Tuesdays with Morrie

This book has a really good ending because it is filled with emotions. The author, Mitch Albom, reflects about the wonderful moments he had with his professor in the past. The dialogues he uses draws readers to the past as if they were re-living memorable times he had with his professor.

The conclusion ends with a happy ending whereby Mitch and his brother become more bonded and are willing share their jokes and stories.

The best part of this ending is when Mitch explains how this book came about and how the book got its title "Tuesdays with Morrie". This book was meant to be Mitch and Morrie's final thesis. And the title "Tuesdays with Morrie" came about when Mitch suggested "Tuesdays with Morrie" in Morrie's office on one of the days he visited Morrie.

English is....

In my view, English is essential in our lives. We need English to communicate well, especially now when it is most commonly used around the world. We are very fortunate to be able to start learning English at a young age in Singapore and we should treasure this opportunity to grasp the language as much as possible.

English is widely used as a means of communication in commercial world. If we do not understand English it would be a disadvantage when we compete in the commercial world. Although English might not be easy to learn for some people, more people are making the effort to learn English so that they would stand a higher chance to succeed in the commercial world.

Therefore, I feel that English is a very useful language to learn and everyone should at least learn how to speak and read English so as to communicate with people around the world. We should try our best to master English.
