Idiom: -{ the writing is on the wall }-

This idiom "the_writing_is_on_the_wall" is used when we know a certain situation is going to end badly based on things that we have observed. For example:
- My girlfriend and I are still together, but I’m pretty sure we’re going to break up soon. The writing is on the wall; we hardly ever talk anymore.
- I think my company is going to close down in the near future. The writing is on the wall; we have very few customers now, and several people have been laid off.
- That politician is going to lose the next election. He’s been in power too long and has become extremely unpopular lately. The writing is on the wall for him.
- I think my grandfather will die soon. He’s over 90 years old and has been sick for a long time. Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall.
▼ As you can see from the examples, we use this expression by explaining the situation first and then using “the writing is on the wall”. When we’re talking about other people’s situations, we can add “for him/her/them”.

Anger

Different people react in different ways when they are angry. In this lesson, we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry. When someone is angry in the real world, they use a lot of profanity or curse words. Because of this fact, this lesson will contain bad words. There are many ways a person can get angry. Let's first look at the situation where it involved a different person. "I'm so pissed. Roger just stabbed me in the back." "What was he thinking! I thought we were friends too." "I don't know what I'm going to do when I see him. I found out that he's been sleeping with my girlfriend." "Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend. I'm pretty upset about that. He knows I still have feelings for her." "Whenever I think about him, I get pissed. He treats his friends like crap." "I can't believe he was talking behind my back. Whenever he talks to me, he acts like we're close frie...

Story of the Day - Wrong email

A couple going on vacation but his wife was on a business trip so he went to the destination first and his wife would meet him the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email. Unfortunately, when typing her address, he mistyped a letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen: Dearest Wife, Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow. P.S. Sure is hot down here.

The difference between words: [fun], [funny] and [interesting]

Today, I have three adjectives which are closely related but have different meanings in English: “fun”, “funny” and “interesting”. ►The word “fun” is used when we talk about enjoying ourselves or having a good time. For example: - The party was so much fun! We danced and drank all night long. - The action movie was a lot of fun. I’d like to see it again. - I love going to Disneyland! It’s so much fun! ► The word “funny” is used when something or someone makes us laugh. For example: - Tom is such a funny guy. He always makes me laugh. - That joke wasn’t funny at all. Nobody laughed at it. - The new comedy with Jim Carrey is supposed to be really funny. Let’s go see it this weekend. ► The word “interesting” is used when talking about situations in which we learn something or are made to think about something. For example: - I think going to museums is interesting, but my friend doesn’t agree with me. - The new drama on TV is sad but very interesting. It’s about a doctor who is...

Grammatical Expression: [Don’t get me wrong]

Native English speakers use this expression when we are talking about something and we think the other person might have gotten a negative impression of us based on what we just said. So, to correct this, we use “Don’t get me wrong.” For example: - My wife really annoys me sometimes! Don’t get me wrong. I love her, but sometimes she’s difficult to be with. - That politician from ABC Party is really dishonest. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying all politicians from that party are dishonest, but he certainly is. - I really love to drink. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not an alcoholic; I just enjoy drinking. - My job is really bad right now. Don’t get me wrong. I usually really like my work, but right now we’re working on a very difficult project. ▼ So, as you can see from the examples, the person first makes a statement. After that, they say “Don’t get me wrong.” Finally, they make another statement which corrects any bad Fantasy Free Prediction

> [Clothes] + plural verb Don't say: Your cloth is very fashionable. Say: Your clothes are very fashionable. ► Here's why: CLOTHES is a plural word, and it is never singular. If you mean only one thing, you can say: "a piece of clothes" or "an article of clothes". ▼ Note: Cloth is NOT the singular of clothes. [Cloth] means the material of which clothes are made, it is singular, and has a plural form CLOTHS (without the e): - She cleaned the table with a cloth. - They sell different kinds of cloths.

After Death A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, 'Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.' Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.' The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, 'Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough. Best Dream11 Prediction Website
