It's been a time I haven't written anything and after reading Diah's blog, something came to my mind.
As she commented, modern life, apps, circumstances... push us to be sort of lazy so we should find anything that motivate us...
...Spinning (or indoor cycling) is a fashionable activity nowadays and sooo funny. It consists on pedalling on a stationary bike to the rhythm of a lively music and following the exercises an instructor is telling us. The pace and pedal resistance vary during th
Are you looking for a great TOEFL book?
I hope so! A nice book can be your best friend when you are studying for the TOEFL.
There are a few good reasons why you should add books to your TOEFL preparation, even if you are already taking a TOEFL course or making your own practice tests.
It's been a long time since my last article. Truly, I feel good to be back. That said, I'd like to bring something special for those who wish to improve their pronunciation and accent. I'm not a big fan of copying accents but, for the sake of this lesson I'm going to put it there for you with this ideology; accent is not that important, as long as you're clearly pronouncing grammatically correct sentences. The targeted audience of this lesson is CEF (Common European Framework) Intermediate to
She: "I wished I could fly."
He: "Humans can't fly."
She: " I know."
He: "And where would you fly to?"
She: "To where the wind blows me."
He: "What would you like to be?"
She: "A little white feather."
He: "A feather? "
She: "Yes, a feather."
He: "Why?"
She: " A feather is carried by the wind, and so I would fly with the wind."
He.: " What do you expect from your journey?"
She: "To be free. It would be difficult to catch me and to hold me tight. The journey would be an adventure."
He: "Do you want to
The three big industrial countries, Japan, China, and Korea are doing their best to provide the world with their best products. I noticed the race between China and Korea. When the Japanese invented the Corolla, car it was good for those countries that do not produce oil. The Japanese prefer it the most. Of course, they had invented other luxurious cars like Cressida, Camry, Lexus, but they prefer Corolla the most, and naturally, you know the reason.
The consumption of oil. During the oil crisis
Today, we live in a modern era where we can find new technologies are always being updated each day. For an instance, a brand of smartphone that always presents the latest innovations of its features. It helps people with super complex necessity to fulfill the demands of their works. But I do realize that when something hit massively, it will take some effects to an existence.
Let me talk about the situation in my country! I try to describe what is happening here lately :)

You’ll be spending much time understanding each other and deciding on different things. Keep reading and find out what issues you’ll have to decide upon before marrying a foreigner.

Traditionally the wife gets to move in with her husband and move to another country. This can be tough, especially when you have to change continents. For

A couple were going on vacation, but the wife was away on a business trip. So the husband decided to go to their destination first and then his wife would meet him the next day.
Once he had reached the hotel he decided to send his wife a quick email. Unfortunately, when typing her address, he mistyped a letter and his note instead was directed to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away the day before.
When the grieving widow checked her email, she took a look at the monitor, le
Have you ever wondered, how different and interesting can be life of anyone from MyEC? The people, that you are chatting with them every day. We simply can't know it, but we can imagine it. And if not the all aspects of their life, then just as tiny thing as their keyboards. A tool, that they use it every day to express their feelings and thoughts. When they are sad or happy. Someone eats while typing the messages on the keyboard. Someone lies on the bed. But all of them have their own habits an
I wanna thank Lady Noor for showing me with her blog: 'Islam is a Way of Life' that is not against the EC rules to spread fanatic religious views. Thanks to that, now I know that I've the same freedom here to spread my non-religious view as well. Since Lady Noor's blog wasn't banned, I know now mine can't be banned either.
I just wanna make clear that I don't have anything against Islam, but against all the religious dogmas (okay, especially the ones of the three main monotheistic religions) but
Sometimes we come across weird, chaotic thoughts that start occupying our brain. Sometimes we are stressed because of little issues that eventually don't matter so much but we consider them at that one particular moment the most important in the world. We ask ourself the questions such as: "Am I good enough? Do I look fine? Will others like this or that I have worked on?" We tend to doubt, which is natural but I would say we waste time on thinking about how others percieve us...
In fact, we care
Hi, everyone! I often miss teaching and teasing you a little! Here is my new grammar test for you (or me!) not to be bored! On this test, you should correct not only grammar mistakes, but also some phrasal verbs. I have borrowed some of the expressions from my wife's students and my personal correspondence.
I believe, you know what to do! You should correct all the mistakes and make all the sentences meaningful. So, let's go ahead!
Here is your task.
It's almost impossible to change stubbornness, slander, extremisms, and addiction to revenge.
Allegations without proof are ridiculous but always welcome by like-minded people. Never mind, that's life.
That's why sometimes, Ignoring is better than confrontation, and forgetness is better than endless complaining and discussions. The wiser smiles and doesn't provoke. It's a question of self-awareness, independence, honor, and dignity.
This is my first poem I post in here, since I realize I'm not into a poem xD
Should a poem consist of diction words that make people wonder?
Well, I'm not sure about this poem but in the case of learning, why not to try? :P
LIAR
Beautiful words always came out from your mouth

A wide curve showing rows of teeth lined neatly
Once, twice, thrice
Your fancy words had made her a queen
Four times,
The magical words faded away
A little curve on her lips still could be seen

The last tree has lost its last leaf,
and the last dried up rose lowers its head.
The fountains don't have water,
and the and ponds and rivers are empty.
Only fallow fields as far as the eyes can see,
there is no grain, no fruit.
Only abandoned farms and orphaned towns and villages.
Where did the animals and humans go?
There is no child laughter,
and the songs of birds have fallen silent.
The trees stretch their bare branches to the sky,
it looks as if they are begging for water,
but the storm

Wow two blogs in one day!!!! It is a record for me surely!! I found these while searching for reading material for someone. They are well worth posting I feel. Life is a teacher. What have you learned???
I’ve learned-
that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I’ve learned-
that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back.
I've learned
that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

Hi all!! I have to say this is my favorite cake recipe of all time. Unfortunately I lost the original recipe which broke my heart, but this one is close to that original but as of yet I haven't given it a try. So this one is a pot luck at best. So here goes!!!
The first Hummingbird Cake recipe was published in Southern Living magazine in 1978 after being submitted by a reader from Greensboro, North Carolina. It became the most requested recipe in the magazine’s history

When I look back at how we began;
the laughter and love that we shared,
I smile at all the ways we loved
and we dared to dream of a wonderful future together,
and how we promised this was forever.
And I try to recall the moment when things started to change;
Just what it could’ve been to cause our happiness to slip away.
And though I may never find the answer I do know one thing for sure;
I still love you now as much as I did then,
and I don’t know how but we can get through this.
I’m not ready to give up
