After watching the famous movie Titanic, the teacher ordered the students to write a composition about what they had learnt from the movie. Momo, an eleven-year-old girl, who was the monitor of her class, helpful and studious, picked up her pencil once she arrived home after school, started to write her homework. Not until her mom called her to have dinner, did she come out of her room in a low mood.

Her mom felt weird, so after making Momo asleep, she took up Momo’s writing on the desk and read.

Tenses

When we report  things that people said in the past, we do not usually use the same tenses as they said. This is because the times are different.

I saddled the horse and rode off away from the direction of Veers Kingdom. Suddenly I heard a voice…………I was scared and speeded up with the strong belief that I must run away the devil place, a place with no freedom!
But after a while, I found myself tired, whereas the voice was still floated around my ears. Somehow I felt so aggrieved but I opened

“May I come in please?”

“Come in, please!” David looked up and saw his new secretary, “hmmm…”, he muttered and frown.

“I am Magi, your new secretary, Linda told me you liked drinking coffee at this time everyday, here it is. Anything you need, please let me know.” While she turned around and was about to leave, David suddenly let out a question, “Do I know you before?” in a low curious voice. “Excuse me? I beg your pardon!” Magi stopped and turned back. “Nothing, you can leave for your work now, t

So I guess this is the moment to say my goodbye.

It’s time to let go and move on with my life.

Sure I’ve been hurt before and my world was shattered into pieces,

but to continue loving you and to hope that you’ll love me too is absolutely pointless.

I don’t know when I fell for you, I didn’t even think it was possible,

my heart gave in and surrendered, but you didn’t catch me on my fall.

I cried so hard and I cry still,

I wish I’d wake up from this dream, oh how I hope this was not real.

      A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as when one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground

    Eight months have passed and we are preparing to welcome a child once again... The feelings that I have was totally different from the last time. Maybe because I felt an  intense life growing inside me. It will be a happy little boy, a handsome boy, a brave  boy, a boy full of love and compassion. He would look like his father, with the same  gentleness

I just want to share you guys this story.

This parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule praying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together, told them what had happened, and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old

It was March 8, International Women's Day. I took my wife on a short pleasure trip to the beach of Cần Giờ District, Ho Chi Minh city by motorcycle.

I chose this destination because it takes just a day for a round trip by motorcycle. I also thought that beaches there were not as crowded and as expensive as those of, for example, Vung Tau. Of course the where-to-go and the wherewithals are of equal importance, so far as the budget is concerned.
We really made good time due to the slack traffic and
