My favourite is this. While at work my mate spotted a lad who was a dead ringer for Harry Potter. Quick as a flash i piped up "go tell him he owes us a quidditch!"

Our teacher is going to test us on this poem and I don't have a clue on it!! the words are beautiful, though... pity I don't know the meaning behind the poem.. TT
It is a part of "How the Hills are Distant:" by Wong Pui Nam.

Here it goes:

The mist drifting across the field
edges up the compound of my house,
along the foot of the hibiscus hedge
moving vaguely like fear among the cane.

I sit up to watch, as I have on many nights
from my darkness at the window,
my heart precise within these walls,
my room with its table and rumpled bed.

It is imminent; in the sudden smell
of wet grass and stir among the frangipani,
in the straight tensed fence-posts in half-light

against the margin of encroaching sleep
where I anticipate only, a waking
to vague remembrance of a harrowing in my dream.

...or use proper grammer. I'm not an English major, but then again this is not brain surgery. Did you learn nothing in high school English? (or are you not in high school yet?) There was a similar question posed and the best response chosen was that this is an "informal" discussion. I agree, but when you see questions like "i car way high down red street why boyfriend?" I have to step back and go "What!?".

This may seem like a stupid question, but the thing is I live in Spain at the moment, and I'm studying ESO(which is basically compulsory secondary education), but I'm moving to the UK next year, and am going to be in Sixth Form. My question is, will I have to do GCSE's in order to be accepted, even if I've passed everything in Spain? Or will being qualified with my Spanish Studies be enough for me to do A-levels (I'm bilingual so the language shouldn't be a problem)?

Ok, I'm in eighth grade.
All my older sisters and brothers are super smart. They ALWAYS get 3.8 or higher. It doesn't even seem like they struggle in any subject.
Unfortunetly, I'm not the same way. I always recieve 1 C on my report card from one subject and I get a 3.0-3.2 for my G.P.A.
My problem is I struggle for every subject. MOSTLY MATH!
I had a math test and the day before my sister helped me study for it, and we studied together for over an 1 and a half. I nailed everything. I was so excited to go to school the next day, because I wanted to show my teacher how I WILL get EXCELLENT grades from now on. I thought I did great on the test.
When I recieved it back I got a 70%. I was so dissapointed I started crying real bad. Why is this so hard for me. For everyone in my family and all my friends its soooo easy for them.
What do I do?
I CAN NOT DO THIS NEXT YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL! PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE!
