times
we will know it
we will know it
more than
ever
there is a place in the heart that

and
we will wait

Speak and talk have similar meanings
Talk is more common in spoken English and usually suggests that two or more people are having a conversation or discussing something: We talked on the phone for nearly an hour . John and I have been talking about our families . Could I talk to you about the travel arangements? Talk with is more formal than talk to in BrE, but it is very general in AmE: He refused to talk with/to reporters
Speak is a little more formal and suggests that someone is using their voice or that one person is saying somthing to a group: I was so shocked I couldn't speak . Could you seak louder? . A docor spoke to the class about/on stress. Speak to / with is often used in polite requests, for example when you are making a phone call. Speak with is a little more formal in BrE: Hello, could I speak to Michael? . I'd like to speak to/with the manager, please
When a noun follows speak, it must be a language: He speaks Italian. Talk can b followed by nuns such as business or sense.
The differences between do &make.
Do and Make are two verbs which frequently confuse students. Here we will learn about the difference between Do and Make and when to use each one.
When do you use DO?
DO is used as follows:
1. DO is used when talking about work, jobs or tasks. Note, they do not produce any physical object.
Have you done your homework?
I have guests visiting tonight so I should start doing the housework now.
I wouldn't like to do that job.
2. DO is used when we refer to activities in general without being specific. In these cases, we normally use words like thing, something, nothing, anything, everything etc.
Hurry up! I've got things to do!
Don't just stand there – do something!
Is there anything I can do to help you?
3. We sometimes use DO to replace a verb when the meaning is clear or obvious. This is more common in informal spoken English:
Do I need to do my hair? (Do = brush or comb)
Have you done the dishes yet? (Done = washed)
I'll do the kitchen if you do the lawns (do = clean, do = mow)
Remember Do can also be as an auxiliary verb (for making questions in the present tense - Do you like chocolate?) For more about Doused in this case, see our page about Do vs Does. Here we will be talking about Do as a normal verb.
When do you use MAKE?
Make is for producing, constructing, creating or building something new.
It is also used to indicate the origin of a product or the materials that are used to make something.
His wedding ring is made of gold.
The house was made of adobe.
Wine is made from grapes.
The watches were made in Switzerland
We also use Make for producing an action or reaction:
Onions make your eyes water.
You make me happy.
It’s not my fault. My brother made me do it!
You make after certain nouns about plans and decisions:
Make the arrangements,
Make a choice
We use Make with nouns about speaking and certain sounds:
Make a comment
Make a noise
Make a speech
We use Make with Food, Drink and Meals:
Make a cake
Make a cup of tea
Make dinner
Compare Do and Make
A: You have to make a cake for Simon.
B: I’ll do it later.
Notice how in the response the verb DO is used. This is because the meaning is clear and to avoid saying “I’ll make it later.” which could sound repetitive.
If you want to use "I hope" and "I wish" correctly, you just need to memorize these two phrases:
I hope I can...
I wish I could...
You may be wondering: why do English speakers use the present tense for "hope" and the past tense for "wish"?
The secret is that "could" is not really past tense. It looks like the past tense, but it's secretly something different. It's the "unreal" aspect. In other words, it expresses something that's not really true, or not very likely.
We use "wish" to talk about things that are impossible, or things that probably won't happen:
I wish I could fly.
I wish there were more hours in the day.
I wish I'd studied something a little more practical.
On the other hand, we use "I hope..." when there's a good chance that something might happen. You can use it to say what you want to happen in the future:
I hope this cake turns out OK.
I hope we can still be friends.
The grammar of "wish" and "hope"
Here's how "wish" and "hope" look in the present, past, and future.
Present
I hope this is the last mistake.
I wish my phone worked here.
Past
I hope Antonio got home safely.*
I wish you'd told me sooner.
* You can't use "hope" to talk about something in the past, unless you don't know what happened yet. In this example, you haven't heard whether Antonio got home safely.
Future
I hope it stops raining soon.*
I wish it would stop raining.
* You follow "hope" with the present tense of a verb, even when you're talking about the future. So you say "I hope it stops" instead of "I hope it will stop."
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and....
Prof: So you believe in Go
Prof: Is God good
Prof: Is God all-powerful
Hmm? (Student is silent.)
Student: Yes.
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?Student: No , sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelled your god? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy.
Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that
death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelled it?.....No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.Student: That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
Do you know who the student is....?
If you could give one piece of advice to a
large group of people, what would it be?"
"When a wave
comes, go deep."
I think I'm going to need an explanation for that one.
There are three things you can do when life sends a wave at you. You can run from it, but then it's going to catch up and knock you down. You can also fall back on your ego and try to stand your ground, but then it's still going to clobber you. Or you can use it as an opportunity to go deep, and transform yourself to match the circumstances. And that's how you get through the wave...
Dear Self,
If you keep going backward with the people that God has intentionally removed from your life, you will continue to stay stuck. There is no joy in being confused and unhappy. Get rid of old bad habits and leave them where they belong. What is meant for you will be yours, learn to let go. Dysfunction isn't love.
sincerely,
self
The Backstreet Boys (sometimes referred to as BSB) are an American vocal harmony group, formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. The group consists of A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell. They rose to fame with their debut international album, Backstreet Boys (1996). In the following year, they released their second international album Backstreet's Back (1997) and their U.S. debut album which continued the group's success worldwide. They rose to superstardom with their third studio album Millennium (1999) and its follow-up album, Black & Blue (2000).
After a two-year hiatus, they regrouped and released a comeback album Never Gone (2005). Richardson left the group after the conclusion of Never Gone Tour in 2006 to pursue other interests. The group then released two albums as a quartet: Unbreakable (2007) and This Is Us (2009).
In April 2012, the group announced that Richardson had rejoined them permanently, and by July, they had started working on their next studio album. The group also made their very first performance as a reunited five-piece in August, as part of Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series.
The Backstreet Boys have sold over 130 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling boy band of all time, and one of the world's best-selling music artists. They are the first group since Sade to have their first seven albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200. They are also set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013.
and here are some of their songs:

The reason why I cry may be because of your forgiving me. I don’t know; maybe it is because when I see your greatness, I feel my own weakness.
That I placed you in my heart wasn’t because I wanted to fill my solitude; it was because I need you like every other one in this world.
I want every single tear to write your name on my cheeks when I cry. I want my tears to leave their trail and be born again when they reach the end of their lives.
Yesterday when I was passing by life with great pride, I thought life is that God, who must be in my heart. But I was wrong. Because when I lived it, I began to hate it. Then I traveled together with someone for a time. I thought he was so much the one God I was looking for. But when we went our separate ways, I found that he wasn’t also the right one. Thereafter I never think of anyone or anything in mistake for God.
My God is he, whose soul runs in me. Only he sees my cries, hears my voice and forgives me. He loves me whether I like him or not. He is always by my side; closer than anyone to me.
God, place your mercy in my tears...
