Did you know there are many syndromes or terms that are based on people and sometimes unfortunate circumstances that befell those people? We may be familiar with terms such as Stockholm Syndrome, and its opposite the Lima Syndrome. Whereas, one of the most famous syndromes that I read is the Pavlov's Dog Syndrome. 

Anyway, in this blog, I want to share some terms and syndromes that derived from certain circumstances or people, and the story behind the name.

Changes in life is inevitable.  It happens all the time.  Either by choice or destiny.  

There are new changes in my life.  First, my age.  Now, 73.  My new profile picture shows some creases on my face and prominently on my neck.  Also, my hair changed to salt & pepper.  

Habits also changed as we age.  My sleep is now fragmented  I hate to admit it - I feel sleepy at 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.   So, I missed the television news and one telenovela.  Other times, I can't sleep at all.

Hi Everyone,

Just as you can see, I'll try to make some corrections for anyone who really wants to be corrected, or whenever I see the "correction tag", which means you don't mind others correcting you in public/openly.

English is such a tricky language, so it's inevitable for you (a learner of English) to make some mistakes in your writing. In fact, we all make mistakes - even a native English teacher. But we learn from our mistakes.

The problem is that we may have failed to spot the mistakes in o

It's really difficult for me to write dialogues but, still I am giving myself a chance.

I have tried to a write dialogue between two friends one of whom lacks confidence.

Tom: Hey, how are you Elly.

Elly: Hi, I'm just fine!

Tom: Just fine? Why? What happened?

Elly: I'm nervous!

Tom: Oh, why you are nervous? Dear you can share your problem with me. Tell me what is bothering you? I will surely try to fix your problem!

Elly: You are my good friend and, I'm sure you probably take me out from the problem.

Hello guys,
today some melancholic and sad mood wanted to destroy my optimistic soul, so I decided to go through the best therapy - to compose a poem. Autumn depression is here, exactly as I have described it in my blog about autumn, now I HATE YOU, AUTUMN!!! :-) Just pray for me so that it would be soon gone and I wouldn't bother you anymore with some silly poems :-D

HIDDEN IN THE MIST

At times I want to find myself in the thick mysterious mist,

in place where no people, no obstacles, nor limits e

Hello Rose, Hope you are doing great!You asked me about various courses right. I know you are pretty confused by listening to your elders. So my advice is, you abide by your heart rather than your parents. Take time and ask yourself what you desire to be in the future and pursue courses which would help you to achieve your goal. It's not my best piece of advice, I'm telling you this from my experience. Education helps us to become a better human being but many see it as a method to boast about.

                                Hi friends, how are you doing?

                       I would like to write something about my friend .she is my close friend since 5^th grade. Her name is Joice. We have finished our school studies together. After the two month we were in vacation. She has told me many times about her ambition are to become a doctor in during our last school days. My dream is to become an engineer.  We thought that was our last year studied together. In between the vacation days,

     I was a kid, it was night and I went to check on my father in the living room, he was reading a book, as usual I was curious to know what was it about, so I asked him to let me take a look, he gave it to me and I started reading but of course I had no clue what "English" is, I only knew it is a "language", anyway I started reading out loud and my father was laughing saying that it's not French to read it that way! at that moment I looked at him and said with confident words "well dad, one d

Hello Friends,

Here is my dialogue between Peter and Paul. Right now, we have an upcoming senatorial election which will be held in December.

Peter & Paul

   In 1838 one English ship transported boxes with tea and bergamot oil (extracted from a particular kind of lemon which had been cultivated in the South-East Asia)from India to Great Britain. The ship got in storm and the boxes broke and the tea mixed with the oil. However the owner of the ship didn`t want to loose his money and the spoiled tea appeared in the English market. The English people pretty liked the tea and then it was called Earl Grey in honour of the Indian earl who owned the tea-

I have just noticed that lately our beloved MAIN ROOM CHAT has been flooded with spammers and trolls.

EC has been very attentive to cope with this issue by suggesting as follows :I have been reading an article about ASSERTIVENESS and here is what it says :

Insights for this :

1. Not responding aka "Ignoring" ==> is it considered as NOT ASSERTIVE (PASSIVE ) ?
2. Should we handle it in an assertive way ? If so, then HOW TO ?

Most of the time, a spammer or a troll came alone (Single fighter) and when he/she d

This is the first time , I thought of writing  a Blog to judge my writing skills. When we find a mistake in our  writing, it's a good idea to learn the correct version by heart. Otherwise it's easy to keep making the same mistakes again and again .

Few members at English Club are well learned, who always help others by writing Blogs or by Chat.They have been great source of learning and exploring knowledge. The main chat room is always seen saying HI and HELLO, No any particular topic is seen bei
