As a somewhat, controversial, yet, good standing member of English Club, I always do my very best to help out all of our members. I'm a native speaker who carries a great deal of responsibility when logging into this site while joking around with the more humorous members.

The topic and subject that I'm about to relate to is somewhat of a "touchy issue" and the story is a bit symbolic in it's nature. Please don't take offense. The entire story is written with the best of intentions. It's a real l

Celestial(sky) burial in Tibet

Sky Burial in Tibet

Tibetans practice several different forms of funeral: sky burial (or celestial burial), water funeral, cremation, interment and stupa burial. Which one is chosen depends on the wealth and social status of the deceased.

Sky burial is to feed vultures with the body of the dead. After vultures finish eating the body and fly into the sky, Tibetans think that the dead will go to the heaven. It is the usual means adopted to dispose of the corpses of commoners, and is not considered s

HAPPINESS

Hello everyone. 

Today I wake up in a sad and blue mood. I don't know why I am down; so I decided to reflect on that.

We are in a world that have created for us needs and dreams. Sometimes, those dream and needs are real but most of the cases, they are just: created. Who says that you need a cellphone with lots of app, who told you that if you are no success you are not gonna be happy. Who considers that happiness may be just found on material think. Sometimes, I say to myself. The inner part of a

I've decided to improve my pronunciation with help of teachers from italki, my favorite source of finding teachers :) 

And this morning I had a class about f a v sounds in cases when they go together in one word, like in words five, favor, fervent, fever, flavor. And I should say, as always it was fantastic. 

Except learning of how to pronounce sounds correctly, on my opinion, it's important to don't forget about your manner or style, and, of course, the content of your speech. And I think that yo

WHY DO STARS TWINKLE :-

The scientific name for the twinkling of stars is stellar scintillation (or astronomical scintillation). Stars twinkle when we see them from the Earth's surface because we are viewing them through thick layers of turbulent (moving) air in the Earth's atmosphere. 

Stars (except Sun) appear as tiny dots in the sky. As their light travels through the many layers of the Earth's atmosphere, the light of the star is bent (refracted) many times and in random directions. This r
