OH,I've done my work finally. Why days are studded with annoyances/hazards/bloodymindedstupidity? Why not those blokes just stop buzzing and lend my room a piece of tranquilness? Shove my slippers up their slippery mouth!
Lynn, you've blown me away. You're perfecting your skills and developing your own style. I guess you might prefer cutting brightness and bluring the outlines of the figure? That's an effective tactic, though, adding a subtle, enigmatic flavour to your images. Is that what you are aiming for?

Wow, Annis, your English is quite well actually. Don't humble yourself

Referring to vocabulary learning, I'm also a novice at the realm and never a decent teacher either. So maybe the sole tip I can offer here is ignoring any Chinese words,gramma and sentence skills hanging out in your mind while you're reading English and try English-to-English dictionary(not an English-to-Chinese one) to confirm the accuracy of definition.
