Favourite Webiste #2

Back in the university, remember all the documentaries my professors showed me on the current art trend and artists. I later figure out that I can watch some of the documentaries on PBS online. Plus, there some interesting programs, such as, Frontline. Although, the show itself is American made, some aspect of the shows are still informative and neutral. There are quite a few take on politics international and domestically. Their view might not be as neutral, but still interesting to see what our neighbour are thinking.

Favourite Website #1

One site I tend to visit quite frequently is BBC.

I am not talking its news website, but the other services that provides on it, such as, BBC Language, and BBC Learning. The key element in BBC Language and BBC Learning are all their teaching programs are well planned and easily followed. Plus, there are online podcast lectures and interactive exercise, which enhance people's desire to learn.
