None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mah-jong.

One day they played Mah-jong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the 'four columns' card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it "Singles Day".

Origin of Single's Day

do you know.
it's a funny.

阅读的方法，我主张一口气读下去，即便有个别单词挡道，只要不影响整体内容的理解，就不必停下来查词典，更没有必要见到好句子停下来就抄。因为那样会打断思路，影响阅读速度，甚至扼杀阅读的兴趣。不要以为读完一本书没有记下某个词语或某个句子就是一无所得。阅读的主要目的在于语言吸收上的“潜移默化”，在于获得语感。阅读需要“量”，没有大量的语言“输入”，是难以学好英语的。而我们国内的英语学习者恰恰语言输入量太少，当然输出量就更少。结果往往事倍功半。
我正在快克英语口语中心学习呢，这里小班授课,浸泡式母语式学习，师资和教学环境我都很满意，我想推荐给和我一样喜欢英语的同学，想学习英语口语的可以来免费试听。还有免费的英语学习资料送出呢。
