I am very sorry to say that I think it would be very unfair for me to help you win a competition-unfair to
the other competitors!
But I will say that your article is very interesting and I wish you good luck. Your article makes some good
points that deserve (be worth) talking about in this column (栏目)!

Dear David,
I'm now learning English by myself. Can you introduce some useful websites where I can make friends
with foreigners? Please help me.

David writes:
Well, dear moonlight, I bet you made a good choice by using the Net in your self-studies. Two very good
websites I would suggest to you are:
www.britishcouncil.org.cn and www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglish.
By the way, for those readers interested in the teaching of English, there is also an Internet discussion group
called ELTCSChi-L (English Language Teaching Contacts Scheme China List) in a website.
And also, a healthy warning to all my readers: If over-used, the Internet can be a WOMBAT-A Waste of
Money, Brains and Time!
