I just want to share you guys this story.

This parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule praying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells.

See how well you can spell, how fast you can type, and how well you can control the mouse in this fun little adventure that i

It was March 8, International Women's Day. I took my wife on a short pleasure trip to the beach of Cần Giờ District, Ho Chi Minh city by motorcycle.

I chose this destination because it takes just a day for a round trip by motorcycle. I also thought that beaches there were not as crowded and as expensive as those of, for example, Vung Tau. Of course the where-to-go and the wherewithals are of equal importance, so far as the budget is concerned.
We really made good time due to the slack traffic and

So many of us face personal challenges in day to day life. Whether it's politics, traffic during the daily commute, family and relationships issues, or just that annoying insect that keeps landing on your arm while trying to write a humorous and intelligent comment in the main room as you wait for your best friend to show up that's ten time zones away from your region. The sun always rises in the East for all of us. Humanity never stops for anyone. I'll post you a song that really isn't gender s

The next morning, before the daybreak, the Ox, the Horse, and the Sheep started out. The horse led the way, because he had the good sense of direction in the darkness, the sheep follows him tightly, and the ox walked after. The Rat, which lived close to the ox, seeing they leave, without a second thought, climbed on the tail of the ox furtively…

When the sun rose, the Cock crowed, and then started off, the Dog, the Boar who live close to the cock went after.

The Rabbit dolled up herself then went

“Mickey, read me, I can share you profound thoughts!”

“Mickey, read me, I can show you a beautiful world!”

Staring at all kinds of books on the shelves in the library, I seemed to hear their callings, and fell into a problem of making a choice. Suddenly a question popped up in my brain——Who are they?

Residents of the library? Knowledge? Books?

I tried to find an accurate word to generalize them, and the word “minds” soon occurred to me. The more

Next week is Persian New Year, NOWRUZ :)

Persian start their new year when nature is born again in spring, and they celebrate it with nature.

Nowruz has many traditional customs just like starting new year everywhere.

ESL learners all have unique streanghts, as well as areas they find quite hard. What most ESL learners have in common, is a difficulty speaking, and putting what they know on paper in to practice.
A learners native language has a lot to do with how they take to spoken English, for example, a speaker of a syllable timed language will find the stress timed rhythm of English hard to ma

Big big hug to each one of you.

Hi Friends,

This is my first blog post. I recently joined to EC as a learner. I think this is a good opportunity to improve English as my second language.
