My Ukraine! I weep for you many a tear…
Oh, star of ill fate! What can ease this grieving?
Can the deepest grief help my motherland dear?
Little help are my tears – self-deceiving!
Lesya Ukraїnka, 1891
Three years have passed since Maidan, the Heavenly Hundred (in fact, they were more than a hundred) didn’t leave us forever, they are looking on us from the heaven and pray God for us. We should be worthy of their sacrifice.
My friends, here is my new intermediate test for you to master your knowledge. You may think it is more complicated than my previous intermediate tests, but it is not. The sentences are longer, but the grammar is the same. You know what to do, don't you?
Here is my attempt and my lexical sets focused on travel to foreign countries
I grew up in former East Germany (GDR). I think, many people around the world know a little about the history of Germany, especially about the both states GDR ( German Democratic Republic) and FRG (Federal Republic of Germany).
During the years of the existence of divided Germany it wasn't allowed for citizens of GDR to travel where ever they wanted. So we had the permisson to visit only socialistic countries, to Pola

Here in Germany many people have a garden at a garden colony. Colony means in that case there are many gardens at the same area. One garden is next the other. All gardens are connected throug narrow ways. You can go on a stroll around those garden colonies, then you have the opportunity to see all the different concepts how people form their gardens. No garden is equal to others.
The tradition of those gardens here in Germany is already very old but for some years it wasn't modern anymore
As travelers, we’re used to encountering more difficult situations than most people. There are many variables that couldn’t be predicted, and that’s why traveling is fascinating. Still, some issues along the way might not be that simple, and they could lead you to serious trouble.
One of the most common issues that come with traveling to different countries: the language. When you enter a different culture, you must be able to decently communicate with foreign speakers.
This is a predictable aspec
Tattoos are scarcely accepted by society in Japan. For example, people who have tattoos are often refused admittance to spas and pools. Most Japanese athletes and public service workers don't have tattoos. The reason is because most Yakuza(Japanese mafia) have tattoos, so some Japanese people are afraid of them and dislike them.
I hear that tattoos are accepted by society in Western countries as part of the fashion and I often see Western countries' athletes who have tattoos.
How much are tatt
My friends, today I will tell you how to use the tenses correctly speaking about the past actions not related to the present and how to use them if some events were in the past, but some of them are taking place now or are expected in the future.
The Sequence of Tenses in a story about the past actions not related to the present.
The first thing you should remember is the following: if you write or say any complex sentence with one or more subordinate clauses, one of the predicates must be in the

We all want to be happy but unfortunately some people fail, give up, others just complain, however this all is about us, in fact our own attitude matters. We decide, we feel, we try, we succeed!
Just imagine a puzzle – this puzzle is your life and each piece of it is one moment of your life. There are so many little pieces – moments we should enjoy and be happy about them. Our senses, our feelings, emotions they all can talk and we should learn to listen to them and follow them...
Maybe your life
Peppo's sentences written in Danny's grammar lesson motivated me to write this short story.
There is silence, at least for me, though all the cacophony of the traffic and the hullabaloo from the neighbors is coming from outside, but for me, it is silence, because no phone rings though she promised to call me. Hatred for this device is rising in me, because I can’t hate her, despite her being so rude, so hardhearted. I wish not to use the phone, not even touch it anymore. What is the use of thi
Missing You
You are far away ,
But You are too close in mind, in my Heart.
You can't talk to me,
But Your memory can talk to me.
You are Around me,
I am feeling your Hands around me.
I am not alone,
You are with me.
Nobody's love can be equal to your love,
Nobody can take care of me as You took care of me.
Nobody can replace you,
Though Someone can hold new position at Your place,
But Your place will always be yours in my heart.
For Someone Special, who is not with me, Even not in this World but in My heart
Yes, you may have failed to catch every words uttered by others. That doesn't mean your English is not so fluent - in fact, the speakers, not you, may have failed to clearly or correctly express what they were trying to convey.
You should let them repeat what they're trying to say if you can't understand what they're saying. What if they know they can't express themselves fluently but you seemd to have understood what was expressed wrong?

It is often difficult to measure the saturation characteristics of the common-mode coil core (whole or part). Morning fly electrons show that the simplicity of the test can be seen to see how much of the attenuation of the common-mode filter is affected by the amount of inductance reduction caused by the 60Hz programming current. This test requires an oscilloscope and a differential mode suppression network (DMRN). First, monitor the line voltage with an oscilloscope. According to the following
Hello there, Glad to be here among you all English lovers :)
Let's unleash our thoughts, for an idea is one of the most powerful things a human can produce. peace to all.
The following is a (very poor) translation of an Urdu poem I have done on the inspiration from dara's blog "Eyes"
These are roses, these are wine.
They are unique, they are fine.
There is love in them, even the hatred,
Blessings are the eyes, curses are the eyes.
Sometimes they are mischievous
Sometimes they are shy
Sometimes they hide the secrets of heart
Sometimes become the book of heart eyes.
Some feel them deep like lake
Some find mirage, in the eyes
When ‘she’ comes, people say,
Sir, ‘eyes’! Sir,
February 14th is just around the corner. That's right. It's just another day, people! I saw an ad which was so dumb it made me feel sorry for the girl. The girl - a model - tried to simplify the concept of February 14th to the audience. She said, "[...] it's so simple. Give and you shall receive." Wow! Everything is so clear now. Give a diamond, have a ... ya know, it rhymes with DJ.
On Friday's broadcast of "Real Time", Bill Maher said, "... with Valentine's Day coming up; everyone must take a m
I have decided to post this learning blog as I see you have some problems using the present and the future tenses correctly. Speaking about some future actions we often use the present tenses. Let’s consider when and how to use them.
1. If we speak about some future actions taking place on schedule (classes, transport, TV program, holidays, etc.), we use the present simple tense as we have no doubts about any schedule.
