Yes, 'conversational' means casual and informal. Colloquial words and expressions are informal too. You may have noticed the difference between formal style and conversational style. 

You may sound informal as if you're just having a conversation or casual talk with someone. You're trying to convey your thoughts or opinion in an easy, conversational way, which may sound more natural and can be more persuasive or effective. 

Yes, too informal or casual isn't a good idea. For example, if you use suc

There are '2 kinds of people':

-Those who pick to type 'lol' when they want to 'show' that they find something funny.
-Those who pick to type 'haha'.

What 'kind' are you?

I'm the 'haha' kind... and I've always hated to see someone typing 'lol'!! >.>

SURROUNDING

 I am in my bedroom. At the moment, I am sitting on the chair of a computer table and facing computer. My computer table is set near a window. Outside the window, it gives me a view of houses, trees, streets spreading before me and seems to go yonder. The view starts from near to far diminishing the things gradually.  On my left there is the door of the washroom. On my right, my wardrobe is standing. On the left of my behind, I have dressing table while at the back there is my bed by

June 21 -International Yoga Day: The World Bows to Yoga:  

YOGA : LIFE IN BALANCE

It was a boost to the practice of yoga, when our prime minister, Narendra Modi called for the observance of World Yoga Day on June 21st every year in the UN general assembly address. He called it “India’s gift to the world.”

Yoga – The Natural Immunity Booster

Antibiotics and other medicines do help the body recover from the disease but they don’t help improve the body’s immunity. Yoga, perhaps, is one of the most effe

I’m a part of mouth. I’m the one which can make your mouth speaking. I can be defined as language. I spread information which means doing communication. The one who has me should be grateful. You could never miss a day without me. When you have me, but never use me, even just to talk to yourself, you need to go to a psychologist, I guess. Oh, keep trying to use it. :)

When you use me to speak, I can be sharper than knife, I can be softer than wool. I could lead someone become a rough person. I co

A Letter for Bloggers, Commentators, and Readers

Dear all my MyEC friends,,

How are you today? Is everything okay? I hope you are fine and everything is going well. How is your day? Is there something special today? I hope it’s great and wonderful. If you had something special, I’d be glad if you don’t mind to share it here. Here I’m on my long holiday at my parent’s house, my hometown. It’s sure I have so much free time, so I can spend much time for MyEC. BUT, I don’t think so.

Remembering the mon

Hello, I want to put too a little stone in this month’s writing challenge so here is my personal point of view about blogs.

As English learner I should try for the best. As Elen I am a bit lazy with English :D. Tell me take the grammar and read or take the vocabulary and learn new words, it is for me a little torture. I don’t like to push myself to read when I don’t have any serious reason. I will not give exams, so I will not read. I like to learn but not with this way. I like to learn while I l

A PAGE FROM THE BOOK OF MY LIFE

I want to open another page of the book of my life. It is about SAHR. She was very sweet and simple girl. She was introduced to me by my niece to teach her.

There is not anything romantic in this story, but want to show you a different compressed characteristic personality (it is because of our typical society, I assume such things do not occur in European societies).

As I said that she was very simple, but the unusual thing with her was that she frequently asked me

I know, I have problem with some words. And, they are not few. Here, I want to share them with you. Hope, it may help me and you too!

1. Shopping: Is a noun. But, It is really a tricky word  to use  in the right way. I did many mistakes with it. But, now I know, I have to say, I am going  shopping within 10 minutes. I did shopping yesterday. I like shopping very much! I am going to do some shopping. And, I am going to shop some fruits.

2. Too : There is a difference between too and so. I did this

I begin with an excerpt from my favourite book “The Little Prince”

“ What does that mean--'tame'? It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. “ It means to establish ties. “  "Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need eac

 INTELLIGENCE BY NATURE OR NURTURE

Every child is born with god gifted instinctive intelligence. He has natural inborn tendency to behave in a certain way without reasoning or training. He has the sense that makes him choose to act in a particular way. When he sees his mother’s face, he smiles.  He has the intelligence to recognize his mother. He feels the warmth of his mother’s love. He cries when he feels pain or hunger. When his stomach is full, he turns his face away from milk. Similarly, a c

Hello everyone!

What will cross your mind when you hear about train? It is long, fully loaded, has iron tires, and forth. Sometimes a train need to cross a highway, when this happens, someone need to close a gate to stop vehicles on that way, like it or not, they shall let the train pass first. Why? Because the train is fast and heavy loaded cannot be stopped as easy as another little vehicles. Maybe… oh wait! Check out it railway, train has its own track. The track is tinier than usual road used

In its very heart lies the holy city of temple and shrines "Kathmandu Durbar Square" Often called as "Basantapur"."OYE KAHA VETNE????" ( Where shall we meet??), when my friends used to ask this, we used to have same answer "Basantapur!!!!!" our favorite junction to meet.

And by-chance today, I reached the same place after 2 months of devastating earthquake. As I entered the premises of Basantapur, I was shock

Once upont a time, a fish who lived in a little pool where nobody know and he had a huge dream that was to fly in the sky, so he made friends with a bird. However, the bird hated to be wet so they just talked and shared their life experience between the natural barrier of the water.

At first, the fish was so excited because the bird always talked something that the fish never experienced, which made the fish more eager to have a flying experience. And the bird also liked the life of the fish, so

Hi, travelers and those who have the intention to do it. 

Summer has come and it means that the vacation time is going to its top. I decided to make a small vacation rehearsal on the past weekend and I went to Bremen. So lemme tell you about this short trip and share my photos of this city. I guess some details will be useful for those who is going there in the nearest future. 

So, let's begin our story (as usual, all photos are taken by me).

Happy Ramadan,,, Hope all have a nice Ramadan this year and hope God make our wishes come true in this month...

For more information about Ramadan, visit the link blessed Ramadan on the home page of EC.

This is something we all know but we should remember everyday. We have to change things: how we consume, how we produce, how we live...   The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Let's now to scale that to 46 years:

- We have been here for 4 hours.
- Our industrial revolution began 1 minute ago.
- In that time, we have destroyed more than 50% of the world's forest (50%!!!)
