Did your classroom ever speak with a classroom in another country?
Some teachers here in Saudi Arabia have tried this with English classes using Skype or similar video broadcasting services. Geography or Social Studies students in the UK, Australia, South Africa or North America may like to Skype with your English class. We all can benefit from learning about other cultures. Wars usually happen between strangers, not between friends. As we meet people across the world, our friendships help to
“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.”

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 just absolutely pointless.
i know i can make it, i know this for i am strong,
so please stop returning, it is not me where you belong.
set me free, i deserve to be happy,
don't you see, we were never meant to be.
First of all, let me remind you that I am not a teacher of English, so this is just a suggestion. The idea came to me while I was watching this movie called Before Sunset.

I believe some of you out there are so eager to speak English fluently (like me), you wish you can speak with someone 24/7. My former English teacher used to say “if you want to master English, marry a native speaker of English.” You wish if at all that will happen!
Thus, just like in t

When we were young, we often didn't care with all the advices given. Since you have passed that time, and (maybe) have realized all the wrong things or good things you had done, what advice would you give, or encouragement...
I hope what all of you will post here can become my lesson too...

Dear Marcus,
Congrats on you! Tomorrow you are going to marry your deep loving girl, I feel the same happy as you do. Tonight you are so busy and excited as I can see. You know, my boy, you are very charming and your smile is so bright.
Hmmm, I still remember couple of years ago, the day you came to ask me if you were good enough after you broke up with your first love, that day, you were so sad and tired. My boy, I know, I am always sure you are a kind and soft boy. But I told you if you loved he
It has been a while since I posted anything on my blog though I have two essays I have drafted and need editting. I promised myself to finish reading at least one book before I start writing again since I have ignored this activity almost two years now.
Continue writing! Continue writing! Conveniently, this thought persistently lingering in my mind. It did not go to rest until I stopped reading for a minute and started writing something.

We tend to wonder what we don’t know and envy what we don’t own.
For me, it is very true. I don’t live near a sea, and in my culture there is very a little part about sea culture. So the first time I read about sea culture, a dream of visiting the real open sea was pregnant in my mind. As time goes by, it grows strongly, as if I could fly all my romantic dreams at the vast sea.
To have a dream, you can feel sweet in heart; and to realize a dream, you will feel happy and excited, even if it is just
When I was in Khartoum, the Capital of the Sudan, I found a small book which has an attractive title; (Learn English in 4 Days without a Teacher), in a very local bookshop, there are some words and phrases translated in Arabic Language in the book. I thought it is easy to learn English in a few days, and I bought that book.
After the mentioned four day, I discovered it is so difficult to learn English in the identified period. Therefore I tried to join an English language a University diploma. T
1. Faith is the ability not to panic.
2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.

4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.

Here goes the letter:

FOR ALWAYS which is sung by STEVE BALSAMO is a fantastic song . What's your opinion about this perfomer with unbelievable abilities in expression?
You adore nature
And I adore you
You wrote poems
And I read you
Genuine, Spontaneous, and True
They were all you
My words are poor
But my admiration is full
Reading you I feel moved
Wish I was born
In your time
And closer to you
You didn’t know me
But I do love you
You know
You were so cool
This is for you, my loved poet——Tao Yuanming~
sincerely
