Hi, friends. Here again for another week this time seeming to be great as always. I have a special interest on “symptoms of depression” because this situation occurs more often than we can realize. Today there are more people living this desiase in the world, more than we can imagine. Doctors are doing researchews so that they can find a solution for those people.

Hey everyone,
I would like to share with you guys a guaranteed method to advance your writing skills.
I am sure that I am going to have the blessing/go ahead of our teachers with this.
Right now I feel like a genius, this is what you need to do:
Chose a social network, anyone will do. I prefer to apply my method on You Tube.
Now, once there pick someone at random and start provoking them.
It could be about her/his thumbnail or nickname or a reply to one comment.
If the person responds you go on provoking even more, always politely of course.
It works and besides that you are going to have fun as well.
I call this method random active trolling RAT.
You are welcome.
Bye
Hello world ,
Good stuff !!!
U know , when I first started writing here , I had high hopes that I would get my groove, in no time,given I had a headstart. I mean, I had been learning English for quite long time when I first was introduced to Eslpod.
I vividly remember that the first thing that I got a kick out of was writing comments on this very blog. It was and has been a good practice for me. as I admittedly was a very lousy writer back then. I mean , one of my sticking points in English language was writing. I would always found it very challenging to write even one paragraph;it took me hours to put it together one ,still the outcome was not promising at all.
I saw this blog as a good oprtunituny to hone up my writing skills. So , I commited!
I have tried to write as much as I could on this blog ever since.
U know ,all braging aside ,I believe I eventually got my writing groove. Nowadays ,It takes me 5 minutes ,give and take ,to write a paragraph and I don’t wreck my brain in the process

Nice try, Dan, “random active trolling RAT.” Maybe it works on me. May I choose you as a guineapig?
Aecio
Hey Pete.
I think that too. You definitely got better at it.
Bye.
Hey Aecio
Sure! go on, find me and give it a try. 😉
I am warning you, I am a professional troll.
bye.
I’m not afraid of you, Dan. Thing can happen both ways. I always read your words and I find them good because there is always one lesson to be learned and that’s great for me. I don’t know about you if you happen to like to have friends. I’m easy to make friends. Try.
