Middle age – an embarrassing age.
Too risky to have an affair; too costly to take up photography; too butterfingered to learn piano; too guilty to “add wastewater” on the Internet all day;
Still want to communicate; still desire to enrich mind; still yearn to learn something new although life is starting to go downhill.
How many choices are left? Not many. Maybe learning English is the best way out.
At this life stage, with a stable job, no more school exam stress, learning English at ease suddenly becomes a pleasant hobby for me.
Wherever I go, there are numerous learning materials, from a gigantic street billboard to a small restaurant coupon clipping. Whenever I open my mouth, there are always some kindhearted native speakers who are eager to correct my mistakes; plus one benefit - it seems that I will never be the suffering end of my strong Chinese accent.:D Last but not the least, whatever I post in this English forum, it will always incur many free bricks from my dear classmates. Life can't get any better, can it? Of course it can get better when the “brick” rain is not too intense to handle. Haha~~
