In this blog, I want to share with you a few idioms/phrases related to gold. Did you know:-

1. The Midas Touch

The meaning of Midas touch is to have the ability to be successful, especially the ability to make money easily. The idiom of Midas touch is originated from the story of King Midas. It was an ancient Greek story. King Midas had a lot of gold and good fortune. But he never satisfied with what he had. The more he had, the more he wanted. He stored all his gold in a vault, and he would count

EnglishClub's Facebook page received its 100,000th like yesterday! This is a huge milestone. EnglishClub has been on Facebook since 8 July 2009. You can look through our Timeline to see some other fun Milestones, such as the date EC was born.

   If  you  beg  for something free you  don't have a  say  in what you get. It's something you say to someone who's getting something without trying for it.

 The term beggar  means a  person  that  begs for  money or  food.It  does not mean the same as homeless or poverty stricken. Many  such people do not beg , but make their living by other means. A wealthy person can be a beggar if  he  sits on a street corner and asks for people to give him money.

The main causes  for beggars are that they're

Here we are again... the month of December.  It still is a special month for me because of what it represents, the birth of Jesus Christ, and the end of a year and the beginning of a new one. 

Time to enjoy again that excellent performance of George C. Scott in Charles Dickens' Chrismas Carol.  For me, the best production ever. And as you may remember, in this movie Ebenezer Scrooge was visited by three ghosts representing the Chrismas past, Chrismas present, and Christmas to come.  Once again, t

Drones!!! Do you see it like this way---?

When you are in a solitude mode, or in intensely impassioned,   a verse could beam in your mind a different world and sense of pleasure. I’m talking about poetry. Why you read poetry? And how is poetry made of?

What is poetry?

No one knows what poetry is. Inversely, poetry has as many definitions as there are poets and readers. Is poetry like paintings where poet uses words instead of paint? One thing is for sure that poets are tightfisted on spending words unlike prose writers. Poetic form is ec

He was and will always be,a source of inspiration and symbol of universal brotherhood and love, which tracends differences of color, caste and creed.

Mandela showed the world that man can imbue politics with moral and spirtual values. How desperately we need a man of his vision & stature in our society who can change our world view , which currently divides people rather than unites, promotes hatred rather than love, and sanctifies the delusion that we are the sole bearers of truth & that all oth

I suppose, everyone who learn English knows of the importance of phrasal verbs and idioms in casual speech. Correct usage of them  allows us to sound more natural for native speaker. But majority of learners feel difficulties with understanding of this matter cause, besides a great amount of phrasal verbs, meaning of a phrasal verb can be completely different from the meaning of the verb it is formed from. For instance, verb ‘to let’ (to allow) and phrasal verb ‘to let down’ (to make someone dis

Dear Captain,

I'm over the moon. I am getting used to the enviroment in the hospital. Today is the 79th day since I am here. Jingjing is with me now!

She started her summer holiday last week and with her mother's permission she comes to me. She will be here for two weeks as I will leave in 2 weeks. I think she is a happy angel who is sent here by God. She has brought me a lot of smiles. Seeing I am happier, my mom is also reassured. I won't ask what happened to me, instead I just enjoy my day

Reading the news lately made me feel to share this to you, English club members. It’s about someone called Tarnedi, a 54 years old guy and working as a taxi driver for 20 years. But this one, is a special driver. Not because he has the skills like those guys do in the Fast too Furious movie with the crowded and hectic street of Jakarta. What makes him being the news headlines these days is because his English.

You know how old he is, but yet he is still eager to learn English. He didn’t graduate

 When we look up at great people,and wish we could be like them. You look up at your role model and feel as though you can never be that good.

Have you ever paused to ask yourself "why"?
Why can't you be that great? 
Probably your answer will be something like "Look at what I did" "Look at what he does" "look at how he looks"
So its WHAT and DO that makes the difference.
Do you pause and think about how that great person used to BE? Or do you just see him as he is now? Or do you just assumed he w

I have been in heat for a few days
So I'll go and hunt a female deer*
And until the morning I will sit there hidden
So that I can give it a shoulder shot

On the land, on the see
Lurks the destruction
The creature must die
Die!

A young female deer** comes to her feet
She had sunbathed in the high reeds
Makes good tracks deep into the forest
The mirror*** gleams and I grab it
The tail twitches like a finger eel
The shotgun jumps from the sheath

Hunters’ salute

I sweep the bast from the horn****
And aim the gu

Just now Bela woke up from her deep sleep but she has no wish to get up so early. It seems there is dark outside as there is no sign of early morning-Sun-beam. The curtains remains black. " Oh! damn, what can I do in such an early morning"?  This must be the expression which she intends to deliver right now. Anyway,Bela has been living in this two- story building for the last one year whereas her family is staying in a different city.

Actually Bela is here for her study purpose and she is bound t
