Being an English teacher actually is not my big dream. It just happened that I studied my undergraduate program majoring in English Education and graduated some months ago. Actually I have ever had a teaching practice during my internship program. I also had my undergraduate thesis research related with teaching stuffs, so I think I can overcome my nervous :D 

Yet, in fact, I started to work as an English teacher some weeks ago, teaching 7th graders and I still couldn't handle them -_-

Punctuation is used to create sense, clarity and stress in a sentence.  They are small signs that help to organize and provide structure to a sentence.  Sometimes we can think to ourselves, are these signs really necessary?  I mean can they actually make a difference?  I came across different punctuation mistakes on the internet, some were funny and strange but some were just downright wrong!  To say that punctuation can not only alter the content of the sentence but can create a distortion is a

 The letter "a" is  the first letter of the English alphabet. But it seems that the small word has other meanings. Let us see some of those meanings together:

1-   It Is used  when referring to someone or something that is mentioned for the first time.                         ( I met a tall man).

2-   It can be used to show or indicate a rank, type or a membership of a person or something,                    ( he is a basketball player )

3-   The letter "a" can be used to show a musical note. (Imag

We started our journey one day before of Eid-Ul-Fitor. It was the last day of one month long fasting here. But we knew it would be the Eid day in Dubai. We reached around 12 o'clock (mid-day) in Dubai airport.

Suddenly I heard some one was calling our names, why? Did we do any mistake! Instantly my husband rebuked me with a smile. It was about our hotel booking and a car was waiting for us.

We felt cold in the plane and almost started shivering inside Dubai airport. But, to my surprise, a hot wave

Wanted to look back

Wanted to see again

There was smile, forced and fake.

Wanted to ask

There was tears, unseen!

Darkness engulfed everything.

In the course of human history there has been some people who think they are always right and can decide what is good or bad for the rest of our society. Sometimes these "enlightened people" go far away and decide what kind of books people have to read and what books should be banned.

Well, I think we have the right to read what we want, as adults we can choose what is good for us. I don´t believe someone else must decide for you, even if he has good intentions.

I´ve read few books in my life, two

The newly-wed couple Bob and his wife Bonnie were on their way home, the villa that was near the village Bob's parents used to live. The couple did have a good time at the bar. 

It was Bonnie's birthday that day. Bob could have treated his wife to a banquet or a chic clothing boutique or an antique store or a barbecue, but only caught himself buying a bouquet of rose and settling down to have a drink with his wife at the bar.  Bob had had his hair cut at the barber's because he could have been ba

 A man was driving too fast and his wife sitting next to him, the policeman saw them and stopped them. The policeman: "You were driving the car at speeds of 180 kilometers per hour, while the speed limit is 60 km per hour, so you will pay a fine."
The man: "But I'm more than a little speed".
The wife: "you are driving too fast at speeds of 180 kilometers per hour".
The man looked to his wife angrily.
The policeman: You will pay a fine because the rear light is broken.
The man: Is the rear light brok

Page 300- Alice's Biography

As Alice stepped out into the morning sun she felt a slight chill of uncertainty suddenly gripped her senses but she gave herself a gentle nudge to remind her of the reason she was here.   The huge molave trees towered above her and the dense forest unveiled markings of a terrain astonishingly alien to modern civilization.  If it were not for the rows of wooden dainty houses behind her, it would seem that she was in some deserted Amazonian jungle. 

It seemed like yeste

Prefer English to Medicine

Expector had worked as a doctor in the hospital since he graduated from the medical shool 30 years ago. He enjoyed and was so proud of being a doctor. People did have respect for doctors, especially when he opted to learn medicine instead of any other subject. Besides, doctors could earn more money. 

He knew that it could be so demanding and stressful to be a doctor, though. People could freak out so much if they were ill - it was possible for them to call names,

It was a very pleasant day, when MI’s younger brother asked to go out for a walk on the beach.  MI was curious, because this was the last thing his younger brother would ask him, because he always liked to be in the company of friends rather than to go out with MI. 

‘Yes, what is it?” MI asked his brother.  They were walking on the beach, the sun seemed tired and wanting to lie down on the horizon. 

“We have, I mean we all, Mom, sister and other brothers decided t

This month, we are going to work on writing a page from our biography.  A biography is a book or article about a person's life. What is the most interesting part in a biography? Some people think the childhood is the most interesting part. Others like reading about the struggles of early marriage, career, or parenthood. We all hope that retirement or old age will be the best part of our lives. 

Even though we are writing about ours

“Hey you! Don’t make my meter down (make me angry) by cheating. I am noticing you have measured the cloth less than a metre! “I am sorry Sir”.
“Then, why did you do it in the first place. I must advise you to change this habit of yours. Mind my advice, otherwise I will message to the local authority and they will massage your neck (squeeze you). Now do not leave the piece of cloth loose. Pack it properly. If you keep continuing your cheating you will lose your business. Don’t you like to eat de

Today, I want to greet all the great people in the world. See! The sun that has no son rises from the east in the morning. The wind can’t win in the war of your mourning. I see you’re in daze these days. Indeed, you’d been being so weak for the whole last week.

I can hear your weeping from here. I can feel your beautiful eyes dropping tears so often. Like a dense smoke dancing in front of you, you haven’t seen the scene of happiness. Now, let’s have a seat for a while to take a seed of new enthus
