Dear friends, 

Here are some english words that gave me troubles when i first decided to learn this language.. I am so glad i found those online and that i can, now, share them with you.
I hope this post will help you.

All and ever

All and every can both be used to talk about people or things in general. There is little difference of meaning. Note that these two words are used in different structures.
Every is used with singular countable nouns. To give the same meaning, all is used with plural

Tips for speaking English

I have noticed that all of us would love to improve his/her English skills including speaking. As a result, I collected tips from here and there to help you speak and practise good English:

1-Read in English whatever you come across (books, articles...)

2-Watch English movies and listen to English songs and news.

3-Try to read aloud a lot to hear the way speak or you can record your own voice and listen to it afterwards so that you know your mistakes and work to get red of them.

4-Think in English.T

Moon and Sun

Moon and Sun


You are as sun and moon
They will never be together
Is this happening to me only?
Everyday we call ourselves
to not to forget the love we feel each other
How can we continue with this?
You are as real as the stars,
At the same time you are a dream
A dream which I want to keep in my mind everyday
I want to continue with this love fighting against the distance
Yes, we live in different worlds
We will live as sun and moon
But we will always be as loyal as they are

Hello everyone ^^

I’ve been working for one week. There are so many things for me to learn and to work. Working here, I now definitely know that how I am lucky. After graduating, I didn’t feel so much confident about myself. I read newspaper to look for the vacancy announcement; I registered some websites which help people to find a job… Many jobs I’m really interested in. However, some of them require good appearance, I don’t have it. Others require experience. I don’t have any experience. For

Our Senses

There lives a deaf man in our village. Once upon a time he was not deaf. So he had learnt to speak before he became deaf. He can now speak quite well. Unfortunately people around him think he pretends being deaf. Whenever you are talking, he will keep watch of your lips' movements and frame out the story you are telling quite satisfactorily. He will go about telling that story and this has earned him the name of "best-deaf -lier" in the village. And till today people have not given him the prese

I found this list on www.world-english.org  i thought that it could interest some members here. All the words aren't new for me, but I had never heard those like "alacrity, arcane, brazen, demure"... 

I was surprised to see that some French words as "avarice" and "brusque" are also used in english with the same meaning and that many other have french roots. Amazing !!!

My second visit to Singapore

My second visit to Singapore was Jun 9.  Reason was my daughter was infanticipating and she needed me to help around the house. I was excited to go and to see again the country I admired so much for its efficiency and cleanliness.

When I stepped down from the airplane, I knew I was out of my country.   From the airport, Singapore was so different.  Since I landed an hour after lunch, so, my children headed to a fast food restaurant - Burger King.  I was famished because I woke up early due to exc

      I love basketball very much. I play basketball for two times every week and enjoy it a lot. After the NBA final finished, there were no basketball games to watch.

 1. Change
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.”

2. Control.
