Using the English articles.

I'm talking about the/a/an.

If, like me, you come from a language that does not have articles as such (my native language is Russian), then those pesky little articles they've got in English can give you one hell of a, well ..., hell. 

If you don't have articles in your own language it can really be hard to wrap your head around the very concept of articles, like what do they even need them for in English, anyway? Like why say 'a dog' or 'the dog' and not just 'dog'? 

Well to be honest I had less o

We went to Mathura last Sunday via NH24 highway, which connects Delhi and UP. We visit Mathura every year in the month of Kartik to light a lamp.

Mathura is situated in the banks of river Yamuna. Mathura is the birth place of Lord Krishna.

We left the home early in the morning at 6.30am. It takes 4 hours from our home to reach Mathura by car. We reached Mathura at 10am. We parked our car near to one ghat of Yamuna River and went straight away to the Mathura Market. We then went for the darshan of

Writing Prompt: Double Letters

Writing Prompt ~ Double Letters

 

  A Terrible Day for Josh

It was a terrible occurrence for me that day at school. Terry paralised my happiness instantly. Just because I misspelt a few double letters words in English, it doesn't mean I'm an illiterate in English. It was exactly what he meant to say to everyone in school about me. "You won't succeed writing this way! Silly guy!", said him. I think he sometimes exaggerates when trying to fix his schoolmate's mistakes. In the end, everyone is differe

After reading an article about one extra ordinary artist named Paul Smith, I can't help from being humbled and marvel at this amazing man. Thus I just wanted to share what I've seen in the video and I hope you guys also will be amazed at this totally wonderful artist. 

You see, Paul Smith was not just a normal artist. He's a 'typewriter artist'. He created his arts by using typewriter. Yes! Not a computer, but the old fashioned typewriter. What's more amazing was that, he was a cerebral palsy pat

WHAT MAKES YOU TICK?

Some of you may question the title of this latest entry. Incase you're wondering, "What makes you tick?" is an English expression (idiom) that loosely translates to mean, "What's your reason for living? What gives you motivation to wake up in the morning? What's your true passion in life and why?".

If the question were literally translated, I'd be writing about pre digital age mechanical clocks that make a "tick tock" sound. Honestly, and as far as I know, there's no antiquated time pieces that c

A Fast Train Home

It may come as no surprise that Japan has some very fast trains. I like to ride these trains and this Monday I was thankful that they are so fast. I had spent a few days in Tokyo with my family and with work when the big Vongfong Typhoon was coming our way.  Saturday we were admiring the park near my daughter's home. We really hoped the storm would weaken and stop.

We could see the round Sky Tree tower in the distance. Further down the park was a baseball field with the teams getting ready for a

Emotional Manipulation

Have you ever been a victim of the manipulator? Or what's even worse - have you ever manipulated anybody? I guess, we all came across something like this at least once in a life time. To manipulate means to skillfully force others to do the things we want them to do, even though it is against their will. Sometimes we aren't even aware of the fact that somebody applies their manipulating technique on us. On one hand we can say, it can happen mostly to people with low self-confidence, on the other

Yes, I mean all the unfamiliar names of people or places in an article, news report or blog post. Usually there are so many unfamilar names of people or places in what you're reading, which may impede/hamper your reading. This can be a problem. I wonder how you'll deal with it. 

Some names of people or places are so hard to spell or pronounce. Maybe you never tried to pronounce or get familar with them. You may just ignore them and continue your reading because you know they are just certain name

Why Things are Named?

Sometimes a question crosses a common mind that why things are named. There are some reasons for naming things:


Identification
People name things in general and human beings in particular to identify and recognize them and make them known to others. We differentiate among things and human beings on the basis of their names and special qualities. Science of name is called 'Nameology'. Allah created this science before creation of human being. When Allah intended to create human being and wanted t
