Hello, there!
Do you know what ‘Question Tags’ are? If you do, how often you use them in your speech? And, are you pretty sure that you’ve been using them correctly?
On the other hand, if you don’t know how exactly they should be used, don’t worry!
The following videos will teach you everything about question tags!
To my dismay, I often hear people using "..., is it?" as the question tag with the main
sentences of all forms and tenses! For example...
He didn't .invite you to his birthday party, i
Active listening is watching closely and listening carefully.
In my experience, one needs to be calm first then he or she can focus on others instead of himself or herself. If there is something bothering me, I will easily think of myself and not pay attention to what other people say.
Active listening is important if we want to help other people. Only when you concentrate on others, care about others can you listen actively. It needs practice to listen actively. By watching closely and lis
Hello, everyone!
I'm not very good in English but I try to improve my skills. Especially I feel difficulties with communication because of almost all that I know and can in English is learnt by myself and I have had lack of an English speaker for communication. So I hope to find here friends which I could communicate with and just learn some new things.
I'm looking forward for your comments and suggestions.
P.S. If I made any mistakes I'll be thankful for your corrections.

Okay, let's show out what I learnt in here today.
Firstly, the combination of "ache".
Generally, we have five words often combined with ache to express a pain of parts of body. They are headache, earache, stomachache, backache and toothache. And there also are two combinations with parts of body, but its meaning are a bit different to the literal words. They are heartache and faceache. Heartache means an emotional pain, doesn't mean a physical pain in the heart. Faceache does not mean a pain of bo
When my days end ,darkness falls
Stars lose their shines , become black balls
Then , the death would find me
When I drown in pangs of death
And everyone leaves me
I will be in a dark loneliness
My dear ,I recommend you
To light a candle next to me
To delight my world out there
Then ,purify me by your chaste hands
Coffin me by your old wedding dress
With a touching melody ,recite me holy verse
It might give me everlasting peace
And say farewell to me, with your smiles
With your pink li
It’s my life; today, tomorrow and forever. Every inch of it represents me. You’ll know me if you have read every piece of it.
I have spent my life wandering so many things and these helped me to know what things are worth living. Memories may pass, just like us, people may come and go. But there are so many ways to preserve these priceless moments of time.
I grew up exploring and experience taught me to value the things I love. With these things I was inspired to keep ever

[It's time for another guest post on my blog. This time my 8-year-old daughter is the guest. She told me a funny story on the way home from school last week, and I asked her to type it out so that I could share it with all of you. I thought you might enjoy it, and even learn something important about writing. If you're a teacher, maybe you'll even try this lesson! I haven't changed a word.]
Hamburger Paragraphs and the Grade 3 Teacher
My silly teacher bought two hamburgers at Burger King on Wedne
He opened his eyes, didn’t know who he had gotten to this place. Looked around. Around him was laying empty cans of beer, everywhere were scattered pieces of chips. In the air he could fell the mixed smell of sweat and semen, which scent he recognized by that hif left hand and his penis were in it. The room wasn’t big. On the walls were hiding crucifix, which on the black background had made a feelling of fear inside Micheal head. The darkness…
The only light which felt into by a little slit betw
I had a blog post with the title ( a joke ) . this name was from a joke that i wanted to publish , I forgot to change the name .
Time flies! I remember my first oil painting class that just started from Nov. 2010, and my first piece was completed on Nov.18th, 2010. The one with many trees and a frozen river seems awkward. I felt embarrassed when looking at it each time.
Last Friday we wrapped up another piece with two birds on a flower basket. Each of us was quite happy because it seems we "gave birth to" these creatures by our brushes. No doubt, my painting skill is still not deft, but I don't feel that embarrassed anymor
You cannot give what you do not have.
You’ve loved and then you’re hurt. Now you’re fighting for your life on the hospital. Did it ever come into your mind what will happen next after you committed suicide? After life is not the end, because there’s more longer life after death; and it’s up to you on which path you would take.
You have given everything you have but it’s still not enough. Your relationship ended like that in just a snap. Yo
This extremely good story excellently explains us what does "Hope and Courage" mean ?
" We are sometimes good, sometimes bad, stop grumble and try to see good things from inside of the bad events " said Alice Herz who is 108 year old extraordinary respectable woman.
If you need courage and hope, you should look at her. Another things in her life which deeply impressed me was that mentioned her mother's strength, because her admire to beloved mother was perfectly reflecting my feelings for my dear

Dear friends,
Actually, I learned English language in the past with self-determination and self-dedication. I was really grown up in a different environment, so I practiced only my mother tongue for my routine activities. During this period, I myself collected various bits and pieces that are related to English learning, and I recently thought of sharing these things with others via internet. I know well that I am still a learner, but these stuffs would be useful to someone like me living somewhe
Ask a flower in the field: ‘Do you feel useful? After all, you do nothing but produce the same flowers over and over?’
And the flower will answer: ‘I am beautiful, and beauty is my reason for living.’
Ask the river: ‘Do you feel useful, given that all you do is to keep flowing in the same direction?’
And the river will answer: ‘I’m not trying to be useful, I’m trying to be a river.’
Don’t try to be useful. Try to be yourself: that is enough, and that makes all the difference.
