Example:
I believe that the chicken came before the egg because in the holy bible, it explains that god created creatures before their early offspring which in this example specifies the egg. The egg was produced later on when a male and female chicken mated, so for this specific reason, I believe that the chicken came before the egg.

So you think chinese is hard...

Well English is harder. I got a poem from french class to prove that English may be the hardest language in the world. No one in our class but the teacher could get over the third verse in 1:3o minutes. And even if you do, check your pronunciation!



I take it you already know
of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble but not you,
on hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
to learn of less familiar traps?

Beware of heard, a dreadful word
that looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead: it's said like bed, not bead;
For goodness' sake don't call it 'deed'!
Watch out for neat and great and threat
They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.

A moth is not a moth in mother
Nor both in bother, broth in brother,
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear,
And then there's dose and rose and lose--
Just look them up -- and goose and choose.
And cork and work and cards and ard*ward*

And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go and thwart and cart--
Come, come, I've hardly made a start!
A dreadful language? Man alive!
I'd mastered it when I was five.
