The Tales for Adults and Children: "Princess Mononoke"

Recently I’ve seen the anime “Princess Mononoke” by Hayao Miyazaki. This film is the masterpiece among similar anime. The main characters are the Prince Ashitaka and Princess Mononoke (her name stands for «vengeful spirit»). Princess Mononoke was brought up by Moro, the Lord of Wolves, because people left her in the forest as sacrifice for wolves.

The plot of this anime is very… Continue

is it essential to learn a second language?

now, i'm confused about whether it good or not learning a foreign language, even if i'm a learner now. In my opinion if people are not going to immigrate in a foreign country, they can not master the language very well. so it is just time-wasting in some sense for learning a second language. but some others will say it is a communication tools for study and job, yes, i agree with it. however, if people use the second language in their own country as a working tool, maybe it is hard to make a… Continue

Bird

Free bird

I'm a free bird

He said to me

I won't be caught

And put in cage

I want to be free

If I am jailed

my heart and mind

Are lost with me

I have my dream

So nice to feel

I'll make it real

I'd like to stay

Kept in your arms

To share your love

And taste its goods

Your lovely mood

To be kissed and hold

But I love to fly

To… Continue

A Word or two about Idioms

Hiya, everybody !

I recently contributed two websites with lots of information about Idioms, I hope you will find them useful.

I thought I would help you with a little information about Idioms.

First, a definition: a phrase or expression that is (usually) not taken literally. For example, "Don't let the cat out of the bag" means to not tell something one knows, to keep silent.

Second, a nice analogy: An idiom is a "word - package" with a… Continue

Because I'm a Sister of My Teenage Brother

Dealing with a teenage son or a daughter is probably the worst nightmare of every parent. Boys at that age are no less fragile than the girls are. And it’s the duty of the parents to make sure that they are not going astray while trying to disentangle the newly faced complications and emotions of life- ecstasy, envy, embarrassment, anger, love, sensation, agony, ambition and what not. Why these happen? I guess we all know but sometimes we wish… Continue

vague

I went upon the pool to see perhaps the picture of own loneliness in the water .no water on the pool ,the fishes were telling that the trees aren't guilty at all,that was the hot noon in the summer.the bright son of the sun sat on the lip,and the eagle of sun came and took him to the air .
if you see GOD in the throb of the garden ,tell him that the fishes' pool is without water.
the wind was going to sycamore, and i was going to GOD .

caree

Everything will become difficult if you have never embarked on it. This topic was given to me 20 days ago, but until now I have really began to write it, although during of that period several time I wrote the draft and no times I tried my best to finish. Lazy, subjective, moreover I always cling to the thought that I still have a lot of time, no need to rush. Maybe, that is called “diseases”.

The end of month is the deadline, how can I write and what I should talk about, my job? It’s… Continue

Sorry, can captivate people..

WHY do I always have second thoughts when it comes to saying "I'm sorry"? !!

That's just NONSENSE because whenever these two words come out of my mouth, I got a feeling that people in front of me are speechless with delight. Saying sorry makes me feel that I can captivate people. I'm really amazed at the power of these two words. I 'm fully aware that saying sorry is the only sure fire way to come out from the walls we built around… Continue

Michael had a happy family with a wife who loved him very much and 2 lovely children. But like another men he had a desire to success in his job. He spent all… Continue
