This question got better my understanding about the subject in my mind before I have read an article that answered this . So, I want to show for you what I've learnt from this reading, sharing with all of you here and now my observations about the airplane flying and, of course, making clear for who doesn't know the motivation for the aircrafts fly, the

A story of a man climbing enthusiasts decided to realize his dream of climbing the highest mountains of the world and the most dangerous. After many years of preparation and anticipation, he decided to make this adventure alone.

2-He swore to respect the constitution and the law. However, He issued a decree stripping the judiciary of the right to challenge his decisions. (He abused his power)

As an answer I just tapped on your big belly several times like I played a drum, beat rhythmically and then both of us laughed.

 The story is about a girl who lights a match and develops an unusual love of fire (see pyromania). When a flame accidentally touches her dress, she, along with her house, is burned to the ground. At the end she rises from the ashes to the sunshine.

I was all alone at home
Both of my parents were out
There before me I suddenly saw
a little box, nice to look at

Oh, I said, how pretty and nice
That must be a splendid toy
I strike a match
Like mother often did

Every time that I'm alone
I'm pulled t

If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world:

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, ret

This is a the continuance of my previous blog about the Legend of The Princess of Ledang Mountain.

After a few more days, Tun Mamat noticed the surrounding of the mountain had changed. The weather was getting cooler and they can smell sweet smell of flowers all around. He then realised that they were no longer in the wild mounta

Dear Captain,

I have been waiting for my travel notebook coming back for a long time. It is a beautiful notebook and it is meaningful for me. I thought the friends-to-be would send it back to me on my birthday, yet there was not any news.

A month before I graduted from my former university, I sent out a travel notebook. Yeah, to strangers, and from different places. The notebook would stand for me and travel to the places I want to go. I planned to get to learn the customs of those places through

Hi, guys! 

This time I’ve chosen a list of 100 Most Beautiful Words in the English Language recommended by Mary, our fellow club member. I went through the list and found them very interesting. I learned a lot of new words, as a matter of fact! (Thank you, Mary!) I’ll make sure that they become part of my vocabulary, of course, with the help of MMT.  In my opinion, it would be a plus point if we know the pronunciation of these words. It’s because in order to enable us to use them effectively in o

Dear Captian,

What an amazing day! It snowed! Oh my! I am so excited! I've never seen a real snow before! Thank God! It's so pretty! The whole world where your eyes can reach was all white. It was like a pure white silk, smooth and bright, as well as catchy.

I just saw the snow in the movies and TV series before. I found myself fall in love with Fay's hometown. Hahaha, I had a snowball fight with my new roommates and also made a short snowman with them. I think I am a little dull at such games tha

You know what STRONG TEA is. The tea that is not strong is called LIGHT TEA in India, especially in Kerala. But they do not know that the word LIGHT does not collocate with TEA. You know that WEAK is the opposite of STRONG. The same WEAK actually collocates with TEA. Yes, you can say WEAK TEA, not LIGHT TEA.

From ordinary dictionaries you will not get information about collocations. To learn which word should be used with which word, you must depend on collocations dictionary. The best one of thi

If you have any ideas for celebrating our 100,000th member, please leave a comment! We will need some members to help organize and plan the celebration! When do you think it will happen? Take a guess in the comments below, and share your ideas.

Life is a book in chapters three

The Past , the present and the Yet to Be,

The past has gone, it could not stay,

Its in your dreams of yesterday ,

Remembered , sometimes for its sadness ,

But also for its joy and gladness.

Live for the present , Live for today ,

So quickly does pass away .

Help one another along lifes path,

cheer them up , and make them laugh ,

For the past it soon will be ,

So live it now , its yours you see

But what about the Yet to Be ?

Its locked away,... God holds the key.

Hi everyone!

This started out as a Forum post, and after receiving a great suggestion by one of the readers I thought I might as well write a Blog about it. So here I am :)
