Hello everyone,

It's raining heavily recently here in Indonesia. What about you?

Today, I like to discuss about online shopping. It becomes more common nowadays. How come...? Even people sell plants by online. How do they pack the order, how do they send it, everything can be done perfectly now.

I doubted to follow this culture at first. Some people think that it would be better that we buy things to the shops near to us. That means we help them, helping their bussiness.

However, COVID 19 made us st

   Today I heard a new joke for me and decided to share it. It sounded like this: "Sometimes people know many languages, but they cannot say a single good word to other people." It wasn't about me :).
   So what do you do with your knowledge of languages? I think that everyone who has gathered here knows or at least understands at least two. Does it help the world? Is it enough or not?
I hope to write historical articles in the future to clarify some international nuances. Perhaps, I will soon sh

Oh time, halt for a few moments.

Have a little mercy,

Grant me moments of bliss

Oh time, halt for a few moments.

Oh time have a little mercy

After that, take the rest of my lifetime

Take my youth and my eyes.

Oh time, be gentle with me,

Be gentle with my lover,

My perfect soul mate

With his joy, his peace of mind,

With my reverie,

with what occupies my mind

with his sentiment and feelings

with every thought, that occurs in his imagination

Oh time, halt for a few moments.

Have a little mercy,

Drug use in American schools has grown to very high levels due to increase in population that access the drugs, or due to higher number of reported cases. The use of drugs grew in the middle 70s and 80s. The reasons behind increased drug abuse in American schools are more than mere peer pressure and availability of the drugs. The society seems to have accepted the fate of their children. In today’s world, drug and alcohol adverts are all around. Alcohol adverts form a major part in the advertise

When I was a student of Senior High school, I once became an offender at the moment the school was holding a flag ceremony. The teacher called me and I was interrogated in a counselling room. My fault?? The provocateur of making a noise and on my cap was written the word 'Zombie'. I got suspended from school. They wanted my parents to come to school. I didn't know what to do. I rode my motorbike to my uncle's house. I cried and asked him a help. He helped me, but whatsoever, in the end he told m

“Sha, wake up, it’s 9 O’clock” Mother shouted again. I fumbled under the pillow to reach the phone. It’s 8:35. I knew it! She just try to make me hurry. I crawled up to bathroom with my dizzy eyes. After a few minutes later I dragged myself to the dining table.

Breakfast is near to end. Everybody is now in finishing touch with the exception of mother. She has yet to start hers.

We are a family of five.

“Where is the pot of sugar?” Shibly, my younger, brother said. He has a small business near to do

The following text is about how to learn English fast enough and avoid quitting studies in a week or two.

International students, who want to study from zero or to improve their language skills frequently ask: is English the hardest language to learn? The answer we can give you may seem banal, but it is true: the hardest language to learn is the one you don’t know how to learn.

Let's make it clear: there is no secret method to know any language within a month. It does not exist. If someone promise

Once, a husband was putting on his clothes getting ready to go to the office when his wife said, "On your way back from work/office, bring four chickens." The husband wanted to know the reason he had do get the chickens on his way home.

His wife said, "Don't you remember? Tomorrow is our 25th wedding anniversary."

The husband then replied, "Why on earth some poor, decent chickens have to sacrfice their lives for the mistake we made back then, 25 years ago???”

If you are applying for studies in Australia you will be required to give Personal Test of English (PTE) for proving your English abilities and your understanding of the language in all the forms that are reading, writing, listening and speaking. Before IELTS used to be the only option of candidates to prove their efficiency in English language but last few years PTE is also taken into consideration. 

PTE considered being easy from IELTS is because all the four modules tests are being taken on a

I was falling from the top ,
The air was slamming my body strongly ,
And it was cutting me ,
And suffocating my breath ,
Falling from the top ,
My poor body collide to every rock ,
Every stone ,
Every thistle ,
And every tree with throne
And death wasn't there
Unfortunately ,
I was living ,
But I couldn't move a finger of mine ,
The strong air took my hearing ,
My eyes were fill of dirt
My head swinging back and forth
Down in the valley ,
And the mountain was so far up
And I was so far down ,
And li

Have you ever observed that shopping centers and boutiques begin decorate their space in New year style very early? In this year I have seen first decorations in October! It was Christmas trees, garlands and tinsel. I like New year and like feel of miracle, but in last year I have detected one thing: when shops and boutiques had been decorated, I have a great New year mood. I was winged and looked forward 31st of December. I felt that I had became a kid again. But than closer the New year got, t

Ethical principles are the basics of ethical analysis since they are the point of view from which leadership can be obtained along with the pathway to a substantial decision. I think that the three most ordinary principles that have the likelihood of success include: the Principle of Beneficence, the Least Harm, and the Respect for Autonomy. The Principle of Beneficence directs one to do what is good. The precedence to do well creates an ethical viewpoint probable solution to a dilemma. Accordin

Loneliness

by Abul Hasan

The girl didn’t expect much!
So much grace, so much independence!
Expected less,

Unveiling the whole body leaning against the mirror
Sitting alone all noon, wanting
Mother to scold or papa to see her grief

The girl didn’t want much!
So much noise, crowd, gathering!
She wanted less than these.
A water stream
gives thirst to her just now, she wants
a man to call her darling!

Hello my dear Ant,

How are you? I am fine and still in the same place. I am trying to find out you, but you are missing (Sorry, I don’t know where you are). I am still here (I am sitting on the bench which we were used to sit and talk when we were together).

Can you hear my sorrowful voice? Can you see my weepy eyes? I am following your foots prints, but How can I recognize your foot prints

As humans, If we did follow what kind of concepts this is. This story teaches a valuable lesson for us.

A young lady sat on a bus. At the next stop, an old lady got on the same bus and sat next to the young lady. She spoke loudly and looked grumpy. She squeezed the seat with her big sized bags. The person, who sat on the other side of the young lady, got upset and asked, "I can guess that you feel much uncomfortable. But why don’t you say anything to her about your inconvenience".
