You can earn points by writing articles, essays, stories, reports, etc. which will be published at the Think English website.
For such contribution to the website you will earn from 5 to 25 points.
You may write a text

Very nice site!
Hello! interesting site!
Hello!.. i’m really delighted with this site, congratulations!!:.
I’m student from ILAC and i’m in intermediate level. I would like to help as needed. I want to improve my English and i think that may be a good idea if we help each other.
However, the site is really nice!!..
Best,
Beatriz M
Beatriz,
I’m so glad you like the site!
It would be great to have you aboard! You’re always welcome here and I’m sure your help will be invaluable. If you have any ideas for articles, quizzes, reports, stories, insights, games, essays, etc., please, feel free to contact me at think.english[at]op.pl (or here) and I’ll be happy to publish your work at Think English. I am open to any input you want to contribute, so let me know
BTW, your site looks great too. Unfortunately, I’m not an expert in Spanish, though I like the sound of the language a lot – some years ago I even tried to learn the basics on the Internet, but now I don’t remember much. I’m sure one day I’ll have another go
Take care,
Ryszard
Hi buddy, your blog’ s design is simple and clean and i like it. Your blog posts are superb. Please keep them coming. Greets!!!
I’m grateful for you because of this good written content. You definitely did make my day :
I’ve been following your blog since you started. You have made amazing progress. This site is an inspiration for all pursuing a long transition versus the big chop.
