I have added a few idioms about monkey from my original blog, since there are a lot more and interesting idioms about them. The additional idioms are highlighted in blue font. LOL.

Everyone is different

Everyone is different, and everyone has unique experiences that no one else can claim. Even when we are in big groups, each person is focusing on something different, thinking of something different, and noticing something different.

  So, first, I can mention that the differences start in the HISTORIC PAST, that is, the history behind both languages. The roots of English are a bit different from Portuguese, even though, English has suffered influence of French and Latin in some aspects. English has in its groundwork, mainly germanic roots and P

"Chalk and Talk "

2346577021?profile=original

Another school year passed and the same questions cross my mind :

-How can we apply the four skills of learning English at schools ?

-How can we change the old ways  to  better ones if the number of the students is large and the textbooks should be finished during the school year ?

The teachers in most countries still practice the traditional teaching method which is :

"Chalk and Talk ".This phrase often used to describe traditional teaching.  It describes  the teacher in front of the group of learn

8 Reasons One Should Sing

2346619853?profile=original

                                                 I got this picture from here.

I am a shy person. I had never sang before. However, from the birth of Karaoke Group, I sang. The funny thing is I do not even have  proper voice to sing. I even hated to listen to my voice. Listening to my voice was frightening. However, I realized everybody has this feeling. No one likes to listen to his or her own voice especially on the Internet where everybody can listen to them. I tried to ignore this feeling and

Pretty Clouds

When I was a child, I dreamed to be a pilot. I think there's excitement and adrenaline rush in navigating an airplane. You would get a closer look to the skies especially if the weather is fine and dandy. I'm sure that the main responsibility of every pilot is to accompany the passengers reach their destination safely. Though I didn't end up as a pilot, boarding an aircraft always gives me pleasure. That's my chance to see the clouds up-close and personal.

I'm fascinated with cloud

This story is nearly forgotten among the Malay children. It's not as popular as other fables that involves tiger, mouse deer or even crocodile. I still remember this story which I read when I was a small kid centuries ago. I was surprised that when I tried to find this story online, I hardly find anything about it. Therefore, I would like to share this story with everyone, to keep it alives.

When writing this fable, it reminds me of one EC Member that I always teased by calling him "Python". I do
