[quote=\"chuaeil\"]Hi,

I am looking for a grammar resource book for parent so that it will help me when I speak to them. Any recommendation? TIA

I take it that you're an English teacher?

There is one book which I find quite comprehensive and well-written, and it makes for a good reference, especially for primary school. I use it as part of my teaching regime.

Has anyone compared Nespresso with the Nescafe Dolce Gusto (I am not sure if I got the name right)? I heard the Nescafe is much more convenient because everything comes together but is the taste significantly different?

The Nespresso is designed for coffee gourmands, so compared to the Dolce, there is a large range of coffee. And unlike the Dolce, you can't make other types of beverages like tea and hot chocolate with the Nessie. But I've heard of people making tea with those machines by using re-usable capsules.

I gave away my Nessie some time ago because I wanted to grind my own beans (using a burr grinder) and brew my coffee using an 15ATM espresso machine. I get my hands dirty for a cuppa but the result is well worth it.
