Diwali or Deepavali means army of lights. Although it was originally a Hindu celebration, Diwali is now enjoyed by people of every religion. It is a family celebration. Diwali is a time for fun, joy and rejoicing with family. Where ever we live we try to go back to our home and join with our family to get bles

For many species, its inhumane to keep wild animals as pets.Some people cannot meet the behavioral, social, nutritional and psychological needs of the wild animal. But we got a wild animal family as our pets. Its a red fox family lives in our back garden.

The red fox is the most widely distributed and populous canid in the world. A male fox is called a ‘dog, a female fox is called a ‘vixen’, and baby fox is called a ‘kit’,’pub’ ‘or ‘cu

Sometimes it's not easy to be good for everyone. You try to be good in family, to be good with friends, to be good with coworkers. You don't like arguments. You want the "peace in the world" :)

Jobless, single twenty four years old Dave from Manchester woke up with hangover as he was partying the whole previous night, better closed his eyes and started thinking… „What am I gonna do today? Just to roam with my mates, smoke weed? No, it is pretty boring. Ohhh, I almost forgot, my clown costume was delivered and it is waiting for me at the post office! Yeah, I will have some fun with it.!" Well, unfortunately there are many - sorry to say it - IDIOTS, who lately appeared wearing clown cos

The issues of maintaining and improving your writing skills after summer time present a very important aspect of student life.

It is not always easy to reconcile the demands of academic life, and the writing skills required, with time we dedicate to leisure and other extracurricular activities.

Two days ago, I heard about the news of three or four big famous companies that were raided by hackers. I was floored by the news. I took the news from a narrow-angle. My money in the bank. What will happen if they attack the bank?  The supply of data stealing products and services  is growing. Is the internet not safe anymore? I have heard about  some banks in the US or the UK. They were many fraud attempts or criminal acts on them. They blocked many attempts of hackers attack. I do not have mu

We have learned that there are fake people, still, we believed it is an attitude from inside…how about the superficial matter? I thought only my favorite Gundam deserves customization or my father’s tricycle that he kept on modifying anytime he wants to. Wonders of Science, your face isn’t you anymore.

Welcome to our third pronunciation lesson! In my previous blogs we discussed about the monophthongs - the single vowel sounds. In case you haven’t learned them yet, I posted a couple of blogs, merely about the schwa /ə/ and the /iː / sounds. You can still join our pronunciation challenges there!

This time, we’re going to learn about diphthongs. Dip what? Alright, there’s no need to panic just chillax for a bit and let’s learn this term together as simple as possible, shall we? Actually I did some

PS: Something about the sketch of a black cat and a Snow Globe on the cat’s head. Please don’t feel confused when you see it. They were two avatars Luci used to show us in the past few weeks. And when I was drawing it this morning, I didn’t know she had changed it already. So forgive me that I didn’t catch your latest news.
