Writing Prompts ~ Capital I

  As every commited language learner I really love the wonderful language learning world,  especially the world of the English language. One of the hardest "problems" that I face in my personal learning is the issue of the correct usage of  definite article "THE". I know it can be a silly thing, primary thing, thing that almost all beginner learner has already  in mind  long time, but, the truth is that in fact, I also  have problems with this three-letter small word w

Listen To News: YouTube Holds Inaugural Music Awards ~ 05 November 2013

Discussion Question: How has YouTube revolutionised the music industry? 

  I consider YouTube one of the most fascinating tools of the Internet era. Through it, I can learn, study, teach, sing, listen, in the end, express me in thousands of  different ways. It's an amazing platform for who knows how to use it properly, didactically I'd say too.

  I feel that YouTube has revolutionised the music industy mainly for the new genera

Life is like a desert where we walk carefully on the sharp stones and sparkling sand. If a person blows up the way once, then he always swerves.His legs tremble with fatigue and his feet bleed. Atlast,that person loses his game of life after fighting with the life's challenges.

More than half of humanity lives inside this circle:

Do you also live in any area within that circle?

There are two attitudes in the world ; positive and negative .There is an old conflict between virtue and vice .The virtue always wins the battle . I read an Arabic translation for a quotation belongs to Mahatma Gandih “ if we follow offense by another offense; so when will the offense be stopped .”But the majority of people often like to be treated the same way they treat others. They want to love and to be loved back, to care for and be cared back, to yearn for and be longed for in return ,but

you are alone in this world be careful nobody help you.

Writing Prompt ~ Nosy Neighbour

 Hardly ever my neighbours are at home. They always go out at weekdays,  I suppose to work on. I see they ask their friends out  to go to their homes seldom. When there are kids in the neighbour's houses they often are screaming in some cheerful  birthday. Infrequently, they play at the garden or at the sidewalk, maybe its parents have fear something bad to happen with them if they are out of the parent's houses security. Ocasionally, the parents stop doing what th

I wrote that atomic power generation is convenient ('convenient' seems to be wrong, my friend taught 'useful' is correct) in a resent entry because I thought atomic energy creates huge amounts of electricity at a lower cost than other methods of electrical production. But now I believe this thinking may be wrong, because if nuclear power plants have accidents like the one in Fukushima, Japan, it will cause serious damage to our society.
So which methods of electrical production are better? Therm

An optimistic man can see the light at the end of the tunnel. A pessimistic man can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. A realistic man can see two lights in the middle of the tunnel. The locomotive engineer can see three crazy men on the rails.

Hidden underneath this skin, there are hundred layers. Layers that formed over the years. Some are of

happiness,some are of grief, some are of satisfaction,some are of pride, some of loss, some of victory, some of

betrayal some of love and a lot more. Every layer has its own unique color, an aura if you wanna call it that. They all

mix together and give your face the colors and expressions that you have. A face is a guide to your hidden self. And

eyes, well eyes are the secret passage to your heart.

Assalam-o-alaikum Friends! I hope you are doing fine. Do you know this week is International Fraud Awareness Week (3-9 Nov. 2013)? It is a good time for the organizations to stop and assess their situation: Are you protected from fraud? Have you properly screened your employees? Have you conducted proper due diligence in terms of your bussiness relationships?

Any company that can answer  "yes" to all three of those questions is rare,indeed. For most,the reality is probably a lot cloudier.Everyday

I read this interesting little article which was shared in the Facebook. It was about Ten Rules for Being Human written by Cherie Carter-Scott in ‘Life is A Game, These Are The Rules’. I hope all of you will enjoy these rules.

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called ‘life’.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and exp

Writing Prompt ~ Phrasal Verbs With "Hand"

  Last week I attended an amazing show with my bosom friends at Electric Ballroom in London. How some of them didn't have enough time to buy the tickects due to their hard weekly workday, I handed on their tickects online, from my personal computer at the show eve's night. They had just the easy work to print the vouchers to be able to get in the show's venue. But Mike, a cool friend of mine, arrived late at the entrance of the show and lost the chance t

 it was a warm and sunny Winter morning  of my early childhood  while i got this experience.Before that day we all were talking about it, we were too aware of  this sort of natural phenomenon. Anyway, after a long night it came to us. That time we were living in our old  house which was big enough to observe such type of scenery and we were able to use the chance properly. Though it was a weekday but we were not pretended to move towards our school and my parents allowed me and my brother to sta

As the day of our departure coming closer, my tension and curiosity went up. And finally when the time had come, i found myself in a bit dilemma which existed till the end of our journey.
