Two days ago, my dear friend Selma invited me to join the karaoke group. She asked me, not only to join the group, but also to be ACTIVE there.

Note about the image: This is my son's blankie. He calls it "Nana". We think the name came from "night night" but we aren't sure. He doesn't have a grandma named Nana. :) I repair this blanket on a weekly basis. Thanks for all of your fun captions. You gave our family some giggles!

I read a research into how people learn languages,shows us that successful learners tend to be highly motivated. It diveds motivation into two types: EXTRINSIC  " outside" and INTRINSIC "inside".

Intrinsic " inside" motivati

A new method

Several years ago I attended English courses here in Minsk. Our group was quite good at grammar but we were too shy to use our oral English skills in classroom. Then our teacher invented  a special system for us.

A person who said even a word in Russian without teacher’s permission got a Black card. It were just pieces of paper. One side was all black and from the other side she wrote different penalties.  Sometimes it was funny… but not for those who got them I think.

And the other part of those

THE WALLETAs I walked home one freezing day, I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been in there for years. The envelope was worn and the only thing that was legible on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some clue. Then I saw the dateline — 1924. The letter had been

What we can say about Elizabeth of England is that she has behind her a very long career. She became queen when she was only 25 years old and has just reached the ripe old age of eighty-five. So, sixty years on the throne of England, how much does it pay ? Before reading, have a seat or you might fall down !!! 51,000 dollars a day, yes, that’s exactely what she gets !
Each year, the Queen has an endowment of twelve million nine hundred thousand dollars or fifty-one thousand dollars per day. Her s

After 5 months of NATO's bombing of military personnel and civilians in Libya, the Libyan government has today struck back as promised by detonating a sizable bomb in Oslo, Norway, between the Oil Ministry and a government building housing the prime minister, presumably regarded as a command and control centre. Norway is a member of NATO and has been actively participating in the NATO campaign against Libya. Like most of the other participants, Norway has major interests in the oil industry.

A stingy

A stingy person.

 

He is a stingy person.  His mind is set only on things that involves some  money.  He owns a house, a land and a lot of  money.......and still invests: another dwelling, and certainly not near to sea, rather a piece of land, but near to village, where you can build something...


And a vacation? Yeah! In spite of being preoccupied with accumulating money, he thinks of going into a vacation......perhaps to Polynesia.....or to Mondragoni!!!

And the best thing his acute mind chooses it

Is " HAMLET " inside everyone?

More studies and interpretations have been written about  " Hamlet " than about any other work of literature..Why..?

I think because some from everyone's nature has been touched in Hamlet.We can all find something of ourselves in this character.The conflict and the mixture of feeling ,it is an exact knowledge of human nature:  misunderstood by others, the hesitation, the lonliness inside ,the imagination ,..love ...hate..

all the feelings concerning people ingeneral .

Time flies! It's already been five months since I arrived here in Canada in February, and I'm going back to China in two weeks.

I really enjoyed my stay here, and so impressed by the friendly people, gorgeous sights, and the way they li
