My friends, I have explained almost all I could. I will go on posting the explanatory blogs if somebody reads them. I have added some other constructions, but the idea is for you to lean something new. Again, you should concentrate on the nonfinite forms, but there are also other mistakes.

There we go!

1. After having heard the familiar voice, I came of my room so that I could greet my friend. But having seen a stranger, I excused and went to my room.
2. Here the exercise is that you should do till the n

If you like to party the exam period can be tough. After all, you’ve probably not been attending that many classes and your notes aren’t going to be that thorough. What’s more, the lure of the party scene is still going to be there when the exam period rolls around.

So how will you ever pass? Fortunately, it’s not as hard as you may think. You’ve just got to realize that the human brain works better in some ways than others and take advantage of that. It doesn’t end there either, as there are app

The old farmer had been worked at his small farm together with his son for years. The two had several fields and a strong horse that pulled the plow. One day the horse disappeared. "What a misfortune," whined the neighbors. But the farmer replied, "Luck or misfortune - who knows who knows?" One week later the horse came back and brought five wild horses with him. Again the neighbors came to the courtyard, this time to congratulate. But the farmer said, "Fortune or misfortune who knows who knows?

Dear Spring,

Hello! How is it going? MyEC friends are talking about you, Luci seems irritated when she tackled you’re just around the corner, Batu did mention you too, and Miss Rose became poetic just by thinking of you. What’s the fuss with you? Actually, I’m puzzled but I found their letters intriguing and interesting. Know what, I haven’t met you if not mistaken. Though I’m wondering how you look like, how can you touch my life and what are your hues, is it yellow, green, red, or blue? I’m cur

Monday morning, the event for food nutrition month came to picture. The grade three pupils started to form their line, they were wearing a costume, and there were vegetables and fruits. Light was wearing a cabbage looked costume, and I could remember how difficult for us to find one that will suit his size.

I was standing at the corner of the stage and gazed the areas and my boy as he walked along with his classmates, and then I froze!

Holy crap!

The pretty teacher became even prettier! She was wea

You may write me down in history 
With your bitter, twisted lies, 
You may tread me in the very dirt 
But still, like dust, I'll rise. 

Does my sassiness upset you? 
Why are you beset with gloom? 
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells 
Pumping in my living room. 

Just like moons and like suns, 
With the certainty of tides, 
Just like hopes springing high, 
Still, I'll rise. 

Did you want to see me broken? 
Bowed head and lowered eyes? 
Shoulders falling down like teardrops. 
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Winter has left.
Warm rain has washed the streets.
Nature woke up overnight.
Days become longer and nights shorter.
It's spring now!

Branches of trees
wear the last weathered leaves.
The warm wind blows them away.
It gives space for fresh green leaves.
It's spring now!

Flowers come out
with colors of the beautiful rainbow.
Look, the delicate flowers
how they defy the last night-frosts!
It's spring now!

Green tips of leaves,
blossoms decorate trees and shrubs.
From south returning birds
are signals of new life i

One cold winter night, there was a beggar, who was busy searching for her food in the garbage bin, it was the day after Christmas’ Eve, and she was positive that she will feel the same festivity. She knew that rich people couldn’t eat all they had prepared and will end up throwing some delectable cuisines to her filthy dining bin.

After an hour searching she stopped and sat, there was no food there. This was not her night and the luck wasn’t on her side. She started to fix her old stained folded

Dear Spring,

honestly, it is awesome you are back after such a long time. I even little bit missed you. You know, it is enjoyable to get rid of winter jackets, scarves and boots! It is so exciting to feel warmer air, hear chirping birds and see the trees with the first buds, including spring flowers shining in the grass.

However, dear Spring, you get little bit on my nerves, you know??? In fact... I am not used to so much light after long winter and it gives me damn headache!!At such state of mi

One day two women who were prostitutes came to their wise king. As they stood before him, one of the women said, “My master, this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a baby while she was there with me. Three days later this woman also gave birth to a baby. No one else was in the house with us; it was just the two of us. One night this woman rolled over on her baby, and he died.  So she took my son from my bed during the night while I was asleep, and she carried him to her bed. Th

Two years later the king dreamed he was standing on the bank of the Nile River.  He saw seven fat and beautiful cows come up out of the river, and they stood there, eating the grass. Then seven more cows came up out of the river, but they were thin and ugly. They stood beside the seven beautiful cows on the bank of the Nile.  The seven thin and ugly cows ate the seven beautiful fat cows. Then the king woke up. The king slept again and dreamed a second time. In his dream he saw seven full and goo

Dear bloggers. This is my 5th day of being ill. The worst I had when I got fever and for a night I can't sleep. Yesterday was Nyepi day. But I don't have post vacation blues.

I was visiting my sister's blessing 40 days of her baby boy.

I met all my sister's 2nd family. Her sister and brother in laws, our cousin, our au

Well, my friends and learners, as usual I’d like to explain some sentences from my tests for you to gain some knowledge. Today, I will explain some infinitive constructions as you seem to have a lot of doubts about using them.

Here are my incorrect sentences from my tests.

1.  The question was very unexpected that I could not answer it.

2.  You know English well enough so that you can write such great blogs.

Of course, you know I made some mistakes on purpose. So, I have corrected other mistakes to

" Education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's  being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't."

Education is the main medium on which depends the progress of intellect of an individual as well as a nation. This is the education which gets an individual out of ignorant…(ignorance is “what you don’t know”) and guides him to the right path…………the path of wisdom (wisdom is what “you do know”).

Education is the only source of the progr

As I want to fasten my pace towards you,

My body shivers glancing to your allure,

cold breeze wrapping when our eyes meet,

silently praying here in my place of the seat

I lost my sanity each day I was with you,

No, no, I couldn't be in love with her and she left me no clue,

all along I thought love doesn't exist in my vocabulary,

Heaven! She's so fragile, delicate and lovely

I like her and I want to stop pretending,

I can imagine my future that she's there living,

It's her face I ponder every morning,

I'm

She's  standing in front of the mirror and looks at herself.
"So, here I am", she thinks."Hey... lady, where has the time gone?"

She often makes jokes about herself and her age. Others say she is still attractive and even young people feel attracted by her.... maybe because she has still a young soul, she is understanding, educated, chatty, a good listener and friend. She has a good feeling for people and her advises are in demand at her family, friends and colleagues.
 
She often feels melancho
