I want to start telling that I'm English student so I apologize if I have mistakes.

In fact, I'm been doing this to improve my English with your comments. :) Thanks.

I've been thinking about in myself and each of all things that make me happy. 

Money? Work? Sex? Stuff? Love? Music? Food? Friends? Family? Travels?

What do you think? What kind of things make you feel happy?

CHOOSE IT...

They said: "Everybody has some problems..."

He said: "I know that... I know that..."

They said: "You should not protest..."

He said: "I can not protest..."

They said: "You should be so thankful... you should be grateful... that you are not the worst on the earth..."

He said: "No... that's not right... I MUST be so thankful... I MUST be so grateful... 'cause I'm not the worst on the earth...

I must choose one thing between two...

Which I like them both most on the earth...

It's the most impossible thing.

A symphony of colors

These artworks are made out of paper by Yulia Brodskaya. She is a Russian artist and famous for her handmade paper illustrations. She lives in the UK now. To me, her works are extraordinary, joyful and full of life.

She might have been annoyed due to my ignorance, for the heaven’s sake that was 5 am! what kind of call at this hour? Two missed calls, mum might have known I wont picked it up so she sent me a message instead of another call.

“Your auntie has died few minutes ago”

Teaching Adults

When we decide to teach adults, the awareness, as well as comprehension of whom we teach and what we learn, is essential here.

1) Adults do not want to waste the time.

Some adults take language courses because of a job requirement while others have their particular goal to attain (such as a language exam or a professional interview). Adults expect direct, practical benefit. All of them will raise the similar questions
• Why,
• What for,
• How,
• Who (is my teacher?),
• What else could I achieve in

Expector Smith's blog challenge

 

 

I was getting restless after waiting for Shiv for more than an hour

"I don't think he will come, Shoba. Just give up on him," my brother said to me.

"He might have got caught in the traffic," I told him without meeting his eyes.

"Then why didn't he call you and say so?" he inquired like a policeman.

"He may have called me. My phone is not working," I lied to him.

"Come on, face the truth, Shoba! If he is really interested in you why hasn't he come yet?" he wanted to know. 

I really had no answer f

Money spent on universities, unfortunately, is not always invested into quality education. Finland is one of the few countries where education is free, not only for citizens but also for foreigners. Following the same philosophy, the platform Eliademy was created.

Nowadays Internet is one of the most powerful ways of learning. With it, people learn languages, get a lot of useful information and even get education. Online lessons are ideal for home study, and even for those students who are studyi

Happiness

One day there was a young man sitting and blank gaze leading to a lake. He had travelled to many places to find a happiness, but anything or anyone couldn’t make him happy for long time. In silence, suddenly he heard a nasal voice from behind.

"What are you doing here, young man?" an old man who lived around the lake asked to that boy. A young man turned and said, “I am tired Sir, I have walked to many places searching for a happiness, but I can not find it. I don’t know where else the places tha

I was looking through the movies released in 2015, and I bumped into The Peanuts Movie. Imagine my surprise when I saw one of my favorite comic books has turned into a 3D movie. Charles M. Schulz and Bill Watterson are my most adored cartoonists. I learned a lot from good ol' Charlie Brown and Calvin & Hobbes when I was a kid and those lessons are making sense now!

A Phone Call

A phone call

When I received the phone call, someone on the other side asked me whether I could come for an interview just then. Finding their location near my work place, I agreed. After having my lunch I left t

A Friendly Ghost!

Topic taken from Seeker's 'Writing Prompt-2"

Last night I came across with a ghost. She seemed to be very dejected. She was weeping. I felt a deep sorrow for her and asked why she was wandering between heaven and earth. She told me the following story:

I have been wandering since I have given my life to my love. He had the coolest heart, but there had always been a warm smile on his face. He was handsome. In my eyes he was prince charming, but he had always filled with gloom. He might have b

Yes, this structure can be used to talk about the possibility that something happened in the past. 

For example, you can say 'Expector may/might/could have missed my blog.' (You're not certain whether it was actually the case, though.)

'Could have' can also be used to say there was a possibility of something happening in the past, but it didn't happen. For example, 'I could have been killed.' (But in fact you weren't killed.)

It's such a useful structure - let's try to create a blog to practice it.

:( I'm fine :)

Do you know anyone around you, who tries so hard to be chirpy during the family get-togethers, or in a friend's birthday party, but the moment the fun's over they look like a poster child for depression ads?

You think to yourself maybe I should go to them, give them a friendly nudge and say:" Hey pal, everything alright?" But in the end you just smile at them, they smile back and that's that.
