Hi everyone! I'm Mapleleaf Man from Canada. I'm here to help people learn English and learn about Canada. I've recently deleted many people from my friend's list.
IF YOU ADD ME, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE. I WILL NOT ACCEPT FRIENDS WHO HAVE NOT SENT ME A MESSAGE.
If you need help, send me a message explaining your problem. I don't have much time for oral chat but I do have some time for written chat on MSN or QQ. To be honest, most of my friends are female but I do send messages to many guys too, I just don't chat with guys.
If you read my blog or watch my movies, you'll learn some things about English that will help you. I've written many blog entries so go to my blog pages and pick up some tips on how to learn English.
This is a link to my blog.
If you are in China and you can't access my videos on youtube, check out my profile on youku.com. I've uploaded my videos to this new site, so you can cruise on over there and see any video that is on youtube. Here's the link: http://u.youku.com/toronto2001
I have made many videos on youtube.com.
youtube.com. Some are fun and some are about learning English. Here is

Only the latest video will be on my profile page. Take the link to view the older ones. It's nice to have
you here and please talk to me, send me messages, keep in touch and all of that nice stuff.
I've just added some more podcasts to my blog. You can find my latest entry HERE
Here is my latest video. It's pretty simple but it should explain why 'so' shouldn't be used in essays. Only use it in conversation. I hope that you find it useful.

Summer time...and the livin' is easy. Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high. Do you recognize the words? They are from an opera composed by George Gershwin, although you generally hear the song sung as a a jazz piece or in a blues style such as the one Janis Joplin did.
It's hot where I am, how about where you are? If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, it's summer but if you are in the Southern Hemisphere you are in the middle of winter. Right now, it's 32 degrees here in eastern Canada and much of the eastern United States is sweltering in a heat wave.
How do you say it's hot in English? Sweltering is a good word. Roasting is another. You will also hear this classic line, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity." On the radio these days you will hear two temperatures, the first is the pure temperature and the second is 'with the Humidex'. The Humidex scale adds degrees to the pure temperature, depending on the humidity. When it is humid, as you may know, it feels much hotter than it really is.
The reason it feels hotter is because your skin can't get rid of the perspiration as quickly because the air is already full of moisture. When it is dryer, it feels much cooler because the skin can get rid of the moisture faster due to evaporation.
I hope you can stay cool if you are in a hot zone. We have a pool in the backyard which makes it really nice when the air is warm. I was out for a swim last night at midnight, it was wonderful!
Thanks for reading. Keep cool if you can!
