Hello my friends ;

I am just wondering to know that how can I make sure that an Specific word / phrase is british or American ?

For example how can I figure it out that which countries use "display cabinets" As meaning of a glass container used to store and display items in a shop or museum or home.

However, there is a major problem for the people like me and its really make me confuse.

I will be happy to get your views.

Thank you.

2346880612?profile=originalIn summer Kiev, the capital of Ukraine is a very green city with  a lot of blooming flowers and flower shows are traditional here. However, the greatest flower show is always devoted to Independence Day that is on August 24. Those showes are always grandious, gorgeous and breath taking. This year the flower show has been arranged under the slogan of peace and indivisibility of Ukraine. There are many different sections of this exhibishion. But all exhibits are made of flowers only. I think, it i

Most of us struggle waking up early, and I'm guilty of it. I can't shake off the sleep and rising early seems impossible to me. I have to drag myself out of bed, rushing to get ready for work, and skip my breakfast because I'm late, as usual. And one of the worst things of being late is battling for rush-hour traffic everyday. So yes, I'm already frazzled rushed every time I start my day off.

I wanted to be an early riser. I want to witness the beauty of nature like seeing the sun rises and how t

Today I would like to share something real, something about friendship you might come across over the internet, friendship which is worth it.

"Baba Tahir", The naked poet!

"Baba Tahir Oryan" is a famous Persian poet who lived about a thousand years ago. Most of his life is clouded in mystery. He is well-known for his short poets (couplet) which are full of introspection and almost all of them bring new ideas into mind. As I like his poems, I translated four of them. I can explain the meaning if somebody is interested:

A story every now and then >>

A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the

I lied. I lied to you when I said I am not in love. I lied that I do not feel it. I faked it, and never put the real feeling in front of you. Don’t know, whether it was lack of courage or lack of understanding. What so ever it was, it was a blunder for sure. A blunder which has no redemption, it has only consequences.

In the walk of life, I met people and I lost them. They came like a day and went like a night. I can not remember them, because my memories are pre occupied by you. Everything, ever

Dear friends! I think you all heard about the recent Russian so called humanitarian convoy (according to Putin!!! What a suitable word!) of 280 trucks that were sent to Ukraine on Putin's own initiative a week ago. This action hadn't been coordinated either with Ukrainian government or with The Red Cross. Just look at them! Do they look like a peaceful mission? As a matter of fact, these are the military trucks painted white and soldiers disguised in some strange uniform. It is not only well-kno

The Rain!

It's a gloomy Monday evening and I can sense the scent of moisture in the air. Here it rarely happens to rain in such a summery day. My friend replies to me it's possible but not probable. I murmur it's also probable!

I say goodbyes to my friend and take my path to the other side of the town, where I'm going to play basketball. Yet I'm not far away that I feel the hit of the first drop to my face. Each step I take the rain intensifies and the world seems more ambiguous behind my glasses. The side
