There are three good things about the Official Gide:


+ 1. It has the most truthful description of what you see on the TOEFL iBT

+ 2. The practice sets at the ends of the chapters

+ 3. The three practice tests on CD (and in the back of the book)
But none of it is perfect, oddly. The description of the test comes with almost no strategy or advice. For example, there is nothing about skippin

What have you been learning from the university of life? Oh, sorry to confuse you with my question. If you haven’t encountered this expression yet, allow me to explain it in simple ways.

The phrase the ‘university of life’ does not exist at all. You cannot find it anywhere because it's not an academic institution or school. If people say this phrase, they are referring to their ‘life experiences’. In other words, it’s about a person who became wise or successful in a chosen field without taking a

Desiring is not wrong,

Dreaming is not Crime,

Wishing for something is not a Sin,

Its human nature that what attract his heart,

He start desiring to have that,

But It is really bad to forget the difference of Right and wrong Path to fulfill Desires..

But for fulfilling his desires,

Forgetting difference of Right and Wrong path

Can make Desiring wrong, Dreaming Crime and wishing sin.

SEMANGAT HIJRAH DI TAHUN BARU HIJRIYAH 1 MUHARAM 1439 H

Tidak ada "orang baik" yang tidak punya masa lalu,
Dan tidak ada "orang jahat" yang tidak punya masa depan.

Setiap orang memiliki kesempatan yang sama untuk berubah menjadi lebih baik.

Bagaimanapun masa lalunya dahulu, sekelam apa lingkungannya dulu, dan seburuk apa perangainya di masa lampau.

Berilah kesempatan seseorang untuk berubah.

Karena, seseorang yang "hampir membunuh Rasul" pun kini berbaring di sebelah makam beliau. : Umar bin Khattab.

The pontianak (Dutch-Indonesian spelling: boentianak, Jawi: ڤونتيانق) is a female vampiric ghost in Malaysian and Indonesian mythology. It is also known as a matianak or kuntilanak, sometimes shortened to kunti. Pontianak is called Churel, or Churayl, in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. The pontianak are said to be the spirits of women who died while pregnant. This is despite the fact that the earliest recordings of pontianaks in Malay lore describe the ghost as originating from a stillborn chil
