ESL Blogs

Hello Dear friends and moderators,

I have been away so I do not have any idea about where I can drop my speaking studies,

-in the old days there was a newscaster group.-

Anyway, I would be grateful if you could provide me with any reaction (which gives me motivation.)

Here is my speaking practice and please don't forget to look at my previous blog, Napoleon Bonaparte.

Royal Wedding Described as “Diverse” and “Inclusive”

Without a shadow of a doubt, Royal Wedding was one of t

My home is in Jakarta, it has enough space for a small family residence and is located in a township. There is a living room in house, there are two bedrooms in the house, there is a kitchen in the house and there is a closet in home.

Have you ever heard about or seen a serial with the above mentioned name? It is a show that reports about some true and fictional happenings. They provide with misterious stories of which you may make your own mind up which story to believe and which not. In the end of each sequence they provide the watcher with the truth.

Moderator for some years has been an actor named Jonathan Frakes - well known as Lt.Cmdr. William Ryker in the fiction serial star trek. Since he acted as a pretty reliable and

Hello everyone,

I have not been here for a long time, I need some time for speaking practice and improving reading and understanding skills, exactly at that point I am so much impressed by French History and its turmoil events such as from -revolution- consulate system to - Empire - finally  Republic.

Especially Bonapart's life, key to success and unfourtunately "from empire to be sent into exile", this very dramatic history pushed me trying to write an informative essay as touching on French hist

Well, for rather long I have been confused  and till now I can not make up my mind about to be fashionable and wearing make up! Honestly speaking, by this time, I heard many real stories about women, actually they all are working women who are not careful and conscious/less careful and conscious about their dress up and their look and finally they get sufferings in their personal life! Yes, I heard or some of them told me, their only focus was their better education when they were students then

Question: It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. What sort of punishment should be allowed to use to teach children?

It is the nature of humans to learn right and wrong from the environment so does a child who develops the sense of good and bad from what he sees. The force or any sort of physical punishment in inculcating him social norms and moral principles will lead him to either

Aloha EC birds!

Thanks for playing!

Here the date of the picture in my cam:

This is Also a Way of Love

I have always been questioning Allah, and it was when I was hurt, sad and in pain, “Why me?  Why it is happening to me?”  In me prays, in prostration, I called Him as if He is closed to me, and he, of course, is very close to me, but it has always been a matter of realization.  To all my prayers, and begging I received no replies, heard no words.  I got tired calling Him again and again, my raised hands fell down in fatigue and a feeling of even more unhappiness rose in

She is my beloved! How can I turn away from her.

I beg you O' listener, please announce that I love her!

there is none better than her, even like her

No matter how surpassing the beauty than her,

But no one better than her, like her.

I desire none............wish nothing, but her.

My love is not a transaction which I exchange for material profit,

I would rather wish to die deceiving her, cheating her.

What would you do if your best friend misunderstood and blame you for something that you didn't do?

I will share my experience with my best friend Shinta and Rany. They are my college mates. We used to hang

out together. The problem started when I asked in WA group that when will we have breakfasting in Bandung.

I used Shinta's name. Then they are angry because I didn't ask permission to mention their name.

It's a small problem for me but big for them. So any suggestions? I have already ask forgiven

Here is an exert from a book that I love written by Samuel Clemons otherwise known as Mark Twain.  I am going to also post the Preface here as I find it interesting.  I do so hope you enjoy I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in a book such as this......but the only way to know was to try it and see.  Thank you.  If you like it I will post more every so often......or if interested you can read it free online.  This book was published in 1876.  So they talked a bit differently than we do

SUNDAY. Day of the Sun, the first day of the week. Its English and German name are derived from Latin: "Sun's day", the name of a pagan Roman holiday. (The Sun has been always a very important deity for pagan cultures)

MONDAY. Day of the Moon, derived from "the moon's day". For the Anglo-Saxons it was a sacred day to the female deity of the moon.

TUESDAY. Tyr's day. Named for the Norse god of war, Tiu or Tyr, the son of Odin, or Woden. Romans honored their god of war, Mars, by naming the third day

Destiny? Does it even exist? I used to think destiny is an excuse for those who want to do nothing with their lives; lazy people who would blame the destiny for their failures. Now I know for sure that

destiny is like another type of energy! It knows exactly  why are you here and what is your mission on this planet. Destiny directs us and gives us hints. When we ignore those hints we stop listening to the voice inside us, we lose track of our being. We become something we are not. Being something

According to the institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Japan, when they researched Japanese genes, they found that Japanese people have evolved over several thousand years as a people who can't drink alcohol much. A specific reason has not been found yet, but it seems to be an advantage for adaptation to the Japanese environment. There is a similar evolution in Africa, where African people have red blood cells which are not easily affected by malaria. A researcher at the institute says

In your opinion.... Does love have the same point of view as in the past??

Hi there, I only lately discovered the blog option to be fun and a good option for practising my english by writing longer texts than in the chatroom. and of course there are many things to write about and to read. One might not agree with all blogs, though it was a good option to share opinions.

But the latter times more and more economic blogs are dropped and each of them in best english. Some of them contain a link to professional sites where services are offered for a more or les high salary.

          Noisy or annoying for some and pleasant meeting points for others. Like in my language, they have several names; cocktail bars, saloon, pubs, coffee bars, lounge room, sport bars... maybe it changes the sort of environment but at the end all they have a common denominator, the local where friends meet each other in order to chat while having some drink in a relaxed atmosphere.

Spain owns the most quantity of bars per person but you can realise that not only Spaniards like this habits bu

In fact it was Olga´s blog post that made me write this one. Thinking what I could share there, a book by an austrian psychologist came to mind about which I wanted to report there. It probably had went off topic so that I decided to open a new blog. here it goes:

The name of the psychologist was Paul Watzlawik. And the title is "manual to unhappiness". Paul wrote and collected some short stories of which the following makes me giggle on ocassion:
