Broken Heart

I was born with a broken heart.  I had a hole in my heart.  I survived with the hole for quite  a long time.  But once I had to go to the hospital where the doctor/s diagnosed the problem. This type of hole is called ASD (Atrium Septal Defect).   After the general physician, I was referred to a heart specialist.  He told me that if the hole is small, they could mend it by ASD Plasty.   This is a procedure by which they enter a cable along with camera in to the body and take the cable

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

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

The Charms of Mathematics

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

Here is a display of the charms  of Mathematics

                                    1 x 8 + 1 = 9

                                  12 x 8 + 2 = 98

                                123 x 8 + 3 = 987

                               1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876

                             12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765

                           123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654

                         1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543

As I Lay Dying

 "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?

Some glimpses of our China tour.

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

2. For the first

Sunset

It's always this hard to start write something from inside my mind. I watch movies too much and listen songs I don't like at all, everyday. what could make me cooler than a hero with a strong heart and a bunch of lucky? Nothing. I am special in my own way, less and more. when I tell people about my case, it doesn't mean I am weak, I don't want to make some people worry too, or let some people laugh at my pain, believe me, it's not my style to grieve in social network so all the people will know

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.

CORRECTIONS

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

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!

Waht deos dyxlesia kloo lkie?

I bet it was hard to read the title, wasn't it? Your reading speed was interrupted as you were trying to 'decode' those weird-looking words. Very frustrating, huh? This is how a dyslexic feels every time they want to read something. Welcome to their world! Dyslexia is a general term for disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, however, that do not affect general intelligence.

You know, before knowing someone new, it's always advisable to have a haircut and have a bath because the first impression is what sticks. Try to have a rest before coming to get-together. Nobody wants to look at you with that sleepy face when talking. It's not that interesting indeed! New friendships can make you have a good time if you really want  how to have a healthy relationship. If you want to be a dear person try to have  sympathy for your new company, otherwise you'll always have

The combo is always bad news. Every day there are fewer places left that wildlife could call home. This is due to human activities—like agriculture, oil exploration, or water diversion. Such activities make it extremely difficult for animals t

A Busy Street:

 A Busy Street:

I am once again in that street where I first saw you.  It is one of the busiest places in the whole city.  I remember the smile on your beautiful lips.  Even today the slight trembling of your lower lip tickles my entire self.  I remember you were strolling in the street, which was looking narrow and so small because of heavy rush of traffic and large number of people, who were passing through it.  The street is in the center of the city, and you were the center of my attention.

In Tienanmen square and the Great wall

We have been in Beijing twice. First time We just stayed for one night. But second time we went to roam around. Our hotel was near the airport.On the way we found every transport had to go through checking before entering Beijing.

We arrived at noon and went to Dicos to have launch. Then our hosts told us to get ready to go to see''Great wall''. Hey, we were not in proper clothing. So, we argued with them. And, told we want to go next morning.

They became a bit disappointed but accepted our demand
