"2+2=5!!!"

        A teacher taught a boy math. The boy’s name was Arno. He was 7.

“Arno! How many apples would you have if I gave you 2 apples and the other apple and one more apple?” The teacher asked Arno.

“5!” Arno answered definitely.

The teacher felt worry. She expected a right answer for her easy question. She was disappointed.

“Maybe he didn’t pay attention well” She thought.

“Listen carefully, it’s so easy. You can answer it correctly if you listen carefully. How many apples would you have i

Last Friday I visited the site of Teacher Mike Harrison and found this exciting post "Photo story: A couple of beers #story", and it inspired me to create the same post.

I present this topic such as tribute to my cute cat which died few weeks ago. Before her demise, she showed her talent in entertaining us. You can look at the photo above which is funny enough! So I challenge you to guess what the story behind this photo is?

Please leave a comment with your ideas ... Thank you!

I myself have been speaking Indonesian as the mother tongue the language of unity. You know Indonesia has more than 400 languages​​. Our Founding Fathers made ​​the Indonesian language as the language of unity. That's why despite having more than 400 languages​​, we only speak one language, Indonesian, which has been enriched with a variety of vocabulary (local and foreign languages --Arabic,

A piece of my life’s experience…

I’d like to share with you my little story today. The story looks very simple itself, but I think it may cause you to think a bit about our attitude for lives towards life.

Once, I and some of my friends traveled to a country side. A place that was very beautiful with immense fields. The green color of grasses seemed like imbued the infinite space itself.

On that journey, I myself was impressed with the game flying kites one of the most popular games in the country

Writing Challenge# Reflexive Pronouns

I remember some years ago, I wanted to test Google Translate (Beta Version):

I questioned myself which sentence I should write for the first time.

I told myself "I am Sahar" is the best!

I wrote in Google box "I am Sahar" in Persian (من سحر هستم).

Then Google translated it: " I am magic"!

Magic?!!

Oh!

Yes!!

Sahar itself means "Dawn" in Persian, but it also means "Magic" with the same writing and different pronunciation, Sehr.

"Google must laugh at itself!" I thought

Birthday Present For a Girlfriend

It was Sunday and I was planning to visit somewhere. Suddenly, my phone rang, it was one of my friends whom I met in English Park last Sunday. He asked me if I was free and if I could go shopping. Yes! I answered him, as I myself was planning to visit somewhere. I asked him what he had to buy and which market he planned to go to. Birthday gift for my girlfriend, he said. He was new in this city, so he didn't know any market himself. I told him to meet me near "Th

As a somewhat, controversial, yet, good standing member of English Club, I always do my very best to help out all of our members. I'm a native speaker who carries a great deal of responsibility when logging into this site while joking around with the more humorous members.

The topic and subject that I'm about to relate to is somewhat of a "touchy issue" and the story is a bit symbolic in it's nature. Please don't take offense. The entire story is written with the best of intentions. It's a real l

Sky Burial in Tibet

Tibetans practice several different forms of funeral: sky burial (or celestial burial), water funeral, cremation, interment and stupa burial. Which one is chosen depends on the wealth and social status of the deceased.

Sky burial is to feed vultures with the body of the dead. After vultures finish eating the body and fly into the sky, Tibetans think that the dead will go to the heaven. It is the usual means adopted to dispose of the corpses of commoners, and is not considered s

My sudden visit to my parents home

Today, I am in my parents home, sleeping there with my kids since yesterday.I free myself to express my feelings during this sudden visit. when my pregnant sister herself called me yesterday to invite and encourage me to leave my home for two days to join her in her visit to my parents home, I felt happy.

Hello everyone. 

Today I wake up in a sad and blue mood. I don't know why I am down; so I decided to reflect on that.

We are in a world that have created for us needs and dreams. Sometimes, those dream and needs are real but most of the cases, they are just: created. Who says that you need a cellphone with lots of app, who told you that if you are no success you are not gonna be happy. Who considers that happiness may be just found on material think. Sometimes, I say to myself. The inner part of a
