While most of us think it's helpful to be corrected, some people might not think so. 

You may think it's embarrassing to be corrected in public - you may feel frustrated or disappointed or even offended. 

Making mistakes is part of learning, though. It's hard to imagine you'll be fluent in English without making any mistakes. So, chances are you'll make some mistakes in your writing. That is to say, the mistakes are always there whether somebody corrects you or not. So, why pretend your English wr

Igo left the company without any regret. He thought that he wouldn't get any problems by bearing the jobless status. It was probably because he had many friends and some rich relatives. Having left his luxurious flat, he continued the second week of being jobless staying at his uncle's house without any money in his pocket. He didn't try to find any other jobs.

Two days ago, I wanted to write this blog. Broken Windows, I wrote the title first, and I did not know what to write next. I mean what topic or subject should I talk about?

However, which one of the two hypothesizes or suppositions is correct, I am in a hole and I did not know what to do. The idea or rat

I think there isn't any person persons in the world who doesn't enjoy sweets, chocolates or ice creams. Honestly even a bite of any sweets sweet can cheer me up.

The sweetest question a waiter/waitress can ask is any sweets? ;-)

Sometimes I feel gloomy without any reason so the first thing coming to my mind is to help myself with a glass of hot

" Hey, what do you want?'' Finally someone peeped out the window. ''  Thanks, you finally came up, I need some water. Have you any water?'' "'Oh, yes, man, I have  some. Okay, come in."

Do I have any belief that she doesn’t have any grudge or anger against me?  I haven’t done anything which might have any cause to hurt her feelings. Then why isn’t she paying any heed to me.  Am I nothing for her?  Don’t I have any right to explain myself?  Aren’t there any feelings in her for me. What I would do to draw her attention to revive our relationship?  I will not be erring if I act in any way to prove my devotion, dedication and love. Or is

Dear friends! Having been teaching English for so many years, I see that many students have true problems with adverbs. I hope you will read what I have written and ask me questions if you have some. The following are basic grammar rules. Of course, in some particular sentences they may be violated because of this or that reason.

The greatest problem with adverbs is where to place them in a sentence.

He tried to open the window to smell the fresh air, but he was not able to. Then he thought of reaching the phone to call her. That was also a failure. Then he thought seriously of opening the window, but to his surprise, he could not and his limbs seemed to fail him too.  He began to cough again and again. His body began to shiver. His doctor had, thousand times, to

Love in contrast:

It made no difference between night and day for me since I fell in love with you.

On the contrary I find myself unable even to express before you.  There is a burden on my heart. To those who think in black-and-white terms, my love may be either entirely good or entirely bad for you. Whe
