Hi Michael,

For this sentence could we say: study hard, don’t fool around like me/ don’t follow/ tread in my footsteps/ steps, my daughter/ son?

"Study hard so you won't become like me." also works

Charles Wang You seem to be checking the FB comment plugin much more frequently than I am haha

Michael Wen, the words "...FB comment plugin....."

Could you tell me the meaning of PLUGIN in that case?

All kidding aside, you're a good Samaritan volunteering your free time to help others out and worth your salt.

Chuan Kai Lin A plugin is a function you can add to a website. What you are seeing in this discussion thread is in fact the Facebook comment plugin.
