Spring in the North

Today was a great day! It finally has become warm once again after a very long winter.I have seen several birds that have returned after flying south for the winter.

My favorite moment

My favorite moment is when I sit on a chair with a book and a cup of coffee.(About 1 hour later, I am so abosorbed in reading it that I find the coffe is already cold.)These days I read novels when I have enough time.But I don't know what novel is good or who the best writer is, so in a book store, I always take a look at information about best sellers and try reading them.Then I've found that reading lets me forget something that always makes me depressed.So I make it a rule to have time for re

Could we improve our speaking skills just by writing? I think so. Let's write a dialogue/dialog to see if it works - it can be called a speaking challenge.

A dialog is just a conversation between two or more people. Here, we just try to write down what people may actually say in a conversation.

·between student and teacher, shopper and shop assistant, woman and man, patient and doctor, A and B, and so on. You just imagine a si

News stations have to fill a certain number of minutes with news, and they know that "no news is good news" so they have to fill those minutes with BAD news. And they do it with apl

An earth we will never see

I was wondering the other day....If man disappears from earth for any reasons, what will happen to our watery planet?Among all the creatures that are living on earth we ( humans ) have the most effect on her, you can trace us almost anywhere from deep in the ocean to up in the sky and even in outer space.And we hurt her any way we can. To know what we have done to her we must imagine a world in which we do not live on earth anymore. What will happen to roads we have made, cities we have construc
