I am very competitive by nature so that feeling of neck and neck with anybody doesn't go down very well.Take learning English for instant:you study like mad to achieve the best grade and finally got onto the home straight.Well,until you discover that someone else beat you to it so is all gone down to the wire!:)

Dear teacher and followers,Actually, it is too difficult to see an internet program which is neck and neck with the Teacher. Obviously, The Theacher is the best one and we can learn a lot from it!In addition, I would like to say that sometimes, especially when it is Friday, I am on the home straight.P.S. Why are the frames and watch up side down?

I have taken an exam to get scholarship to study in the UK. It was neck and neck and down to the wire. I was so exhausted and on the home stretch then my examiner told me that I was sure to get a full scholarship after my interview. That was so fantastic^^
