About Me
I am FOuzia Begum,a V.T member.
All V.T writers are my favorite person. I enjoy reading their writing so much that their entire name is in my memory.
I want to practice the words but I cannot make time to do that every day.
English is not my first language; so I want to improve my English language - speaking, writing and reading performance.
I will be very glad if any member, especially Ben Zimmer recommends something for me to change my learning tactic.
Regards for all V.T personnel,
FB

Favorite Word:
scapegoatIt is my understanding that, many innocent persons have been used as scapegoat in everyday life events. These people are illiterate, and don't know any complexity of this world. So I feel for them.
