it's not the same...

Today, one of my friends feeling sad, I don't know exactly the reason why she down, she don't say anything, just sitting and thinking...I felt worry about her but I didn't know what to do, I really don't know... I looked at her, tried to find out what was she thinking. After awhile, I turned on CD player to listen some music, It's a song name: Cry on my shoulder. When she heard this song, "I wish I had a shoulder to cry on" she said in tears...I known what the problem is, so I came and said, "he

Every year at this time, I have very unique feelings because the Iranian New Year is coming.

Moreover, people do not want the sun set so the festival begin from the evening until midnight o

Work, Marriage, Duties, etc.

Do lots of women work in your country? Are they able to get a good education, and thus a good professional job? If they work, do men/husbands share the work at home?In the USA now, over 50% of women work outside the home. Men in this generation help at home; for instance, my son-in-law is an excellent cook. I have even told him to think about starting a restaurant! Woo! Woo! I would go there all the time.And here in the USA, men help taking care of the children, but they don't do much ofthe clea

This blog is not directly related to English, but it requires reading and perhaps commenting in English.Technology is wonderful and gives us many conveniences. But does the use of these modern conveniences require some responsibility in using them? A big issue in the USA is the use of cell phones while driving. As the risk of automobile accidents rises with the use of cell phones the debate has arisen as well as to whether we should be using cell phones while driving. People have very strong fee

The smell of sweat and blood woke me up. The blazing heat and the dry summer, is this what has left to life now? I love summers unless I have to walk in the sun. The particular nerve of mine never takes the heat otherwise. So, I never come out of my room till the sun is out there. The near by lake has shrunk to an inconsequential body of water. I had dropped down a lot of paper boats in it; I hope that is not the reason.When the sun shines on the white-washed walls of my college, it becomes a to

Game 2: Don't Say "Yes" or "No"

yes

In this game I will start by asking a yes/no question about your country. The first person to read it will answer the question in the comment section. The trick to this game is that you CANNOT use the words "yes" OR "no" in your answer. After answering the question, write a yes/no question (not a "wh" question) using "in your country" for the next person. (In your answer don't forget to tell us what your country is.)

no

Example:Q: Do people celebrate Mother's Day in your country?----------------A: M

My country have a beautiful song, and there's a part of lyric:If I were a bird, I would be a white pigeon. If I were flower, I would be a sunflower.

The Metro

A short story by Josef Essberger The discovery of a body in the Paris Metro early one morning was not particularly unusual. That it was headless sent a frisson through the sixth arrondissement, but the incident went unnoticed outside Paris. Yet there was clearly something strange about the case. It was hardly as though the body had been decapitated to frustrate identification, for it was fully clothed and none of the owner's personal effects had been removed, save of course for his head. The Par

The largest doll is the grandmother with future generations of dolls tucked inside her. This symbolizes the hope and value of life and the family; the hear
