What is the role of imagery in connecting the two strophes? amid withered grasses and mournful Mists, chaotic Ravens see off the sun: wind-blown sand whirls across the level plain. brushing the snow with a metal whip, cheating the cold in a soft hat: I still recall racing horses along Zhang Terrace Road. the first strophic unit brings out the second strophic through describing the time (dusk) and place (a waste land) and it’s a cold weather, which is the reason of the poet’s clothing or accessories.

🚫 3 Common Grammar Mistakes You Might Be Making ✍️ Grammar mistakes happen to the best of us! Here are three common errors that often slip through the cracks—and how to avoid them. 1. Confusing Your vs. You're 🛑 Your is a possessive pronoun, while you're is a contraction of "you are." Mixing these up is super common, but easy to fix! Example: ❌ "Your going to love this movie." ✅ "You're going to love this movie." 2. Misusing Their, There, and They’re 🛑 These homophones can be tricky! Their = Possessive (belongs to them) There = Refers to a place They’re = Contraction of "they are" Example: ❌ "There going to bring their dog over here." ✅ "They’re going to bring their dog over there." 3. Mixing Up Then vs. Than 🛑 Then refers to time or sequence, while than is used for comparisons. Example: ❌ "She is taller then her brother." ✅ "She is taller than her brother." 💡 Quick Tip: Pay close attention to context when using these words—small changes make a big difference!

It's sunny today. I hit the gym this afternoon because I will be helping out at MeeMaw’s place tonight. Mom decided to celebrate tonight to avoid a hangover the day after tomorrow, which is a working day. We invited some friends to come over, and some of them will probably drink like a fish too, as my dad. Overall, I'm no longer bothered by my parents' drinking. They tend to say way more heartwarming things to me than usual when they're drunk. You have to take the good with the bad, right? The downside is that I know someone will probably vomit in the bathroom and make it difficult for MeeMaw to clean up. I definitely won't clean up vomit! Poor MeeMaw! She shouldn’t have invited them at first place!

When I see times available in a teacher's timetable, are those times their local time? Or have they been adjusted to be the times in the student's own country? Thank you Nyima (Nick)

I am very proud to be learning a less common language. Learning Kazakh has been a gateway to an entirely new way of seeing and experiencing the world and I am so glad I live in a time where I can connect with a native speaker across the world who is willing to teach me. I am encouraged that more people every day are hearing the beautiful Kazakh language for the first time and falling in love with it like me. I hope that more people will take on the challenge of learning the language and sharing it with others.
