My dear friends! I managed to get sick and to lose my voice a few days ago. So, if I can't teach either my students or my band, I decided to teach you some American and British sayings, idioms and proverbs. My idea is the following. First, I will post a few expressions with the examples asking you to explain what they mean. I'd like to say there are so many English idioms that you can't know them all! So, the idea of speaking/listening any foreign language well is to be able to understand the ge

I am Happy

I am happy

Life is short

But I am happy

I am happy to work

I am happy in rest

I have no vehicle to travel

But I am happy

To walk by feet

If nobody with me

I am happy alone         

If someone angry on me

I am happy with that aggration

The past has been gone

I am happy with the memories in the past

Future will come

But I am happy to wait the future

My life is full of happiness

Life is short

I am happy

I will be happy

I will stay happy

Because I am happy with my attitude to be happy

Stay happy

Are You on the Horn of Dilemmas?

Do you know what's to be on the horn of dilemmas? If you don't, know it's preferable not to be on the horn of dilemmas. The expression on the horn of dilemmas is an idiom and means:

a)"faced with two equally undesirable alternatives";

b)"unable to decide between two things because either could bring bad results ";

c)"having to decide between two things, people, etc".

Probably, you're on the horn of dilemmas when you have too much homework to do and at the same time you have to do washing up.

Because of My Carelessness [Part 2]

PART 1, the first time I was hospitalized. :D This time, I won’t tell you about the same case but the foolish ones that I can’t forget. :D

When I was at the college, I was a secretary of the student organization. 2347223778?profile=originalOn the active day, I went everywhere with much cash in my wallet. It was in the evening when I was home that I found there’s no wallet anymore in my back pocket of my jeans. I searched through my room, around the house, and also the park of my motorbike. No hope. I lost it. I calmly face

Job Interviews - For English Learners

Job interviews - for English learners.

By Dayne Collins.

I am sure we all LOVE job interviews, right? (Perhaps the next article will be about mastering sarcasm.)

Unfortunately for most of us they are something we can not avoid. If you want the job, you must succeed at the interview. In today's international job market, many big companies require the use of English, and as a result many job interviews for the positions people want around the world are likely to be conducted in English.

Let's Go Exploring!

In one of my previous blog entires; I mentioned Peanuts comics and appreciated Charles M. Schulz's brilliant work. This blog is dedicated to Bill Watterson who is a heap of awesomeness on legs! Actually, my old collections of Calvin and Hobbes were kinda my bedtime stories during childhood. As a kid, I wasn't a big fan of fairy tales. No wonder I turned into a realist now. A disturbingly cynical one!

Whenever I flip through the pages, I keep telling myself, "It's just a quick look. You're just go
