            One of the simple hobbies that indeed help us in learning English is listening to the music. Any kind of music actually helps us to more concentrate on the thing that we do, and it is the same with English. If you heard song in English, just pick up one of the song that you like, listen it carefully and without you even realise you will know the meaning of the song, as you will search for the unknown vocabularies in the dictionary and write it down because you want to remember it as the part of the song. So from this way you already add up your vocabulary. As it is a song, of course you want to sing it, in that case, our listening skill will be test here. Everybody wants to sing the song they like well from listening to the music more than one time you will make a sense of the words and the words’ pronunciation; therefore you will know how to pronounce the words correctly. So, listening to the music is not only keeps the stress away but also helps us studying English.

 Youth Without Age and Life Without Death

Romanian folktale

Once upon a time something happened whose like never occurred before—if it had not happened it would not be told—since the flea had one foot shod with ninety-nine pounds of iron and jumped into the skies to get us fairy tales.
There was once a mighty emperor and empress. Both were young and handsome, and as they desired the blessing of children they did every thing that was necessary to secure it, that is they went to the witches and philosophers and asked them to read the stars to find out whether they would have children or not. But it was all in vain. Finally the emperor heard that a very wise old man lived in a neighboring village, and sent for him. The messengers returned with the answer: "Let him who needs me come to me." So the emperor and empress set out for the wise man's house, taking with them several of their courtiers, attendants, and soldiers. When the old man saw them in the distance, he rose, went to meet them, and said at once:
"Welcome! But what do you want to know, oh, emperor! your wish will bring you sorrow."
"I am not here to question you about that," replied the emperor, "but to learn whether you have any plants you can give us that will bestow the blessing of children."

READING TIME

The Frog Prince

By Brother Grimm

One fine evening a young princess put on her bonnet and clogs, and went out to take a walk by herself in a wood; and when she came to a cool spring of water with a rose in the middle of it, she sat herself down to rest a while. Now she had a golden ball in her hand, which was her favorite plaything; and she was always tossing it up into the air, and catching it again as it fell.

  After a time she threw it up so high that she missed catching it as it fell; and the ball bounced away, and rolled along on the ground, until at last it fell down into the spring. The princess looked into the spring after her ball, but it was very deep, so deep that she could not see the bottom of it. She began to cry, and said, 'Alas! if I could only get my ball again, I would give all my fine clothes and jewels, and everything that I have in the world.' Whilst she was speaking, a frog put its head out of the water, and said, 'Princess, why do you weep so bitterly?'

 'Alas!' said she, 'what can you do for me, you nasty frog? My golden ball has fallen into the spring.'

                The frog said, 'I do not want your pearls, and jewels, and fine clothes; but if you will love me, and let me live with you and eat from off your golden plate, and sleep on your bed, I will bring you your ball again.'

                'What nonsense,' thought the princess, 'this silly frog is talking! He can never even get out of the spring to visit me, though he may be able to get my ball for me, and therefore I will tell him he shall have what he asks.'

                So she said to the frog, 'Well, if you will bring me my ball, I will do all you ask.'

                Then the frog put his head down, and dived deep under the water; and after a little while he came up again, with the ball in his mouth, and threw it on the edge of the spring. As soon as the young princess saw her ball, she ran to pick it up; and she was so overjoyed to have it in her hand again, that she never thought of the frog, but ran home with it as fast as she could.

                The frog called after her, 'Stay, princess, and take me with you as you said,' But she did not stop to hear a word. The next day, just as the princess had sat down to dinner, she heard a strange noise - tap, tap - plash, plash - as if something was coming up the marble staircase, and soon afterwards there was a gentle knock at the door, and a little voice cried out and said:

'Open the door, my princess dear,
‘Open the door to thy true love here! And mind the words that thou and I said by the fountain cool, in the greenwood shade.'

Teaching Technique

Some Techniques in teaching Reading

There are lots of techniques that a teacher may apply in their class; however, the teachers have to be careful in choosing the technique that they want to use. A teacher has to consider the students grade and also their language level before applying the technique. Here some example of the techniques that the teachers may use in teaching reading subject. 

v  Flashboard, it is use for early stage of reading

Here the teachers have to provide themselves with some flashboard. The flashboards are the same with the flashcard but in flashboard it consists of the letter of the words meanwhile in flashcard it consists of the picture of the words. How to apply this technique is the same with the way the teachers apply flashcard. So they flash the board as fast as possible so that the students will full concentrate on the letters on the boards.

v  Pictures stories, it can be used both for early stage and also intermediate

This technique is very useful when introducing a reading subject to the students. Here the students will find that the reading subject is not a boring. The students will have some stories that accompanied by some pictures so if the students find it hard to understand the text they will still be able to make sense of it through the pictures. In addition, they will find the reading text is enjoyable for they will see lots of pictures in the text.

REVIEW TEXT

                   The review of Twilight book

I am a big fan of vampire book. After a long waiting of the new series of vampire novel, finally, Twilight blooms as a new flower in the deep of darkness. It gives a new living in a life of vampire novel society that has been buried down for so long. For me it gives such a great entertaining in my spare time.

Giving such refreshing plot of romantic between vampire and human makes this novel stand out. The story starts when Bella Swan, a high school student from Arizona moves to the outskirt city in phoenix. There the love blooms between Bella and Edward Cullen, the handsome vampire boy. Their loves starts beautifully until another vampire clan comes to phoenix and target Bella as their victim.
