Many people think that teaching English as a foreign language in another (likely tropical) climate means that you’re going on some sort of vacation, or that you are taking a break from your professional life in some way. When in reality, this is not the case at all. As more teachers struggle to find gainful employment, an increasingly large number are recognizing the strategic professional advantage that teaching English as a foreign language provides.

ROBERTO and SANDRA
My friend Roberto is a nice guy. we have been friends since we were classmates in the elementary school and even in high school,, but after high school we both took different ways as he moved to the capital.
In our small town the opportunities to study and live were really tough. We lost touch . Last week I flew to that beautiful city, the capital, and you wouldnt believe me but i run into my buddy Roberto, it was such a big surprise and we had a small conversation, then we a

Some days ago, I was reading a book when a friend called me up via Skype.

My friend is a Canadian, He's a forty-five years old man with German roots from his grandparents. I know, he misses Germany because he hadn't been here for many years. He has still relatives in Germany. He told me to come in the next spring when Germany is more beautiful than in other seasons of the year.

My friend is a musician and poet. He writes and composes the own songs. Playing the guitar and singing is his life.

Hi, my dear learners, my true friends! Who else can give me such inspiration?! I should have posted this blog much earlier but you know, all my nightmares are the result of your mistakes. I just couldn’t think up the plot without your help. But I am ready to tell you a great story if you don’t mind reading my explanations. So, here is what I learned from you.

1.“You worn out your skeleton sweet shirt.” My friends, I am sure I can’t wear out any clothes if I put them on once or twice. I wish my sw

One fine morning, something appeared out of nowhere.

Zombies… It sounds disgusting, yet they’re swarming in numbers. They’re everywhere!

Always ready to feast and devour the brain of weak people.

You’re like them, a zombie. The fakest zombie I’ve ever known.

Whatever mask you wear, your rotten flesh speaks for itself.

The foul smell in your veins succumbed me and I almost felt helpless.

As if I’m trapped and couldn’t breathe.

You spread insults and gossips like wildfires and let others believe with yo

Snow was falling silently and steady. The playful snowflakes hit the ground without melting, coloring the landscape in a white rug. Snow, the diamond dust from clouds.

There was a joyful mood among the children on the street, even the adults forgot for a while their concerns and became childish with the children.

People who regularly walked by the house on their way to somewhere, always noticed her, the woman by the window.

Her face was expressionless, but her eyes told a different story. Tho

A Nightmare or A Daydream

You are always on my mind.

Though my body is resting,

but still my mind is working.

I think I saw you a long time

I am begging you,

Please let me kiss you.

Hug me tight, don’t let me go.

I am not staying for a long time

I know you aren’t mine.

You ask me something with astonishments

You think always that I can’t.

I answered you; it’s a plea

Just please care to listen.

And when you speak

You can’t say those words

I know I am bored,

Senbazuru is made from a thousand Origami(colored paper for folding) cranes bundling by string. By making it, there is the popular belief it brings longevity and healing from disease, because the crane is the symbol of longevity. So it is sometimes sent to the hospital patients.

And it is also the symbol of peace. Because it was made by Sasaki Sadako who hoped to lengthen her life. She is a woman who suffered from the radiation effects of atomic bomb on Hiroshima and died from atomic bomb sicknes

Some things just happen. Life doesn't ask us, what we want because life actually doesn't care. What counts is our attitude and decissions we make. They are like a huge arrow, which shows us the direction. No matter if we choose easy or complicated way - eventually we end up somewhere. All the slaps and backstabs are without doubt painful but after all... going through the burning hell makes us much more resistant. Unscounsciously we push ourself one level higher because we all long for being our

It has been 365 days since her birthday in last year

Many things had happened since that day

She was just a little innocent cheerful girl

Until one day, a big problem came to hit her life

She was very shocked, upset, and miserable 

She thought that she had lost her life

She locked herself in a secret chamber within a few months

No one could see her tears and anger

She acted so insane

No one knew what happened to her

The sunbeam came into the chamber

She stared and took a deep breath 

While she said to herse

MEGAEC City had been covered by a huge wave of atrocities this weekend. Many dead discussions were dug from the discussion cemetery. Many people were stressed out because their mistakes had been pointed in a rude way. Panic began in the city. Many reports were written to the police department. That is why Special Agent Roman Squirrel (not clumsy one) had been appointed in order to investigate this case.

The traces of a cat claws were spotted at the crime scenes. Also some parts of the black hair

Teach elementary students lessons about word choice through children's literature.

Look to your classroom library for help with various Language Arts lessons including vocabulary and different word types such as onomatopoeia and alliteration. When teaching with literature, you will encourage students to not only learn your lessons, but to learn to enjoy reading as well. For students who are too young to read the book choices, take the opportunity to read aloud to them.

Teaching Vocabulary Words wi

Idioms or phraseological units are exactly those designs that adorn any language, make it vivid and unique, and most importantly - confusing and incomprehensible to foreigners who are trying to learn it. Idioms are a headache for interpreters who do not miss the opportunity to amuse native speakers with a verbatim translation of each word.

1. Pop one's clogs

You won’t find the phrase "more British" than this one. To pop one's clogs - euphemism for the purpose of determining death or dying.

Fake… Yes, that’s what you are.

You pretend you’re the most interesting person in the world.

You speak as if everybody is interested in your stories.

But in reality, you’re a pain in the neck.

You mock weak people because you think you’re untouchable.

Haven’t you remembered when you mocked me in front of your friends

just because I’m different?

That as if I could barely hear the unpleasant words you’ve said.

I can still vividly remember each of them in case you’ve forgotten.

I read Onee’s comment she posted on her own recent blog addressing to me, she commented: ““C'mon.... You just need to make a news report. How about a news report with the theme of 'LOVE', this is my personal challenge to you. I know you're expert in this matter.”

Since then I was thinking what to do, I tried to recall my imagination, tried to knit a scenario based on love.  There were number of thoughts, number of faces before me coming out of my subconscious to conscious, asking, “write about m

WEATHER FORECAST

Here is the forecast for next 24 hours. 

This is not good news for those who are planning ‘dating’.  The weather will be pretty stormy, so the indoor dating will be too crowded for those who have some secret planning for their partners.  Outside in daytime, the weather will be pretty hot, may affect the temperature of the caring parent for their daughters, so I have to warn all the boys to be careful with their girlfri

Thundering

Thunder is a stream of electrons flowing between or within clouds, or a cloud and the ground. The air around this electron stream is hot around 50,000 ⁰F, which is three times hotter to surface of the sun. When this hot air becoming cooler it produces a resonating tube of partial vacuum surrounding the lightning's path. The nearby air expands and contracts in short time. This makes a column to vibrate like a tubular drum head and produces a tremendous crack and the vibrations gradually

Breaking news!

Two robbers were arrested a while before. At this moment they are in the police station of the town where they are being interrogated. Earlier in the day, a bank was robbed by them. The amount that was grabbed under the gun threat was large. There were three other robbers who managed to get away with a car which some days ago had been reported to the police as stolen. They were prosecuted by the police but so far nothing has been announced and it is believed to have escaped. As has
