Edgar Wallace is best known as the co-creator of King Kong. However, at his time he was incredibly popular and he wrote a lot of stories.
I have simplified and shortened one of his detective stories and turned it into a graded reader for intermediate students of English. It is called The Poetical Policeman and you can read it at

Definitely English is consolidated as a worldwide language. Good? Bad? Everyone seems to have a ready response to this issue. I strongly believe it is needed to have a language which can allow us keep a standardised communication among the different cultures of this big world.
Just imagine if we had to learn a new language every time we wanted to go to a certain country either for pleasure or on business. How hard it would be!
If on one hand, many persons can say the English is ruining the
Love is like a bungee jump, it's an adventure, it's exciting, and sometimes it is voluntary, let us have completely gone, but once it was the end, we can never reach the point where we got the first time, then you start to hesitate, the relationship becomes more peaceful, more stable, you want a simple touch, and sometimes feel that you can all dropped suddenly, and you find the starting point, then here you can give it another try.
Dear Captain,
This time I have a little secret to share with you. Um... er... I'll tell you some other thing first.
Captain, my poems to the sea have been adopted and published in our campus newspaper. I wrote those poems when I missed your ship and you. I just wrote them for pleasing myself. Do you still remember Fay, my new bosom friend after Ling who I mentioned in the last letter? She is the school newspaper editor. She read my poems and liked them very much, guess what, she begged me to let h
I am thinking of what to start my blog here. At first I wanna write about my life, friends and then everything around me. Then I fail to type any. I find myself bored and worse. The older I get, the less interesting I am. How empty my mind is now. At last I decide to talk about my day today.
Still having summer, I got up late, at 8, and all I did like yesterday was doing some washing and sweeping the floor. I was waiting for my husband coming back from school and drove me to the market, then I co

Schools are places where we can start learning everything as a basic knowledge when we were a child. That knowledge maybe helps us when we grow up and start working in our society. But, between 2 ideas, things learned in school or through life experiences, I think things learned through life experiences are more important to a person’s education, because beside what we learned in schools, there are also a lot of things we can learn outside our schools.
First of all, we are just taught by our teac
Hello my friends in my English club
I want to congratulate you on Eid al Fitr

It is a time of intense spiritual renewal for those who observe it. At the end of Ramadan, Muslims throughout the world observe a joyous three-day celebration called
Eid al-Fitr (the Festival of Fast-Breaking).

My parents is the most important person in my life, without them i am nothing. They teach me how to become a good and a better person even though most of the time I didn't really follow them. Their always there beside me and help me to get up when I'm down.
I can still remember when I was young. I'm always crying and getting angry when they can't buy the things that I want. I want to go fight with them but I cant because they don't even fight me back instead they embraced me tightly.

One pair of tears would be nice
Rub me with that on the evening
Tear flows, however flows too weakly (not enough)
I´m beating to help
And when I almost beg for water
I take the fountain (well) with me
Give me your eyes
Give me your light
Donate me your tears
I don´t want the soul
Donate me something
Donate me something
I beg so much
Your thighs hang heavy
Take the lips from the face
Smelling bad I don´t need
Eyes are gates to the s

I used to cry and ask for help
Grieves around made me yelp
From the world, full of pain
Sore was only, I did gain
Always feeling dead in morning
I was having my own mourning
Toward the darkness I kept going
Got a moving corpse without knowing
People were only wolf
I was a ball in their golf
Often hide ur grief
I just told u in brief
If they only see ur tear
They will tear like a bear
When this world that I saw
Wanted to kill myself by a saw
Happened miseries I did see
I chose to go into see
When I was about to dr
