Many students are confused on how to properly use contractions in speech. This is one of the most common errors that I see in my students, so I will explain how this should be done and give some examples of pronunciation.
But first, let us remember that a contraction is a short form of a phrase in English and is most commonly used in informal speech and writing. The phrase is shortened (contracted) by removing one or more letters, inserting an apostrophe in their place and making the phrase in

Is there any shortcut to increase our vocabulary? What do you do when you come across an unknown word? Look up for a dictionary? Okay, fine.

People usually ask: Which do you prefer? The sea or the mountains? As for me – definitely the mountains. I am not a fan of „frying“ my body on the beach because to me it is boring.

I tend to the nature, I just love to escape from the rush of the city.
The mountains can give you a lot but sometimes they might be even unpredictable. T

I saw myself in my kid.
Category: true story
This is my story. To look at my kid and to see myself, this is something I can hardly describe by the words. To watch their smile which is yours is maybe the best gift u could have ever got. To look into their eyes and to see their love they give u is worth living. To watch them growing up and to realize they have similar character , these all are aspects of life that give us - parents energy and inspire us to live colorful and meaningful life.

Hello, this is my first time I participate in Writing Challenges.
Wish luck to all participants. Here we go.
Story is true, sad, and cruel at the same time.
"Born 0. Died 20. Buried 80"

Many people spend their life meaningless, poor in grey colours.
