ESL Blogs

I LIKE TO DREAM WHEN I AM SLEEPING BECAUSE WHEN I DREAM LIKE IRON MAN I CAN FLY WHEREVER I GO AND I FEEL VERY EXCITED. 

I know, I know. Another blog about accents. I searched MyEC and found 52 (or was it 58?) pages related to the keyword 'accent'. Honestly, I did not check them out. Why? I have my reasons, so don't ask! Here are a bunch of different types of accents that fictional characters could be recognized by them:

Slur: an act of speaking indistinctly so that sounds or words run into one another or a tendency to speak in such a way, esp. when someone is tired or drunk

Barney Gumble, well, the belly beer says

"There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says,  - “Morning, boys, how's the water?”     And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes,   -“What the hell is water?”    ~David Foster Wallace.

Study after study shows the single most important factor determining the quality of the education a child receives is the quality of his teacher.

What makes a great teacher? Teaching is one of the most complicated jobs today. It demands broad knowledge of subject matter, curriculum, and standards; enthusiasm, a caring attitude, and a love of learning; knowledge of discipline and classroom management techniques; and a desire to make a difference in the lives of young people. With all these qualiti

Most teachers have little control over school policy or curriculum or choice of texts or special placement of students, but most have a great deal of autonomy inside the classroom. To a degree shared by only a few other occupations, such as police work, public education rests precariously on the skill and virtue of the people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid.

ALLAH (GOD) CREATED HUMAN BEING....... For what Purpose?

Yes, it's an idiom, which means 'there is no limit to something'. 

You can use the idiom to say there is no limit to someone's success or achievement, for example, you can say 'The sky's the limit for anyone who really wants to excel at English'. 

The idiom can be so useful - it depends on how well you get it. You can also use it to say you can write whatever you want or talk about anything you like. 

However, that's not what I'm trying to say. What I mean is how much hard work we need to master En

To all members of MyEC and those who'll join us later:

Recently, I bumped into a status that really hurt my feelings. I don't intend to cause a ruckus and quote the exact words. Seriously, what would be the point? It was a pet peeve about the comments some friends, accent on friends, leave on each other's walls.

Personally, I'm glad that this particular English club is not a 'dating site'. The Terms and Conditions section has made it crystal clear for anyone who thinks otherwise. And it should, na

It is about two years since I come here---EC, after back from traditional Chinese spring festival, now I am in the office, typing something from my brain, however I don't know what can I record, the life is quietly flowing from my never-stopping work steps all the time, the current job makes me sure that time goes by silently and rapidly. When traveling from one city to another for work reason, the feel of a little bit tired of both my body and soul is always along with me.

Treatment:

So far life is there no disease can do any harm (except pain), when life is over, no science of doctors of the entire world can do any thing to bring even a single breath more than the last one exhaled.

But we have been advised besides having faith for good, must try to use every possible treatment to save a life up to the last……..using medicine and any available instrumental treatment. It is also like “pray”. It is hope and faith of having some miraculous results in the form of heavenl

Lions pretend that they are hurt by their cubs' bites in order to encourage them:

Somewhere in the jungle, the mighty jungle: --> (if you don't get it, we can't be friends). ;)

Papa Lion: Aggghhh! Have mercy, you mighty beast!

Junior: Dad, stop it!

Papa Lion: I'm done! I'm dead! So dark, so cold.... Ahhh!

Junior: Dad, for the love of Pete. Jeez...

Papa Lion: Don't forget who you are, Son. FINISH ME!!!

Meanwhile, in the human world:

Junior: Daddy! Daddy! Let's play catch!

Papa Human: Not now, Sonny Boy, n

Unlike most of the other answers here, language itself doesn't really come into it; English is perceived by many people as the universal language because of the former influence of the British Empire and the current influence of American political and economic hegemony.

It is possible to try giving a strictly linguistic explanation; it could be that English is a simple language which is relatively easy to pick up. English has no noun genders, no complicated morphology, no tone system, it is writt

Something was stuck inside my gorge like a clump that resists my breathing, and it feels hard to inflate my chest. I am not well. I know I am not fine. What has brought me to this state?

Yes, Josef Essberger, the founder of both EC and MyEC,  just liked my blog post. That really made my day! What an honour - I do appreciate it!

I still remember it was Josef who invited me to MyEC -  I used to be active in the forums of EC.  Now, I've been so actively involved in MyEC, and really enjoyed being the blog mod(moderator).
