My Dear Young Friends: I wonder if the "little ones" in the dear home-land, who, with loving hearts and nimble fingers, did so much towards filling the boxes that came to this "Island of the Sea," would not like to hear something about "the children's table" in our Bazaar. I am sure they will be very glad and thankful to know that all their gifts came to us safely, and that it did us "good like a medicine," to see so many pretty and useful things that we knew were made by little fingers. I took a great deal of pains to show them to all the little girls in our Home, and to have them understand THE BAZAAR. 139 that the children in far-off America had been saving up their money, and spending their time to prepare all those gifts, because they loved them, and wanted to help to keep them in this pleasant Home, where they are taught of Jesus and his love. We gathered all the articles we fancied had been made by little fingers, and placed them in the middle of one of the long tables of our " Bazaar." How pretty was the sight of so many beautiful dolls, and their clothes, and their little bedsteads, and all the things children love so well! Then we told our little girls we would let them sell the pretty things, and how pleased and happy that made them, you can hardly imagine. As we have so many children, we arranged that they should take turns in selling, and placed some of the smallest on chairs near the larger ones. Dear Miss Guthrie had a busy time in directing all of them, and seeing that they were all dressed in their very best clothes; for you see, we wanted our children to look as well, when they were going to see strangers, as the dear mothers at home do. Sometimes it would be Minnie, Sono, Fannie, and...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who wants to make fewer (not less) grammar mistakes, a lively, effective, and witty guide to all the ins and outs of the English language, reminiscent of the New York Times bestseller Eats, Shoots & Leaves. Our language is changing, literary levels are declining, and our grasp of grammar is at a crisis point. From commas to colons, apostrophes to adverbs, there are countless ways we can make mistakes when writing or speaking. But do not despair! Great Britain’s most popular grammar guru has created the ultimate modern manual for English speakers on both sides of the Atlantic. In this brilliantly funny and accessible guide to proper punctuation and so much more, Gyles Brandreth explores the linguistic horrors of our times, tells us what we’ve been doing wrong and shows us how, in the future, we can get it right every time. Covering everything from dangling participles to transitive verbs, from age-old conundrums like “lay” vs. “lie,” to the confounding influences of social media on our everyday language, Have You Eaten Grandma? is an endlessly useful and entertaining resource for all.

Book excerpt: Ethel Baddeley a lively feisty young girl was born in Oldham in 1915 in poor but happy circumstances.Grandma's Letters tells the story of her growing up during the First World War and of her struggle as a young mum in the Second World War when her husband of just a few months left to fight the Japanese in Burma and India. Unbeknown to them at the time of his departure she was pregnant and it would be four long years before Ken would see his daughter.The last chapter tells of Ken's War deriven mainly from a diary which he kept of the long journey to reach Northern India and his stories of fighting a vicious enemy.However the major part of the book consists of Grandma Howard's letters all written when she was over eighty to her children and her six grandchildren. They say that letter writing is a dying art and that it is a great joy to read other's letters. Her letters are a joy. Repeated exactly as they were written, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and as she mentions complete with breaks for the toilet, a snooze or food. She writes about the birds and flowers in her garden, religion, politics, modern society, family values, the past, husband Ken, death and dying. She is funny, outrageous, frank,sensitive, warm and over the years has exasperated, enlightened, shocked and confounded her friends and family. Her letters are an insight into a lost world of good manners, respect and caring and reveal the daily struggle of the elderley to cope in a society so alien to that in which they grew up. At 91, her eyesight failing she no longer writes or paints but still rails against the fading of the light.A lovely unusual book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These stories were written in 2011. That Spring, I was going to visit my mother (who was 95 years old) in Japan. But the Tohoku region which is just north of where my family lives received terrible earthquake damage. Also, so many people died from the resulting tsunami. I was very sad altogether. I decided not to go there at that time. In the past, my mother had always looked forward to seeing me as soon as she found out that I was coming to visit. It was a disappointment to both of us. I really wanted to do something for her. I was thinking about my childhood and how wonderful it was because of my parents' tender care. I started drawing these pictures and stories came to my mind while I was doing it, so I wrote them down. When I was done, I sent them to her which made me feel somewhat better... *This version is good for anyone who are trying to learn English or Japanese.

Section 3 presents problems associated with the teaching and learning of foreign languages. Section 4 undertakes questions in corpus/computational linguistics.
