ESL Blogs

Are you ready for another blog challenge? I hope so. 

It can be so boring, dull, tedious or dreary to repeat the same words or expressions over and over again in a blog. Your writing can sound so weak or you're driving your readers up the wall if you do so. You could use different words or synonyms or other expressions instead, though. 

Your task is to try use as many alternative words or expressions that mean the same thing as possible in a blog. 

Your blog may sound just like this:

My relatives used to ask me about my boyfriend when I was a student. I just said "I haven't had one". Until I went to work, the answer was still "not yet".
So I perceived the substance of the song. No

I have self-motivation that drives me to act and leads me to success. Self-motivation is the inspiration behind my behavior and actions. It improves my confidence and self-esteem, as well as gives me strength to achieve my goal.

How I motivating myself?

The first thing is, I have a dream. Without having a dream, I cannot achieve anything. Only when I have a dream, I will be determined to follow it and make it happen. At the same time, I must observe how obsessed great men are with their dreams.

Culture makes people understand each other better. As part of celebrating different culture we all cooked our culture food and took it to work place and shared it with our friends.

Later we found out that she was allergic to Cashew nuts. One of our food contained cashew nuts. She never tried cashew nuts before. So sh

2-                Algiran is to combine both Umrah and Hajj. Meaning to say, when you make the intention at migat, you say,       ( labayka Allahuma Umrah wa Hajjah ), it means, oh Allah I am answering your call for Umrah and Hajj.  In this type of Hajj, the pilgrim does not take off his Ihram after he finishes Saai.  Saai  is performed once because of the intention of the combination.

3-     Alifrad

Atamattu  is to perform umrah during the months of Hajj. And when Hajj is due, its rituals must be performed.  Almutamtii (the pilgrim who performs atamattu) must sacrifice a sheep. The same rituals are done in both Hajj and umrah, but the main difference is, standing on  mount  Arafa. Standing on Arafa is the main corner of Hajj. ((Hajj is Arafa)) according to hadeeth of the Prophet Mohammed, (peace and blessin

Something about curiosity bugs me every night. Cant sleep in order.  Feel anxious being around people.
