LITERATURE:

Basically literature is defined as a collection of written work of language through different periods and different cultures by authors and scholars. The advent of writing marked a great step in human civilization for many reasons such as transmitting knowledge, ideas, events and even feelings.

It teaches us to listen carefully and look deeply attempting to understand more than the meaning that we see from the surface. Literature plays an important role in the religions too. The Qura'a

When I was at a shopping mall, to my delight and awe, there were sparrows nesting in some of the so called just right nesting habitat. What a way to accommodate to human situations; in cool air-conditioned huge place ; and there were many, feasting  on the fresh coriander leaves and grains of several varieties; despite the people moving around, the commotion, loud music. They seem to be human lovers. No wonder we often find them nesting in some pipe holes, or in corners of lofts in the house.  N

Yes, I mean 'determiners' by 'articles'. A/an is called 'indefinite article', while 'the' is called 'definite article'. 

Articles can be so tricky to use, though. Sometimes you need to put an indefinite article before a noun or noun group, while sometimes you should use a definite article instead, or don't use anything, which is callled 'zero article'.  

You say 'the Great Wall', 'the BBC', 'the University of London' but 'Hyde Park', 'CNN', 'Beijing University'. 'In prison' and 'in a prison' don't

This is what I found in my e-mail box this morning, sent by my cousin Anthony from Canada:

                                    1 x 8 + 1 = 9

                                  12 x 8 + 2 = 98

                                123 x 8 + 3 = 987

                               1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876

 "I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens."

- Woody Allen

Nice try! I'm sure it's the black humor talking, Allen. Death happens sooner or later. And you'll be there, pal. Some famous people lived a quiet life. But their deaths caused quite a stir. So did their dying utterances. You can't help but notice that some of these distinguished artists' last words encapsulate their personas, you know?

During our China visit, of course, we had some fun and tension along with our busy schedule. Here they are.

1. On the flight from Dhaka to Guangzhou we passed through a storm. I always get tension during air journey. So, you may understand how I felt. I just hold the front chair and remembering the name of the Almighty. But, some people had no tension at all. They were about to go to WC and got rebuked from the air hostess. And, on the other hand, I was dying in my deep down...lol

"I wanted to comment here before, but I made the mistake to try to 'solve' grammar problems in a blog here, and I just got a brain attack.... I'm recovering now, so excuse me if my comment is kind of clumsy haha

Fortunatelly, now we know that dyxlesia is not an obstacle to reach your goals. And it's far from being an intellectual limitation!

Back in 2006, Scholz & Friends, an ad agency, (more like Yogi Bear & Friends, Ha ha!) designed an ad campaign for a German recruitment website called Jobsintown.de. They came up with a slogan roughly translated as “Life’s too short for the wrong job.” The pictures are sort of self-explanatory. It is painfully obvious that the people in these photos do not seem happy. Duh! 

Quick question: You're stuck with a job that is sucking the life out of you. There are two options available. Naturally.

Honk the horn if this happens to you too! (Beep, beep!)

blog post dedicated to Behrad, because he likes Sarah Andersen's funny stories as well! :)

Most learners want their writings to be corrected by a Teacher of English, an English Native Speaker, or at least a member who's fluent in English. But you may see this rarely happen here. Have you ever thought why? Hey, who doesn’t want to be taught English freely?? Your writing may be understandable enough. Maybe it's about the language, not always the grammar. I think it would be a hard work to correct all the writings by the non-English Native Speakers. :)

You’re very enthusiastic in learning

Dear friends! This blog is just to inform you that from now on, my wife, Tanya will be posting mostly grammar-based blogs and I will go on teaching you some new vocabulary. I hope you will enjoy both activities.

Have a nice time on the weekend! (MY BIG SMILE!)

My dear friends! I decided to join my “star husband”, Danny  Clark,  and to teach you some English, too. As I have been teaching English grammar and training for TOEFL for many years, you will be getting mostly grammar-based tasks from me. So, let’s start!

To begin with, here are 10 sentences. There is at least one grammar mistake in each of them. So, your task is to find the mistakes, to correct them, to explain them (if you can) and to give your examples.

For example:

The given sentence:

      This morning I watched a  nice  performance. "The  secret garden"it's taken from a book byFrances Hodgson Burnett.

Do you think  Mr Craven   was a good or a bad father? 

I enter in “company bagh” Public Garden at 9 am. It is very beautiful garden in which there are bunch of trees and also due to good weather and spring season the environment is very pleasant. This garden has many blocks like Family Park, public garden, library, IT park and basketball court.

Due to off day I saw a few families in the park, children were playing and cheering in this park. The condition and the cleanliness of Family Park is not good.

Doctor: Good morning Mr. Hall. What’s brought you along today?

Patient: Well, you see doctor, I’ve been having these headaches, you see and…

Doctor: Aha and how long have they been bothering you?

Patient: Er, well, they started about, well, it must have been about three months ago.

Doctor: I see, and which part of your head is affected?

Patient: Well, it’s, it’s right across the front here

Doctor: Mm, and can you describe the pain?

Patient: Erm, it’s a sort of dull, dull and throbbing kind of pain

Sizda Bedar is an Iranian festival, held annually on the thirteenth day of Nowruz, Iranian New year. People leave houses to join nature, and spend the day outdoors. It is an ancient ceremony and a public holiday.

Today, (the thirteenth in outdoors), I woke up and felt my eyes were very itchy, because I’m allergic to spring……I went to a Day-night pharmacy to buy eye drops, there were two girls working in the pharmacy, one of them was working with a laptop, she was crying quietly!
