1. First check out the weather forecast. Its northern part is colder than the southern part. So, if you are going to visit Beijing and near of it during winter or in the beginning of spring, please bring your winter clothing more.

The title of the blog is written based on a quote of Benjamin Franklin who was a writer, a philosopher, a scientist, a politician, a patriot, a Founding Father, an inventor, and publisher.
The title is self-explanatory somehow, and gives you the idea of what the theme of this blog is about. Yes. The topic is about “procrastination”.

Learning homophones with wolves
about homophones by homophobe
Good day folks, first of all, what is homophone.
The word “homophone” is used to describe a word that sounds the same as another word, but that has a different meaning.

The two (or more) words may be spelled differently, but just to make life difficult, they can also be spelled the same.
It is easy to distinguish them when you read or write, but is very di

A hard time with you.

IDEA OF HAPPINESS:
Idea of happiness depends upon what a person has at the very specific moment. A person may think that without wealth there would be no happiness, so he would try to get more and more wealth. But if he be contended and have satisfaction with what he has, there is happiness in it. One cannot get happiness by laboring for it. Happiness comes as naturally and as refreshingly as the morning air. A person even can get happiness by enjoying the work in hand. Our high hopes and s

Who doesn't wanna learn some grammar on weekends?! Noone!, right? :D
So this is me coming right in time, one more time. Let's go!

“I started doing it at the tender age of six. Once having tried it, I couldn’t quit. All my thoughts were about it, I spent my each spare minute doing it. I felt ashamed of myself.

Soon it became my mania: I started doing it at night, under the blanket, so that my parents wouldn’t catch me doing it. But my father noticed it. He said that he had the same addiction and
