Dear all Britpop fans. Today I want to share how much this band has influenced me so I am inspired to work as an EFL teacher and an indie writer in my wattpad

This afternoon my Mum cooked me crepes and I ate it with orange jam. Before my Dad ended our discussion about politic in our country, I prepared my teaching references to be sent to a local newspaper in my city.

Who mostly supports me in this band? I would say all because these lads are genious and have differ

Have you ever heard of Natural family planning or you have no clue, what does it stand for? Let me bring up this topic as I consider it something very important and also kind of compromising, when it comes to rejecting birth control pills or using other methods thanks to the religious, health or other issues.

Well, firstly let me tell you that natural family planning is here from two reasons. First one - to find the best days woman can get pregnant, second one - to avoid days woman can get pregna

Years ago, I took a correspondence course. I don’t even remember the school that offered it. I only knew that I had to get the course in, in order to graduate on time, and I couldn’t fit it into my class schedule. It was the worst educational experience of my life, bar none. I paid for the course, received the textbook and syllabus in the mail, and began to complete the reading and writing assignments. It was boring, arduous, and a test of endurance. What’s more, I waited days and days for any f

Yes, you can say "English is easy to learn." or "It's easy for us to learn English.", but you don't say "We are easy to learn or learn English."

You can use this structure if the subject of the sentence is also the object of the infinitive. So, you can say "He is easy to please." or "The book is difficult to read."

The adjective 'impossible' can be so tricky too, for example, you don't say "She is impossible to do that" - because 'she' is also the subject of the infinitive 'to do'. 

I hope I've mad

Have you heard about Nick lately? ‘Who’s Nick?’ you might ask. Well, did you know that ‘nick’ is not just a name of a person or a pet? This word is actually used in English phrases and expressions.

I’ve heard this term occasionally and thought of blogging about it. So without further ado, here are some common idioms and expressions about ‘nick’.

In good nick

It is a slang which means that something is in good condition especially if it’s old but still looks good. It’s an authentic colloquial Britis

The heart of an angel

If you win an angel's heart, never try to lie
he find out the truth and his trust will die.

If you hurt an angel's heart and he says goodbye,
you will beg him to forgive and he agrees to stay.

If you start to be too sure and you lose your path
then you start to lie again, you don't expect his wrath.

Angel's heart can be hurt and his soul can bleed.
You don't see it while you care only for YOUR need.

You are sure the angel's heart always will forgive.
but before his win

The lady took her niece's hand and ushered her to sit next to her. She was in her late fifties. Her hair was gray and there were some wrinkles under her eyelids,  despite all that, she looked firm and commanding. She was rich, famous and powerful. Her husband died ten years ago leaving her no kids but a great fortune. She has been managing this for a long time. The companies that deal with the petrol were more than five major ones. Two in America, one was in Britain. For the  other two companies

This week I attended a big event that is called: The Amsterdam Produce Show. This show is organised in different places: New York and London. This year was the first year that it took place in Amsterdam.

It was a pleasure that I could attend this event and I learnt many things during this show. This show took 3 days long. Every day, it started since the morning and ended in the late afternoon.

I belonged to the Peruvian delegation. The Trade Commission of Peru in the Netherlands picked me up at th

Aloha lovely EC people!

Yes! I'm blogging again! Because after reading a couple of comments in my previous blog (Picture of the day and movie for the weekend) I've been thinkin' that it could be a very nice thing to flood EC with pictures of sunsets and/or sunrises! Weeeeee! ^_^

My dear friends! I know you all like posting blogs sending some positive meaningful messages. So, I propose you to train here. It is not that easy to write a good parable or a fable. First, it should be laconic but each phrase must be very meaningful. Like any story, it should have a plot, a culmination and, in this genre, some conclusion, moral and it is the main. In any fable or parable the last sentence is the most principle. Sure, you can retell the stories you know or write your own and it

Aloha EC ladies and gentlemen!

When was the last time you enjoyed a sunset or a dawn? (which one do you prefer?)

A beautiful and easy thing to do, isn't it?
It's one of these little things we all can do to bring us a smile. And it just takes few minutes! A short break from our super-busy-daily-routine-full-of-important-things-to-do :P

Anyway, apart from bothering you with sunsets and dawns talk, I wanna share a very interesting documentary film that was released just few days ago (October 21)

I've recently been working in a consulting room - in the VIP outpatient clinic of a hospital in China. Most of the patients in the VIP clinic are from other countries and can't speak Chinese. Thankfully, most of them speak English and bring a smartphone - that really helps.

Usually, patients have already searched their symptoms on the Internet with their smartphone before they go to see a doctor. That is, they'll go to hospital with in mind all of the relative medical English terms or terminologi

Do you like learning English expressions?  They are everywhere! Some of you might have noticed that I incorporated some expressions and idioms on my blogs, photos and discussions as part of vocabulary learning practice. Being aware to using them would make our English sound more natural. In addition, native speakers use them in their daily conversations, right? Just be mindful not to use them in academic writing because they are mostly informal. But if you want to learn today’s expression, keep

English essays are a major headache source for many college students. Writing an essay for a class requires you to have an exceptional command of the English language. It's not just your skills and ideas that are undergoing evaluation. You must also edit, organize and present your paper in a way that portrays your point of view in a way that clearly presents your thoughts. Luckily for you, there are several online services and programs you can use to help you self-edit and learn how to write int

After I have caused you a brain-ache thinking about the previous problem, I would like today to tell you a little story from life about how we can use our brain-ache facing similar and real life issues in order to be more able to overcome and solve them..  

We have been always told that the person who is undergoing a problem can't evaluate the situation as thoroughly as an exterior observer can. For example, try to sit near to two persons playing chess and watch their steps. In many cases, you wi

If you could share with me how the Police officers reprimand the traffic violators in your country ? A penalty in terms of fines charged to traffic violators is outdated, so share me with any fresh ideas.
