what are your experiences with reading.

Past tenses in English Hi, I'm trying to learn English. I have a huge problem with past tenses. I don't know how to use past perfect, past perfect continous, present perfect, present perfect continous... I hope you can help me ! Thanks Jordan =) But I know that. I mean my real problem is past tenses with "had", "been", etc ...

Introducing myself Hi =) My name is Féria, I'm a young french student. I live in Paris. I study Litterature at University. I love writing and reading that's why I chose these studies, I learn exactly what interested me. I read all the time and I wish I could read in English without problem soon. Traslations are never perfect. My biggest dream is to become a journalist because I think it's the ideal job to do what I like. I chose this site to improve my English and to help others with French. I really think that it's a good way to learn because it's different from my usual class. It's interesting to learn by meeting people and by talking to them.
