Hi Jane, Nice meeting you here! I am chinese too.
I know it deeply, our government has blocked many websites for political reasons, which is not fair. This situation cannot be improved in a twinkle, could even become worse over time. However, please keep in mind that nothing is perfect, even the way the websites were blocked. Get up and look for the leak in the roof which shutting out daylight. There is a easiest way: try the proxy site: "Air-Proxy.com", which used to be very helpful. Enter the address of the website in the input frame and click the button with "surf!" on it. The only problem is the bandwidth has been limited badly via this site. Well, try to visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofFaY9P5EKI to hear what Claire bring us---the song of the week! You'd likely wait buffering for several minutes before catching it. Good Luck! :) Rui 2009/12/15 Jane Wu <[email protected]> > Hi Regina, > > Thanks for your information. > Without doubt,it is a good news for us with great interest in learning > English. > I'm a Chinese.In our country,we can not connect lots of famous > websites,such as Youtube, > Facebook,etc.I'll try my best to jion the learning coummunity. > Thanks again~! > Have a nice day~! > > Jane Wu > On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 10:32 PM, rvertiz <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Everyone, >> My name is Regina and as a native Spanish speaker and learner of >> English I am very interested in helping out other ESL learners.
