My Boyfriend Doesn't Love me?

I’ve been with him since September, 2003. Ten years has passed, yet we still haven’t found our smooth way and have to bumble along.

I am not sure if I will stay with another him for ten years. But still I feel tired and confused once in a while. How can I catch his heart tightly? I ask myself sometimes.

Maybe I am not an eligible girlfriend? I looked into myself and found some clues.

Nominally speaking, I have been with him for ten years. Yet, I was immature and lazy; the real time I spent with him

Vive la France

This joke I got from my cousin from Canada

True story reported by an English guy who was stopped and asked to give a breathaliser test.

The English guy lives near Le Bugue in the Dordogne and at the time he was stopped he was as pis*ed as a rat...
The gendarme signals to him to wind down the window then asks him if he has been drinking, and with a slurring speech the English guy replies; 'Yes, this morning I was at my (hic)..daughter's wedding, and as I don't like church much I went to the cafe opp

He is a kind man

I was mourning for my lost money in the busy metro this morning. What an unlucky day, I talked with myself. To my chagrin, it was the second time for this month that I lost my money. I was annoyed with myself.

"Morning, Mickey!" Mr. Armous smiled and greeted to me when I walked out the metro near my company. Last time when I lost myself on the way to his company to give back his stamp, he happened to come back from outside and picked me up.

"Morning, Sir." I answered in a languid tone.

"What's up,

Malala - A Remarkable Young Lady

2346680168?profile=originalFor the past few days, I have been reading various articles about this remarkable young lady, Malala Yousafzai. She was feted to be a Noble Prize 2013, but she does not win it. However, I think she is still a winner to many children especially young girls. I think when you read her name, no futher introduction is necessary about this brave young lady. But, give me a little leeway here, I still want to say a few words about her.

Malala was a student in Swat Valley, Pakistan. She was an advocate of

Listen To News: Tokyo To Host 2020 Olympics Games -  10 September 2013

Discussion Question: While people in Tokyo are overjoyed by the news, many Japanese residents who have been displaced by the Fukushima nuclear disaster think Japan's money and effort should be spent on the tsunami damage. What are your thoughts  on this argument?

  Great question to think over.  The tsunami-shaped massacre whereby Japan population went through in March 2011 is not forgotten in our minds yet. It was a  unpredict

Writing Prompt - Listen Up

I was so excited when  hearing the electropop English band Fenech Soler was coming to my hometown on a television advertisement. I listen to the Fenech Soler's sound for the first time on a internet radio last year. The band released the debut album in 2006 and comes from Kings Cliffe, Northamptonshire  in England. It consists of four members namely: Ross Duffy, Ben Duffy, Daniel Fenech-Soler  (whose name entitles the band) and Andrew Lindsay. The sound of the band blends synthpop, indie pop, an

Even on the waves there is fighting
Where fish and flesh are woven into sea
One stabs the lance while in the army
Another throws it into the ocean

Arise, arise seaman arise
Each does it in his own way
One thrusts the spear into a man
Another then into the fish

Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their blood a spear is lodged
They bleed softly into the ocean

The lance must be drowned in flesh
Fish and man sink

COURAGE

This site was formed by some very courageous people who had a dream. As far as I can see, It's working for many English Learners. During my own short stay here, I've seen so much improvement in many of you regarding comprehension and speaking ability. A year ago, some of you could hardly form a proper sentence in English. Today, I see your posts in blogs and main chat and am so impressed.

SIR contains respect while TEACHER does not contain any respect. Students ofEnglish medium schools usually address their female teachers with MISS.

In India, a great number of people use RESPECTED SIR in their letters and applications on the popular misconception that RESPECTED adds strength to the word SIR.The word SIR is used only to show respect. Then the addition of RESPECTED is superfluous. The English never uses RESPECTED SIR.But you can use RESPECTED TEACHER because the word TEACHER contains no respect.
