Mari:
You know what’s the worst?

Alison:
What?

Mari:
When you have to go to the bathroom so badly, and you just cannot find a public restroom.

Alison:
It’s so true, and there aren’t very many alternatives.

Mari:
No. And I feel like we’re so lucky in the US because we have a lot of public restrooms. If you’ve traveled extensively, you don’t always get to places that have them.

Alison:
Exactly.

Mari:
And then you realize… Pretty lucky. Now, the flip side of that is that they are not always the cleanest places, are they?

Alison:
I know! I always worry about my hygiene when I go in. I was in a public restroom the other day, and there were no soap dispensers and no paper towels.

Mari:
I understand. And sometimes, there’s a lack of privacy, like there’s not really doors, and the door doesn’t lock. But you know, wh

Spicy Food & Conjunctions

How much spice is too much? Some people love spicy food. In many cultures, ingredients like chilies and hot pepper are common. Other cultures use garlic, ginger, or horseradish to spice up their food. Many people in the United States love hot sauce. They use it on almost everything from eggs to sandwiches! If you ask an American, they will probably have a favorite brand of hot sauce they like to use.

Spicy food can be good for your body. It can help with congestion if you have a cold. It can make you sweat, which cools your skin off. In hot countries, many people eat spicy food all the time so that they can feel cooler. However, if you are not used to spicy food, it can make you feel sick. It sometimes causes indigestion or just burns your tongue. It’s important to be careful and drink a lot of water if you are new to eating spicy food. Some people even drink milk, as it can help stop the spread of the heat.

Bryan and Carly are talking about some spicy food that Carly ate. Find out what they think about it in this English lesson.

What are Verbs? List of 600+ English Verbs with Types, Examples, Rules

Verbs are words that describe the way someone or something does something. They describe what the subject of a sentence is doing. Verbs can indicate (physical or mental) actions, occurrences and states of being. They describe an action, like the words eat, sleep, love and study. They are actions, words that involve motion or physical activity.

Examples: Verbs in a sentence

Glen teaches English.

Students are studying now.

True love exists.

Sentences must have at least one verb. A sentence can be just a single verb in the imperative form (e.g., “Go!”). In this example, the implied subject is you.

Grammar and Examples:

Mr. Rowell takes a lesson in the morning.

What does Mr. Rowell do?

He takes a lesson.

The action he is doing is "taking" a lesson.

So the action is denoted by the word “takes". In that case that word “takes" is the verb.

The university hired him.
Here, the word "hired" is the verb.

His boss refused to support him a

How to Study in Six Simple Steps

Space (1)

How to Study: It is easier to study when you are in a comfortable space. Make room, mentally and physically, for studying. Take a deep breath and pause for a moment before you start. Remember the types of things that make you comfortable. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can focus without distractions.

Place (2)

Personalize your workspace. Surround yourself with items that inspire and motivate you. This could include quotes, posters or images that help you remember things. Arrange your desk and study materials in a way that makes it easy to study. Use organizers, shelves and containers to keep everything tidy but accessible. Also remove all the things you don't need on your desk. Lots of people just pile up stuff and move it to the side but this makes it difficult to study at times.

Pace (3)

Notice the way you like to work, and adjust your pace accordingly. If you work slowly just allow more time to study. A 10-minute break for 30 minutes study works for a lot of people. Also don't forget to check how much you actually remembering after studying for about 30 minutes. It's easy to st

#/trackback - The Art of Website Trackback Etiquette

Trackback Etiquette: Using trackbacking as a traffic building tool is a fine art. Many bloggers make the mistake of focusing on trackbacks even before their blog has enough or even any content. This may bring new readers in but they will not stay long or bookmark your site as you don’t give them a reason to.

It is also important to know your place in the blog hierarchy. The really popular bloggers are trackbacked constantly so you will not likely get their attention by trackbacking because you will be one of many. You need to carefully pick and choose who you trackback and when you trackback if you want to use it for building your blog traffic.

Trackback spam is also a big problem nowadays, so when you receive a trackback to your blog, make sure you check to see the blog that initiated it, it could be a spam blog. You will know this because the blog doesn’t have any original content, it just republishes the content of other blogs.

I suggest you delete any trackback spam and only let the real trackbacks from real blogs go through live on to your blog or website.

Try some trackbacks today and see if it will open doors to new relationships with
