Starting a new job can be hard no matter what, and even more so when you’re in a foreign country where you might not understand the language or cultural norms. Schools obviously vary widely in terms of staff support and environment, but no matter where you are, it’s important to start your job off on the right foot. This will make things easier for everyone in the long run. By making sure you’re familiar with the nitty-gritty of your job a

COZY FROG

“At that small and enchanting fountain

rests cheerfully a chirpy frog

while smiling, singing, croaking

it says “welcome” to every door

I can feel that refreshing water

with its calm and shiny drops

greeting and reviving that tiny-little frog…”

I was just about to post this photo when I read Rosemary’s blog “Writing tips”.  She suggested that “there is no flawless text and making mistakes is a healthy sign of good learning”…..then I felt encouraged to write a few words related to my picture.

Hi All!!  I am hoping you are all doing well.  I am not much of a blogger.  I find it difficult to find a subject to write about that anyone would find interesting. That being said, I did find something that I felt was worthy and touching while watching a documentary/movie the other day.

Harry de Leyer had been raised around horses all of his life.  He was as much a part of them as they were of him.  Fighting against the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Harry, a Dutchman, along with his family

Are you trying to decide if teaching English in China is right for you? There are countless possible jobs, travel destinations, and opportunities out there. How do you know if China is the right place?

I have been back in America for over six months after teaching in China for a year. Now that I’ve had a little time back home, I can clearly see how my experiences abroad have impacted me in the long-term.

Here are

Is " Time "  the same for all the people? 

    Does it have the same meaning for you or for one who is suffering from serious cancer where there is no hope to live more than two weeks? 

    Is it the same for a little baby or for a very old man or lady?

    Is it going one with the same speed when we are full of joy or full of sorrow?

    I am sure most of us have thought that the feeling of the time can't be the same for all the people, situations and ...

    So it can be related to some different f

Hey there! 

For my die-hard fans of this series out there; here's part 8.

Enjoy.

Tomorrow is the first day of the ten days of the month of Thulhijjah. These are considered the special seasons of worship. Which Allah, The Almighty preferred over all the other days of the year.
According to hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) they reported that Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days" The people asked, "Not even Jihad for th

Be warn it may be the sad story of me

The tears, may be the memento for me

Which I am clearly seeing from your eyes

May you be wanting to hide from me?

I know I am surrounded by mirages

Again, I run after if it is love for me.

How I have left from your city dejected

This is not migration but disaster for me.

The way the dejection always comes to me

As it is madly in love with me

I will not tell anybody

You love more than your god, me

Trust me or not

 I swear

I’m worn-out,

I’m worn-out of everything,

But your words are refreshing,

Your words are pacifying,

Something is killing me,

I am defeated,

Your words are passionate,

Your words are diplomatic thrills my soul,

I’m crushed,

I’m lifeless,

I’m dreamy,

Your words are calming,

Your words are massage to my head,

I’m dead,

I’m exhausted,

I’m addicted,

Your words are healing,

Your words are drugs,

Are you just a fancy or a nightmare?

Trust me or not ?

I swear, I’m worn-out,

 I’m worn-out of everything,

It has been a while that the academic writing industry has established its presence as one of the most progressive sectors dealing with academics. However, there are contradictions in this matter as well. There are people who are of the opinion that assignment writing helpers are mostly fake, under qualified, dishonest, amateur; and so on and so forth. But this is something which isn’t entirely true. Here are the four most common misconceptions you need to dispel, right at this moment.

#Myth 1 –

A smartphone is something interesting to have.  It is so helpful in communication and learning. Most of people wish to pocess a smartphone to benefit from many different applications. As soon as the net is connected to your device, the world is at your finger tips. You may spend a few days doing good activities, learning and reading news etc. After that you are pulled in with more and more activities such as chatting, making whatsapp status and watching videos. Time flies and you spend ages gett

              Years ago, a campaign to make people aware of abandoned pets started in my country mostly on summers. Media keep on remembering us nowadays but still I wonder how a dog which is supposed to be loved can be left with such a cold blood, with no feelings or remorse.

That puppy that was once bought by a parents to please their daughter for Christmas grew up, as a result it is now an impediment for the summer holidays, for their moving to a new house, for its maintenance... w

I can't describe my whole trip, it would be an endless story.
So I am going to shorten it.

After a domestic flight from Hanoi to Da Nang in central Vietnam, we visited the Marble Mountains and took a boat tour on the Hoi An River in Hoi An. The onward journey led us further over the "cloud pass" to Hue.

We visited the cit

Modern technology has provided us with many different things, ranging from those which are helpful and educational, to those that are entertaining and/or mostly useless. The possibility of online learning definitely belongs to the better end of that spectrum. It has allowed people to build their skills, pursue their degrees, or combine their professional and academic careers, no matter where they are in the world. Also, eLearning acts as the bridge between online learners, and some of the best t

Hi Everyone!

I hope your week is as happy as the happiest butterfly. :))

Have you ever fallen asleep not at the right time?? Or how often it happens?? Last time, I fell asleep while watching a speech on YouTube. Something uncomfortable happened 'cos I had had a promise to have a call with a friend in my two hours of sleeping. LoL...

My worst experience about falling asleep was when I attended a forum with one speaker in front of the listeners. We were sitting on the floor and there was a divider de

Hiya, folks!

In this series I decided to introduce you to some English expressions and/or idioms via pictures. I know. I know. Sounds boring. But you're gonna be a big part of it! How? Okay, here's the deal:

I post a pic which plays a major part in finding the correct expression chosen for you. Based on the picture; you start guessing. For instance,

This pic is a -somewhat clear (Who knows? Maybe it's a very trendy hairdo somewhere), but I digress, it's a reference to the phrase be all ears that me

Gotcha! You thought I'm gonna say ''bacon''. Ha!

FAT CHANCE!

I know. That was anticlimactic.

This piece of writing is a continuation of my previous blog about the Wee Alien. If you haven’t read the blog yet, here’s the link.

The wee alien that I have been keeping for awhile has decided to sleep. It changed its color from green to brown which made me more curious. Notice the web that he formed to protect him. Could this be a new spider mutation? The thingy alien kept on sleeping as if it’s dead. Someone recommended me to mist it to keep t
