Two (note: being a couple means 2 already)A married couple completed their forty years of marriage. Since they weren't rich and can't afford the expenses to their anniversary, they decided that they would just take a walk in the streets of their old city. They bought ice cream, drank coffee and talked about how time went so fast. They were genuinely happy. As they were walking back to their house, they came across an old hotel where they had spent one night forty years ago, and which it has become very beautiful and expensive too.
The couple decided to give it a try and see how it has changed from the inside since the last time they had been there. As they walked in, they were amazed by the luxury and the fancy ceiling of the hotel. While they were standing there in the middle of the reception room staring at the walls, a man approached them, introducing himself as the manager of the five starts hotel and was wondering if he could be of help to them.
The couple explained that they had spent one night there forty years ago, and they just wanted to look at it so as to remember/reminisce(Note: a better word i think, although remember is okay) some of their old days. The manager seemed interested in their story and wanted to hear more, so he invited them to stay for the night because their forty years of marriage coincides with the hotel's forty years of service anniversary and that they would celebrate that night.
Since they were embarrassed to tell the manager that they couldn't afford such a night, they thanked him and went two steps back to leave. But the manager insisted by telling them that they shouldn't worry about that, and it was free of charge. It was their honor to host an old married couple who would be witnessing the hotel's forty years of service and hard work...0 votedSeptember 15, 20162THE BEAUTY OF THE WOMAN
I casually read somewhere something like this :"The beauty of a woman must be seen through one's eyes or perception, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides."
I feel that sentence is very interesting. It gives us a new look on the woman's beauty. Her beauty is not only evaluated through her external appearance but also perceived through one's eyes, as in the saying that goes: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. For women, the eyes are also viewed as "Windows of the soul", which contained the marvelous things which not everyone could see. It's interesting to know that the way a woman perceives is also the way to her heart, a romantic man should know this. Men should be able to feel the true beauty of a woman, be gradually be captivated by it, & cherish it. Don't value someone only because of his or her appearance. Please be sincere in loving one another.
But I think in today's modern society, it's hard to have a sincere love. People are increasingly drawn into the whirlpool of money and status. They had gradually forgotten what little happiness that surrounds them. By the time they are old, they will realize they've wasted their youth. By then it's already too late because time will never come back.
Husbands should love more their wives more by showering them care and attention. Men should know that when women get married, they had to sacrifice a lot for their family so much that their beauty is easily faded. Women comprise half of the world and are considered the beautiful flowers of many colors, so please love them. Don't use violence on them.
Finally, I want to say that we love one another in the most sincere way.
With love or lovingly,
Annie.
29.08.2016Note: In my own opinion, the beauty of a woman is the same with that of a man hence the beauty of a person, be a man, woman, child or elderly is the same or true to all. Hence, let's show respect & kindness to all.

The first steps seems scary.. but often it's only on our mind.. once we've stepped on.. it will be on a free wheeling fun ride with whoever it is who got a kind heart to take us on as language partners, by god's grace & mercy :)0 votedSeptember 13, 20160

Mr. Grey had a nice shop in the main street of a small town. He sold jewellery, watches, clocks and other things. All went well for some years, until Mr. Grey's shop was broken into the night, twice in a month, and a lot jewellery was stolen each time. Three weeks later, the police had still not managed to catch the thief. So Mr. Grey decided that he would try to do something about it. He bought a camera, fixed it up in his shop so that it could photograph anyone who breaks-in into the night. He place some very cheap jewellery in it for the thief.
A few nights later, the thief did come again, but he did not touched any of the cheap jewellery that Mr. Grey had put out for him. He took the camera. It was worth 150 pounds.0 votedSeptember 12, 201609/12/2016
Under the lovely morning sun, after the organizer brandished the flag in his hand and fired the starter pistol, the runners jostled each other and started to race towards the finishing line. I was one of them.
I ran as fast as my legs can carry me. The wind that brushed my face thrilled me. After a mile, I started panting; I felt my legs were heavier. More and more runners caught up with me, bypassed me and overtook me. One by one they disappeared from my eyesight.
From the tar road, the route extended into a woodland, where the track became bumpier. The golden sunlight spilled through the slit of the leaves. A cacophony of insects and birds welcomed me into their territories. I was not in the mood to enjoy this. I lumbered through. the woodlands. I could feel my lung was about to burst, my legs were going to give way.
The track led me to a beach. The beach stretched like an undulating canvas with a trail of footsteps imprinted on it. At this time, I had no sight of other runners. Volunteers along the track cheered me up. My foot sank into the sand again and again and it is difficult to lift them up. I floundered along the beach. My body mass was pressing me down, I felt I was walking on a high-gravity planet.
Finally, I reached the finishing line, I realized I was one of the last persons who arrived. All the T-shirt was collected, except for XXL size, which is too big for my petite body.
I guess this is my last attempt for a marathon. I kept the oversized T-shirt for a souvenir.0 votedSeptember 12, 20162
