Did you notice this month's writing challenge? Every month, Tara(the admin of MyEC) will post a writing challenge for all of the learners here to practice their English writing skills. Most of the members may find it interesting or helpful while some may find it so daunting.

Most of us know about hand puller rickshaw. It is a mode of human powered transport by which a runner draws a two - wheeled cart which seats one or two people.
Around 1880, hand puller rickshaw appeared in India, first time in Shimla. And then later introduced in Kolkata (Calcutta, India).
Though, in recent times the use of human powered rickshaw has been discouraged or outlawed in many countries due to concern for the welfare of rickshaw workers and have been replaced by cycle and auto rickshaw.

This coming 31st August 2014, we Malaysians are 57 years old. Well, actually the country is much older than that, if taking into consideration that one of the oldest rainforests (130 millions years old) is in Malaysia, but it is 57 years of independence from the British rules. In the spirit of being independent, I want to share with all of you something unique, weird and quirky about Malaysians. In fact I've written a similar subject in my previous blog; Only In Malaysia, but in this blog I want
Pollution is now one of the world's biggest problems, especially in developing countries, such as China. The economic growth may be to blame. With the rapid economic growth, China is now the second largest economy in the world, and at the same time pollution, a byproduct of the development, has accompanied the growth to come. People are now so familiar with the environmental pollution, such as air or water pollution - the sky is no longer blue; the rivers aren't clear any more.

This is a site whose aim is to help us learning English , so it is supposed that we are just for the sake of learning English and nothing more.Therefore, we are not here to make friendship , even though it can happen.So, we are not obliged to give much more attention to the people we talk to either their names, age,family members, job or any personal details especially if we dont like to talk about it.The problem is that many people dont appreciate that privacy we want to have.
Yesterday my best friend said that he was so proud of himself that he had way more friends than me; it is true that I just have a few friends, five or six or so.

However, I am so glad that they are still remember me and it seems that our relationship are strong enough to pass the time, maybe you will ask why I am so confident with myself. The
Dear Captain,
I woke up early this morning. When I was checking my mailbox, I read a strange email. In the email, a man called Markus asked me to save him.
I was stunned. I am sure I don't know him. But I can feel his poor situation. He claimed he was controlled by an iron lady. But captain, how come? He is not a kid rather than an adult man. And I don't understand why he wrote to me. What can I do to help him? Am I a heroine?
To be honest, I am worried about him. Anyway freedom is such a precious
This summer Russian Duma (i.e.,parliament) has issued some mind-boggling edicts banning manufacturing, import, sale and wear of lacy underwear, high-heeled and heeless footwear on the territory of the Customs Union. What does it mean? Back to the USSR or clinical insaness? Is it nostalgia for the past (on the left) or Kremlin wants to dress Russia in the uniform (brown color with the swastika will be the best choice!)?
Is it really possible for any government to interfere in private life of its
