Love makes people’s life prettier but it doesn’t mean that people cannot live a beautiful life without love. A happy marriage is considered as the best result of a pretty love, but nowadays, more and more people are getting married later than before, why? There are some reasons to answer to this question.

First, people are getting busier and busier with their modern life and works. The society is developing days by days so that people have to move forward, work and re-new themselves more and more

The Chinese words here really mean: dried vegetables.

For Chinese characters， we have mainly 4 tones for almost each of characters. Different tones for different meaning. The first character shown above in the picture should be pronounced in the first tone. The English translation here obviously ignored this key point. And, to be honest, even though the first chinese character were pronounced in the forth tone, here it couldn't be translated to "F**k", because this meaning only goes for dirty wor

I love my native city Budapest, which is very cosmopolitan involving tourists and citizens from all over the world. It is similar to ESL, you know. I have been going to the same shopkeeper for a long time because his shop sells cheeper and there is a great choice of goods. The customers call him as 'our Chinese shopkeeper' or 'Uncle Steve' although I don't think Steven would be his real first name.

One day just before Beijing Olympic games I went to him and asked, 'Do you think China will win the

Be passionate
You have to have a passion for what you are doing if you want to build enthusiasm for it. You need to be excited about it as you wake up in the morning and as you go to bed at night. This passion is what will keep your enthusiasm high, Simply put, love what you do

Be grateful
One of the ways that I build my enthusiasm with my work and my business is that I always remind myself everything that it has given me. I express gratitude for all that I have and

I don't remember when I cried for the nearest time. But today Emmy made my tears roll out of my eyes. She also rang a bell of an unpleasant memory of my childhood.

It was a windy but warm day. The enticing scene which Jack and Jill enjoying their nice afternoon outside the houses lured her and me away from our door. Once we reached the verdant park, Emmy acted like a bird who had just got its freedom from the stifling cage. She jumped and ran here and there happily and energetically.

Rome: 19-22.Oct 2013

In that weekend I visited Rome, it was a very nice experience:)

First, when we arrived there, the image was not very friendly....you can see

It took us two ours to arrive at our hotel(Artis)

After that we went to eat something in a little mall. It was ok.

Sunday morning we visited Colosseum. I liked it very, very much.

Iit is amazing how in that period (88 is the year) the people  built something so strong, so smart, so durable.

I had a nice message from Mahgol and like to share it with you all here:

Its quite hard to realize that people will welcome you when they need you. And when they are better, the want you gone!And its horrible to feel that they don't want you around :(

I have a private student who indends to emigrate into Britain. She is 35 now and a tailor in Budapest, Hungary. Her English knowledge improves fast. One day I asked her to repeat one of the units. She said, 'I should repeat all my life'.

What kind of messages shall I send to the cyber space?

I have been taking part in ESL chat since 2005 and I have enjoyed its universal atmoshpere. So I'll write my favourite stories that can be taken into all over the world not considering asl, you know. They may be foolish or wise, give them some minutes, please.

To hate tears and sadness will not protect you from being sad and shedding lots of tears..

To keep smiling and spreading love will not immerse you in a happiness..

To fight against injustices and conquer will not provide you with your freedom or rights..

To say or write these words doesn't mean encouraging you to love tears, stop smiling or give up fighting against your rights... It's said to be aware ...

Life will not give you what you are asking for so hold your sadness and keep going on strongly.

Interesting Facts in Easy English: Bats Aren't Blind

Discussion Question: Only a small amount of people are bitten by bats each year, while thousands of people are bitten by dogs. Why are so many people terrified of bats?

  I think the responsible for such big fear  is undoubtedly the film industry. Even though, most of bittens are caused by dogs, the "bad reputation" of bats is  so ingrained among humans due to the strong anti-bat advertisements made by the film world along years.

  Most of us, co

 Listen To News: Last Bullfight In Catalonia ~ 27 September 2011

Discussion Question: Despite the 180,000 signatures from people who call bullfighting cruel, one fan compared closing the Barcelona arena to "throwing a Picasso painting into garbage". What do you think about this comparison?

  The Barcelona Arena and the bullfighting practice can even  be a Picasso painting in the fan's opinion, that is,  so important  cultural figures for the Spanish identity but the bullfighting certainly is not i

Perhaps I should send messages into the cyber space. But will I get any answers?

HAPPY DIWALI TO ALL THE EC MEMBERS 

EC blog part is one of my favorite parts on this site and I have benefited from it. It offers us learners a good chance to practice our writing. Writing is no doubt a useful method to test your words and expressions. It is also a fine platform to share your sparkling ideas with the others.

The blog part is of various advantages yet there exist its flaws. One of the flaws is about the correction part which some members have considered before. I also have been thinking about this issue for a long w

I have always been in love with watching movie related to the space or science. Latest movie that i have watched related to it is "Gravity", acted by two famous stars, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. I always wonder if i can even feel to be in the space, feel the zero-gravity impact then fly around, it would be such unprecedented experiences for me. When i was kid, i had so many dreams and one of them was being an "astronout", then the only thing i was after was how i could go up there and la

This topic is no longer new or surprising thing to talk about, many of you pernaps, have been acquired an information which said that listening to classical music could be one of good reason to make your brain smarter. This statement remains not very fundamentally working, but a kind of research has ever been revealed that a group of people whose particular period of time to get used to listen to Mozart's music can have better thinking in certain ways.
