One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route.No problems for the first few stops, a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground.He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.The driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek... Naturally, he didn't argue wi

The interview with cat.



The interview with the cat.


When I think back to the time when I met her. I think I wasn't surprised. Normally u should be surprised, when you meet a talking cat and even more, when you find out that it was human before. But I wasn't. Maybe it was because we were communicating in English that isn't our native language, for neither of us.In the interview day, when I arrived to the office of pet society. She was already waiting for me. Unlucky me, I was 10 minutes late. I hoped she won't notice, bu

Once upon a time (not too long ago) I was pretty sure my future was in teaching English. But after more than 16 years of active learning (in school and with my "private" tutor of 15 years) I switched English for science. I did some tutoring of my own for a couple of years, but then the science studies kidnapped all of my free time.Recently, thanks to the infamous recession, I've returned to tutoring a couple of neighbourhood kids and rediscovered the joys of TESL. After almost 10 years of workin

What is the most challenging thing for you to teach English?The most challenging thing for me to teach English is how to change individual who is unable to communicate in English into the one who is able to write, listen, write, or read English, at least they can share what he/she feels or think in English.3.

Happy Morning Happy Day!

Happiness is difficult to define and even harder to measure.

As a relative state, happiness is what psychologists call our subjective well-being and, fortunately for us, it is a state that we can actively change for the better. Here are 20 ways to start.

Everyone longs for happiness, but few possess it. The pursuit of it is un
