Hi again everyone,
I wrote the first blog of MyEC in 2025 about two days ago. As nobody has written the second blog since then, I decided to do that myself. So here it is.
I don't have anything in particular to write about on my mind. Should I write a piece of fiction or some poetry? Honestly speaking, poetry is not my cup of tea, and I'm not good at writing fiction. I really love to read fiction, though. Are you a fiction writer or a poet?
By the way, is there any native speaker who can help me w
As the topic says, I am going to write a tip about translating the pronoun in English to Chinese properly. Here is an example sentence: "The poems really come to life when they are recited." It is clear to read it in English. We all know that the function of the pronoun is to replace a repeat ed noun. The pronoun "they" in the sentence refers to "poems". But in Chinese, we usually use "poems" directly instead of "they". So the formal translation of the Chinese version is "当人们朗诵诗歌的时候，诗歌才真正活起来。"

We never expected that we are going to face this kind of challenge; to be separated with one another, to stop everything that we are doing and to do nothing but to stay at home. It is a heart breaking experience not to go outside and do the things that you love to do. This pandemic gives us different realizations about life. With that I would like to share with you the things that I have realized with our current situation. And I hope that these things will somehow help you for your future plan

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.
I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died.
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!
I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.
I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.
But it was High up there! It

Wonderful poem and nursery rhymes dating back to 19th century England. It's rhyming will take a toll on your pronunciation skills. Do give it a try.

Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,

Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,

Of late I have been listening a great deal of music. During lockdown it has proved to be my savior- a Knight in shining armor. Unimaginable, how I would have survived staying in without melody. Thought I should shed light on what role music plays in our lives. Although there are many pros of listening music, I will be focusing on its transcendence in English learning.
First of all we need to take cognizance that music is not just playing of different instruments in a synchronized manner so that

Hi friend
Do you know me?
I know you know me
But you often times ignore me.
I am your friend
A really good friend
I can make things clearly
If you just visit me.
I am always here to guide you
Willing to give everything that you need,
Because I am your friend and I will never leave you.
Remember those times
That you have difficulties
In understanding words, I guide you
Remember those times
That you have difficulties
In pronouncing the words, I teach you
And remember
