ESL Blogs

This is my 30th blog this month, which means I've reached my goal for this month's writing challenge. Yes, I've never thought I can write so many blogs in a month. That's why we need to be challenged, inspired, encouraged or motivated. 

I thank Tara for the June Blogathon

Every month Tara creates a writing challenge for us to write about. This month's challenge is different, though. She is actually motivating us to reach a goal or break a record - 580 blogs a month, which sounds so daunting and is

That time was really very awesome. When I was schooling the Ramadan performed in winter season. I was living in very populated area in Chittagong. We have a competition for performing of fasting in Ramadan. About 10-12 hours we had to fasting that time but we did not feel a little bit tiredness that time. That time we did not know that what is thirstiness. Sometimes my parents did not awake me for Sehri (Mid night meal for fasting).  When they did not waked up me then I was so angry with them. A

It's Sunday today. We have a long weekend here - we don't have to work at/on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). So I should make the most of this weekend.

My goal is to write five blogs today. My goal for this month is to publish 30 blogs, though. I'm not sure if I can find time to write on a weekday, so why not try to write a few more blogs today. 

In fact, I write most blogs on weekends since I have more spare time to write. I usually read and write blogs at night on weekdays (after work). I've enj

You may have noticed that so many blogs have been published this month. Yes, we're trying to break a record - 580 blogs a month. 

Our real goal is not just to break the record, though. We're challenge ourselves to write as many blogs as possible. It makes sense since we need more writing practice if we really want to improve. Such an intensive writing training can be so useful in sharpening our writing skills. 

Yes, there are already a lot of blogs for the blogging challenge, which doesn't really

A dialogue between Husband and Wife

Wife: Stop watching television! I have to talk to you.
Husband: I'm listening to you.
Wife: No, I want you to turn it off and look at me.
Husband: Okay. It's off--I am looking at you. What's going on?
Wife: Did you see what the baby did? I told to watch her.
Husband: I didn't see. What happened?
Wife: Just look at this mess! She poured milk all over the floor.
Husband: I'm sorry. I was watching her, I promise. But I was also watching television at the same time. But n

Then, what's an idiom? An idiom is a group of words whose meaning is different from the meaning of the individual words. 

There are a large number of idioms in English. Some of them are used more often than others. It can be a good idea to use some idioms in your writing. Sometimes only an idiom can convey what you really want to say, especially when you're desperate to hit the nail on the head. 

Idioms with 'wall' are just such useful idioms, such as 'drive/send somebody up the wall', 'climb the

Yes, It may sound as if we were cramming for an English test. We're trying to cram all of that in such a short peroid of time. 

We've been so busy reading, writing like there's no tomorrow.  Never before has a month seen so many blogs published for a writing challenge. No wonder you may ask 'What are you doing here, guys?'

It may not just sound like an intensive training - it's actually one. We've learned a lot and improved so much both in writing and in reading, which proves that there's no such

A story from the memory of school days:

Haste Makes Waste:

A hunter had a faithful hound.  The hound always went with his master when he set out hunting.  The hunter had only one son, two whom the hound was also closed.

One day the hunter went to a nearby village for some running errands.  He left the hound at home to guard his son.  When he came back he found his hound standing at the gate.  His mouth was stained with blood.  The hunter got conscious, he thought that the hound had killed his only

I've just kept blogging, reading, and commenting for the past tens of days. Yes, I must have bitten off more than I can chew:))

I must be a bit crazy - it seems whenever I have time, I come here to read, to blog, or to comment. I've never been so busy typing on the computer. Even my wife has noticed the change. She had no idea what really happened, but was so sure there must be something very unusual which made me do that like a nut, until I told her we were trying to break a record. 

Maybe not ju

I think blogging is useful for everyone; reader  and writer both.. for writer it is big challenge to write something new in his/her own words. Blogging have many advantages toward both writer and reader.

I do not consider myself a writer:

I do not consider myself a writer, but nor a beginner in English. Of course, I am a LEARNER. Learning has no age limit. It continues from cradle to grave. I am a READER. I read, I read everything and try to keep good points in my memory and utilize them whenever I need. We learn from our observations. By the way have you read my blog Weather” In this blog I used a touch of "Sufism". Please read it. If need any explanation let me know I will do my best to explain

A Popular Restaurant of my City:

There are several restaurants in our city. They all are neat and clean, but the one I like is (Gloria). It is beautifully designed and its foods are very delicious.  We all like to eat in this restaurant. It is not very large restaurant, but everything is nicely arranged to attract the customers. Its setting has native as well modern touch. The owner of the restaurant is very rich, but he looks after the restaurant very attentively at the same time also works with

Running Errands

There was a marriage ceremony of one of our dealer's sons, which was held in Hyderabad. The dealer is one of our top dealers, for his turnover of our product is the highest. Therefore, representation of our company was a must, so I had been instructed to attend the ceremony. The ceremony was to start in the evening, but I had to reach the city in the morning because my boss also assigned some other work to take care of in the city at the same time. With the other work required to

True Friendship

For various moral, psychological and social reasons, people need good company and close friendship. The type of friends you have often indicates the type of person you are. 'Show me your friends and I will tell you what you are,' says the well-known proverb.

The friendship is always made on the basis of similar frequencies. It usually based on giving and taking. equally, but when it become for a person just to give and does not expect, then it become close friendship and when compl

I've published 23 blogs this month. I promised to publish at least two blogs when I first left a comment on Tara's June blogging challenge - I never thought I could publish so many blogs in a month. 

Yes, it's the challenge that has inspired me to write so many blogs. Maybe everyone needs to be inspired or encouraged to make a difference. I still remember it was Josef, the founder, who invited me to join MyEC, and it's Tara, our admin, who has motivated me to try my best to help make MyEC a pleas

There are only a few days to go until the deadline. While we're sprinting to the finish line, some of our active members are still absent from this month's writing challenge, which is also dubbed as 'June Blogathon'.

We're bound to break the record (be it 460 or 580 blogs a month), statistically or actually. It is, however, a pity that some of our active members have failed to publish a blog for this month's blogging challenge. They may regret it when it's too late for them to post a blog for the

Once there was a doctor.  He had an assistant.  Whenever a patient came to the doctor the assistant used to observe him carefully.    One day the doctor was visiting an ailing friend to check him at his house.  He took the assistant with him.  When he was leaving his friend after checking, the friend asked him whether he can do anything with his camel, which has swallowed a whole melon which stuck in its throat.  “Ok, let me see, what I
