         As you know, billions of Asians are celebrating the Lunar New Year (Some people call it "Chinese New Year" or "Spring Festival" in China). People in Korea or Vietnam or some other countries may celebrate it in different ways.  But, one thing's for sure, they all wish themselves or others a happy and lucky new year.

        I myself sent a lot of text messages on the New Year's Eve to wish all of them every happiness, a fortune, prosperity, success, health, a dream come true or something

History of St. Valentine's Day

Who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this day?

According to one legend, Valentine was a priest during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine was not happy and he continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

It is one of the most popular high level walk on the Madeira Islands. Pico Ruivo is 1,861 meters high and that makes it the highest peak on the Island. It provides some of the most incredible views of the island and a variety of flora and fauna. However, the weather condition is unpredictable. It is best to check the weather condition before climbing.

The place where my colleagues and I used to spend our weekend night. Perhaps this is the most authentic Arabian spot which still remain as it is.Suddenly I thought about why don’t  I write about what I know about this place.

People were always asked me how does t

hi guys...  i want to share with you this story I've read in fb... hope you'll like it  :)

The Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily, gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper t

What to say about my writing skill?

The more I learn, the little I know. The more I uncover, the more remains hidden.

Despite of my learning English, reading habits, plus other extra efforts, I still can’t find myself to write creatively. Whenever I attempt to write, I always hit the wall and that put me to a stop. I am useless with compartmentalising. So confused as to how I should start and what to write first. Everything seems to come rushing into my head at the same time. Then all of a sudden

In my opinion, it will not detract from our inportance,if the aid of the others helps us to reach what/where we are now , and it's wrong to think for  doing everything without the help of the others,  and being snooty for asking that , we make all this just when we haven't a great confidence in ourselves , means when we are really weak ............. but when we are strong we never feel in this .

When we get to a certain level of ability ,we will receive the help of the others with spirit of grati

I usually write on this blog with my own humor and try to make people laugh or flaunt my own limited writing ability. This one is an older video that'll make you cringe. Just watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk-3MU-rc0M  It's a very small planet my English Club Friends.

Read newspapers. Read online news. Read short stories. Read articles. Read all kinds of sign boards. Read magazines, books and novels. Have you developed your reading habit yet?

Reading skill is essential. Reading is beneficial and feasible activities.

When I first started my secondary school, I used to borrow English story books from the library. On the way home, in the school bus, I took out and read it. As I recall, I was not really reading it, not to mention that I did not even understand it.

English is not the language that can be tracked by translation. However, practicing it in four different common ways is the core point. Listening is the most distinct one amongst all. So while speaking, non native speaker think a lot of their own language, and this without doubt make English very tough and kind of hardship to be properly spoken. Fluency would be impossible by keeping translating while speaking English. Translation itself is complicated task though for experts so what about learn
