ESL Blogs

Do you like reading news or making audio recordings for MyEC? Why don't you join our latest video challenge?

For our new activity, I would like to invite you to make a video of yourself reading one of the news from MyEC feed. The news are recorded by our admin, Tara Benwell. You can listen in the way she pronounced and narrated the news. This would help you to be familiar with tone and inflection.

Practicing reading in front of the camera would help us gain self-confidence and improve our speaking

Hi, guys!

It’s nice to talk to you all once again. I’ve a question for you this time! Are you one of those EC members who would go to any extent to improve his/her pronunciation?

Well! I published a blog about spelling bee a week ago. I gave 26 difficult pronunciations. To my pleasant surprise, the girls (Noaslpls, Yupa, Hala, Galina and Anty) found all the 26 related written words with ease. 

Now I would like to invite you to pronounce the words they found. All you have to do is simply

We must take our hats off to all the spambusters who've helped to make MyEC a pleasent place. They are active members here. They read all the blogs by other members and always try to leave a comment on what they just read. When they find an inappropriate blog by a spammer, they will try to go to the spammer's page and click "Report Member", and they will warn other members of the spammer. I really appreciate the excellent job our spambusters have done so far.

     difficult  thing  to be is  what other  people  want you to be. Don't  let them put you in that position.

Everyone has their own goals that they want to achieve. It can be for a long time goals or the short ones. Sometimes we feel so eager to do all of the steps based on the strategy that we've made, but as human we feel so bored for doing the same activity all the time. The boredom also the factor that discourage ourselves to do anything. Perhaps when the boredom come to me I often against it by listening to the song which can burn my motivation such as "It's the climb" song by Hannah Montana. this

I don't crave fame

I crave myself

I want to be myself

not someone's image

I want my freedom

and not be bound by any expectation

It would be nice

If the next time someone visits,

and leaves a smile...

I'm more than welcome to know him/her...

And to those who already know me

Thanks for the memories

It helps me grow up

Whatever you think,

I'm wishing the best for you

Be confident! Be yourself! Okay!! Believe in your potential! 

Smile, and be happy!

Get ready too. Don't be nervous please! What comes will come!

This is another famous fable among children. It is a story about the crow and the peacock. 

The Story of a Crow and a Peacock

Once upon a time, in the deep jungle, a crow and a peacock were the very best of friends. During that time, both of them were just plain white birds. They will scavenge for their food together, play together, and even build their nests next to each other.

One day, while both of them were looking for food near the border of a village, the Crow suddenly stumbled upon a bucket

Hello friends!

It's been quite a long while since I haven't had written a blog on MyEC. When I was preparing for my exam a few weeks ago, I had lots of ideas to blog. However, the moment I logged into MyEC after my exam, all seemed to vanish into thin air ! Naturally, I was looking for something to write about because I had come back to MyEC and also because I had only a little time to stay here, for I had to prepare for another exam.

Today, while browsing through the net, I came across birth flow

Dear Captain,

Time flies! I am going to graduate in next July. This may be my last winter holiday.

Captain, you said you would come back when I finish my study. Do you still remember your promise? You said I could choose a tough sea life with you or an easeful city life with mom. I can't wait to tell you my answer——I want to be a sea girl. And I am sure I can persuade mom to allow me pursue my goal. What's more, mom trusts you.

In the model life when people are always busy with their works, schools, lifestyles and other things which cannot be named exactly, the handiness is more necessary. For that reason, convenient stores and supermarkets are increasingly appearing in almost big cities and gradually replacing traditional markets. However, both market and supermarket has its own features.

First of all, on a beautiful day when you want to go out and talk with somebody, you can go to any markets where are always crowded

All dictionaries are not the same.  Some give you more help than others.   I looked at several dictionaries for three things: a learner’s dictionary, a voice which pronounces the word, and a sentence or phrase containing the word.  I found only one dictionary that has all three.  It is the Cambridge learner’s dictionary. Dictionary http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/learner-english/  They give the word in a sentence or phrase, but it’s hard to see because it is in light gray.  Try it
