As the members expected, she became very nervous and ready to make a fight for the smallest trifles. She stole money from her husband's wallet to buy her dope. Once he woke up and could not find her beside him. This time, his wallet was not there at all. What should he do? He wanted to go to work and all his cards were there. His identity card, ATM card and some important documents there. He could not drive his car. There was no gas. He could not even take a taxi. To wait for her until she comes

My friends, I see many of you have no idea of such a construction, so let me tell you about it. Its structure is:

                          A Subject + a predicate + the infinitive

We can say, there are two general cases:

1. The predicate is in the passive voice.  We use such a construction if the predicate is one of the verbs denoting sense perception, mental activity, suggestion, consideration, information. Here are some examples:

He is known to be a good football player. (It is known that he is a go

We have a German folk song with the title "The thoughts are free". First was this song published as text like a poem ... already in 1780.

It's based on written texts from the early 13th Century but the basic philosophy is already known from ancient times.

The last version of that poem got a melody and became a folk song with the time.

Just some lines from the early text from 1229:

The band can not find anyone,
Which binds my thoughts.
One catches woman and man,
Thoughts nobody can catch.

A friend of mine told me that writing could be a holistic cure for ached soul, a painkiller for a broken heart or at least a dew for a dry life. When she is disappointed with things that are not running as well as she wished or when she feels lonely or loses hope, she would grab a pen and diary to start writing down all the trash in her mind.

Why just sad moments? Well, that advice was given when I was drowned deep in sorrow. Of course, chirpy time should be great stuff to write so that it can bo

Two monks were on the road. They came from a very chaste Order, which was strictly forbidden to deal with women. One day they came to a river. There stood a beautiful woman who wanted to cross the river. Because the water was very deep, she could not do that without damaging her clothes. Then one of the monks took the woman on his shoulders, waded with her through the water, and set them dry on the other side of the river. Then the monks continued their hike. After four hours, the one monk bega

My friends, I am a little late with posting this blog, but I think it is always the right time to laugh at ourselves and to fool around! So, I propose you to write something funny about yourselves or tell a joke, a funny story or to tell us how you tricked somebody or were tricked. Any funny story is welome. Just relax and be yourselves!

I will start and tell you one joke.

Having a great time with his lover at home while his wife was away seeing her parents, a man was called from the office and to

All the countries in the world agreed to scrap all the existing nuclear weapons and not to produce any more of them from now on.
We have come to be able to allot all war expenditure in the world for education, welfare, research and development because all the countries get along well and so military isn't necessary any longer.
All leaders in the world are working hard to eliminate poverty, wars, violence, and crimes.

I had to post this writing on April fool's day.  

This beautiful fairyland is created by hard work, especially manual labor, and it is built with one block at a time. Even the picture in our mind is very beautiful, but everything would be void if we did not do anything.

The beautiful life and environment are the products of creation, and no matter how grand and beautiful the ideal is, it will not be realized without the practice of hard  work.

She opened the food packed and saw a freshly made soy-sauced meat stew, steamed rice, and some sliced mango as side dishes, aside from these a sealed water bottle. Her heart almost crushed by the feeling of deep gratitude, it’s not every day that she will receive something from a stranger. Usually, she observed people around her. They only care for themselves and for their loved ones, their welfares. They didn’t even bother to look at her like she has a contagious disease. At first, she was hurt

Sorry I was absent so long from MyEC, but I can't add comments - I can see your blogs, but 'Cancel' appears if I try to leave a comment. Even Josef has no idea what's wrong with my account. That's driving me up the wall or I was banging my head against a brick wall. 

Yes, I've just signed up with a new account. It seems I can add comments now under the new one - what a relief! You won't recognize how disappointed you are until you can't add comments on a blog or on a page. 

I'll keep the old acoun

My friends, I have explained almost all I could. I will go on posting the explanatory blogs if somebody reads them. I have added some other constructions, but the idea is for you to lean something new. Again, you should concentrate on the nonfinite forms, but there are also other mistakes.

There we go!

1. After having heard the familiar voice, I came of my room so that I could greet my friend. But having seen a stranger, I excused and went to my room.

If you like to party the exam period can be tough. After all, you’ve probably not been attending that many classes and your notes aren’t going to be that thorough. What’s more, the lure of the party scene is still going to be there when the exam period rolls around.

So how will you ever pass? Fortunately, it’s not as hard as you may think. You’ve just got to realize that the human brain works better in some ways than others and take advantage of that. It doesn’t end there either, as there are app

The old farmer had been worked at his small farm together with his son for years. The two had several fields and a strong horse that pulled the plow. One day the horse disappeared. "What a misfortune," whined the neighbors. But the farmer replied, "Luck or misfortune - who knows who knows?" One week later the horse came back and brought five wild horses with him. Again the neighbors came to the courtyard, this time to congratulate. But the farmer said, "Fortune or misfortune who knows who knows?
