A Simple Explanation for Say Versus Tell

It can be difficult for nonnative English speakers to differentiate between say and tell since both verbs refer to communicating verbally with someone. However, there is a simple method for understanding these words and avoiding inaccurate statements like, "I say her

Today once again the pain in my heart increased. She once again came before my memories out from my subconscious. Years ago I met her and then expressed my feelings in here on this forum of EC. I find it worth reviving:

“Bosom Friend

We saw each other on a jogging track and all at once we became friend.......best friend I can say so, because she never denied my company, rather I always see her eyes shining when she is with me. She is the coolest girl in temper, but has the sweetest smile. She has

I am a newbie in EC and I think it was a good choice to be here among all you, but… but you know, first when I joined to the main room it was really hard to discuss with the others (and now it is too but better than before) because I knew nothing about them and neither they did, but after a while I met some great people there, and I can’t forget some strange feelings (!) that I experienced in different situations that sometimes were really disappointing!

So I want to show some of these situations

My dear homeland …..

 People say that you are land of emotional fools….they are true to some extent..(may be to larger) we love so passionately that we commit suicide when don’t see our beloved is going to be with us( and beloved sometime unaware of our obsessive love)….. but sometimes beloved commits suicide when lover cheats and run away( in both situations suicide is a must…ufff)….dear homeland!!!!! you have miraculous people who stop loving one another when got married but fulfill the promise

It’s a question that I asked to myself when I read the line “Prepare your mind to receive the best that life has to offer” by Earnest Holmes. In my fantasy she is an invaluable gift given by life for sure. I am trying to comprehend her looks, her intellect and the relationship (real or virtual) we share….

I don’t know. No one knows what cooks inside her mind. There is a perpetual smile on her face. And behind that smile, there is something fishy. She portrays as being determined on ideology, but

    Hello dear friends, as I am an active member of English Club (^_^), and prefer to post at least one blog per a year, and as the current year (2015) is about to be over, I decided to write this blog.    

    I always try to be a logical and reasonable person and usually after encountering to an event or phenomenon, I used to look for its reasons. I believe that all occurrences around us, can be proved and described using the physical logic and rules. As an example, I have no fear of any sounds

A Letter To My Beloved Country…….Pakistan.

Dear me, I am well aware that you are officially called Islamic Republic of Pakistan, republic in South Asia, marking the area where South Asia converges with Southwest Asia and Central Asia having Islamabad (City) as your capital, but Karachi (my Janam Bhomi) is the country’s largest city of 200 million population (unofficial).

Your present day was the cradle of the earliest known civilization of South Asia, the Indus Valley civilization (2500 -1700 BC).

Dear Bangladesh,

Let me say first that I love you. I was born and raised in your lap. I got my education and everything from you. So, you deserve my respect.

You are a riverine country. You have the longest sandy sea-beach with hill aside, mangrove forest.You have hilsha fish and jamdani sari and six different seasons!

Along with it, you have a glorious past of freedom.You are the only country whose soil sons/daughters once sacrificed their lives for their mother tongue. Now this day is observing a

I really love the term "Sustainable Development", I think it's the best way to fight against the issues which become the thread of existence of humankind in this twenty-first century. The term is well adapted by the Western countries, but for the people of countries like Bangladesh, India and Pakistan it’s fairly a new term and yet to realize its importance for the development of the nation. I am sure that many of us familiar with the term, though my intention is not to explain it in a tradition

Dear Philippines,

You are called the Pearl of the Orient seas as you are like a gem in the midst of the vast Pacific Ocean.  An archipelago of 7000 islands stringed together by lush tropical waters that on first view may seem so still and yet so dynamically pregnant with marine life.   Tropical green pastures and flora blanket every inch of your ground like tinsel wrapping for your fertile earth.  Your horizon gives way to an expanse of clear blue skies and shifting clouds that sometimes dip down

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird unde

People are influenced by the culture they are being surrounded. Culture includes traditions, social customs, and religions, which mostly determines how we feel, think
and look to others. This sometimes leads to disdaining
people who are different from us, especially to those who
are diametrically opposed to us. When this occurs, we need to take great care of our way of thinking to be balanced. It means having respect for the outlook of other people from different cultures as long as their cultures

When person does not expect goodness from their blood then what is the expectation from uns. it is saying that relatives are good in one way, they hurt then keep in shadow, but We says if relatives hurt then what is the shadow and sunshine.

The bleakness and (mathlab parasti) of uns do not hurts much as of relatives, because human can not accepts that our own relatives acts like this.

But just like all finger are not equal,human are not to equal each other; if one person is selfish then other will

I booked for an X-Ray a few days ago for a regular health check and this morning my husband dropped me off at the street near the building where I had the X--ray done.

The radiographer's a lovely lady and we had a peasant talk. She's probably at her late 40s and she told me that she had got a pathology degree from a 4 years study many years ago and right now she's doing her second degree in ultrasound as a part-time student. I wonder how many years it will be for her to complete the part-time cou
