Groundhog Day or Groundhog’s Day is a traditional festival celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2. If the ground hog emerges and sees his shadow on this day, there will be 6 more weeks of winter. The origins of the tradition aren’t clear and its not backed up by any scientific facts.

The country’s most famous weather predicting groundhog Willie did not see his shadow when he woke up from his slumber Saturday in Wiarton, Ontario. So there will be an early spring this year. If its true everyone would be relieved a bit when cleaning up their drive ways after yesterdays snow storm.

There is also a movie called Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.

Just stumbled across a site Practical Conversations for English learners. Its a blog with basic English conversations both in text and audio format. They have pretty good collection of conversations. As written in a previous post the ebook English Survival kit has been written in the same idea with hundreds of conversations.

….the more I learn about English, the more I see what I lack. The process of learning English has also become a process of learning about life. Now I know that learning and progressing is what life is all about. There is no limit in learning of knowledge.
