    Hello you all,
    My new resulution for this year is commite more to Eslpod learning we got going here ,and to get rid of my accent.
    Too ambitious ,huh?
    Actually , the above  resulution has been my top resolution in my resulution list for years . Honest , I
    Start out a new year so eager and determined to make all my resolutions happen. But,two weeks through the year I forgot about them already. Well, I admit it . I m weak. 
    But, one thing I ll tell you, I always stick to my resulution about learning more of Englsh  via Eslpod. And ,the accent resulution. 
    Truth to be told , I have always failed on the accent part. It is still there taunting me:))
    However,I always shoot high and hope for the best. 
    Hey, crazy flukes happen. You never know. 
    They key is to keep your hopes  high

    Happy new year folks
