It has been a while since we've done a "getting to know you" exercise on MyEC. I hope you'll join me in this month's writing challenge! 

For this writing challenge, I will need you to reach into your purses, knapsacks, or coat pockets and grab your keys. Set your keys out in front of you and have a good look at them.

What does your keychain say about you? 

When we use the word "say" in this way, we do not mean to speak out loud. The word "say" can also mean "to reveal/show/prove/suggest". For examp

1. Set goal/s that you want to achieve.

Once upon a time i have read a book about The English Culture . I came a cross a phrase which says" English is the nation of short-forms".

No surprise because I am just a human, It is not my fault to give me your mind picture which you draw. I am not acting to be angel because I am not and will never be.

Give me my space to accept me otherwise look around yourself and find angel if you can but do not hurt me because I am not as you want.

From the infographic above, we can see that there are four main benefits from learning a language: love, travel, intelligence and money. And, it's interesting to see that being a bilingual person can increase our chances to get a better life. I remember I read research posted on an online news that bilingual students performed better in various tasks than monolingual students just like the result that was shown by the infographic.

Well, here I am again writing a few lines to express my feelings about EC. 

When I first came to EC in 2005 , I was barely an English teacher trainee and I was scared of making grammar mistakes on the forums. However, several members made feel comfortable to write as much as I could so that I would practice more and more.

..........and smile always no matter what your feeling.....:-)
