A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains.

The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep"; but no onepaid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure la

Then she began to eat the corn. Being very hungry, she ate a great deal, and went on eating and eating. She had grown very fat before she felt that she had had enough.
When the mouse tried to climb out of the basket, she

I was really irritated with my friend's habit. In college she go to washroom before every lecture and after every lecture to comb her hair. Before going  to home after college she doesn't forget to go to washroom. I'm really tired of this habit of her. She is so concerned about her hair.

Have you ever wondered if you, your child, or a friend might be dyslexic? Dyslexia is a condition that is inherited, and ranges from mild to severe. A dyslexic person's brain does not function in the same way an average person's brain functions. The weakness is related to the processing of language. The word dyslexia comes from the Greek words dys (difficulty) and lexia (language). 

Dyslexia is not simply a reading disorder. Dyslexics may also have difficulty with writing, spelling, pronunciati

Me and my friend decided that today we'll go for shopping. But I couldn't go because my sister and brother-in-law were coming to meet us. It's really hard to explain to my friend that why I wasn't coming. But they didn't listen to me. I really hate it when no listens to me.

I think it's enough for today. Like I always say please tell me my mistakes if I've made any.

Thank you :)

This blog aims to share some notes in order to give encouragement about pronunciation.  I'm making a self-study without any tutorial, the only things in my progress are internet and books.

But, the learning would really be started when somebody is in the womb or in different words, ‘’before coming into the world’’. It means that learning is a process with unique characteristics!
