ESL Blogs

In one of my previous blog entires; I mentioned Peanuts comics and appreciated Charles M. Schulz's brilliant work. This blog is dedicated to Bill Watterson who is a heap of awesomeness on legs! Actually, my old collections of Calvin and Hobbes were kinda my bedtime stories during childhood. As a kid, I wasn't a big fan of fairy tales. No wonder I turned into a realist now. A disturbingly cynical one!

Whenever I flip through the pages, I keep telling myself, "It's just a quick look. You're just go

As a student, I need to study English just to understand what is written on the books particularly in all learning areas books except in Filipino. I need to learn more on how or when to use the nine parts of speech, on how to pronounce the word correctly and to understand my teacher during class discussion. Because my teachers now a days use English language when they communicating or talking to us (students) even in in and out of our classroom. English also is an international language. It is t

Actually the first poem is related to H. Mosadegh, and several years later, F. Farokhzad have rimed the second one to reply to H. Mosadegh's poem !!

In the mid-1950s, humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow created a theory of basic, psychologic

I'm the eye of your storm
Your lion’s roar
On the battlefield
My Love will be your shield

My weird smirk was no more a strange thing to my little brother. With an amusing look, his eyes threw me unspoken question I didn’t need any word to answer. Just a demure smile and he took it as “I’ve got a new guy”.

“Another ailurophile?”

“Nah, but he has a dog”

No cause for alarm
I will come to arms
The world could fall
We'd still be standing tall

It never came to my mind I would be attracted to a comely pe

Money causes teenagers to feel stress. It makes them feel bad about themselves and envy other people. My friend, for instance, lives with her family and has to share a room with her sister, who is very cute and intelligent. This girl wishes she could have her own room and have a lot of stuff, but she can’t have these things because her family doesn’t have much money. Her family’s income is pretty low because her father is old and doesn’t go to work. Her sister is the only one who works. Because

(Why Do People Lie?)
One reason people lie is to achieve personal power. Achieving personal power is helpful for someone who pretends to be more confident than he really is. For example, one of my friends threw a party at his house last month. He asked me to come to his party and bring a date. However, I didn’t have a girlfriend. One of my other friends, who had a date to go to the party with, asked me about my date. I didn’t want to be embarrassed, so I claimed that I had a lot of work to do. I

Father was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job. Except for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best money could buy.

Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned th

Loneliness

Whenever I feel lonely,

My loneliness try to tell me

Listen,

Dear You are not lonely...

Your PARENTS is here,

To guide you,

To fulfill your wishes,

To  protect you...

Your SIBLINGS are here,

To take care of you,

To tease you...

Your RELATIVES are here,

For helping you,

For giving you company in your difficult time...

Your FRIENDS are here,

To make your life colorful,

To motivate you...

Your PARTNER is here,

To make you complete,

To make you special..

So then I smile and reply back to my loneliness..

Oh yea

Yes, 'gave you away' means 'showed something about you that was a secret'. 

Some members here on MyEC keep copying other's writing from the Internet instead of writing their own. They might have wanted to share what they thought was worth sharing, or they might have tried to fool us into believing the blog was written by themselves.

Idioms are the colorful aspect of any language. Using them as a non-native speaker, makes your speech less awkward. But remember, never translate them word-for-word (literally) into your native language. Do that and you'll get all topsy-turvy! Now, now, don't panic! Using them is quite delightful if you get the hang of it. It'll be fun and you'll enjoy speaking English much more.

I was standing in our balcony last night with my parents and the moon is so very cool and the wind produced a rhythm like a whistle and I feel so very happy because that time we drink ice tea and suddenly I saw something like a falling star, so I asked my father about the falling star because I thought that the star is bigger than earth and what happen for us if the star falling down on earth. My father answered and he said it was a comet. He didn't explain it to me what is comet but instead he
