I am a passionate non- native English teacher from Poland. Teaching is a crucial part of my life. With that understanding, I am a lifelong learner.
I am applying a blended learning/ training and flipped classroom method.

Some people feel IELTS simple and easy and at the same time some people opine that the PTE Academic is easier test than IELTS.

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.

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.
