  1. They are students with a lot of essay and paper assignments and know that their writing skills are not the best.
  2. They are adults who have writing tasks as a part of their job tasks and responsibilities
  3. They are individuals who have goals of becoming authors, either fiction or non-fiction.
  4. They are individuals who want to make money providing copywriting for any number of web-based venues.

The question then becomes, how do you enh

I don't know what was the exact date where I began to be a member in this site. I'm just amazed upon checking up my Email that I just have been a member in November, 2013. Yes, I forgot that I signed up for this site, or perhaps that time I often sign in, in a couple of English learning websites where after signing up, I became not much interested or I could say I'm lack of Enthusiasm about learning English.


Just in the last week of February 2014, I was very bored ,that I wan

Man.. deceive me not. canst thou?

She was waiting for him in the cafe and was reading book while sipping some coffee. For each word she was swallowing dark coffee. Then one guy came swiftly toward her and said, "sorry, Sorry for making you wait.".
Girl said with smile, "I know.. you always come on time."
"I called you urgently because I want to discuss something which is really important".
He gazed at his mobile and turn it on silent mode. "Ok. Tell me, what happened?"
The girl gave him a pity look and hang her head. "I don't know h

She smelled like vanilla, her voice was sweet. Their eyes met, and he fell in love. Alluring scent of vanilla turned him into a zombie. He was fascinated, but she was cold. Playfully smiling at him, she passed. He knew her name, she had to come back tomorrow. He still remembered the smell of her and returned home. The memory of the smell haunted him and on the computer, the computer exuded the aroma of vanilla, and he fell asleep ...

   His dream was passing, he saw aliens, little men who carried

This game is not intended to embarrass, but rather to identify more with the members through automatic sincere revelation. I hope it does not exceed the red border but remain within the limits of respect. I will choose some members and ask him/her a question. After s/he answered, s/he will choose another member and ask a question. IF no one asked you a question but would like to participate, you may start and ask the member you have chosen ...... like this

I hope that you like it.

Lat night, sitting on the bed, I was thinking about our last two days activities. And, I felt good to remember how wonderful it was while my kid and I had found some shoal of little fish near of our feet! And, how did we try to take them into our hands and laughed after being unable.

Madona

I have currently eight dogs. The oldest, a German shepherd who came here at age 7, was "inherited" from my brother who was moving into an apartment and could not take him. He is now 11 years old. Five mutts who arrived here still young, almost newborns, and therefore were very spoiled. Paloma, a five-month-old puppy, autistic, that only allows me to cherish her after being trapped in a corner (although she likes caresses a lot). And Madonna, the mother of three of the puppies, rescued from a slu

A True Story

I remember one time about 30 years ago when I was visiting England on business. I was with a client one day and he was driving up the motorway M1. I remember as we were driving, I looked to the left and saw a service area where they offered petrol and had a restaurant and facilities for motorists.

At the entrance to the service area was a large sign that said:
NO FOOTBALL COACHES ALLOWED

What a strange sign. Now I knew that Football for them is what we call Soccer in America. I’m not s

I LOVE YOU Challenge

I LOVE YOU…. 

                Are words which we often hear from our loved ones, from our friends, from our kids, from our colleagues and from our superiors.  These magic words somehow captivated our hearts and made us feel special and valued.

                When a man utters those words to his girl, it means that she is precious to him.

                When a kid utters those words to his mom, it means that mom is very special to him.

                When a friend utters those words to his friend,

Intentionality not try

Trying to write something but i cannot even though i do not like this word "try". You can ask me why I do not like. Then I can ask you why not. Am I making confusion? Hahaha..please do not worry. However, certainly I can tell you we should not be adapted with this word "try". Because, suppose when someone ask you, "will you write me a letter" then you may answer, "Yes, I will try". And, this is ridiculous in a sense and literaly he will not write the letter to him. This is becuse it seems he has
