First of all, let me remind you that I am not a teacher of English, so this is just a suggestion. The idea came to me while I was watching this movie called Before Sunset.

I believe some of you out there are so eager to speak English fluently (like me), you wish you can speak with someone 24/7. My former English teacher used to say “if you want to master English, marry a native speaker of English.” You wish if at all that will happen!

When we were young, we often didn't care with all the advices given. Since you have passed that time, and (maybe) have realized all the wrong things or good things you had done, what advice would you give, or encouragement...

I hope what all of you will post here can become my lesson too...

Special thanks to my friend Dayne who has helped me for this discussion...

Dear Marcus,

Congrats on you! Tomorrow you are going to marry your deep loving girl, I feel the same happy as you do. Tonight you are so busy and excited as I can see. You know, my boy, you are very charming and your smile is so bright.

Hmmm, I still remember couple of years ago, the day you came to ask me if you were good enough after you broke up with your first love, that day, you were so sad and tired. My boy, I know, I am always sure you are a kind and soft boy. But I told you if you loved he

It has been a while since I posted anything on my blog though I have two essays I have drafted and need editting. I promised myself to finish reading at least one book before I start writing again since I have ignored this activity almost two years now.

Continue writing! Continue writing! Conveniently, this thought persistently lingering in my mind. It did not go to rest until I stopped reading for a minute and started writing something.

We tend to wonder what we don’t know and envy what we don’t own.

For me, it is very true. I don’t live near a sea, and in my culture there is very a little part about sea culture. So the first time I read about sea culture, a dream of visiting the real open sea was pregnant in my mind. As time goes by, it grows strongly, as if I could fly all my romantic dreams at the vast sea.

To have a dream, you can feel sweet in heart; and to realize a dream, you will feel happy and excited, even if it is just

When I was in Khartoum, the Capital of the Sudan, I found a small book which has an attractive title; (Learn English in 4 Days without a Teacher), in a very local bookshop, there are some words and phrases translated in Arabic Language in the book. I thought it is easy to learn English in a few days, and I bought that book.

After the mentioned four day, I discovered it is so difficult to learn English in the identified period. Therefore I tried to join an English language a University diploma. T

1. Faith is the ability not to panic.

2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.

3. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home every day.

4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.

6. Do the math. Count your blessings.

7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.

8. Dear God: I have a problem. It's me.

9. Silence is often

Dear grandma,

Milan, sitting in front of the window, looking at the spring outside, fell into a deep thought. This morning she received a letter from Grandma, in which she read out much love and worry as well other than some words.
Here goes the letter:
…
Dearest kid,
How is life treating you these days since new term began and you went back to school? Do you eat well as at home? Do you sleep well? Do you play well? Do you study well? My kid, eat what you like but not junk food whenever you feel hungry; sleep

FOR ALWAYS  which  is sung  by STEVE  BALSAMO is a fantastic song . What's  your opinion about  this perfomer with unbelievable  abilities  in expression?

You adore nature

And I adore you

You wrote poems

And I read you

Genuine, Spontaneous, and True

They were all you

My words are poor

But my admiration is full

Reading you I feel moved

Wish I was born

In your time

And closer to you

You didn’t know me

But I do love you

You know

You were so cool

This is for you, my loved poet——Tao Yuanming~

sincerely

Suddenly at 3:00 am, as suddenly as she started, the crying stopped. We looked at each other. Relief was clearly written on our faces. Gently I put the baby back on her sleeping cot. She looked so peaceful. We took a few more minutes and just trying to savour the moment.

After a while, we tip toed from her cot. I decided to leave the sleeping lamp on and left the door

Years ago, in my teenage, I was invited to visit a temple which was hidden in a big mountain together with several girls. Since I seldom go outing, I didn’t know what should I prepare, and I thought they would take care of me, so I started off without any preparation.

At the half hill, I felt so tired that when we stopped to rest I fell asleep, waking up only to find I was alone and lost. Worries wrapped me, and I had to walk along the road, in the hope of finding them. After a while, I felt very
