CIgEyaf.jpgEven if English is the second most-spoken language in the world, there are more people learning English (secondary speakers) than people who claim English as their first language. Here's where people tend to score well and poorly on tests of English from Education First.

- The Middle East generally lacks proficient English speakers.

It is here!

Spring has come!! Right now, when our eyes are so tired of seeing black and white everywhere, and our ears are craving to hear not the dismal howling of the wind but friendly sound of rustling leaves and cheerful twittering of birds(not of haughty Internet addicts who think each their idea is so precious that the world needs to know it).

    In my country people love spring. In this season especially nature  is so inspiring. It give fresh hopes and energy to see everything around awakening after

Do

” Between Austria and Italy, there is a section of the Alps called the Semmering. It is an impossibly steep, very high part of the mountains. They built a train track over these Alps to connect Vienna and Venice. They built these tracks even before there was a train in existence that could make the trip. They built it because they knew some day, the train would come.” (Under The Tuscan Sun)2347022559?profile=original

Why do we always see the things from the same perspective as it has been shown to us since childhood?

Why not we try seeing things differently?

 

While searching a good ebook for myelf at freebooks.net. I saw a book cover with the title “Men Brothel” I found it quite interesting! I laughed imagining how it would be if Men replacing the women and women vice versa………………………………

 

I would actually trust this might be possible abroad……Imaging this in our country is really implausible.

Remembering MH370 - A Year On

I remembered a year ago, I woke up to the same sunny morning as today. The birds were chirping happily. But unlike that day a year ago, today I woke up knowing the unknown, unsolved issue of the disappearance of MH370. A year ago, even though the day was sunny, but my heart was filled with much sorrow. I cried a river. The whole day I was glued to the tv. I browsed through the net, and read anything and everything. Nothing was the same anymore. A year on, we are yet to find the closure.

It is said that a man went to be a guest at his miser friend.

When the guest arrived, the miser called his son and said to him: "Oh my son, I have a dear guest on my heart, so go and buy a half kilogram of meat, from the best meat".
The boy went and returned after a period and did not buy anything.
His father asked him: Where is the meat?
The boy said: I went to the butcher and said to him: Give me the best of what you have of meat.
The butcher said: I will give you meat like butter.

Brain: Interesting facts, idioms

Every computer has its processor, so when it comes to human body, I personally consider our brain incredible and hardworking processor. It controls so many functions such as move, sight, hearing, language, furthermore brain also contains centers, which are responsible for the memory, emotions, intelligence, motivation etc. There used to be a myth in the past, that we use only 10% of our brain but it is totally wrong because nowadays is known that we use almost all the capacity it provides.

  1. It's good because of learning some new words

80 years ago a man picked up his morning newspaper and to his horror and surprise read his own obituary.  The newspaper must made a  grievous mistake because this man was still alive!  But like most of us this man was curious to find out what people thought of him and what people would say about him after he dies.  The article said “Dynamite King dies.”  He was quite taken aback by the description that was made of him.  He was described as the “merchant of death” because this man was the invento
