     I really like the ESL Quote Page in the Reading section because it teaches us about the people's culture and traditions. As we know,  people are known by what they say.

     I like this site because the articles are interesting and easy to read. I like the underlined words that link to a page providing the pronunciation and the definitions for these words. 
     I also like the background information that is given at the beginning of each article that explains many things to the reader. 

     I chose Impact Online because you can improve your learning and spelling at this site. You can also improve your vocabulary. You can learn new words and new information about a lot of interesting subjects such as Science and Airplane Construction..

    I found this site excellent because I really love movies. I think that it is very complete. Let me give you an example. I wanted to find out about the series Star Wars. This site showed me everything about it. It also showed me about the new movies that are being filmed at this moment in the series, the actors who are going to appear, and so on. 
     I think that this web site is very useful for students of English who like movies because, if you want to know about a movie, you can read everything that you want to know about it here. 

     This is a movie site where we can get information about movies produced between 1850 and 2005. We can read what the critics have said. We can learn everything about a movie in the past, present, or future. 
     Actually, in my opinion, this site is perfect. I really like it. The information is very extensive. 

      I really liked this site because it is very interesting. This site provides me with the information and details I require to know about movies and actors. In my opinion this site is very useful. You can see previews of movies before you go to the cinema.

     I went to the ESL Study Hall and I think that the best part is Reading. I visited Newspapers and Magazines. It was very interesting because I could read some newspapers like the Washington Post and also read some magazines like Time.
     I think that it is good because when I need some information, I can find it very easily. 
 

    Magazines & Newspapers is the most important and interesting site I visited in the ESL Study Hall.  It keeps me in touch with the latest news all over the word with the most famous magazines and newspapers such as Time magazine, the Washington Post, and others.

      I like this site because I am interested in knowing more about other cultures' holidays. It shows how people give importance to their traditions and stick with them. 
      I particularly like "St. Patrick's Day." I had always wanted to know about St. Patrick's Day because I lived in London for two years and had Irish friends who talked a lot about this holiday. 
       At this site I learned about the struggle of religious people to convert the Irish people from paganism to Christianity. It reminds me of the holy leader Mohammed who also tried hard to convert the Arab people and other nations to Islam. 
        I found it incredible that more than 100 US cities celebrate this special holiday. In other words, we can see clearly that the Irish people in America give the same importance to their traditions as people in my country. We also have special holidays which we give importance to. 

     Since I like to know about other cultures, I found this site, which is about US holidays, very interesting. It is useful for international students who are studying in the US because they can learn something valuable about American culture. 
     It is an enjoyable site. A person finds not only the holiday's dates but also the historical background, the activities performed during the holiday, and other features such as music and food. The site contains some pictures and colorful drawings of previous festivals. 
     While I was going through this site, I did not notice how long I was spending because I was enjoying reading this site. This is a good way, I think, to get used to reading and then improving our reading skills. 

     I am an international student so this site is useful because I am not familiar with the US holidays. Also I can get to know American culture through this site. 
     For example, I saw an article about Halloween. There were lots of categories and I chose "Halloween Postcards." Then I was able to see a lot of colorful postcards. 
     This site gives a lot of information about the US holidays.

     This site is a wonderful source for museum professionals and students. As I pursue museum studies, I sometimes lack information about other countries' museums. This site has an enormous list of museums all over the world. 
     My favorite feature on this site is search. One can search any information within the site by keyword. Moreover, the museum list by country is quite a useful tool to contact museums that have Web sites and an e-mail contact.
