Spring is the season, that drops the reason of lovers who are truly true
Young birds are mating, while I am waiting waiting for you.
Darling you haunt me, say do you want me
And if it is so, when are we meeting, cause love you know
That time is fleeting, time is fleeting, time is fleeting.
My heart is beating, keeps on repeating
I am waiting for you
My love encloses a plot of roses
And when shall be then our next meeting, cause love you know

Reading comprehension skills help students do far more than
just read. Reading enhances other essential ESL skills like
speaking, listening and writing. Putting reading comprehension
to use will also allow students to build vocabulary, practice
pronunciation and develop grammar knowledge subconsciously.
Once students begin improving by reading, their thirst for more
reading material will grow. They’ll most definitely turn to reading
for education and entertainment. Reading comprehension opens
the door to infinite knowledge. Reading comprehension is also a
key component to almost all formal ESL tests they may be
required to pass in order to go abroad or get their dream job with
an international company.
