ESL Blogs

When you move to China as an English teacher, it’s easy to get swept up in the culture (and you should)! Studying the language, finding the best parties in your new city, receiving affordable massages, eating dumplings, eating hot pot, eating fresh cucumber … Wait, what was I talking about again?

These are all aspects of living in China that I looked forward to before moving there. However, I quickly realized that all that studying, partying, and binge eating was starting to make me feel a little

Hey learners, 

So I was reading an article and found this little trick might help you as well when you have to write spelling and there is no way to check ( as in most of English exams).

I am posting it here as it is on source site:

I/E Rule

Write I before E

Except after C

Or when it sounds like an A

As in "neighbor" and "weigh"

i before e: relief, believe, niece, chief, sieve, frieze, field, yield

e before i: receive, deceive, ceiling, conceit, vein, sleigh, freight, eight

Exceptions

seize, either, weird,

Hello my friends...

as the end of this year is almost around the corner and some of us analyze their achievements and failures... I just got an idea and I hope you will like it and enjoy it here with me :) 

Sooo.... Let's leave the comments here in this blog with the wishes we either expect from upcoming year or we would like to achieve... ehmmm..some call them resolutions but it doesn't have to be only about changing yourself, ok?

Wouldn't it be cool to check this blog in one year and compare, if

I used to run away and hide. It didn't matter where I hide, you would always find me sooner than what I've expected. Why did I run? I was just scared. Why was I scared? People scared me, bonds scared me. They still do.
You found me every time and one day you hugged me and told me to never hide again, that I could find shelter in your arms.
But sometimes I would grew scared and run away. Not so far away, so you could find me and hold me tight in you arms, and whisper that everything was Ok, that

This is on an inspiration:

With my eyes full of hope and my heart full of love

I’m waiting for you.

Till my last breath and crack of my voice

I’m waiting for you.

I give the beat of my heart to wind and voice to the breeze

To take my message to you.

O waiting crow of my death, eat all my flash but eyes

Where there is hope and the waiting of my love

As they are looking for my beloved

Till the end of my breath.

Here in my country some people are trying to travel to exotic countries. Because those countries attract them with lots of the interesting, unknown or unexpected things. People dream about those countries and think that it is a paradise to live there.

But often they get disappointed because of their zeal to get everything at the same time. They are eager to try, taste and experience everything new. Sometimes it is really useful, sometimes it is interesting and joyful, but sometimes it is even dan

There's a bunch of people you wanna throw a punch at: Those who say ''literally'' every five damn seconds.

''I literally saw her in the 99 Cents Store. What do ya think is wrong with her?"

"She literally can drink a shake in two slurps."

"If he says I'm fat again, I'll literally slap him.''

Ya wanna know what I'd tell 'em? ''Why don't cha literally eat $#%7 an' die?''

P.S. Onee, new material. There, happy now?

Aloha there.

Here I come with my last blog... The last of this year, at least.
As every year, I'm always curious about which words are considered the most popular ones, taking in mind some events of the year. So, there it goes:

Oxford Word of the Year (2017)

Youthquake.
"A significant cultural, political, or social change arising from the actions or influence of young people".

A very silly word for what it could be something cool... but that is usually reduced to do an idiotic viral challenge.

Dictio

peepers

choppers

ticker

twins

paws

guts

buns

dogs

Kept it PG-13, folks. 

I know you know, but do you know I didn't use to know I don't know, ya know?

=/ 

A. I may not come to work tomorrow.

B. Understood. I may not sign your bonus check.

A. Oh, okay.

B. That's what I thought.

Sheila's baby is cute as a button. I just wanna eat 'im up.

If Ian just keeps pushing my buttons, I'll Grrrrr... [a torrent of profanity ensues]

Button it, Vinny. No one cares 'bout what ya think.

Violet's got luscious hair, a button nose and an A4 waist. But she can't stand the poor. They weird 'er out. I guess ya can say she's the real deal. Very beautiful... on the outside.

Joe's bright as a button. He'll figure it out.

I used to collect buttons. Then I grew up and realized I've gotta choose a sha

I have lost myself on way of loving you
I have missed myself for loving you too much
My soul has disengaged from my body, only because of searching you

Hey there, 

Let's learn two more words before the year ends. 

Exotic: Adjective: Something is exotic because it is attractive due to being out of ordinary or colorful. Like these are exotic birds.. 

Zeal: Noun: Great energy or enthusiasm for something. 

Example: I can only blame the zeal for travelling for my low savings but I feel it is worth for the life saving vivid memories than money. 

Happy learning and 

Have a happy new year!!

Once Bux noticed that his daughter Sonny needs the new shoes.

He discussed it with Kuzyasha and they decided to buy the sneakers for little Sonny.

Kuzyasha wanted Sonny to go with them, to try the sneakers on. To see if the sneakers fit her in size. But Sonya was too lazy. That's why Sonya said that she feels bad and refused to go with parents.

Later in the sneakers store.

Kuzyasha was so excited to see that modern sneaker, that she didn't even think about it's size:)

Bux tried to knock to Kuzyasha's
