Selected question: What do you think is the best section in EC that has made your English learning improved? Why?

My answer:

Undoubtedly, the coolest section of MyEC is blogs. Here, we can put to the test what we know about the English language in words.

It's very important to practise writing very often, because it shows how wide our vocabulary is at a specific point of the learning journey. And when you have an environment specially thought for the writing purpose it is even better. You know, thi

Good luck sleeping tonight!!!


I have always had a knack of reading horror stories, especially when I'm alone in my room with no lights on.

Watching horror movies doesn't activate your imagination as the books do, because the cast and crew have already imagined the worst nightmare possible for you. Here are some one-liner horror stories that I've read so far:

The Saddest Short Story

Ernest Hemingway, was one of the American novelists, who left behind an impressive body of work and an iconic style of writing. Aside from his novels like "A Farewell to Arms", "The Sun Also Rises", "The Old Man and the Sea", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", etc., he was also famous for his short stories. 

One of his friends mentioned a story about Hemingway's get-together with his close friends in a bar. They challenged each other to write the saddest, shortest story that they could improvise at once.

When i see the stars, I stare...The sun, I glare...Sometimes I wonder how impetuous I am to imagine and dare.

to hold you high above the clouds in my hands, and sigh at the thought of your sight.

Just wonder why I imagine the rain falling into shards of infinity upon my spirit.

You walked away, and even if it's a little hard to say....The one of very few thoughts I cannot help, but see, is....you

Sweet dreaming

It was dark late night, an open window invited inside the specious bedroom cold fresh air, which was giving her little bit of energy. She was tired, nevertheless her tiredness wasn't anything annoying, but sweet mixed feeling of being exhausted, sleepy and happy in one. In fact she was eagerly waiting for the only one - to disappear somewhere, no matter where. She closed her eyes without slight idea, which game will her mind choose to play tonight. She felt her soul was nearly free and that was

My dream of life

After I graduated from university I started to learn english but I never kept going  I always ended up disappointed. I had do many things l bought many books to learn english , I saw so many videos about english, I joined many forums for English learners ... etc

Unfortunately after three years regardless of all my effort I didn't see any noticeable development in my language 

I started to think that I'm not able to master any language because  i just don't have ability to do that. I was really

Hello, people of the world. 

Traditionally I write blogs after my trips so I'm doing it right now. In January 2016 I decided to go back to Bremen (Germany).

NB: as usual, all photos are taken by me :) 

My previous trip to this cosy German city in summer is here: http://www.myenglishclub.com/profiles/blogs/opening-this-world-bremen-2015-germany

Winter Bremen looks like a fairy tale from Grimm Brothers' books. It's a pity that it was only for on day and then it melted. So I was lucky to take all those

Oh gosh, it is on the tip of my tongue!

Note: I do not own these definitions.

They are totally made-up phrases, yet ridiculously accurate.

Next time you forgot these words, use these definitions.
Just kidding...
Don't do that. The only purpose is to have some fun with words. Can you think of any?

Weekend Laugh

First and foremost, this collection of courts' transcripts is definitely not mine. This collection was shared through the Facebook. Apparently it was copied from a book called Disorder in the Courts by Charles M. Sevilla. These conversations or interrogations by the lawyers/attorneys towards the witnesses sound too ridiculous that they could only be real. These transcripts were taken words for words by the court reports. 

So, I hope this collection of courts' transcripts can brighten your weekend

“Ok we should examine this by visiting your friend and mine and put some problem before them to help us out” The father suggested.

“In the middle of night?” The son said hesitatingly.

“Yes this is the exact time to test their frien
