Describe A person ( Tanya's)

Mary works in an advertising company and has a new colleague. His name is Mark. His handsome look catches much of ladies’ attention in the office but Mary doesn’t like him at all.  For her, Mark is really a snobbish and sarcastic. Well, when they met for the first time, he called her “a red mop”.  It really stung her because he was making fun of her. Of course, she has short red hair but it does not look like a mop at all! What a cruel man!

 Every day, Mary is trying very hard to avoid talking to

Have you ever wondered why characters are necessary in a narrative work?

If so (and if you are curious), in this brief article we will tell you why they are so important and why it is necessary to work on them so much.

Your characters carry the weight of the story

This is perhaps the most basic reason why. Without characters, there is no one to perform the actions you want to tell. It is as simple as that. Because of this, anything they decide to do while under the reader’s scrutiny must be somethi

The Hispter

Enna is what people in her country call a ‘hipster’. She always wants to be the first person to be up to date with the pulse of modern lifestyle. She wants to be the first to post a new opening of café or shops. She wants to be the first person to share the ‘in trend’ news in her Facebook feed. She likes to be seen patronising stylish café of which a cup of coffee is 3 – 4 times more expensive than a simple cup of coffee in a shop.

She likes to portray herself as to be up to quality as

What are you waiting for?

I had to wait my turn to play.

She sits on the corner waiting for her son.

He can't wait to get started again.

Just you wait till your father comes home!

Tom did not wait for a reply.

To me, the feeling of waiting is no fun. At all. It surrounds our personal and social life. You can't literally do anything without waiting- from waiting in line to cash a stupid check to waiting for your turn to get your tonsils yanked out of your freakin' throat by a psychotic doctor. And the punchline is that he's la

I'm reposting this previous blog because today 20th June 2016 is the World Refugee Day. Unlike many other commemorative days, I believed this day should not be happening again in this day and age. But as some statistics indicate, maybe about 60 millions people are displaced, either as refugees, asylum seekers, migrants or internally displaced persons.

According to UNHCR, World Refugee Day is to commemorates the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of refugees. 

There are so many questions

Tanya's blog challenge:To be up to

   Nina was a diligent country girl. One day she went to give an interview for a lady’s maid.

Survivor tree!! :D

The idea or rather the sign came to my thoughts spontaneously when I was reading setareh’s comment on my blog “My balcony garden” before finishing the post, I found that our stories are enormously similar. In other words, she inspired me! So I told myself why not share mine here.. Really I'm sorry for your fig tree, by the way me too, I missed a tree like you do, I have the same souvenir but it concerns
a grapefruit tree.

When I was approximately 5 years old we had a grapefruit sapling in our sm

Be a good egg!

Becha you're saying, "Yeah, right. Only in a parallel universe." And you're right! But think about it: You're a beautiful vase, a nice glass of wine or just a simple egg! Hey! Hey! Don't giggle. Let me finish. That hammer, that brick or that baseball bat represents all the problems, concerns or anxieties in your life. And you have to deal with them one way or another. Are you gonna give up and shatter into a million pieces or are you gonna 'kick it in the a**'?

P.S. A "good egg" is an expression.

Talking about the stock market, the first thing may come to minds is easy money some people get in stock markets. But this is only one side of the coin. The stock business can be risky, too; and you may lose your money all of a sudden. To be a successful investor, you should have a good knowledge of stock business or you can simply hire a stockbroker. I’ve never been to the stock market before. But as a learner of English, I’d like to learn some stock market vocabularies and share them with you,

        Teacher Expector gave this challenge..And it made me crazy…: to correct mitran..lol…I wonder…why he didn’t use these words : to correct mitran’s mistake. If he used like that then nothing happens. Now, because of him…I will understand the word “correct mitran” with another meaning.

(“to correct” is : to repair, to fix.)

        I love my face, body, skin…I love all. Although those are not perfect. But I accept it. Sometimes, I look at the mirror and find out…  I have a pretty face lol..lol
