In an iota of a moment julia thought she loved him! ''Is it possible or a good decision to fall in love with a stranger? But, what I can do? He is just so handsome and what is say, eye catching. Even it seems tough to take my eyes off  him.''

''Get back, oh, no, shit! I just want to stay here for some time. Want to see him. Did he notice me? Am I looking beautiful today? Uff, I think, by this time, my hair

- a simple question!When my husband moved from a local company to a foreign company, his boss usually asked him: "How are you?"It was about 5 years or more he didn't use English. At the first time he answered: "I'm fine.". The second time he replied: "I' fine and you?"His boss continued to ask him "How are you?" the day later.

1. METHIONYLTHREONYLTHREONYGLUTAMINYLARGINYL…ISOLEUCINE 

Note the ellipses. All told, the full chemical name for the human protein titin is 189,819 letters, and takes about three-and-a-half hours to pronounce. The problem with including chemical names is that there’s essentially no limit to how long they can be. For example, naming a single strand of DNA, with its millions and millions of repeating base pairs, could eventually tab out at well over a billion letters.

Words that look or sound alike.

Yes, it is a very effective (base is effect) way to learn new words and remember them. And, If we don't practice regularly, its affect would not be good for our learning procedure.

There are some people who like to have processed food. Here, my suggestion is, people should try to know  the process of making. Anyway, do you know what procedure should I follow if I want to get a new passport?

I am not used to get dual sim in my cell phone. And even don't know who sells (base is sell) it or where. I

Idioms on the word 'cut'

Idioms on the word 'cut' are not CUT AND DRIED for me.


At the first look of Alice and Mishaikh’s blogs, I feel it is so complicated. I intend to CUT THROUGH them. However, when I read the meaning of each of them, I can be CLEAR CUT (But they are still very difficult to remember). So I will CUT TO THE CHASE: I 'm CUT THROAT trying to build sentences with those idioms. (I hope I can CUT THEM FINE. But It still seem like CUTING NO ICE. Some sentences are CUT OUT FOR the meaning.)

Punctuation Bloopers

Punctuation is used to create sense, clarity and stress in a sentence.  They are small signs that help to organize and provide structure to a sentence.  Sometimes we can think to ourselves, are these signs really necessary?  I mean can they actually make a difference?  I came across different punctuation mistakes on the internet, some were funny and strange but some were just downright wrong!  To say that punctuation can not only alter the content of the sentence but can create a distortion is a
