      A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as when one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground

    Eight months have passed and we are preparing to welcome a child once again... The feelings that I have was totally different from the last time. Maybe because I felt an  intense life growing inside me. It will be a happy little boy, a handsome boy, a brave  boy, a boy full of love and compassion. He would look like his father, with the same  gentleness

You Waited, I Hesitated..

I want to share with you my friend's poem, her name is Lubaba and she is really great <3

Enjoy ^_^

Now you’re gone

And here I am

Waiting for nothing

To become

I never knew

That this is how I would feel

That you would go

And leave me here

But you waited

And I hesitated…..

 

I gave in too much to my fear

I couldn’t accept the passion I feel

I kept on denying

Building around me

All these seals

Never knew that

They would come

Crumbling down

Falling for you……

 

So I tried to appear

To be strong

I was afraid that you

Would cau

I just want to share you guys this story.

This parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule praying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together, told them what had happened, and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old

Learn new local language (dialect)

Tomorrow, I'll start my duty, internship program as a doctor in one remote area for 1 year. I'm so interested with this, as a person who born and live in a big city all his life. One requirement I should do is learning their language. It's not a hard language. It doesn't have different grammar with our national language, but I still have to learn many new vocabs.What interesting from this is, this language has different level for wome words, means, the same word we use to friend, is different to

It was March 8, International Women's Day. I took my wife on a short pleasure trip to the beach of Cần Giờ District, Ho Chi Minh city by motorcycle.

I chose this destination because it takes just a day for a round trip by motorcycle. I also thought that beaches there were not as crowded and as expensive as those of, for example, Vung Tau. Of course the where-to-go and the wherewithals are of equal importance, so far as the budget is concerned.
We really made good time due to the slack traffic and

So many of us face personal challenges in day to day life. Whether it's politics, traffic during the daily commute, family and relationships issues, or just that annoying insect that keeps landing on your arm while trying to write a humorous and intelligent comment in the main room as you wait for your best friend to show up that's ten time zones away from your region. The sun always rises in the East for all of us. Humanity never stops for anyone. I'll post you a song that really isn't gender s

The next morning, before the daybreak, the Ox, the Horse, and the Sheep started out. The horse led the way, because he had the good sense of direction in the darkness, the sheep follows him tightly, and the ox walked after. The Rat, which lived close to the ox, seeing they leave, without a second thought, climbed on the tail of the ox furtively…

When the sun rose, the Cock crowed, and then started off, the Dog, the Boar who live close to the cock went after.

The Rabbit dolled up herself then went

The Most Attractive Thing

“Mickey, read me, I can tell you interesting stories!”

“Mickey, read me, I can share you profound thoughts!”

“Mickey, read me, I can show you a beautiful world!”

Staring at all kinds of books on the shelves in the library, I seemed to hear their callings, and fell into a problem of making a choice. Suddenly a question popped up in my brain——Who are they?

Residents of the library? Knowledge? Books?

I tried to find an accurate word to generalize them, and the word “minds” soon occurred to me. The more

When you are gone

When you are gone

I’m going to tell me

You have never come here

Just like a dream

Disappear

 

When you are gone

I’m decided to forget you

Forget everything about you

Just like an eraser

Wipe off all

 

With me

My heart is yours

Leave me

You won’t be

My memory or history

 

When the autumn was coming, the leaf received a letter from the tree. She didn’t say anything after reading the poem in the letter the whole day, and she didn’t even eat anything. What she knew was her time was up, and the wind would take her to

FEEL THE RHYTHM!

This is taken from a document I am writing for work reasons. I thought that some members here may be able to relate:

ESL learners all have unique streanghts, as well as areas they find quite hard. What most ESL learners have in common, is a difficulty speaking, and putting what they know on paper in to practice.
A learners native language has a lot to do with how they take to spoken English, for example, a speaker of a syllable timed language will find the stress timed rhythm of English hard to ma
