~ Chpt 18 : Empathy ~

Empathy, which literally translates as in feeling, is the capability to share another being's emotions and feelings.

I have been thinking about it recently.

There's time when we say something without thinking..and realise its a bad thing to say then its too late for you to take back..


i hate it when that happen..

Anybody want a book aloud?

Hello. I'm a reader. Since I was young I've been reading books. Most of them was a pleasure to read. I´m looking for books while I'm studying this language, and I've found some great places. The proposal of this post is one of that. There you can find a variety of books but aloud. All of them for free of course.
And all are downloadable as mp3. Take a look at this site if you are interested.

Enjoy!

When we write or speak English, we may make all kinds of mistakes - spelling, grammar, or collocation. But we can learn from our mistakes. Then, how do we learn from them? My answers are as follows:

 

1. Reread what you wrote or recall what you said for possible mistakes. Be aware that you may have used some words or expressions incorrectly or inappropriately. We make mistakes even when we write a simple sentence or speak an easy word. English can be so tricky. It's not a breeze for learners to ch

what is love?

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails. —I Corinthians"
this poetry gives a good description of a real life, this qualities are
what people all over the world with different cultures and background
are looking for,

True love never dies.

True Love

True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.

Work hard in 2010

In 2010, I think I will get busier and busier. There are so many things I need to do, especially for work. I have to work harder and harder.

Things are always changing in our life, but the one thing we can do is to face it and then find the best way to figure it out.

Life tells us many things, in particular, when you were into troubles, so we don't need to ask what the meaning of life is. It's just a special experience.

Come on, Linda!

When we travel, the first thing that we do is to look through the city brochure and find the museums. Have you ever thought why people visit museums? There are different reasons why people come to museums. In my view, not only they provide a rich source of data but also they are timesaving, perceivable and uplifting.

First of all, you gain comprehensive information and preserve the short time. Tourists usually have limited time to visit all sightseeing. And, since artefacts have been collected in
