Recently the inside of my mouth was injured, so I couldn't eat food for three days. It was three hard days because I had never experienced not eating for three days ever. Now that the inside of my mouth has gotten well, I can eat food. When I ate food after three days of not eating anything , I was deeply struck how important eating is. Now I knew the importance of eating again.
There are many people around the world who can't eat food. I can do little for them but I think what I can do is to ma

All English learners would like to speak English well. They are excited at the idea of being able to communicate in English fluently. However, they usually don’t care about the learning process itself. For most learners, learning English is a duty — something that they have to, but don’t want to do. They don’t see pleasure in learning English.
In short, most learners would like to speak English well but don’t like to be learning English. This is the first and biggest problem facing an English l
Some healing for woman bullied as a teen
A woman who was bullied mercilessly in high school 25 years ago has gotten some closure from a class reunion page on Facebook.
Lynda Frederick, a graduate of Orange Glen High in Escondido, Calif., in 1987, posted a heartbreaking poem about her experience on her school's 25th class reunion page.
Excerpts:
that little girl who came to school with the clothes she wore the day before

Story About My Painting - The Old Lady In The Old Tower House In Old Sana'a
This is a story about a Yemeni lady. Perhaps sometimes, something is not as how we thought.There was a time when I was staying in Sana'a, Yemen. It is a historical city housed by heritage buildings. It is a tower house where I spent my stay at the 6th floor. It is an old building, perhaps more than 400 years. The only way to climb up is by stairs. Down and up every time by stairs. No elevator as how modern towers are. It
Yemen is one of the most interesting countries that deserve being visited due to many reasons. To begin with the location it has is regarded as the most important one as it controls the most important route that joins the two hemispheres of the world together , the east and the west. Moreover , the wonderful and moderate weather is also a main factor that contributes to the popularity of the country. More clearly, it’s easy for every one of different parts of the world to live in Yemen ,i.e,
Do you like dancing? I simply adore it, but now in our busy life I don't have enough time to do it regularly. And dancing is very useful for our health. First of all, it's a good physical exercise. Secondly, it reduces stress and increases serotonin level, with its sense of well-being. The most recent research shows another benefit: frequent dancing apparently makes us smarter. Dancing increases cognitive acuity at all ages.
"Socrates learned to dance when he was 70, because he felt an essentia
What do you expect a convenience store can do for you in our daily life?
Selling newspaper, beverage or other groceries? No, that’s not enough. Owing to the highest density of convenience stores, we have more than 9,000 this kind of stores in a population of 23 million. In other words, the high competition between them makes the business tricky, so they usually try to enlarge their services as possible as they can for their bread and butter. In terms of customers, that’s not a bad news.

Does this sound familiar? Yes, that song was one of the popular songs of THE BEATLES. Located in Liverpool, England this English Rock band appeared in 1960. I was not yet born on that year but I'm pretty sure they are acclaimed to be the very successful band in the history of music. Their songs are still playing on the radio station here, there and everywhere. As they say, "it's an oldie but goodies". Those who were
I just found an interesting infographic made by Copyblogger, one of my favorite blogs out there that teaches many useful tips to write good blog posts. This infographic talks about 15 most common grammar mistakes that if we do that, it will make us look silly. Since Copyblogger is written not for people who just start to learn English, I assume that these mistakes are common even among native English writers.
Honestly, I found some words that are listed there sometimes confusing for me like the
The Real Murphy
Major Edward A. Murphy, Jr. (1918 - 1990) was an American aerospace engineer who worked on safety-critical systems and is best-known for Murphy's Law which states that "If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then somebody will do it that way". This is not to be confused with Finagle's law.

The man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how you are my hero" The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket

I was trying to write a blog to fulfill my promise to Anele about writing on the best way to stay healthy when suddenly Jihan jumped on my back and her hands choked my neck : “Where is my Dora?” she yelled.
“How should I know?” I replied.
“Where is my Doraaaaaaaaaa?” she sceamed again.
“I don nooooo.” I shouted.
Then I smelt something bad. “You fart?”
“No,” she said.
“You poop?”
“Nooooooooooo,” she denied but her eyes couldn’t tell a lie.
I stood up to take her to the washroom, but she ran away like
Today I am handing my blog over to a long-term member of MyEC. This guest post is for #ELTChat's May Blog Challenge. #ELTChat is a twitter group for English language teachers.
