To inquire about my classes, or for a trial lesson, email me at acewld@gmail.com

 

We are going to discuss something that confuses students of English as a Second Language or ESL. 

Prepositions are really tricky. The best way to learn about prepositions by heart is to keep on reading, reading, and reading.

This blog post shows the verbs/words that usually go with the preposition FROM. I also provided some example sentences for your convenience


Borrow

If you want to set up a business but you have no capital, try to borrow money from a bank. Or, if you have a generous friend, you can also borrow money from him/her/

Defend

My ancestors defended my country from invaders. 

Differ

My opinion greatly differs from yours but of course, that doesn't mean I hate you. I love you as a friend and I respect you as a human even though our opinions are different.

Long time ago, I lived in a far-flung area and we had to draw water from a deep well.

Escape

The truth is, no matter how much alcohol we drink, we can never escape from our problems, We have to face our problems and solve them objectively.

Eating Coffee (Whaattt?!)

By -Elizabeth D. Andres

  Coffee Picture 1 Coffee Picture 2 I eat coffee... Picture 3 I eat coffee. You read it right. I EAT coffee beans the way you eat your popcorn. I also eat ground coffee. I eat all types of coffee grinds. I would like to state first that I don’t own a percolator (I have one but it’s 15 hours away by bus and this is another story. Hahaha). I just boil ground coffee in a small pot (the pot you use when you go camping), and pour it to my coffee cup while straining it at the same time. March 2020, the lockdown due to Covid 19 was implemented. At that time, I was still adjusting to the “new normal” and, amidst the confusion and uncertainties, even the most basic task felt like an enormous duty.   One day I got too lazy to even look for my metal coffee strainer, so I just poured the freshly brewed coffee into my cup, with all the unstrained coffee grounds which I ate, of course. I instantly liked the bitter taste of the coarsely ground coffee and its creamy aftertaste. Soon, I was eating on

A Bonne' Lotion Review

  I have a new friend. Well, friends…because there are two of them, but they are of the same brand, so “friend” is also acceptable. I discovered these two wonderful beauty products in late 2019, but it is only now that I have the time to feature them here. I live in a tropical country, and it is understandable for people here to look for some products that will block the adverse effect of ultraviolet rays. I did some research and I found these. I immediately went to the nearest beauty store to find them. I instantly liked the smell of the orange one, A Bonne’ Miracle Spa Milk with Tomato Extract. I don’t know if real milk or tomato extract was added here, I’m not a chemist, so there’s no way for me to find it out. I instantly liked this anyway because of its scent. It’s not too sweet, it’s not too bland, it’s a perfect balance between sweetness and freshness. When I got home, I took a shower again of course, and tried this all over my body. It felt so smooth! I never had this exp

BEAR BRAND STERILIZED!

me, drinking Bear Brand Sterilized at my desk, right after my class photo taken with my webcam (Those are my watercolor paintings behind me.)    My milk at my workplace, right on my desk  There are times when I am too busy, too sleepy, too tired, too weary to prepare dinner. There are even times when my fragile heart gets   smashed and picking the pieces up means I have to just cry silently, without any energy to get up and prepare dinner. Yes, there are nights when I just go to bed without getting a decent meal. And because of these reasons, I always keep at least three Tetra-Pak of Bear Brand sterilized full cream milk in my room. I would just consume one before I go to bed, and its nutrients are more than enough to power me up until the following morning, when I feel fresh and renewed, ready to face the day. I like this because it’s neither too sweet nor too creamy. There are some that are flavored, but I prefer this natural milk taste and smell. One thing I noticed about this m
