It was a sunny bright Autumn morning. I went to a hilly place with my lovely family. And, we entered into a forest to enjoy forest life. There was a tribal village in the back side of that dense forest. We saw many trees, wild flowers, birds and a lot of visitors. We were 6 in numbers. We wanted to take a group photo but who would take it? Then, suddenly I saw someone just opposite of us. And, he seemed  interested to take a photo for us. But, we did not ask. Just after that, a glimpse of old me

A day with a friend

Ah what you have reminded me. I remember a day I visited her, she welcomed me with smile. She held my hand and took me to her garden and offered me to sit on a bench under a tree. She sat beside me. She was holding an audio player and there attached the air phone. She thrust one end in my ear and the other one in hers. A soft tune started to come into my ears, then to my senses and then through entire of me. I smiled and she smiled back. I raised my arm and held her closed to

It’s all about the Comments:

It is 8th topic on the subject of ‘blog or blog post’, so naturally I can’t avoid referring to the viewpoints given in my earlier blogs on the subject. Like I have discussed earlier that a writer’s first wish is to be read, read by maximum readers so that he would be able to get their comments to his benefit, to improve language and vocabulary. So blogging, at a learning stage, as we all are at, is all about the comments, which every writer, especially me expects and

If you are a college student then you totally understand how stressful the life of a student is. And especially when near the exams you get a dissertation to write and that too in a short period of time. Of course, this automatically increases the stress and pressure level due to which you won’t be able to concentrate on other activities.

Writing a dissertation not only requires enough of time to write, but also it needs concentration, knowledge, interest and efficient resources in the particular

I had written off writing on my diary after college.  I was having so much fun living my adult life that deliberately making time to write down my experiences was just too much of an effort to do.  I whisked through these years of my life like a rocket eager to encounter new frontiers so that even my greatest love, reading books, has been cast aside like an old toy.  I was engulfed in the moment and before I knew it life happened…marriage, work, and kids.

 

 In the midst of this I came across phot

I posted this tribute a few days ago through my Facebook. However, I decided to share this tribute in here, but I need to put some note on the matter in order for non Malaysians to understand the reason for such tribute.

On Friday June 5th, 2015, Sabah was rocked with 5.9 Richter scale earthquake. The hardest hit area was the Mount Kinabalu. It was said to be the strongest earthquake ever hit Malaysia since 1976. As at todate, it was confirmed that 19 people were killed, including Robbie Sapinggi

I guess you've already been learning English for a long time, and you probably enjoyed reading all the blogs here. You may feel like writing your own blog. If that's the case, then it's time for you to publish a blog here. 

What's prevented you from writing a blog?

Are you afraid of making mistakes? Not so sure if you really want to write one? Nothing to share? Not interested in writing blogs? Don't feel like expressing yourself? Whatever reason it may be, if you still hesitate to write, you're mi

One which bloggers keep in contact oftentimes or even everyday.  Second, I thought about a meaningful topic which I could talk here. After all, blogs are so popular today, that is almost impossible not to have only one topic related, which it wasn't previously explored. After s

It's not uncommon that a blog consists of a very long paragraph. I usually suggest the blogger to paragraph the long paragraph whenever I come across one. Here's some tips:

A blog with short paragraphs is more readable than a blog with a long one

A long paragraph isn't so reader-friendly, which means it's hard to read. It can be so tiring to read such a long paragraph. Your readers deserve your consideration - they need the space and the pause. Make it a pleasant experience to read your blog.

THE SUNSET VIEW

As I watched the sunset It reminded me that I have received another blessing in my life this day,and this is to have another whole day of life spending with my family.Life is so short so we must enjoy it they've told me.

You can but!

You can hurt me,

You can steal my faith from me;

You can make me down.

You can laugh at me,

You can ignore me,

You can turn your face and

Can take vows not to see me again in a twilight,

You can forget me forever,

Even you can take,

You can snatch;

Our those sweet memories which we shared together,

 But, be sure, you can't  take away my dreams!

Big deal? Maybe not. Some members here may find it confusing, though.

'An English teacher' usually means someone who teachs English, but it may sound like someone who's from Britain, or the UK.  And, it can also refer to someone who teachs English and is from Britain. English is now such an important widely-used language, which's really something the British should be proud of. Some Britons or Brits (whatever you call British citizens), however, may not feel anything special when they hear you us

Writing Challenge: Bloggers Unite

Why English Language Teachers Should Blog

Hello everyone…

As a teacher I don’t have all day to sit and write but usually I write my classroom activity as blog, I could use that as my teaching record and a good reminder of past. It is a pleasure to write a blog besides teaching and examining my student, I would love to do that

My Definition of a Blog

According to IT terminology, a ‘blog’ is a website containing a writer’s or group of writers’ own experiences, observations, opinions, etc.  But in my opinion this is not just posting words in a group of sentences reflecting your experiences, observations, opinions etc.  A blog is a place you show yourself as what you are.  This is a mirror which reflect the energy of your emotions, it also makes other to feel the heat of your passions.  It is like talking to friends and w

Whenever I see or smell an orange I feel injustice. I have not recognized the injustice from university's books or Divine books, but I recognize it from oranges.

She knocked the door. Her stepmother opened the door .I heard the girl telling her ”it is my father’s birthday “ The stepmother shouted at her”Do not
