LEARNING ENGLISH IS EASY? There is more to English than meets the eye

The reason why there are differences is because both are living languages, absorbing words and inventing new ones relentlessly. With movies, TV, internet and books, people can translate as they go along on either side of the Atlantic. Nevertheless there still seems to be wide differences between the two cultures.

WEB WARS Robert the Bruce was fighting for the independence of Scotland against the English, but he lost a battle and was hiding in a cave.

There are times, however when we should take the lead. As a leader we are in a better position to influence future outcomes. We may not be the official leader, but nevertheless we can take the lead and in effect we have some or all of the power of leadership.
