Poly: (Many)

Polygamy means a system of marriage whereby one person has more than one spouse. Polygamy can be of two types. One is polygene where a man marries more than one woman, and the other is polyandry, where a woman marries more than one man.

IN THE PARK

Nothing is more pleasing for me than putting my feet on the green velvet of the grass, especially when it is covered with glittering pearls of the morning dews. It gives me a ticklish sensation, penetrating from soles, conducting throughout my soul. I feel myself in the cool sphere, closed eyes, but still seeing me covered with white cold mist, calm and quiet, so contended like a baby in the lap of mother, the lap of mother nature. Though a few moments, but this is the outcome of life

Dear Captain,

I am in a very low mood now.

Yesterday was Sunday, and I went back home after being out for a long time staying in the gerocomium. I enjoyed my Sunday. However, when I came back to my workplace, I was told that Grandpa Mi had passed away...I couldn't believe it. Yet as I rushed into his room, only to find a vacant white bed.

His innocent smile is still so vivid in my mind. He was the oldest man in the gerocomium, and stayed here for a very long time. Before I came here, Jane tak

Dear friends! This post is dedicated to one of my best friend in EC - :) 

        Now is the right moment to do all the things you have been delaying till "Later". We have an overrated trust in life, in time; Even though they actually always betray us. We soon realize that there's no "time" to do what we always wanted, & what we never considered we may be unable to do someday. Nothing is guaranteed. So do it now; while you still can.

The past isn't really past if it's still living in your heart.

Dear Captain,

Long time no contact. How's everything?

This time I don't want to talk about my work. Instead, I'd like to raise another topic. I'm sure you have a very excellent sense of directions since being at sea you need that skill. I can not distinguish west or east, just know left and right [sometimes even mistake them, hehehe]

Having a bad sense of directions keeps me indoor especially at nights. Last Saturday eveing I got lost when shopping with my workmates in the gerocomium. Finally they

 Interesting Facts In Easy English: "Selfie" Is The Word Of The Year

  Discussion Question: Language changes so quickly these days that it's almost pointless for new dictionaries to be printed. Do you think we will soon see the end of traditional publishing when it comes to reference books such as dictionaries and encyclopedias?

 The process of evolution of languages is so wonderful , because it makes us notice the way which we express, also follows the rising changings of our technological era.

 Root Word ~ phon: voice, sound

Struggling to be a good phonetics student

  What makes me to move ahead in the process of learning a second language is the possibility of not only speak it, but also speak it phonetically correct.

  That's why I'm giving more importance to the English phonetics through the  study of IPA chart sounds for some time now.

  It's like I wanted to have all the phonemes highlighted to the maximum in my voice when talking to other persons.

  This way, I intend to get rid of c
