Here's a fun lesson in English from a really good site "Breaking News English." They have good resource materials for teachers. Take a peek at their lesson.
Researchers* have found that looking at cute things while you work can boost your powers of concentration and increase productivity. A team of cognitive psychologists at Japan's Hiroshima University discovered that skimming through cute photos of things like kittens and puppies helps people focus better on their work. The team based its res

As I've said that I was a dreamer. One of my dreams is to have a beautiful home like a palace. Every day I pass a beautiful and luxurious residential exactly as I dreamed. And I always say, "one day one of these houses will be my home". Could it be? But I'm pretty sure I certainly can and should be able to have one of these houses.
After almost 6 months I worked, I idly asked a security guard at the housing.
"Sir, What is the price of a house here?". "About 10 billion". I was floored. Ten bi

Research paper is all about questions and answers regarding your research and how to present them the right way to make them clear and concise for the reader to understand and draw a conclusion. Many teachers assign students dissertation topics that involve lots of research and hard work. However, due to lack of time and understanding on their part, the students are unable to group their research questions the right way to come up with an interesting and valuable paper which leads to less marks

At last !!!!!! There is a moment for us to shout out our unspeakable feelings.
Firstly, thank you for Miss Tara Benwell for this auspicious occasion.
Lately, We've been disturbed by the newest Disney Cinderella film trailer.
How, we do not become distracted, when we described as ugly and evil, over and over again in every new version of our sweetest-pure-hearted-incredibly beautiful step sister story.
Can you imagine that we have to fa
The Wicked Witch- Best Villain Award
How do I thank thee? Let me count the ways.

Childhood Days
I woke up and I realized it was almost dusk, I had slept through the day because I was weary. I was weary not because my body was tired, it was my heart, my being that was tired. In the semi-darkness of the room I found myself so utterly alone. I hung my head between my legs, feeling the futility of my life, my youth half gone with nothing to be proud of. And without cause I remembered a day in my childhood. I was at the beach, my parents, my brothers and sisters were with me. We
A poem written for my friend 'Dile the Crocodile.
An exotic tale of friendship that goes back in time like an ancient history
Perhaps not the kind of account that's exceptional, arousing or newsworthy
But indeed worth telling...never dile-apidated (dilapidated), never crummy
And in this friend's own dile-ct (dialect) I'll pen our story.
Once there was a creature...dile-irious (delirious) but funny
A bit dile-inquent (delinquent) on the outside...he plays recklessly
A sentimental fool inside...
CATEGORY – THE MOST INTELLIGENT CHARACTER
Character - Margiana
Story – Ali Baba and 40 thieves from Arabian Nights (Alf – Laila)
Ah! Thanks for this! This is very much to me and my teachers; I played the part of Margiana. I thank the Academy, the Jury for seeing in me the actress and intelligence, which I think I don’t have and I thank all those who did their untiring efforts to make my character successful. Especially Miss Unjli, who taught me how to dance, yes I had to dance during the climax
A young woman went to her mother, complaining about her life and how it was filled with difficulties. She isn't know how to behave, and are willing to give up because she tired from fighting and resistance. It looks as if it whenever solves a problem, another problem has emerged instead.
Her mother took her to the kitchen where filled three pots with water and then put them on a strong fire.
Shortly after the water began to boil, placed carrots in the first pot, then placed eggs in the second p

Role of modern technology among students
We do often mistakenly believe that the presence and power of technology override the importance and ramifications of learning through the experience of teachers. With so much technology and the power of internet around, students often think if they really rely on teachers anymore. Their belief in the fact that they can find technological resources more easily to identify rather than going to a teacher and interacting with them is getting stronger.
However,
I think whether we pick to use the 'american english way' over the british one or vice versa, it's good to get to know the differences of both :)
Which one do you prefer?
I am doing my best to make her happy, but she doesn’t respond the way I do. I do the work she leaves incomplete. I do the laundry, I do the dishes, but I daily do the dishes, even if she is at home doing nothing. I do write articles, research work, which she forwards with her name as she did all of them. I’m good at hair dressing, so she always asks me to do her hair, which I do with pleasure. What she does for me, she doesn’t do anything for me, oh, yes she doesn’t let me go loose, and she
