I think it is an effective way to protect wild animals, as it means to stop killing from the source. Sometimes people kill for ridiculous reasons. For example, the sharp fin and bear paw are regarded as one of the most nutritive food, and also can be seen as a top fancy dish. But they are just meat from weird parts... The elephant poacher kill elephants only because of their ivories. But there are millions of materials can be shaped to decorations instead... I support “no trade no killing” with my two hands. We don't need to understand the "weird" needs from some "weird" groups, we just stop them to circulate in markets. If the animal products can not make money any more, there will be less and less people will work on it as a business. I think a sever penalty is also necessary accordingly.

I would like to practice English speaking. If anybody is interested in joining with me , please comment

Here's another bit of English slang for you all! 'Chuffed' -when someone is chuffed, they are very pleased or happy about something.

Though different cultures have diffenent ways to celebrate birthday, there are something in common. For example, adults all around the world usually put a certain number of candles on their children's birthday cakes. Each candle represents one year of the birthday child’s age. Then the child blows out the candles , makes a wish and cuts the cake. In my country, we usually have a party at home or out in a restaurant to celebrate birthday. Adults gather together to relax by talking about life and work while children eating birthday cakes and playing with their brothers, sisters or cousins. The party often lasts very later until everyone gets tired and go back home. A brithday can provides a chance to have a family reunion, the main character who is also the owner of the birthday will receive a lot of gifts from others. So, in my country, how to celebrate a brithday can be various, but all of the activities center around family. Family is the most important part of our culture.

What is your ideal day ? This is a speaking exercise to help you learn more words that are relevant to the topic. The idea is to come up with as many words as suit your story and then put it together (I help my students in my classes to do so), but as it's an exercise, you'll have to do it yourself. Let me know what the result is. Here are some ideas for you to use in your answer: I open/pull back the curtains (to let the sun in). / I open the blinds. I open/close the window(s). I make my/the bed. I stretch. / I do some stretching/stretches. I meditate. / I do some meditation. I do some light exercise. / I do some breathing exercises. I work out. / I go to the gym. / I do my morning workout. All you need to do is to assemble your words together into a story and the more you do it on daily basis - the better you'll get. Enjoy the process and don't be too judgemental of yourself. You can do it!!!

To be honest, I hate being stressed, because my body gets very sensitive to stress. My stomach gets cramps, and my face gets blushing. I often reduce stress through facing it directly. In most cases, we feel stressed when we regard something as important and we are afraid of the possibly negative result. For example, my boss assigns me challenging tasks that I am uncertain to complete them perfectly. I think the best way to get it through is to face it, no matter whether the result is good or not, there is an end. I can at least feel relieved from learning and improvement. But there are also other ways when we have options. For example, there is a stressing job pays you more and a easy job pays you less, you can choose a easy life if you already have enough life support. It is not always good to push yourself to embrace stress. I think proper stress may enhance your performance or bring out your potential, but living with strong stress for a long time can hurt your health somehow.

Hi im new here. I want to learn english language.

A teacher wanted to order scales which can show mass and weight at the same time. The vendor brought one and asked me to confirm. Considering the volume and the fact that never used one in the past, I asked him to return the stuff and said we don't need it, saving space and money. A teacher asked for Malonic acid to do an "Iodine clock" experiment, but we didn't have Malonic acid. I've found another method with vitamin C. A teacher wanted to do a practical, but she said a beaker won't work, because it has a spout. She asked for something which those top is flat. We got some glasses. But they are not enough. I tried the practical with a beaker and it worked because fires require at least 16 percent oxygen content to burn. A teacher asked for Inoculating Loops to do flame tests. I suggested her to use wooden splints, then we don't need to buy Inoculating Loops. A teach said the silver nitrate solution that we have was not concentrated enough (only 0.1 mol/l), I evaporated it, then it worked. A student asked for 5.0 M copper(II) sulfate, that means dissolving 125 g of CuSO4. 5H2O in 100cm3 of water. At room tem­per­a­ture (25 °С, 77 °F), the sol­u­bil­i­ty of cop­per(II) sul­fate pen­tahy­drate in wa­ter is only 35 g/100 g of wa­ter. I talked with the teacher, she suggested the student to reduce the concentration.

Yesterday, I bought 1 kg of avocados and there was three of them. The avocados are small but riped. They are buttery delicious. I bought them with less than 1 dollar but the milk I bought to mix with them was almost 2 dollars. Therefore, one glass of a smoothie took 10 thousands VND (nearly half a dollar). It reminds me about an avocado ice cream in Danang where I just travelled to some days ago. It is so out of this world that I bought some to the hotel after we had one each. The real fresh avocados with sweet icy cream makes me miss Danang. It is true yummier but much cheaper than if I make it at home.
