    bestwriter wrote a new post, There is Nothing like Having Full Mastery Over English 7 years, 12 months ago

    Be it those who have English as their first language or those who have had a good exposure to English it is the same story. It is the constant exposure to this English is the only way this language can be […]

    • I really wanted to be in mastery of English. I have been taught and learned this language since I was in grade 2 or 3 during my elementary days until I was in college days. Until know that I’m 42 years old I find I’m not yet master or shall I say still a newbie in English. My grammar is not good but I am really trying to have a good communication skills in English, I just hope I can make it even here in writing.

      • You need to be exposed to opportunities, opportunities that let you be in touch with those who speak and write good English. Finally it is the exposure that matters.

    • English is the language of modern age because the source of earning in country and out of country rests on spoken and written English. To be master of English on not difficult but you must be full of conceptions.
      First of all we write just conception, thoughts, feelings and emotions and nothing else.

      There are three things that are must to be the mater of English micro skills as reading and writing skill, listening and speaking skill. To be the master of English you must know three things fully, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation pattern.

      Grammar structure tells you how to construct ideas in an organized way, pronunciation will help you in spoken language and vocabulary will help you to express your ideas. Besides, idioms and phrasal verbs are most important to be the master of English.

      The best grammar AJ Thomson and Martinet written, Name Practical English Grammar, Pronunciation pattern is defined in the best way in Advanced Learner Dictionary by AS Horn By, for vocabulary building Chambers Dictionary is the best because you can find all worlds in it old and new.

      I will write a full article very soon how to be the master of English micro skills for my readers’ guideline.

    • There is no logic that can help one master the language. It is only the constant use and exposure can help grasp the language.

    • I have never heard of breadfruit. Is that a British fruit? Yes, American English is so different from the English of those from Britain or even Austrailia. We have certain words here in America that mean something different in England and vice versa.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Every Drop Counts – Save Water 7 years, 12 months ago

    There is no shortage of water in our household. We have a well that provides enough liquid the whole year through. But I cannot see water being wasted. Our helpers do that and that gets on my nerves. And these […]

    • You say right that every drop of water makes seas and river, canal and lake but a few know its importance at home an out of homes. It is said that drops make seas and rivers.

      Many people are unaware of the amount of water they waste on a daily basis. But the truth is, water is a critical resource in every
      bodies lives, and unfortunately, we simply cannot afford to waste perfectly good water.

      How to save water at home:

      Replace shower heads, toilets and sinks with more efficient, low-flow water models. Using a water efficient shower head can save up to 750 gallons a month.
      Always wash only full loads of laundry and dishes. Whenever possible, choose the short cycle at low water levels.
      Do not let the water run when brushing your teeth or washing dishes by hand.
      Shorten your showers by about a minute or so, and you can save up to 150 gallons per month.
      Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator for cold drinks instead of using the tap. This way excess drops are not wasted down the drain each time you pour a glass of water.
      Ditch bottled water, and drink the tap water. Most tap water is no different than bottled water, and this reduces the waste that the would end up in a landfill from the plastic.
      Water your lawn and garden in the evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation.
      Repair leaks! According to the Department of Health and Human Services, a leaky faucet that drips at one drop per second wastes up to seven gallons of water per day.
      Make use of leftover water. Keep a pitcher of water near your sink or shower and use the unused water from showering or drinking to water house plants.
      Harvest rainwater to use to for a variety of reasons. Place barrels outside to catch the excess rainwater, and use that water to water the lawn or garden.

      • Right when I designed my home I had laid channels to wast water to lead to trees. It is the individuals that make or break anything on earth and saving water comes under that.

    • We are not living in urban area but we can still feel the shortage of water every summer. From the month May the water in the deep well started the shortage. Even though we are living in rural areas but the water become so short during summer days. We are not depending on water system but even the houses depending in water system experienced the shortage last season.

      That is true, conserving water is one of the best answer to avoid this problem.

    • Good topic and an interesting one at that. Wasting water is a cruel thing to do in this world of scarce resources and is an attitude of careless individuals. We sometimes feel like let go when we see our taps just dropping water without knowing that a little drops of water make mighty ocean. We should realise that there are places where water is more like gold and very expensive as a result not waste it. We should know that is a gift from the most high God to humanity and wasting it is a way of not appreciating the gift from God.

      • It is not at all difficult to save water if individuals become responsible citizens. It is not just water anywhere and everywhere with a bit of thought this world could be a great place to live but sadly man seems to be a selfish animal

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Holland a Place with History 7 years, 12 months ago

    As a part of our Europe tour we were taken to Holland. We covered Amsterdam and Rotterdam but we just missed the tulips in Amsterdam. Who can forget the song Tulips from Amsterdam

    We had a look of Amsterdam  by […]

    • Holland is one the best heaven for the tourists as I have read in many books but unluckily I have not seen Amsterdam with my physical eyes many time I have seen Amsterdam with my spiritual eyes in dreams and pic.

      Amsterdam has very old links with the United States. In 1780, John Adams opened the first American embassy in the world in Amsterdam. However, the first contacts with Amsterdam were actually much older. In 1609, Henry Hudson left Amsterdam’s Schreierstoren in his ship De Halve Maen. After a long journey, he reached the island of Manhattan where he founded Nieuw Amsterdam, which later became New York City.

      The beer traders from Hamburg may well have been the first foreigners in the fledgling city of Amsterdam. Since 1600, Amsterdam has been a favourite tourist destination for German visitors, which becomes apparent from many travel journals. German visitors are still ranked at an honourable third place on the Amsterdam Tourist Barometer.

      • The ‘red light’ area is open unlike how it is hidden here in India. Thanks for providing all the historical stories about Holland.

    • I don’t know much about Holland except that a friend, one of my former co-workers, went there on vacation and she said that the tulips were a big deal! 🙂

    • Tulips are a big deal there but as I have said in my post I missed the season. I was so hoping to swim in there 😀

    • That’s a wonderful passion you have, photography. And yes, only a few have that kind of skills.
      I tried taking pictures many times with my phone but I am not satisfied with the outcome. I cannot say there is wrong of my camera because when my sister uses it, she got some good pictures. So, I must say, it’s not a passion of mine. Maybe I am just a lover of nature that I want to take some souvenirs of them through photos but I cannot do proper photography. 🙂

    • jhsayyar..well done. We cant forget good days when we all had our lunch and dinner together.Now modern inventions,especially computer and mobile, have changed everything.How strange that even small kids have their own mobile sets.They receive messages and calls. They play games and use net.This tendency has spoiled their habits.They even dont hesitate to use their mobiles during lunch and dinner.This tendency must be curbed by parents.

      • Just a small correction. This post is written by me – bestwriter 🙂

        Those days of praying together, eating together and even sitting together is history now.

    • Yes, you say write that pray together and stay together for ever, I think we all human beings are thankless to God when we talk about staying together we pray and we eat and drink we do not pray because it is our habit to eat without raising the name of God,

      We must start every work with the name of God on earth because there is a solid reason behind and a few know it that there are thousands of evil spirits roaming on earth preying human beings those are straying on earth forgetting God in their works.

      What Evil Spirits on Earth
      Evil spirits roan on earth just to astray men and women so that they could lead astray the innocent people of the world. We must not forget God in our daily life thus we shall get life prolonged and you will enjoy health and wealth.

      • You are right when you say that one does not have to pray before eating. I only said we must pray together. It is rather thanking than praying.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, A Gardener Always has Countless Happy Moments 8 years ago

    As I have often mentioned, planning gives me more joy than the end result and this applies to gardening as well. These zinnia seedlings have a story.

    Someone was passing by with a whole lot of zinnia plants […]

    • As you have rightly said gardening is a complete package. 🙂

    • We are in the same flock because me too is so engage in gardening. We have lots of flowering plants in our front that includes roses, daisies, hibiscus, bougainvaella and many more. It is true what you have said, and this really inspires me for my every day.

      • I can imagine how happy you must be with all the flowers around you which you are responsible for them to be there.

    • Yes it true that a gardener has many happy moments in life than any other person. There was a day when I grew all my own annual flowers from seed — as many as 25 different varieties. Though my garden is now smaller and my ambition has mellowed a bit, I still start many flowers from seed. Here’s why:

      Say you want to plant a 12-foot row of zinnias along your walk, or put 40 white impatiens in your shade garden. Buying these plants at your local nursery will probably set you back at least $50, whereas a packet of seeds will run you about $4. That’s an extra $46 to spend on some other gardening essentials!

      Another reason I start annuals from seed is that even the best garden centers don’t offer some of the most worthy garden annuals. To make sure I always have love-lies-bleeding (Amaranthus caudatus), Nicotiana langsdorfii, Phlox drummondii, Salvia horminium, lavatera (Lavatera trimestris) and other favorites, I always start them myself.

      I don’t know why it is, but seed packets rarely provide the basic seedstarting information a gardener needs to know. The packet usually won’t tell you whether the seeds should be started indoors under lights, or should be planted right in the garden. You won’t be told if the seeds need light or darkness to germinate, or if the seedlings are frost hardy.

      These days, with so many unusual varieties available from seed, you may also wind up purchasing seeds for something exotic, like the Himalayan blue poppy (Meconopsis betonicifolia) that even a highly experienced gardener would have difficulty bringing into flower.

    • This is absolutely true. I can never imagine myself not gardening at all. I think I will always go back to my seeds and soil.
