Today's doodle by Google


“My meaning simply is, that whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well; that whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely; that in great aims and in small, I have always been thoroughly in earnest.”
David Copperfield

AS WRITTEN BY MY COLLEAGUE VICKY

NOTTING HILL

The first week of November, we have the exam on Notting Hill, a wonderful book about love and other issues. Make sure you read it before the exam. We are sure you will read better by listening to the soundtrack of the film with the same title starred by Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. Enjoy the songs!
