Never too old to learn

I have just received a letter from my old school informing me that my former head master,  Mr. Reginald Page, will be retiring next week. Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion. All those who have contributed towards the gift will sign their names in a large album which will be sent to the headmaster’s home. We shall all remember Mr. Page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school.
A great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honor next Thursday. It is a curious coincidence that the day before his retirement, Mr. Page will have been teaching for a total of forty years. After he has retired, He will devote himself to gardening. For him, this will be an entirely new hobby. But this does not matter, for, as, he has often remarked one is never too old to learn.

The future tense is also expressed with to + going + to + verb. This time markers for this type of future tense are similar to those used in the future tense with “will”. This describes the action activities and condition in future. Time markers are used: Next,….tomorrow, soon, in the future.

The best art critics
I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many  people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is about. Of course, many pictures are not about anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern picture better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my picture are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.
“What are you doing ? “she asked. “ I’m hanging this picture on wall “ I answered. . .
“It’s a new one. Do you like it ?” She looked at it critically for a moment. “It’s all right” she said, “but isn’t it upside-down ? “ I looked at it again. She was right ! It was !
