Chinese Valentine’s day

Chinese Valentine’s Day today.
Couples and couples and couples all over the world.

Alone. Never lonely, however.
It’s just one of the 365 days in the year, nothing special.
When you think you should do something romantic with the one in this day, while, congratulations, you are still someone believes fairy tale. Nothing bad, and even much better than those who are so worldly-wise. With a heart which keeps glad to believe, to trust, to love, and to be enthusiastic

August...

Hi! How are you? The end of summer is nearer and nearer. I am very tired last week. I started write my course work in macroeconomics and that’s why I spend last week at the library. I don’t know, what I thought than chosen topic, but I choose the most boring topic on which little of any information. And now I don’t know what write. “The economic security of Ukraine” oh…. I'll be finishing the course work until September. And how are you spend last month of summer???

"Being is more important than doing"  ((Ekhart Tolle))

 

 This time I didn't have enough time to practice the song, "Our last summer" suggested by ABRIL, my dear friend.But, I like to take part in the contest since I had so much fun singing Lilly and helped me so much to learn about intonation in English. So, I really apologize for not "BEING GOOD ENOUGH" and hope you can bear my singing! 

 

Here is my recording:

Have Fun!

Poverty - How It Affects All of Us

 2346263197?profile=original

  I'm certain that there are a lot of poor children who want to learn but they couldn't attend school because:

1. They prefer to work in order to sustain or provide a living for their family.

2. Because of poverty, many women and children are become victims of sexual exploitation and prostitution. 

3. Those young children could be the next generation of scientists, educators, or lawyers but have limited access of support because they are living in far away islands and have no means to reach them.

LEARN ENGLISH - 4

LEARN ENGLISH – 4

Khaliqur Rahman

The Learners in general are not familiar with the Sounds of English as in most schools in India, they start with the Alphabet. We, therefore, introduce the sounds with the help of audios and now with the British Council phonemic chart and ask the Learners to keep learning them with patience and practice.

It is easier for them to discover that an goes with a vowel sound and a with a consonant sound. There are no exceptions to this rule anymore! Moreover, they discov

Hi,

 

 I just remembered one of my topic with my private tutor. I want to share it with you and hope you could be able to share your idea about the topic.

 

Topic: " If you were given a chance to go back to your past, What age would you like to revisit again? Why?

 

Most of them answered, they wanted to revisit the time that they were in their high school life, they said, it is the most funny and exciting year in everyone's life. However, I agree with them, but as for me, I would like to revisit again

The Royal Worthy Flower

In the uncertain way of my life,
Having a chance to meet her hazily,
With honesty and pure heart,
She who I was familiar with….

A pair of iris being the most beautiful and the brightest,
The eye brow drooping as the bow,
She who is with a honest and openly heart….

As if a flower with pleasant smell,
And with the full of beauty,
Being proud among the flowers,
She who can make everyone to gaze at….

With fragrance and gentleness,
 As if the Royal Orchid, the Royal Worthy Flower,
Her beauty is more than others….

Voicethread

Many of you use SKYPE and Audio Speaking Group and Karaoke Group to talk with each other, and practice speaking English. Has anyone tried the Voicethread website? http://voicethread.com

 

There is somewhat of a learning curve but would work VERY WELL with English learners. One person uploads a set of slides on a theme, and they can describe those slides and/or a task for the others, using text, audio, or video. Then as others sign on, they can all comment on each slide with text, audio, or video.
