challenge, try

Have you ever tried taking an English exam like the TOEIC or TOEFL? If so, then you know how tough these exams can be. I think it is a great idea for all students to try one of these standard exams once a year. Doing so will help keep your English studies on focus and give you some objective feedback about your progress. I challenge you to try them!
Did you notice how I used try and challenge above? A lot of English learners confuse these two words.

Do you like noodles? In many cultures around the world, noodles are a basic ingredient in many dishes. And no matter what kind of noodle dish you like, noodles always taste better when they are made by hand. Most noodles are made with wheat or some other kind of grain flour, and I think it is better to eat noodles from a dish that was made of ceramics. Today, let’s look at the various prepositions used with the word made. This lessongraphic has all of the details and some examples.

Wear the Same Shirt for 100 Days


If you can’t stand ironing, there’s great news you.  Wool&Prince have invented a shirt that you can wear 100 times before it needs to be washed and ironed. It is made of a type of wool that doesn’t wrinkle and fights off nasty odours too.  The company used a group of testers who wore the shirt while backpacking, clubbing and working out. However, it always stayed fresh and clean, even after one tester crumpled his up and left it in his rucksack all day.  At just under 100 dollars, it’s not  exactly  cheap, but just think about the time you will save, not to mention the reduction in your laundry expenses.
Would you wear it for 100 days?
