The power of love

There lived a handsome young man in a small town. His name was John. He always was in the red ... not to say he was broke... nevertheless he lived on a large scale like a rich man. John was not stupid, only very lazy. He was an excellent chef but he didn't work at all. His parents always payed for his debts, so he never saw any reasons to change his behaviour. He was not a bad person... just, he never had learned to do anything in time or even to catch the ball before the boun

Well, I feel like writing my fairy tale  today as I am lucky to see a lot of snow, to feel severe frost and all winter magic at last! My tale is based on Ukrainian and European folklore as I have already been staying in Europe for about two weeks.

One morning at the end of December, Father Frost (Ukrainian/Russian Santa) woke up after his long sleep as he felt like going to die because of the high temperature.  He took a glass of icy drink to cool down and looked around. “There is still no snow o

Once upon a time there was a little girl in a hill-side small village. In every winter the villagers observed a festival where the little girl wanted to go. But as her grandma was very old and had no extra money to spend so always the granny had to make excuses to refrain her from going there.

That night it was freezing outside. The little girl was tucked on her bed but she was not sleeping rather her cheeks were flooding. But she was not blaming her granny as she knew her granny could not effort

You may remember that I have asked you to prepare some tales while I am on vacation Some of you have already posted a few great tales. Here are the links:

My dear friends! I haven't come up with any learning blogs for rather long, but today I am starting two new writng challenges. This one is dedicated to the rare uncommon words and some idioms we have guessed playing Jeopardy and Wheel. I have started such a discussion in my group, but unfortunately, it has remained unnoticed till now. I hope, you will pay more attention to this blog and take part in my challenge.

So, your task is the following. Read the list of the words and idioms with thier def

Another poem on the motivation of Onee's Challenge on the same word "dulcinea" I tried earlier. The basic idea of the poem borrowed from children rhymes. A learner is always a learner (like me) always seek help from hither and thither)

All the ways go to the world of my dulcinea

“Take a bus or take a train

Take a boat or Take a plane

Take a taxi or take a car

Maybe near or may be far

Take a rocket to the moon

But be sure to come back soon

To the world of my dulcinea

“Go, Go, Go!

Fly in a plane

Or ride on

Yes, this morning I failed to prescribe a patient any medicine. I didn't think the patient needed to take any medication for his back pain - I just suggested rest and hoped he'd feel better tomorrow. He agreed and left the clinic.

The pain was bearable and intermittent - it's likely the pain will ease itself. Besides, any medication has some side effects and abuse of medication is such a concern now. So, I decided not to prescribe him medication. 

On the other hand, maybe I should have prescribed

Hi all how r u this evening?

She told me to stay here and she’ll buy us drinks, my mother told me she’ll make it fast, this is the first time she brought me outside, only me and her, my siblings left in our house, I’m excited, I feel special. The bus station is full packed and crowded, people are rushing to their trips and the ticket booth seems like a box-office movie.

It’s been a while now, where is she? For sure, she finds it difficult to buy something as everyone wants to have themselves first, maybe there are multitude

I started dancing at the age of 25 and it honestly just kind of fell in my lap. I was visiting family in Jacksonville, Florida and we were headed out to what I thought was going to be a normal night out until we pulled up to “The Trap” (night club). That’s the night it all started. I was at a place in life where sin had truly consumed me and to be completely transparent, I thought this life was normal. Getting high was normal. Drinking was normal. Everybody was doing it. I actually didn’t want a

i was a science student, studying maths in hong kong, so long long time ago. then i took on a job in box-making factory in china for quality post (you think there is not much quality to say on paper box? you know nothing!). quite some years back then, i bought a car. in china, car is as important as a private toliet, which gives you that sense of security. in the first few weeks, i drove to a place called toastmasters club in shenzhen. people there did not have as much advantage in english (humb

Once upon a time, there lived a mother with her two daughters. Her husband, the girl's father, passed away soon after the girls birth. He had an accident with his horse in the forest on the way home. He wanted to buy something in the neighboring town, a gift for his wife on the occasion of his children’s birth.

The couple had tried to start a family for a long time, but they had always failed. They had given up, but one day the woman realized that she was not just pregnant but pregnant with twins

I always visit my parents every night with my son while his father still runs our restaurant.What about you guys? What do you always and usually do before you go home?

My dear friends! I told you I came to Europe expecting at least some snow and frost here on New Year. I hoped to see Kiev like this (on the left), but when we arrived we saw such a misty, dull and unattractive landscape (on the right)! We were really disappointed, but then, we reminded ourselves of being the masters of our lives. It is not the weather that makes our mood, it is us who enjoy any weather!

So, we went on enjoying holidays in Kiev.  One day I saw hoarfrost outside and tried to take a

https://themighty.com/2016/12/signs-of-depression-recovery/This morning I lost my Ielts student. He and his mum didn't tell the admin so I came as usual to my part time office, assumed that he still needed my lessons. I waited for an hour then I asked Ms Rizki to call his mum. It turned out that she had paid full for last month. Act confidently, I called my driver and said good bye to my friends there. It's the 2nd time I lost my job because my other boss told me that he didn't hire me anymore b

       The distance between Christmas and the New Year is about six days. In our country, our weekend is on Friday and Saturday. If Christmas is on Thursday, then we will work for three days.  Again, on the first of January, it is also a holiday for us. It is the New Year's Day and it corresponds to our independence day. Shall we talk about twenty sixteen? It was, or rather has been a year of many conflicts and wars all over the world, as many members mentioned lately. It was a year of ups and d
