ESL Blogs

I love poetry and I write poems too. I recently wrote a blog about how I perceive motherhood. I think being a mother is a remarkable task. Kudos to all mothers.

Poem for Mother's Day is the title of my blog.

Just a draft. Thank you people in the chatroom who answered my survey. This will be posted on my blog once completed.

Usually, when one says "English as a Second Language," he pertains to the functionality of English; therefore studying grammar and syntax. I would like to think of "English as a Second Language" as a cultural instrument.

Have you seen the beautiful welcome messages that some members of our Welcoming Committee have created? These members create their own images and text to place on the walls of new members.  Ali inspired many members to do this. These messages sometimes include useful links.

What kind of food accompanies you while you're online? This is my first question to you and myself. I tell you, one of the favorite foods that commonly accompanies me when I am online ... is shrimp vegetable fritter (bakwan udang). I'm able to digest more than ten pieces, the reason why I got fat now (haha ..). Fried food is very simple and can easily be cooked (visit this link : recipe shrimp vegetable fritter).  

In Indonesia, generally this cuisine is served during rest time, while watching T

Dear Readers,

It is a wonderful feeling  being  loved and cherished and of course made to feel special on a paticlar  day , to all moms  in general.

 

Of course reading  a few extracts here and  there on  other links ,  there are children  who cannot lovingly remember their moms

I felt sad reading these comments  , articles of difficult moms, who  never shared their  love to the kids  they bore. It is sad in todays  fast moving world with all IT at  the tip of  our  fingers , not being able to give the warmth ,

what Hurts the most is seeing others misery but you can't help ,knowing that they deserve better life & better chances but you can't help , sometimes u feel that this is unfair but none knew what the future holds , After a hurricane comes a rainbow so ISA everything is gonna be right , one who has faith , has everything so lets have some hope & Faith & try Keep Smiling.

But if we only dream and do nothing to make it possible, it is totally useless.  We, ourselves creating our future..

It is true that we have to teach our children how to get their wants and not to hand it to them.  In other words, teach them how to catch a fish and not give them a fish that is ready to eat! If not, your children will become lazy and dependent.  Some people who've grown up with a better living, become not interested on their studies or work by themselves because even they don't work still they can have their needs and wants... from their parents.  Make them realize, having a good life requires

I saw it on Ted.com this video, I saw Oksana has Ted's link also, then, here's someone who likes this one: The danger of a single story. Good English, clear voice, beautiful explanation and a remind for all of us to check our ideas from time to time (I know, you don't need it but, what happen with the rest of us?)
