Most of you guys know well about Alexander the Great. Yes, am talking about the Greek who born in Athens and won all most all Europe and made invasion into Asia. He had spent just 32 years only in this earth. But still we all remember him. See today, 2338 years later I am writing about him. Just imagine the impact of that Great Greek king in the History of our entire Mankind. Could you tell me a personality who had lived before or during the period of Alexander and have fame like him?

While I was

FB created a tool that allowed you to change your profile picture in support of marriage equality. I have found a few information it could be an experiment on its users. As we know, FB is data harvesting and analysing capabilities of people.

I hope that this tool has been invented only for celebrating LGBT rights and it shows that more and more people whose are out of this community are giving us solidarity to improve our rights worldwide. What do you think?

Recently I have observed a new perspective in movies. It was always like there were some nice people against those who were the bad guys.  The good ones were always good and the bad ones were always bad. It was like they were born to be villain. The new perspective in movies tries to see positive and negative features in villains. They would act so differently if they had a chance; I meant the chance of being good. When the villains are not blamed for everything wrong, when they are treated well

The Greeks surprised the European polibureaucracy in Brussels by letting the people speak—an outrageous dose of democracy from a country said to have been its birthplace! And the (now ex-) Finance Minister of Greece was largely to be thanked for it, much to the annoyance of the European elites who are trying to bail out the banksters. This article shows Varoufakis in an unusual and amusing light:

Today's tip of the day - reading.  Reading is a remarkable way to increase your vocabulary.  And I have a suggestion for getting the most out of your time reading.  

For beginners, reading can be extremely difficult.  However, it does not have to be scary.  All of my 2nd level students start reading short paragraphs.  My third level students are reading classical short stories.  Short stories are ideal because they are not too long.  Classical short stories are nice because there is a great selec

We Muslims have been commanded by Allah to offer essential (Fardh) prayers (Namaz – Salah) five times a day. (Unfortunately many of us now-a-days do not take it seriously).  These five essential prayers are offered at fixed times.  Fajr ( before dawn), Zohar (after mid-day, just after noon), Asr (starts in the beginning of evening and remains till sunset), Maghrib (just after sunset) and Isha, (after one and a quarter hour after sunset, remains till before dawn).  These five salah are preferably

Don't feel bad if you make mistakes with these three.  It is confusing for native speakers at times.  However, there is a simple test to pick the correct form.

Let's start with the easiest test:  "they're"

First let's look at "they're," which is the contraction of "they are."  If you can switch "they're" for "they are," you have the correct form.

They're going to a party.
They are going to a party.

Next, let's look at "their."  "Their" is the possessive adjective (which means belonging to them).  If

Recently while listening to the one of prominent and ultimate Guru, I came to know one miraculous truth of water. “Water too have emotion”

A experiment done once on the water by two school student. They took water in two separate container and kept into the two different room. In one room they show their love, compassion & talk all the positive, On the contrary in another room stated to abusive each other used all nasty discussion. They kept doing so for 10 days and the observation was astounding

Hi again, everyone. 

Today I'm gonna open you a famous mountain district called "Kazbegi" that is situated on the north of Georgia. The total distance from surface to Kazbegi + Gergeti Church is around 3 500 m (as the driver told me). Just imagine how high you sit and observe this planet :)))

As usual, all photos are taken by me (and movie is made by me) but I decided to make a short photo-movie in order to make it bright and interesting. Watch it first and love Caucasian mountains as I love them

Hello, guys!) 

I'm currently in Georgia traveling around beautiful places so I'm gonna share with you useful tips and my impressions that can help you if you go there! (as usual, all photos are taken by me. I made a movie for you. You can watch it in the end of this blog).

I arrived to the National airport where you can get to the city by train, bus #37 (I wouldn't recommend) and taxi (I preferred). Need to sa

Does Valentine Day still matter to me?  I'm not sure how to answer this.

There's no one special to spend this day with.  I'm now single.  A widow.

But, somehow, I'm still tickled when February comes.  The many commercial advertisements tickled me.  Why?  Because, there many novelties now to receive and  to give gift to.  The new flower arrangements tickled my heart and longing come again. The old songs and music bring romantic memories alive again.  The mouth watering chocolate candies just irresi

Frankie Boyle is a comedian, but this piece is deadly serious. He says in blunt terms what people like Noam Chomsky have been trying to say for decades:

Last week the US Supreme Court approved gay marriage (https://edition.englishclub.com/listening-news/2015-06-30/), a great decision in order to build a better society.

It has not been an easy fight, but I feel proud because it is a proof that society is becoming more liberal, more equal.

Let people marry who they want, it´s not our bussiness, how could gay marriage harm the society??

I´d like to know your opinion. Have a nice day.

There are 2 seasons here in the Philippines, Summer & Rainy. Because of the geographical  location on the planet, the Philippines  has a "Tropical Rain forest Climate" all over the country.

Something that seems as easy as an article can cause confusion for English learners.  Often the rules for articles are quite different than those of the learner's native tongue.  So today, I decided to start with the basics.  Believe it or not, these are often the ones that cause the most confusion.

We have three articles in English:  a; an; and the.  How and when do you use them?

Let's start with the indefinite articles.

a/an

The rules:

-use before a singular countable noun

-use an before a word that

Does your English sound choppy when you speak?  Learning to speak English can be a complicated process.  However, even after you learn the grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, you still may find that your English does not flow like that of a native speaker.  

One exercise that my students do to improve their rhythm and their pronunciation in English is to recite tongue twisters. Tongue twisters not only help with pronunciation, but when recited correctly, increase a learner's ability to have c
