How To Improve Your English

                   The English Language is the universal language.  It allows people all around the world to communicate with one another using one platform.  Nowadays, after learning the basic, many came across numerous stumbling blocks in a bid to improve their English language proficiency.  They also try to take their English language to the next level.  To speak proficiency, we need to improve our English.  There’s always so much way to improve and it can be really fun!  I just thought of some simple ways to improve their English.  I myself try to improve my English.  Practice speaking in English every day.  We can practice speaking at home  with your parents or siblings or at school or college with your classmate or college mate.  Reading is what people mostly advise to do to improve English especially to improve your grammar.  Read anything and everything in English.  Read books, magazines, newspapers, English textbook, advertisement and so on.  Don’t force yourself to read story books too difficult or something that you won’t enjoy reading.  Read books that you really enjoy to read.  Make reading fun!   Watch English movies with subtitles.  You will not only enjoying watching the movie but you’d be learning new words and how to pronounce them correctly  at the same time.  Listen to radio and songs. This would be my favourite way to improve English.  Read the lyrics as you listen to the songs. Listen to your favourite songs and sing along to them.  Learn new word a day.  You can keep your own vocabulary and write a new word.  Try to search for their meaning and write it in your vocabulary notebook.  Refer to it as often as possible so that the new words will stuck on your mind.  You can also learn new phrases, idioms or proverbs a day.  This how I improve my English.

Life is Like a Cup of Coffee

     ‘Life is like a cup of coffee’ is an inspirational story by unknown author.  For those who are searching the internet for an answer to philosophical question which you’ve pondered over for many years now, ‘what is the meaning of life?’, this story tells you what excatly life means.  In the story, the student complains about stress in their job.  Job is what you aim for when your were in university or college or even at the tender age of nine.  Job is what you need in life to live.  It is normal for you to want the best for yourselves, that is the sources of your problems and stress.  ‘Porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal’ shows that challenge and different situation to face in life.  Life is like a cup of coffee, both life  bitter and sweet.  Life is so colourful because we have different expreriences and situation.  We look at all our problems and start to worrying those problems to earned the good and the best things but life has slowly passed.  The life that God gave to us to be happy have been spent by worrying and troubling over a small things.  The happiest people don’t have the best in everything , they just make the best in everything.  This is what I agree with.  People don’t  own all best things in the world, they are making things the best.   Life is such a precious gift from God which should be lived.  ‘Life is the coffee.  The jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live.’ We can inspire thousands or millions of people with this inspirational and touching story what life is about and why life is like a cup of coffee.
