Hi, just wondering, why does every link here go to another website?
Is UsingEnglish.com your website? Why aren’t the articles you write posted here? Just wondering because they are really great articles. I plan to use some of the 70 ways to improve your English as class activities for my students.
Umm, isn’t that what people usually do with blogs – publish elsewhere and then link to it from the blog?? UE not my website, just publish a lot of my stuff. Please feel free to use the stuff!
