Some people say that one actually needs to go abroad to learn English well. In my opinion, however, to learn English well has many ways. It can depend on one’s motivation in purchasing knowledge and sources of environment.
One may want to study English because his or her job requires such language to work well. On the other hand, one might just simply want to broaden his or her mind. Whatever the reason is, it is necessary that one clearly understands what the motivation is of his/her learning English. Once one has the motivations in studying the language, he/she only needs to spend time on it. Besides motivations, it is considered important to use information. One can go to a library, a cram school, and surfing the Internet to learn English.
To learn English well definitely takes time. Except for the elements mentioned, the most important of all is to practice nonstop. In conclusion, one doesn’t have to study abroad to learn things well, keeping on working is the best way.

The saying goes: Cameras never lies. However, as the technology became more and more advanced, a lot of pictures could be adjusted. Many of the pictures we see today are colored or shaded.

What’s more, the stars' slender figure and wrinkles were modified using computer effect.
When celebrities are being snapped a shot, they don’t need to show their feelings. What really shows is the moment they being taken a picture. Cameras can now be used anywhere and anytime because they have a lot of functions to choose from. For example, if it’s night time I could choose a day time mode.
Next time when I see beautiful pictures of celebrities or the famous, I would definitely think twice before saying how great they look.
