A new method

Several years ago I attended English courses here in Minsk. Our group was quite good at grammar but we were too shy to use our oral English skills in classroom. Then our teacher invented  a special system for us.

A person who said even a word in Russian without teacher’s permission got a Black card. It were just pieces of paper. One side was all black and from the other side she wrote different penalties.  Sometimes it was funny… but not for those who got them I think.

And the other part of those

THE WALLETAs I walked home one freezing day, I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been in there for years. The envelope was worn and the only thing that was legible on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some clue. Then I saw the dateline — 1924. The letter had been

As time goes by

When we were young, days were much longer,

 

worries much shorter and dreams much bigger.

 

 

 

As we grow older, days become not so long,

 

worries grow in number, dreams are forgotten.

 

 

But as time goes by, wiser we become...

 

Let's flow with time and nature...

 

That way days will just be days...

neither short nor long

 

worries will not destroy us

 

and dreams will keep us moving ahead...

-What can you catch but not throw?


-I can run but not walk. What am I?


-I have holes in my top & bottom, my left & right, & in the middle. But I still hold water. What am I?


-Give me food & I will  live. Give me water & I will die. What am I?


-What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?


-No sooner spoken than broken?


-I am light as a feather, yet the strongest man can't hold me for much more than a minute. What am I?

After 5 months of NATO's bombing of military personnel and civilians in Libya, the Libyan government has today struck back as promised by detonating a sizable bomb in Oslo, Norway, between the Oil Ministry and a government building housing the prime minister, presumably regarded as a command and control centre. Norway is a member of NATO and has been actively participating in the NATO campaign against Libya. Like most of the other participants, Norway has major interests in the oil industry.

A stingy

A stingy person.

 

He is a stingy person.  His mind is set only on things that involves some  money.  He owns a house, a land and a lot of  money.......and still invests: another dwelling, and certainly not near to sea, rather a piece of land, but near to village, where you can build something...


And a vacation? Yeah! In spite of being preoccupied with accumulating money, he thinks of going into a vacation......perhaps to Polynesia.....or to Mondragoni!!!

And the best thing his acute mind chooses it

Is " HAMLET " inside everyone?

More studies and interpretations have been written about  " Hamlet " than about any other work of literature..Why..?

I think because some from everyone's nature has been touched in Hamlet.We can all find something of ourselves in this character.The conflict and the mixture of feeling ,it is an exact knowledge of human nature:  misunderstood by others, the hesitation, the lonliness inside ,the imagination ,..love ...hate..

all the feelings concerning people ingeneral .

It's a knowledge of our own ps
