My dear friends! One of our EC members, the Way to the Moon (hope, she is still on the Earth with us! Smile!), has just given me a great idea and I am about to implement it right away! Sure, when you hear or read English, you should catch the general sense and all my previous blogs were about understanding English idioms. But it is another matter when you start speaking or writing yourselves. You should be 100% sure how to use this or that idiom or not use it at all if you don't want to sound f

It is difficult to see how there would be a world of modern business, not whether business people from all over the world the possibility to understand each other, no problem to discuss on the phone any questions, enter into partnerships and other business relationships with complex contracts and simply talk over dinner.
English is now taught by people of all ages. Not only pupils and students,
We have been in Beijing twice. First time We just stayed for one night. But second time we went to roam around. Our hotel was near the airport.On the way we found every transport had to go through checking before entering Beijing.
We arrived at noon and went to Dicos to have launch. Then our hosts told us to get ready to go to see''Great wall''. Hey, we were not in proper clothing. So, we argued with them. And, told we want to go next morning.
They became a bit disappointed but accepted our demand

Have you seen lately anyone with a semicolon drawn on their skin?
This is the story about a nonprofit movement started in April 2013, in honor to Amy Bleuel's father, who took his own life, and to give voice to her own fight with mental illness:
"The idea was to encourage anyone haunted by these demons to draw a semicolon on their body, photograph it, and share it to encourage love and to inspire."
Why a semicolon?
This 'movement' took the semicolon as symbol to the choice to continue life, beca

During our China visit, we stayed most of the time in Tianjin. It is a port city. Our seminar was about economical development for Bangladesh. So, we visited its free trade zone, special economic zone, scientific park etc. But, of course we got chances to do shopping, eating outside and to roam around in some important places of this city.
In the very beginning most of the tress were barren. But after some days we enjoyed blossoms. Though not sure about their names. Some flowers were deep pink,

First off, don't hate me; I'm just a messenger. Second, how many times have you bought a famous brand name and kicked yourself for doing it? I'm not one to judge (I am, actually), but it seems like that some companies tend to decrease the quality of their products drastically the very moment they make sure that they won't end up like The Bluth Company! I could name a dozen real enterprises who failed miserably, but let's not go there. To add insult to injury, some companies don't even bother to
When the students are facing any academic challenge, they have an alternative to use the services of the experts in the field and gain high marks. Finance being a practical subject requires huge attention by the students as well as by the businessmen or anyone else. The Indian economy has suffered from a huge loss in the recent past because of the poor financial conditions as well as poor strategies adopted by the government. Finance is also a subject, which is used to keep a track of records, w
" There is no heart as big....as your smile, when u laugh, cry, or even when you are sad; fallen like a star, mad; looking upset from afar, or even glad, with your eyes sparkling like million flashes of brilliant light in the cold, and dark night. You might sometimes get jumpy like a little green frog, found jumping from one log to the next, never seeing our most common, middle ground. We may fight light cats, and dogs, but at the end of the day it wont matter who is right or wrong, because the

I want to tell you what measures you should take before going to china. Don't get me wrong. Of course, it is a nice country to visit. But I think we should know something.
1. First check out the weather forecast. Its northern part is colder than the southern part. So, if you are going to visit Beijing and near of it during winter or in the beginning of spring, please bring your winter clothing more.
2. Although it says spring begins from February but believe me it is cold and windy before April.
My dear firiends! Here I am again with five other expressions for you to guess. Again, you should replace a phrasal verb with a single word (that is neither a phrasal verb nor an idiom) without googling or looking up your dictionaries. I think it will be my last blog about idioms and next time I will think up something different for you. I will be glad to hear your ideas about kind of tasks you would like to get. All your wishes will be taken into account.
And now, here are five other sentences.
Undoubtedly, Bismarck contributed to a great extent to the unification of Germany. His diplomatic skills worked in favor of creating a united Germany. His greatness was in going with events so as to master them. Since 1848, several international situations favored Bismarck in uniting Germany.

Two days ago I got back from China. I went there to attend in a seminar. Yes, it was my official tour and we were 18 in number.
In the very beginning I was worried about the weather condition. You may understand, I am from a place where winter means cold country's fall! So, I kept googling and asking my known persons to get real weather forecast.
We started our journey in March, 5 to Guangzhou and then flew again to Beijing. We reached Beijing at 12.30 a.m. I felt really cold when I stepped out f
