This hand out is designed, arranged and compiled based on the current curriculum of KKNI. We tried to fulfill the need of students in enhancing their speaking skill not only through theoretical expressions but also practical sides. This hand out is easy to follow and equipped by some videos and movies to make it more interesting and fully joyful. Not only that, it delivers some practices to strengthen students’ understanding in implementing the speaking expressions given. The contents of this hand out are fully considered to the recent issues of teaching English as the second language in university. Students will learn about the fruitful topics like; demonstrating how to say what they want in a shop and ask the price, demonstrating how to use public transport, asking for basic information and buying tickets, demonstrating how to ask for and give direction, demonstrating how to make and respond to invitations, etc. The goal of compiling this material is that providing students with the best track of joining the speaking 1 class since it is completed by the exercises which empowering them to dare to speak English. We believe that this hand out is not the perfect made. If there are some critics and inputs to make it better, we will kindly accept any suggestions.

And the love of Ghee Ghee (Lucy), to move me away from this lonely, hideous hell, to nearer, and nearer heaven! Because greed hate, arrogance and sin are legislated! And shot into our body, souls and our veins like some small pox or swine flue vaccine . . . and only God’s love grace can turn the hands of time! Because, my heart was left, so cold, alone . . . and abandoned! And for my, poor heart, Gloria, no one can ever, take your place! Shall I not ever kiss you, or touch your waiting hands, or hear you call my name, so tenderly sweet? Was the last time I saw you the last time? If this be so, then . . . what a cold, cruel world, and life I have stumbled into! Can the world see this loneliness reflected in my eyes or on my face, as I choke back the tears, daily? Do they know my love lost? I think I hide it fairly well! But how much longer must I wait? Is it that . . . I’m so very eager, to hold you once more? Come to me and let me put my arms, around you! Closer . . . that I might fill my lungs, with you! And if I can’t have you, in this night-marish waking state, then to hell with it! Then come to me at night, every night, in my dreams!

Between her voluptuous bosoms of pleasure, caressing mounds of luscious lure, with nipples erect, sweeter than grapes for sure! To taste this fruit is heaven! So pleasing to mine eyes, taste, touch, aroma, and I now breathe heavily! Her hair compliments the reflection of the face of the Most High! So beautiful, wet and warm, is this “soul treasure” A gift from God that, I love and long to partake, and be in heaven, even if for a moment only! And if I could recreate you, I would change nothing! Add, nor take away! The same curves of your body that surrounds this succulent fruit! And . . . God has made no other touch, as pleasing! Verily I tell you that, Gloria 22 David T.

My heart shall never rest, till I hold you, at least, once more! No matter how far away you are! I shall never forget the night, you wanted to hurry home, to be loved, to sleep! Such colossal kisses, enormous wishes . . . and immense longings, for your love! To be intertwined, in your arms divine, as you and I eagerly disrobe! Now the petting . . . and heavy, sweating . . . oh, we’re climbing up the walls! Oh curses . . . its only pictures, in my mind! And back to reality, I find my arms empty, with nothing but aching longings for your love! And nothing, and no one . . . could ever, take your place Gloria! I adore . . . and need your love’s, warm, embrace, more than hope, money, wisdom, dreams or a drink! I need your love! For, when I look into your deep dark eyes, the sun begins to shine, and all about us is a sweet sweet melody! A song so sweet, the blue birds of happiness stop, and listen to the sweet song about us. Her eyes are a pool of calm, and I am bathed in her loving glow! The treasures are abundant, when she embraces me, and I’ve found the pot of gold! And the rainbow’s spectrum bridges, our two hearts! And your, tender full lips, and her kisses . . . and the touch of velvety silk, are one. Unlike any love I’ve ever known before or since then! It’s like thunder! Lightning! The way Lucy excites me! There’s no going back! The world did take on a new glow! But now all is left are clouds . . . dark and dank storm clouds . . . and no one, can ever, take your place! But when

Download or read book Making Witches written by Barbara Rieti and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a little-known tradition of witch lore in Newfoundland culture. Those believed to have the power to influence the fortunes of others are not mythological characters but neighbours, relations, or even friends. Drawing from her own interviews and a wealth of material from the Memorial University Folklore and Language Archive, Barbara Rieti explores the range and depth of Newfoundland witch tradition, looking at why certain people acquired reputations as witches, and why others considered themselves bewitched. The tales that emerge - despite their seemingly fantastic elements of spells and black heart books, hags, and healing charms - concern everyday affairs and reveal the intense social interdependence central to outport life. Frequently featuring women, they provide fascinating new perspectives on female coping strategies in a volatile economy. By addressing the perennial human issues at the heart of witchcraft - construction of enmity and intertwined fate - these narrative accounts also illuminate older witch beliefs revealed in witchcraft trial documents. Making Witches shows that in storytelling communities with a rich legacy of witch lore, witch tradition has endured well into the twentieth century.
