Some Reasons Why English Language Is Hard To Learn

These sentences are quite difficult to understand. You will need a dictionary to help you.
The difficulty is with the noun and the verb being spelt the same.

1. The bandage was wound around the wound.
2. The farm was used to produce produce.
3. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4. We must polish the Polish furniture.

KGRE Website Survey

Over the past 4 months KGRE asked website users to complete the KGRE Website Survey. One thousand people responded to the survey questions. Many of those respondents were Connection Clubs and their members so thank you very much. The survey has given us a lot of valuable and interesting information. For example, of the almost 1000 people who answered the 23 questions:

  • 62% are students
  • 45% are female and 55% are male
  • 74% are university students, 11% at SMA level and 10% are SMP students
  • 69% ‘log onto’ the website at a WARNET and 14% ‘log on’ in their office
