I'm sitting in the corniche lawn facing the "M" building in front of a man-made lake, at the back is a busy street where cars come and go. Numerous people are roaming around and I'm not in the mood to do the same. I chose to have a place of my own, unavailable to anyone. My solitude.

As I thought it seems peaceful. No violence, no troubles, and no problem. People are having their good times with their relatives, friends, and acquaintances. 

The wind is blowing to my ears and the moon is staring at

Daisy and Rose are two sisters. When they were teenagers, they went to their aunt’s house every weekend. It was in a beautiful village in a mountainous area. They had good times there; they went to the mountains with their cousins, they enjoy watching the cattle grazing and the fresh smell of mountain flowers.

In the mountain, there was a small cave that the children liked it more than other things. There was a large farm on the mountain slopes where a villa was being built.
The villa belonged t

I had a nightmare last night, which was so real that I could feel everything including the pain , the smell of gunpowder and rough-touch of the criminal’s arm.

I was on a long-distance bus running on the highway with over twenty passengers and an old driver. I thought it was a pleasant journey home until a big weird truck showed up in front of the bus. There were metal cages and wooden boxes under a piece of cloth. However, what were in the cages frightened me like the first time I watched a horr

Yes, 'tip' means 'advice'. From now on, I'll try to give you some tips on English usage - every week or every month or whenever I feel like giving such a tip. 

The tips aren't really blog challenges, though you can write a blog on any tip I give you - sure, I'll try to correct you If you write such a blog. 

I hope you'll agree it's a good idea for me to give you such a tip often. You could also consult a dictionary or a native English teacher if you're not sure about any tip. 

The first tip I'll gi

Have you ever heard the word ‘binomials’? Most of you would probably refer it as a mathematical expression. But since we’re learning English, let’s tackle this topic as part of vocabulary.

BBC Learning English defined binomials as short English phrases made up of two words together. The two words are joined by ‘and’ such as ‘cheap and cheerful’ or with ‘by’ like ‘bit by bit’ and ‘piece by piece’. Here is another defin

Hi, my dear friends! You all write many emotional blogs and comments here and often use these words, but you often use them incorrectly. So, I will give you some simple explanations so that you will not make such mistakes in the future.

SO is used before an adjective or an adverb:

The day is so nice! (an adjective).

He was listening to me so attentively! (an adverb).

SUCH is used before a noun or an adjective(s) + a noun. If a noun is singular and countable, there must be the article "a" before it.

Beauty always holds its bright sense of holiness.

It’s indeed, so cool to get a chance of taking a picture with a bunch of swans and it’s a boon of god when they greet me with lovely sounds. It’s amazing when they are gliding serenely in a group on their way, and it seems beauty holds its bright sense of holiness. But one of the lovely Sawn looking restless seems it’s waiting for its partner and refusing to do its work. Without its partner companion, it’s May no

Have you ever asked yourselves what living means? For me being live is to stay in a giant spinning ball when it’s sailing in ocean stars. Its spin gives us magical effect in our outer appearance, some people would call it ‘getting older’ or ‘growing up’ and so on, but for me it’s a kind of time traveling. In life, it’s not only about ‘where’ but also’when’ which means our lives is framed by place and time. To be alive is to be filled by energy of nature. Its energy positioned us as  the part of

It's important to practice regularly if we want to improve our English skills. Some of us may think it's an easy task, but actually it's a long and gradual process and takes a lot of effort, time and discipline. 

As we practice and make progress, we can observe its benefits. We will feel more comfortable with the English language, and its grammar rules will be less hard than before. 

Therefore, even though "Practice makes perfect" may seem like an old phrase, its message is deep and clear; the mor

It's not so difficult to really learn how to distinguish between it's and its. It's just an issue of paying attention and remember a few pieces of information about "it's" and "its".

Let me tell you first a bit about it's. "It's" is a contraction between the neutral second person singular personal pronoun "it" along with the verb "to be" conjugated in the third person singular (he, she, it - is). You use "it's" when reffering to a sentence subject, that is, you just use "it's" as  a neutral subj

As you know that I'm proud to be Egyptian let's talk about my country Egypt  

last time I talked  about tourism in Egypt  and this time I'll  talk about education in Egypt.

In ancient Egypt the child’s world was not as clearly separated from the adult’s as it tends to be in modern Western society. As the years went by, childish pastimes would give way to imitations of grown-up behavior.

The public education system in Egypt consists of three levels:

It's been almost thirteen months that Clyde's wife'd left him. He was sitting on the couch being miserable and all. He felt that the walls were getting closer and closer and that dingy apartment was going to eat him alive any second. He decided to go out for a walk. After walking for two hours, he realized he's standing in front of Bonnie's house; his friend from high school. ''Should I knock? It's been ages since we've seen each other. Talk 'bout awkward'', thought Clyde. "The hell with it. Wha

First wanted to say it's really a good topic to write about. And, believe me I learned the difference between its and it's not many days ago! So, I know why and how it's important to non- native speakers!So, I must say it's a good idea of our popular blog moderator.

Some of you may notice, now a days I am not that much regular in writing blogs. Though I am missing this place but just can't. So, by this blog I want to get back!

Hello,everyone.When I was a student,it took years to learn English in the national education system only for exams.It cost a lot to keep spelling,gramma and pronunciation right.Now however, without all the pressure from the deadline of the exam or the judgement of my English level,do I still have the motivation to learn it as a real tool to communicate with the world?
