ESL Blogs

A few years ago, I traveled to England from Canada to do a special presentation about MyEC. I talked to hundreds of teachers about how I blog with English learners on EnglishClub. It was a fantastic experience, and many teachers vowed to get their students blogging when they returned to their own countries.

One thing that teachers were really excited about was a concept that we introduced long ago on MyEC: 

No Blog Left Behind

I explained that we (admin, mods, bloggers) do our very best to make sur

After leaving my.englishclub.com a few months ago, I decided to come back, I believe it is the place where I made a considerable improvement in English, thus why staying away from it ?!!!

I'd like to thank EC developers for the HTML editor.

Hi, this blog post seems to be my first writing in here..

Owh, by the way, have you ever thought that talking to other people about something you want them to do is a difficult thing? Instead of doing what you want, other people just give you the opposite. So disappointed, right? Well, perhaps an information below gives you a point of view how to convince someone to do what you want.

There are 2 (two) techniques to convince someone to do what you want. First, is what called The Foot-in-the-door te

It was the autumn of 2007. I was living in Tokyo, as I had got scholarship to study in Japan. I lived at my university's dormitory. It only took 5 minutes by foot to the university. One day, I accidentally lost my room key. I reported it to a tutor. She advised me to go to the international students department office for a new key. However, because of many reasons, I remember I just put it off and lived without a key for a while.

Although everything worked out in the beginning, I soon ran into tr

An American seventeen years old boy was mistakenly shot by a policeman in the USA and died. When the policeman visited the boy's house, the boy had a Wii remote control in his hand. The policeman mistook it for gun and shot him. It's a tragdy. When the policeman realized his mistake, he broke down crying. The boy had joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and his friends say " He was a good guy".
In 1992, a Japanese foreign student was shot to death by a man in the USA. This tragdy was also

During  our life , the winds blow towards us  endless  experiences  which  they  touch  us deeply.

 All  of us  have  experienced  the wind of disappointment ,despair, sorrow,but also the  one  of  happiness,hope and inspiration.

Why ,though  we all  start up  our life travelling by the same ship towards  a  destination , suddenly we realise that the winds have already changed  and each of us  reaches to different  places at the end of the journey.

Merits of a Joint Family

What is considered a family varies in different cultures. In most of the European societies the family is generally considered individualistic, that is parent and children. In Eastern culture family extend well beyond this. Here I intend to discuss the joint family system in Islamic Society as general and in Pakistani and Indian culture in particular.

In our society many joint families have been flourishing, but unfortunately the global economic uncertainty and instability

Hello my friends 

let's solve it 

Are you enjoying the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics? I hope so. Are you satisfied with the performance of the athletes of your country? Do you think it's an opportunity for us to pick up some sports English words while enjoying the games? What's your favourite winter sport?

One more question: Do you think the countries should be ranked by all of their medals or only by the gold ones on the Olympic medal count/table?

Check out the Yahoo medal count and the BBC medal table, you'll find the difference.

Kiev is my native city, it is unique as many other old European  cities. It is used to be called "Mother of all Russian towns" and that is true, because it gave the beginning to the first East Slavic State known as Kiev Russ. For you to know, it was Ukraine that gave birth to Russia without knowing that it was pregnancy with dreadful

Let me share with you my most favorite prayer (Dua) equally famous in India and Pakistan, written by Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, ( 1877 - 1938)  well known as Allama Iqbal. This prayer is chanted/ recited in assembly hall of primary and secondary schools every morning. Someone has nicely translated in English. 

Let's pray it together!

My longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine

 Every child who comes into this world is born in the religion of Nature irrelevant of the religion of his/her parent. But “Can” & “Can’t” “Do’s” & don’ts” chase him from the cradle to the grave. In his infancy he tries to understand the movement of his mother’s finger moving right and left showing “don’t” or “can’t”. For a child is inquisitive of any particular action of which he himself does not know about, but “don’t’” is there before him. When the child gets older
