This blog was written because my friend Asmaa requested me to explain the two childhood games that I used to play. These two games were mentioned in her "comment" box of her blog Remember Your Childhood

The first game was "snake and ladder". It was a board game. My siblings and I used to play this board game at night before our bedtime. We used to squabble and cheat each other while playing this game. Sometimes, my parents were so fed up with us for bickering while we were playing that we were ba

Hi all,

My name is Jason and I am currently studying in Sydney Australia. I think this is the perfect forum to practice writing skills. I hope members can give me a constructive feedback on my writing skills. 

Hey there everyone! This is Casper from Bangladesh.I am a new member and this is my first post. Well nothing to give you a lengthy introduction about me..I'm studying Electrical Engineering. Right now, actually i'm not a li'l bit upset because a big tragedy happened in the history of our country recently. Its about that a building has collapsed with about 5000 workers in it.

1."A picture is worth a thousand words."

Pictures convey emotions and messages better than written or spoken explanations. 

2."There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Things that are offered for free always have a hidden cost.

3."There's no place like home."

Your own home is the most comfortable place to be.

4."Discretion is the greater part of valor."

Sometimes it's important to know when to give up and run away, instead of always acting brave and maybe getting hurt.

5."The early bird catches the worm.

Thank you for taking time to comment on my photo of bathing with elephants.

As far as I am aware all animals "Can" swim except for humans.

We must learn where as animals do it naturally.    Sometimes, even after learning how to we still cannot.

My children started to learn "how" when they were 3 months of age.     When a young baby is taken under water they automatically climb up for the surface.

Perhaps it is when we become older and learn "fear" that we then decide we are not able to swim.

Hi guys. We would like to announce the chatter award nominees for March-April 2013. You might wonder why the nominees below are for March-April 2013, that’s because we decide that the voting and announcement for the award will be held every two months.

Sadly, we only can announce nominees for three categories these last two months. We don’t have nominees for the humorous chatters for the last two months. Each member only could vote once and the voting will be closed on May 5th, 2013.

A friend of mine asked me that question on my birthday fifteen years ago.

I asked that I just play my own role, me, susi. 

And then she replied that my answer is wrong. She  asked me to think again.

But I given up at that time and I asked her to reply her own question. :)

Then she said that i have many roles that i have to play well and sincerely.

She made a list :

1. I am as a woman

2. I am as a daughter

3. I am as a student

4. I am as a friend

5. I am as a sister

6. I am as .... atc.

Do you write a diary? If you do, try to write it in English. Gradually, you will improve your writing skill.

However, I want you to look for the difference in meaning among diary, journal, logbook. They are great words to learn to build up your vocabulary. Don't forget that you must learn English by using English because learning English through translation cannot give you a thorough comprehension of this target language.

If you kept a diary, what would you write for today? Of course, you can just

Hello my friends.

We had a new grammar yesterday. It was about use of "nothing, nobody, anybody, anywhere, ..." . We made lots of sentences. I should write about a festival with this grammar. Do you have any offer for an exciting festival? :D

It's been ten years since I went home (to where I was born). Two days ago I traveled 16 hours to visit my hometown. It was raining so hard and I did not like it cause I still have to walk for about an hour and a half to reach our village. 

It's been ten years but not much have changed. The same old neighbor that we have before, they are still there, people still grow their own crops and animals. I guess what changed is the house we used to have. No one stays there anymore so there are a lot of we

            One must be aware of the fact that It is not the real problem to make a mistake .Even if your mistake is big and It is not the feature if you confess and accept advice.

The world is divided into 7 continents, which comprises: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia ( from largest in size to smallest). You also know several different ways of distinguishing the continents according to distinct subregions such as the six-continent, the five-continent or the four-continent model.

Gone are  the days when it was difficult for the non native speaker to get good without a good background   where one  could  acquire  this language: Good teacher ,  good  books and  the circle of friends and acquaintances  who spoke  good English 

In my day we did not have the computer (as an addition )to assist to acquire a language .  We had  good teachers and the environment  was  such we spoke English :at home  at school at work and at play and  not forgetiiing  we read a lot .

Those were such the beautiful days of pupilhood, no worries about money, no concerns about work duties, just going to school with a backpack and listening lectures from respectable teachers.

She was my classmate, an intelligent learner of literature, somewhat reticent and being timid girl in figure of all people. I did not know why such images had obsessed mind of a 17 year old pupil like me, they were so strong that made me stay up over midnight, covering in blanket with a tiny light, to write t

Market globalization has created numerous opportunities for non-native speakers of English to get hired in an international company. Frequently, foreigners are hired as customer service representatives where one of the major requirements is good knowledge of English. However, these workers often get discriminated for their accent and this is why it is essential for them to improve their pronunciation and reduce their accent.
