My favourite phrasal verbs with their meaning

Haiku Poem

It is foggy now
The slow rain creates ripples
And upsets silence

Haiku Poem

Crystal water flows
Throughout the green valley
Ends up in the sea

Haiku Poem

The sea hits the rocks
The fish swim in the vast blue
 In sheer harmony

Haiku Poem

 The sky is so dark
The rain is pouring down hard
That means loneliness

Hybrid thinking!!

This is the second video I have ever seen on this site called ''TED''.In my opinion,the video I linked was an amazing video which can give you too many things to think.The man talking was explaining how our brain works and the evolution of our brains since the prehistoric times.In the end,he says something very exciting; he said that in about 10 or 20 years we will have nanobots in our brains so it will be much easier and much faster to think about something we want,for example we will be like Google,our brain will be able to find hundreds of results in only 3 seconds,can you imagine that?As he was closing,the scientist said that we will be thinking with 2 ways,the non-biological way which we will be thinking with the help of the nanobots and the biological way which we will be thinking with our brains,that is going to be very slow of course.I forgot to mention,the man also stated that if we put nanobots in our brains our forehead is going to be bigger and we will be able to expand our thinking without limits.

Advice from a firefighter

https://www.ted.com/talks/mark_bezos_a_life_lesson_from_a_volunteer_firefighter#t-212603

This video was about a firefighter and his first experience as a volunteer firefighter and his life lesson from it.  In my opinion, the best part of this video was when the volunteer explained a life lesson he got. This is: Do what you want the time you think about it. In this way, he reminds us that we are people and we need help from others and the other way round. His final message, in my words was: Actions speak louder than words.

This video is about a speech of a volunteer firefigher named Mark Bezos.
He explains his experiences of his first fire and encourages us to make a difference in everyday lives, be generous and help other people.
His speech is inspirational, in some places humorous and gives us food for thought.
