ESL Blogs

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

Mmmmmm...

Greece.  

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

I have been sick since yesterday.  i got up yesterday with body ache and just walking give me pain. I can't concentrate doing my work so decided to go to clinic.

i have been watching amovie that is talking about 2 million people that have been jailed in a small cage for years , they have been put and left to die and rotten there , coz they are accused of asking for their freedom , their only crime is , trying to get in what is called life .

dreams and dreams are dying under debris , souls and souls have been froced to lose hope , eyes and eyes have been occupied by tears , hearts and hearts have been filled of depression .

I always have liked to be comfortable and have taken for granted having electricity and all the conveniences that this brings to my life. I have never given the much thought to. My home is a small house in the country and my nearest neighbor lives a half a mile down the road from where I live.

You would think that I am very isolated but thanks to an electrical power line , this is not so, because this power line allows me to have a telephone line, a tv , radio, my stereo equipment which I can lis

It is on the motivation of 'dara's" blog Rain, this blog came into being.  Thanks dara.

After a very hot day when the dark clouds come and overcast the scorching sky the thirsty sands and mud on the hot ground give its smell with the first drop of the rain.  It is like the entire surrounding is performing the ritual of ablution. I imagine myself to be on the path where there is no traffic around but the green trees on both sides of the road waving with the wind. At the distance far away, all alon

I went to Vietnam for almost three weeks in July 2018. I had never before been there. My husband, another couple, and I, we planned a guided trip from the north to the south of Vietnam. After our arrival in Hanoi, after a 12 hours flight with lots of turbulence, we met our travel guide and four other people who completed our travel group.
 

( Finally, landed in Hanoi.)

We knew the July is one of the rainy months over there. We didn't care because the rainy season has, except for the rain, benefits,

- "I wish I could manage to be glad!" the Queen said. "Only I never can remember the rule. You must be very happy, living in this wood, and being glad whenever you like!"

- "Only it is so very lonely here!" Alice said in a melancholy voice; and, at the thought of her loneliness, two large tears came rolling down her cheeks. 

- "Oh, don't go on like that!" cried the Queen, wringing her hands in despair. "Consider what a great girl you are. Consider what a long way you've come to-day. Consider what

No matter how it flourish in the depth of the loving heart, no matter how it transpires from the eyes, and shines in the blood running in the veins, and shines on the canvas of life like a beautiful picture, still it needs the words of confession coming out of your lips and moves on the frequencies of music to touch the ears of the beloved, hearing this, every time the

LET’S GO FLY A KITE!!!!

Let’s go fly a kite…..up to the highest height, up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear….”.

I was a little girl when I heard for the first time the famous song from the movie Mary Poppins (*): “Let’s go fly a kite”. I loved that song and I imagined myself cheerfully jumping and singing at the park like in the movie...well maybe not only imagining!!…..I don’t know if my father was a little tired of listening to that song in the house, but one day he bought enorm
