  What comes out in your head when you read the word fruit? A lot actually right? Fruits come in different shapes, sizes, smells, and tastes. But when you say fruits, there are nutritional and health benefits that are attached to it.

  Experts say that eating fruits like pineapple, banana, apple, pomegranate, and grapes, helps decrease the bad cholesterol in our body and prevents us from acquiring diabetes. If I'm not mistaken, Diabetes is the second leading causes of death in the world. Eating r

To Lie or not to Lie.....

     The problem of lying has bothered me since I was a little girl. I was taught to tell the truth and only the truth.... Even now, after so many years, whenever I'm on the point of telling a lie, even the mildest one, I seem to feel uncomfortable.

     There are lies and lies, of course. I don't want to speak here about the problem of whether doctors should tell the truth to a patient who is about to die... No, I don't want to concentrate on such serious issues. I'd like to have a talk about li

I had a terrible manager few years back. However, I learned so many things from him that I really thank him.

 

He taught me:

 

1-Don't use your power:

If you have so much power, it does not mean that you have to use it against people. For example, if you  have power not to pay someone's salary, do not use that power. Instead, try to be humble and treat everybody with respect and dignity.

2346329486?profile=originalI'm not the only English language teacher who likes to challenge people! Many English language teachers are bloggers. They challenge each other to blog about different things. Today I read a challenge by a teacher named Adam Simpson. I added it (and revised it slightly for MyEC purposes) to the Challenge Group. Please check out the instructions for the challenge before you read my post.

After listening to many new English speakers, I have become familiar with some of the common issues that new speakers have difficulty with. One of these is the pronunciation of "-ed" endings, such as in past tense verbs. Most new speakers pronounce ALL "-ed" endings as two separate syllables, which is not always correct.

I have also been experimenting with Voicethread (http://voicethread.com  no www ) as a method of exchanging information and practicing audio. So, here is my first attempt at crea

False Promise..!

2346329652?profile=original


O world, where is your promise

Which pushes me to cross boundaries

I wish No farewell for my lovers

 

The dreams, lure me to always draw

A perfect picture all my life through

With great alacrity without being tough

 

Since I hold my feather closing my eyes

the dreams in my mind flies

and becomes only part of memories

 

World revolves like a gyre

all things appear to be a mire

one must achieve one’s aims alone

 

but how to forsake smiles which I can’t do without

no warm feeling means no life

how can we open an oys

This Evening

I went to a book fair this evening after work to find books for my best friend’s daughter. It was not crowded, in fact a bit empty not much visitor because it was late like around 7.40pm . Plus maybe because people prefer to watch football game between Indonesia and LA Galaxy where David Beckham positively played in that match. FYI, the stadium is next to the building where book fair is held. Even people in the book fair watched the match on tv :D
