Helicopter without pilots

For the first time, a military helicopter flew without pilots. There were two flights on Saturday and Monday, and they lasted about 30 minutes. There were no passengers on board.

Engineers installed a special technology in the helicopter which made it possible to fly without pilots. The Black Hawk helicopter flew through a simulated city, and then it landed perfectly at Fort Campbell, US.

This technology helps pilots to focus on missions instead of flying helicopters. They fly in many types of weather, at night, and when they can’t see very well. The military hopes that it will make missions more successful.

How to say what’s your name? in Thai

First of all, let’s learn some vocabulary

what = a-rai
Is  = kue
your = khong khun
name = chue

To translate directly from English to Thai, we will have the sentence like
“chue khong khun kue a-rai”
Well, this is not wrong , you will still get the answer from the listener.
But to speak in the same way as Thai native speakers, we don’t use that sentence. 
To ask for someone’s name, we will simply say

khun chue a-rai

literally means “You Name What”

The same thing goes  with “surname”.

Surname or last name , in Thai we say “naam sa gun”

Now , can you tell me how to ask “What’s your surname?”.
I give 3 seconds to think.  3 … 2 …. 1 
time’s up. Yes, you’re right. 
The answer is
khun naam sa gun a-rai

When you answer these questions, you can simply tell your name or surname straightaway.

"Моя "она" А.П. Чехов

Halloween is a fun and spooky holiday that people celebrate on October 31st each year. But do you know where it comes from, and why we wear scary costumes? Let's explore the history of Halloween and costumes!
Halloween started a very long time ago, around 2,000 years ago. It began with an ancient Celtic festival called "Samhain" (pronounced sah-win). The Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. Samhain was a special time when they celebrated the end of summer and the beginning of winter.
The Celts believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead was very thin. They thought that the spirits of the dead could come back to Earth on this night. Some people were afraid of these ghosts, so they dressed up in costumes to hide from them. They also lit bonfires to scare the ghosts away.
In the 8th century, the Christian church started a holiday called "All Saints' Day" on November 1st. It was a day to remember and honor all the saints. The night before, on October 31st, became known as "All Hallows' Eve," which later turned into "Halloween."
Over time, Halloween came to America with immigrants from different countries. People brought their own customs and traditions, and Halloween became a mix of all these traditions. One of these traditions was dressing up in costumes, which became a big part of Halloween.
Today, Halloween is a day for fun and creativity. People of all ages wear costumes, but the costumes are not just scary. You can be anything you want – a superhero, a princess, a witch, or even a funny animal. People also go trick-or-treating, where kids dress up in costumes and go door to door asking for sweets.
So, when you see people in scary costumes on Halloween, remember that it all began with the Celts who wanted to protect themselves from ghosts. Now, Halloween is a time for everyone to enjoy dressing up and having a spooky good time.
