Hello everyone,
I am sorry, but I found this on a science blog:
“For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”
This is a statement from Mr. Amstrong’s family.
I just wanted to share it with you guys, isnt’it beautiful?
Bye.
Man,eslpod is fun ,isn’t it?
Guys ,
If you think you got a hang of English language because Jeff talks you though a couple of new letters and words. Well, think again.
If you really wanna get a firm grip on English language Join learning guid. You should check for yourself . Then,you will see what I m talking about
Common people ,you spend way more than 10 dollars a month on just coffee
You know what ,The advantage of signing on learning guid is fourfold:
1) you help our and only eslpod continues on for the years to come
2) you expedite your learning process exponentially
3) you get to read everything Jeff says espacialky on English cafe episode which is a delightful experiens that hones your comprehension, reading skills.
4) you familiarize yourself with cultural and social application of English words,slangs ,and terms which I found very useful.
And, the most important of all ,reading through learning guid ,you can follow the trail of punctuation and how it applies,a useful skill that is very hard to come by.
Using the right punctuation rules in a given sentence is the key to get the intended massage across

Hi! Yes, very poetical “see the moon smiling down at you”…
Thank you.
I laughed when I heard “yeah” in the end of the first episode.
I am from Thailand. I really like the ESL Podcast as I download it in my smart phone and listen it everyday. I must say that it is really helpful to me because I am quite poor in Listening part. However, my listening skill can be improved by this tools. Thank you Dr. Jeff and all ESL staffs.
Anyway Can I have Dr. Jeff’s email?

Hi guys,
Just so you know ,
I took a few days off holing up at a cottage ,a small cabin by a beach called Wasaga beach.
Wasaga beach is A city situated in the southern end of Gerigian Bay. It is a prime tourist destination for Torontonians in summer time ,mostly on the weekends.
There is not much going on during the week ,though. It is a good place for a bit of a downtime ,away from The hustle and bustle of the city.
It is a good two-hour drive from Toronto. When you drive alone , two-hour drive feels like you drive to the other side of the moon.
It makes a good listening time for me,thouh:)) I just got here. So ,I figured , what the hell, let’s drop a line here.
I dont own the cabine ,I rented the cabine
Yours
The loner :))
Have a nice time, Peter.
I envy you.
I wish I can do the same as you, drive two hours to a nice tourists attraction, and, just enjoy what the nature has offered us – the nature.
All the best
Betty ??
