You'll be surprised but we are celebrating the coming of the new year again. In Ukraine this holiday is called Old New Year.

 Today we're having a holiday which is called Malanka. 

 On that evening Ukrainians  have a very important meal which is called "rich supper". We cook TWELVE traditional Ukrainian dishes, but the main dish on the festive table iskutia, a kind of porridge  from whole-wheat kernels, poppy seeds, nuts, and honey, a custom what dated to ancient times.

For the New Year and Christ

Thanks to all for reading my post, I appreciate your concern and good wills about rejecting racism and any discriminatory action in the 1997 chatroom of Englishclub.com site.

I think that I wont insist more on this topic, many of you advised to report the members performing these bad actions, but how; these peeps aren't members of Englishclub or if they are use a nickname impossible to track. The 1997 chatroom besides inmoderated doesn't have any protection of the nicknames, chatters are complete

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The driver says: "Ugh, that's the ugliest baby I've ever seen".The woman walks to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me." The man says: "You go up there and tell him off. Go on, I'll hold your monkey for you."

This time four years ago, several people in my life were telling me my best friend, my partner, my horse Emma would never be ridden again. Every professional from trainers, to vets and specialists told me Emma was never going to be a show horse. Absolutely out of the question. It was also very unli

Thanks a lot to the chatters that are against any form of discrimination, it is not about me, I can deal with it, it is about an Universal matter of concern in which all of us are involved, it is not so simple as saying : "if you don´t like it don't talk to those chatters or don't go to that chat room". Persons would not use this site to share racism because it's not legitimate, think about it. Somebody should do something about it. Maybe there is any person responsible of this site who can stop

I am denouncing through this site the racism existing in the 1997 chatroom of Englishclub, I can't understand how the owner permit these things. I have been there for  a while and behold racism, religion intolerance and many other bad things. they have called me "Nigerian" thinking I would be molested but in fact I am not, they call me black ignorant and also made a imaginary picture of a Nigerian with flies all over his body, they say Nigerians are scamers and fraud couterfaits, you can go and

I had a bad day and so I called for help from my best friends here in India. 

I think it’s interesting to exchange opinions, reflexions and thoughts with people 
from different countries, languages and experiences. 

I wrote about that day. Siddharth (a young Indian guy, very nice and very clever. 
He is interested in discovering the world and learning from each moment of life) 
and Paul (an Australian guy, young is not the word but I can say very active, who 
has been living in India since March 2010,

Learning English has been like a habit to me, on and off depending upon my mood. By god's grace I have not had to strive much hard to grasp to the common tongue and I have always felt natural expressing my self. Live conversation are the most exciting for me which really fills my heart with thrill and glee, feels like its flowing through me.

Writing longer narratives are a problem for me, because I find it hard to concentrate long enough to constitute a logical and time worthy comprehension. It a

. A long time A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree

A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday

He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow

He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by the little boy had grown up,

And he no longer played around the tree every day.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad.

\"Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.

\"I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees anymore\"
The boy

Can YOU think of any more?

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I ha

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best convers
