Dear EC Teachers...

Dear English Club Teachers,

I am planning an extra activity for my teenage students in which I need other teachers' participation.

The idea is to help...

Our students exchange letters through us.I mean in an indirect way,so that we could moderate their mails and try to help them.

My students loved the idea and they have already prepared their letters and are waiting impatiently to communicate with their friends abroad!I would email the the letters to anyone who is ready to participate immediately.I

Isn’t she being strident?

Just finished watching a movie called Margaret, or rather my husband watched it till the end. I could not have the patiance watching this movie. It can be a great film, but Anna Paquin has a way to curb my enthusiasm by yelling persistently in the entire movie.

Something that I will never approve or get used to when watching western movies is when the children are yelling at their mothers. Being an Asian and grew up in a conservative family, we were taught to respect the elders and not to raise o

When I grow old...2

In the dream, I was an old granny. How old? Hmmm, I guess I was 99 years old or 111 years old [I like the two numbers], Because I walked very slowly. How slowly? Hmmm, once a time I felt hungry, and the kid was out. It took me a long time to go out of my studyroom to get the food which was ready in the kitchen. Poor granny!

Ok, let's get down to business. Let me tell you what I did on the first day. [lol, it seems I am more like a storyteller, other than a blogger =)]

On the first day I woke up ea

Funny and Wierd Script

Last night, I watched a comedy movie called Schizopolis. At the beginning of the movie, the main actor who was also the director of this movie came out on a mock stage and gave a little speech about this movie. As I recall he said something like “If you don’t understand this movie, it’s not our fault but yours. And you have to watch it again and again…” I did not give much attention to it since it was a comedy movie.

But, after watching it for a while, I started to get confused. How could you not

Blocking of links

Some of you are now aware that we are no longer allowed to post useful links in the main page.  This is becasue a few have been posting malicious links.  This has allowed the perpetrators to win and the majority have lost out on having this useful feature.  As you are aware I can often post a link to any questions regarding english or post a link to start a topic for discussion.

what is the meaning of friend for you ?

There are too many friends however good friends are hard to find. Diamonds are scarce however good friends are scarcer. Diamonds can be purchased by money but good friends can’t be. Those are lucky who have good friends, and those are rather luckier who know the value of good friends earlier before it become too late. In times of prosperity friends are plenty; in times of adversity not one in twenty. The real friend is the one who comes in when the world goes out. Your just one word can save a l

Tip For Tagging

I want to share a quick tip about tagging! A tag is a keyword. You can add tags to the blogs, photos, and videos you post on MyEC. This makes it easier for members to search for specific content. It also helps English learners learn new words! Use a space after each tag. 

If you want to use a phrase or expression with more than one word in your tag, you have to add quotation marks around the words. For example: "Why did the pope quit?". If you don't use quotations, the tag will look like this whe

Valentine's Story

 Let's read this story :

        Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings.

Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, no
