Hi Ahjeen,

Thanks for your comments on LearnEnglish Teens. You mentioned that you are nine years old. I'm sorry to tell you that the Teens site is for students from 13 to 17 years old, so we can't publish any more of your comments.

But do you know LearnEnglish Kids? This is the site for students of your age group and you can join and comment there. The address is: www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglishkids

Best wishes and good luck with your studies!

Joanna (LearnEnglish Teens team)
