I deside to create a new list of english learning in my blog.

Do you have a habit of reading chinaDaily or some English website just like ebigear?

No matter if the answer is yes or no, I hope you can get something good for you in both web design and English learing.

 

These days a lot of people talk about Typhoon Nesat.It hit South China's Hainan province on Thursday after it swept past Hong Kong,government recalled ships to port,and suspended ferry services and flights in preparation for the typhoon after it passed through the Philippines,where it left at least 35 people dead and 45 missing.

 

About 58000 people were evacuated befor Nesat,the strongest typhoon to hit China this year.Packing winds of 150km/h at its center, it made landfall in Wenchang at 2:30 pm,bringing heavy wind and torrential rain to the city in eastern Hainan.

 

Hainan has stopped selling bus tickets and encouraged passengers who plan to take buses in the next two days to return their tickets.

 

No deaths were reported in Hong Kong and damage was minimal,but local television showed footage of at least two people who were hospitalized after being hit by failing debris as a result of strong wind. 

 

Macao was also affected,lots of schools and businesses were closed.Anyway the casinos remained open for the tourists(so crazy！)
