My dear friends! I see you like such kind of my tests. So, today I am proposing you just opposite one. I will give you 15 American words and will ask you to find their British synonyms. I will add the pictures for you to realize what I mean. Again, all the words are nouns defining ordinary things. I believe, it will be some easier for you to find the correct answers as most of you studied/learned British.
So, here is the list.
I think there isn't any person persons in the world who doesn't enjoy sweets, chocolates or ice creams. Honestly even a bite of any sweets sweet can cheer me up. As a big fan of it, there isn't any taste like sweets. Trying any sweets sweet in the coffee shops and specially with close friends can be so delighting. The sweetest question a waiter/waitress can ask is any sweets? ;-)
Sometimes I feel gloomy without any reason so the first thing coming to my mind is to help myself with a glass of hot

He has to go to a secret island. He doesn’t know anything about the island. A man said to him that he knew everything about that mysterious island, he said: “There isn’t any water or food there, and you can’t find any shelter. There aren’t any medical facilities and first aid, so it is necessary for you to buy a big backpack and all required thins before going on this trip”.
But another man said: “I know the secret island very well, there isn’t any shortage of water, food, housing, medical care i
Proverbs are well-known sayings and informative statements among the people of every nation. Proverbs usually date back to old days. They have handed out from one generation to another with the purpose of conveying some facts.
Every proverb might have had a true story or reasonable explanation behind them. Some of them are pretty self-explanatory, but some other need to be explained. We have a huge treasure of proverbs and expressions in our enriched language “Farsi”.

Who are normal people? To know the answer, read it till bottom line.
Since childhood we have seen many times that an abnormal person who doesn't take bath for years nor does he change his dress for a long time. He who by appearance, by attitude, and face looks mad. Even a medical report in respect of him is issued containing the detail information about his abnormality, yet when someone call him mad, he flares up at once, rather begins pelting stones on them angrily. We can say that this is the
Good bye again and for the last time
I won’t commit again this crime!
-Touch her… may be slow and sweet
She could wake up when you breathe
Next to her forever…
Good bye today, tomorrow, always
Each of us on our own ways.
Look a bit longer into her eyes
You’d understand why she dies
Next to you, well Whatever….
Good bye …words die out now
This is a promise to you, a vow.
-Hug her closer to your heart,
Never let to fall apart…

"Hello, hello, is anybody here? No answer! It seems someone is inside the house but no one comes to show up. Can anyone hear me? Listen, I am a passer by, coming from far away and I need help''.
" Hey, what do you want?'' Finally someone peeped out the window. '' Thanks, you finally came up, I need some water. Have you any water?'' "'Oh, yes, man, I have some. Okay, come in."
Then, the passerby stepped into the house. It was such a hot day, perspiration formed on his forehead. Mr. cafi asked, '
Do I have any belief that she doesn’t have any grudge or anger against me? I haven’t done anything which might have any cause to hurt her feelings. Then why isn’t she paying any heed to me. Am I nothing for her? Don’t I have any right to explain myself? Aren’t there any feelings in her for me. What I would do to draw her attention to revive our relationship? I will not be erring if I act in any way to prove my devotion, dedication and love. Or is

My dear friends! Today I am going to present the task teaching the difference between British and American English. So, I will post 15 British words and your task is to find their American synonyms. Of course, if you don’t know some given word, you may look it up.
So, here is the list.
'Any' can be very tricky to use. It's not uncommon for a learner to make mistakes when using the word 'any'. First, I'd like to give you some sentences for you to get the picture:
Have you got any books to read?
I haven't got any (books).
I haven't got any help, either.
Are you feeling any better now?
Any book will do - I just want something to read.
If any of them want(s) to join in the discussion, just let me know.
Is it any good/use crying over spilt milk?
So, you can see, 'any' is usually used i
It's been a while since I posted a blog in here. I missed writing, but after some time not writing anything, I guess my brain became stagnant. Thus, I just want to share a very poignant story which I read from the net. It's a poignant reminder to some of us, especially me, to seize a moment, even if it's a trivial thing. Sometimes, we never know if that small decision alter our perspective of lives.
Maybe some of you have read the story, but I hope you don't mind me sharing it in here. The origin
As an English language learner, would you prefer to practise with a native speaker or a fellow second-language learner? A native speaker, right? To reach this end, many people take part in language exchanges, which because of the internet and global travel, have become easier and easier.
However, it isn’t all plain sailing. You can meet all sorts of people; some you may not have a lot in common with; and others who aren’t as determined to progress as you are. Another problem can be, in spite
