Nobody is perfect and everybody makes mistakes. Well, I hope we all can agree on this. Anyway, what do you think: "How to face criticism without being hurt? Is it possible?" We can say without doubt that criticism activates our emotions. It is pretty individual because some people feel sad or useless, others pretend they don't care etc. I think that the way we percieve it also goes hand in hand with our self-esteem. People with low self-confidence might get totally destroyed by one negative sent

English language has very wide vocabulary; there is almost an equivalent for each word, so it is hard to make a new word in English.
I made the words “co-brother-in-law” and “co-sister-in-law” for men married sisters and women married brothers respectively, but when I searched online dictionaries, I found that these words have already been invented in English, of course they are uncommon in English and just used in South India.
As all of you know that I always learn English with a humorous sense. So please read my blog and laugh and forget it. Please don’t be serious. Ok?
I heard that LOVE likes a medicine. It can treat all your hurt. And depending of your drink then It has the bitter (or the sweet). How many times do you drink it wrong? Me…I could not remember…maybe 2 or 3 times. I just say by only word: bitter. Yes, really it was bitter. Even I could not breathe but it made me strong and get more experience
December is usually the season of durian in Palangkaraya. I am very happy because durian is my favorite fruit. The very famous and tasty durian is the durian kasongan or also often called durian “Katingan”. Being a satisfaction if you got a thick fruit and the seeds were very small. I remembered when my mother told me a story that my mother had ever been under a durian tree, and one of the fruits fell on her head making it bleeding. Just listening to her story was terrible especially when imagi

I used to enjoy buying books and subscribing to magazines - you bet most of them are about English learning. Not until recently, however, did I realize that I shouldn't keep buying such books or magazines any more.
I need to find time to reread some of the articles because I know I may have rushed things when there were so many articles to read.
Yes, it can be so boring to reread the articles which are not new or fresh. I tried to pick up an old magazine (published a couple of years ago) the other
In my mind the English language is something that is very difficult. I do not understand why it has been very difficult for me to understand and use this language because there are a lot of words I do not understand. Sometimes I envy friend so fluent in English. But I'm not giving up I'm sure I can. The results will not betray the efforts. I think I just need little more time to be able to speak English. In this club I have learnt a lot and improved my knowledge of English. I hope I can speak En
Dear France,
Millions of people were in state of shock and sorrow when they heard the news about the terror attacks in your breath-taking city of lights - Paris.
You are one of the nations that never cease to give assistance whenever someone is in need. It's evident how you've supported my country especially during the onslaught of calamities. Who would have thought those ruthless killings could happen to your remarkable city? A city with rich culture, art, and fashion. Is this the price you've pa

The Basement
Carefully, with measured steps lest she made creaking noise, she descended the staircase down to the basement. Her Grandpa had forbid her from going to the basement with the reason it is his workshop, but she wanted to check the reason why that sometimes she could heard people's cries.

For the first time ever, the 'Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year' is not a word... but an emoji! How weird is that?? And the award goes for one particular emoji: the 'Face with Tears of Joy'! As you can see, it's very happy for this:
The Oxford Dictionaries' blog says that this emoji was chosen as "the 'word' that best reflected the ethos, mood, and preoccupations of 2015" (more info here)
I feel that the Oxford Dictionaries guys are being kind of sarcastic here. Looking around us, I can'
Good evening, everyone.
This is my blog #50. A small anniversary for me and my fingers. So I want to dedicate it to one question - "Why do you need courage"?
Before we find the best answer on this question let's ask additional questions:
- Do you need courage to fight for your freedom?
- Do you need courage to survive in a modern society?
- Do you need courage to have arguments about your salary with your boss?
- Do you need courage to wear a mini - skirt?
- Do you need courage to upload your photo
Have you also noticed a new trend of this hectic era? Why to spend time outside in the nature? People lost their minds and prefer hanging around at the malls on the weekends. You can see the teenagers, families with the kids, or single ladies. I doubt, if there exists a word for this special human kind (maybe shopaholic but I find it a bit different). My word might be rude because it is a mixture of the words Mall and Idiot, however I really despise this habbit, so that's why I spiced it up by m
suddencognition ∣noun∣/sʌdnkɔg’niʃən/
You use this word to describe a case: when you suddenly realize something after you have tried to get it for a long time. For example, you've learned English since you were little, but not until recently did you begin to know how to use English 'tenses' correctly. Another example: when you suddenly realized what life you really need to live.
Example sentence: It's wonderful to have the feeling of suddencognition.
Have you ever tried to think of a word for something, and then realized no perfect word existed? This happened to me today! I realized that I am not currently reading a book that I am really into. When I am reading a book that I am really excited about, I have a special feeling or glow, even when I'm not reading it. One man described it as being in book love. Does that make sense to you? I'm not in book love right now, so something feels missing.
This thought made me think of those great lists of
Are you sure you can express yourself clearly, so that everybody would understand your points? Don't you think time to time you tend to underestimate the power of own words, that may be a bit confusing to other readers? I guess, these might be for some of you pretty annoying questions but lately I realized it is very important to make sense and to express the things properly. So.. here I go with my blog dedicated to this topic.
To write a sentence, no matter if it is blogging, a love letter or
