how about "well done".7 }: H7 l4 j7 ]4 p* ~1 ^& {
how about "i am feeling good".
' x% F: u5 Y8 L/ p; J  syour reply is better this time. at least, this is no fat, no abnormal writen style. i am not so annoying actually. but i think that  if you want to point out someone's english problem, you should mind yours at first. show norman's reply to your english teacher or english-speaking. i believe he will show you his tongue., _) ?( q' y, ?& _

. `2 S9 D% P0 T: Q+ `7 \Rongol: the phrase 'well done' and 'I am feeling good' are both correct, but 'How well can you speak' is also correct.  I don't mind you critizing my English as everybody, including you and I, can be wrong.  I critized a specific sentence of yours but not you as a person, but you seem to take it so personally.2 k) u# u' E2 e

p.s.: the reason we use 'I am feeling good' is that for sense verbs like 'see', 'smell', 'feel', etc. you follow it with an adjective.  In this case, we use 'good' after 'am feelilng'.
