YEC Real Time--Merry X'mas--Got Plans?

Helloooo my friends of the YEC,

first of all, it's my honor to introduce you a new friend. In addition to Cliff, who came last week, today we had Janet among us. I believe it has been our delight to share her pleasurable company in class. In my understanding, she's currently a nurse, and like all of us, she's interested in learning English to improve her language skills. Too bad we didn't have more time to get to know her better but I'm sure we'll have plenty more from now on.
   According to survey in class, the YEC is scheduled to take a break on Xmas day so we
can take things easy without any rush, but we'll keep working our way through new year
day, which also falls on Sunday.
   And here, let me inform you that on Xmas eve, Sat.12/24, there will be a potluck supper at
the church at 18:00. As you might already know, Xmas is a time for family reunion; but if you're coming without you family members here, just let me know and I'll see that  the YEC friends are arranged together, like a family. And you might as well bring just enough food for 1~2
servings and your own flatware. By experience, potlucks at church end up with more than plenty due to generosity of people coming by; so if you're bringing nothing at all it doesn't matter much, either. (But don't you guys tell others I said so :)
   It is also a church tradition to have some spectacular activities right after supper, most of which will involve biblical story plays, hymn concerts, raffles, and so on. But I'm not sure of what they have in store this year. Something we can never miss is the benediction (blessing) of the pastor before we call it a day (the end of the night). Well, doesn't all this sound appealing to you? The atmosphere of Xmas is in the air, and I can almost hear the sounds of bells in my ears. Let me end this with a Xmas carol: "today a child is born on earth..." and he came for people like you and me. Merry Xmas. HO HO HO

YEC new friend

Hello my friends of the YEC,
let's welcome our new friend, Cliff Cheng. He found our blog on the internet and showed right up in class. May God bless him for his earnest pursuit. He is currently working for an electrical appliance company and he's eager to learn in order to meet the demands of his job. I'm sure he'll make a whole deal of progress after a time. If he doesn't, then who else can?
Today we haven't finished the lesson 6 yet so keep forging ahead with the remaining. It's only fair if you find yourself checking up the dictionary all the time because building up your vocabulary does takes a price, and you start paying for it right now. After all, no pain no gain. And God "blesses" all who help themselves. These words go for you, too. See you next Sunday.

YEC unit 6 The great confusion

Hi everyone,
we're about to proceed with lesson 6--The Great Confusion, so get prepared by then. And by the way, sorry about the mishap last time, since neither Cindy nor I showed up. There must have been "a great confusion" among those who came to class as usual. This time I hope to see more people returning to the YEC. God bless.

YEC Unit 5--The Flood

Hello my friends of the YEC,
Unit 5 is coming up next time we meet, so get ready as soon as you can. There goes attached the lesson itself for your preview. This time we''ll talk about the anger of God coming down upon all living things on earth. This episode reminds me of "the day after tomorrow". Perhaps the images from the movie will provide you with a more graphic and detailed idea about the days of Noah, but (reading) the bible is a testimony of God's wrath and pledge of love. I hope to see more of you guys showing up (especially those who didn't come back for quite a while). At any rate, God bless you all and see you.

YEC--pause reminder

hi my fellows of the YEC,
may i remind you that the YEC will go through a pause on 10/16 since some of our members will be joining the field trip of the church. We'll be back again on 10/23 to proceed with lesson 4 (vocabulary), which is also attached with this notice for those who didn't get it yet.
May God be with you and shine his grace upon everything you do. See you around.
