It was raining that morning, I might have hugged my pillow all day because of its coldness. Then my phone rang, my little sister’s name appeared on the screen, in fact, it was mum. She might have been annoyed due to my ignorance, for the heaven’s sake that was 5 am! what kind of call at this hour? Two missed calls, mum might have known I wont picked it up so she sent me a message instead of another call.

“Your auntie has died few minutes ago”

I could have schoked, I might have cried, or at least f

When we decide to teach adults, the awareness, as well as comprehension of whom we teach and what we learn, is essential here.

1) Adults do not want to waste the time.

Some adults take language courses because of a job requirement while others have their particular goal to attain (such as a language exam or a professional interview). Adults expect direct, practical benefit. All of them will raise the similar questions
• Why,
• What for,
• How,
• Who (is my teacher?),
• What else could I achieve in

I was getting restless after waiting for Shiv for more than an hour. 

"I don't think he will come, Shoba. Just give up on him," my brother said to me.

"He might have got caught in the traffic," I told him without meeting his eyes.

"Then why didn't he call you and say so?" he inquired like a policeman.

"He may have called me. My phone is not working," I lied to him.

"Come on, face the truth, Shoba! If he is really interested in you why hasn't he come yet?" he wanted to know. 

I really had no answer f

Money spent on universities, unfortunately, is not always invested into quality education. Finland is one of the few countries where education is free, not only for citizens but also for foreigners. Following the same philosophy, the platform Eliademy was created.

Nowadays Internet is one of the most powerful ways of learning. With it, people learn languages, get a lot of useful information and even get education. Online lessons are ideal for home study, and even for those students who are studyi

One day there was a young man sitting and blank gaze leading to a lake. He had travelled to many places to find a happiness, but anything or anyone couldn’t make him happy for long time. In silence, suddenly he heard a nasal voice from behind.

"What are you doing here, young man?" an old man who lived around the lake asked to that boy. A young man turned and said, “I am tired Sir, I have walked to many places searching for a happiness, but I can not find it. I don’t know where else the places tha

I was looking through the movies released in 2015, and I bumped into The Peanuts Movie. Imagine my surprise when I saw one of my favorite comic books has turned into a 3D movie. Charles M. Schulz and Bill Watterson are my most adored cartoonists. I learned a lot from good ol' Charlie Brown and Calvin & Hobbes when I was a kid and those lessons are making sense now!

And the one that takes the cake now that I'm a grown-up:

A phone call

Once I happened to live near my work place and there was no rush of traffic either. I used to go home for lunch. One day when I was having lunch, a phone call came from an Engineering Company. They used to manufacture ball bearings of very limited range. I had applied for better prospect.

When I received the phone call, someone on the other side asked me whether I could come for an interview just then. Finding their location near my work place, I agreed. After having my lunch I left t

Last night I came across with a ghost. She seemed to be very dejected. She was weeping. I felt a deep sorrow for her and asked why she was wandering between heaven and earth. She told me the following story:

I have been wandering since I have given my life to my love. He had the coolest heart, but there had always been a warm smile on his face. He was handsome. In my eyes he was prince charming, but he had always filled with gloom. He might have b

Blog challenge: may/might/could have + a past particle (By Expector)

Where could he be?

"He might have been on line by now. I am waiting for him for an hour. Where could he be? He might have had some bad connection. Damn internet………..! I am missing him so much………..why?

We have met just for few hours if counts in total. There may have been some connection……..some unseen connection between us. He used to come online exact at 2200 hours……..very punctilious……this always surprised me, but now, something

Yes, this structure can be used to talk about the possibility that something happened in the past. 

For example, you can say 'Expector may/might/could have missed my blog.' (You're not certain whether it was actually the case, though.)

'Could have' can also be used to say there was a possibility of something happening in the past, but it didn't happen. For example, 'I could have been killed.' (But in fact you weren't killed.)

It's such a useful structure - let's try to create a blog to practice it.

Hello friends.
I'm new here.
So if you can help me, please send me some tips on making friends.
I would like to improve my writing and verbal communication.
Hugs for everyone and a great week.

Do you know anyone around you, who tries so hard to be chirpy during the family get-togethers, or in a friend's birthday party, but the moment the fun's over they look like a poster child for depression ads?

You think to yourself maybe I should go to them, give them a friendly nudge and say:" Hey pal, everything alright?" But in the end you just smile at them, they smile back and that's that. 

Next time, go and ask, before it's too late.

In loving memory of my best friend...

She has two friends.
Those friends are Marie and Ali.

Those notebooks are English.

• Focus

Focus on what you want to remember. Slowly think about what you need to remember (whether a list of names, home affairs or products that you want to buy). In the future, you will notice that you are much faster and easier to begin to remember what on what you have previously been focusing their attention for just one minute!

• Make a list

Try to remember a list of several items at the same time integrating them in mind. For example, if you want to remember a list of products that you have to bu

Question: If someone offered to give you a free vacation trip anywhere in world, where would you go? Why do you want to go to this place? What would you do when you got there?

I love to answer these kind of questions, because makes you imagine how uplifting is to travel. You know, it's like you've already had been there, that is, in your imagination you do have been to the places you wish before. We can even visualize the trip tour we co

Have you ever wondered what are you going to do with a heap of garbage that is staring at you? Certainly they are going to pay a little visit to the trash can. But there is another way. Reuse them! You heard me, this way, you can do the mother nature a huge solid. I am not going to bore you with statistics here and say how many used bottles are thrown out every minute, or how many plastic bags are scattered in the wilderness after a lovely camping, or...I think you got the picture. That is not m
