Haftseen  or the seven 'S's is a traditional table setting of Nowruz, the traditional Iranian spring celebration. Today the haft seen table includes seven specific items, all starting with the seen (Sā) in the Persian alphabet.

Information is power

Good day to all members of MyEnglishClub.

 

It's really amazing how the information in different fields of communication, science, and other fields of learning helps us in our daily activities. For example, watching news and current events help us aware on what's happening in our surroundings. It makes us informed and broaden our knowledge that we can use for our decisions in life. Like if we see news on television, one common example is the recent quake and tsunami in Sendai, Japan. From what hap

This article is dedicated for my friend. Recently I shared a simple trick to check whether our writing was grammatically correct or not. I suggested that she could try a free grammar checker, but she has difficulty trying it. Well, I think it will be a good idea for the others to try this free service too. I know that it's not perfect, but at least it can help us improve our grammar. And I hope my explanation will help you, guys.

When looking at the title, please do not think that I am a girl of science. It was just because the teacher required me to read some articles from the book "Topic for Today" and make a critical response to hand in next week. Anyway, a essay named "Who lives longer" somewhat interested me, so I decided to write a summary in order to have a short review on the article before going to bed and share with you some "tactics to increase life expectancy".   According to what I have learnt in Biology and

What is the first conditional?

 

The first conditional is a structure used for talking about possibilities in the present or in the future. 

 

Conditional type 1 sentences refer to the future. An action in the future will only happen if a certain condition is fulfilled by that time. We don't know for sure whether the condition actually will be fulfilled or not, but condition seems rather realistic - so we think it is likely to happen.    

 

Type 1 conditional = if + present + future

long for you(poem I made)

poem I made

 

I stayed all my long night

looking for any light

but I can't see ,,because you aren't here with me

I have nothing to do

just loving you

I'm so bleak..so weak...without you

I become more sensitive than before

the strong woman is no more

just looking around

seeing your face ups and down

hearing your voice every where

searching for you,but you aren't there

I returned back to my bed

you still here in my head

I feel you on my lips

through darkness time slips

you breath on my neck

my heart a torn wreck

I he

"Karakat" - a weird snowmobile.

The name "Karakat" comes from Russian. I don't know what this word "Karakat" means in Russian, or why it's called that, but this is how the fishermen from the "Peipsi" lake call this vehicle. Although it does have a proper Estonian name too - "Kummij(y)uku". It seems like the Russian name "Karakat" is adapted also to Estonian language lately.

I've heard, that there's a fish, that have similar name "karakat" ..or "karakatitsa" or something like this in Russian. And the Karakat is named after that
