This time four years ago, several people in my life were telling me my best friend, my partner, my horse Emma would never be ridden again. Every professional from trainers, to vets and specialists told me Emma was never going to be a show horse. Absolutely out of the question. It was also very unli

Thanks a lot to the chatters that are against any form of discrimination, it is not about me, I can deal with it, it is about an Universal matter of concern in which all of us are involved, it is not so simple as saying : "if you don´t like it don't talk to those chatters or don't go to that chat room". Persons would not use this site to share racism because it's not legitimate, think about it. Somebody should do something about it. Maybe there is any person responsible of this site who can stop

I am denouncing through this site the racism existing in the 1997 chatroom of Englishclub, I can't understand how the owner permit these things. I have been there for  a while and behold racism, religion intolerance and many other bad things. they have called me "Nigerian" thinking I would be molested but in fact I am not, they call me black ignorant and also made a imaginary picture of a Nigerian with flies all over his body, they say Nigerians are scamers and fraud couterfaits, you can go and

I had a bad day and so I called for help from my best friends here in India. 

I think it’s interesting to exchange opinions, reflexions and thoughts with people 
from different countries, languages and experiences. 

I wrote about that day. Siddharth (a young Indian guy, very nice and very clever. 
He is interested in discovering the world and learning from each moment of life) 
and Paul (an Australian guy, young is not the word but I can say very active, who 
has been living in India since March 2010,

Learning English has been like a habit to me, on and off depending upon my mood. By god's grace I have not had to strive much hard to grasp to the common tongue and I have always felt natural expressing my self. Live conversation are the most exciting for me which really fills my heart with thrill and glee, feels like its flowing through me.

Writing longer narratives are a problem for me, because I find it hard to concentrate long enough to constitute a logical and time worthy comprehension. It a

     Good morning dear Friends 

    Two days ago I noticed that a precious person missing here in EC, a person which is very kind who welcomed all the people when they enter to join this lovely website, she is Anele. 

please if any one knows where is she tell us because I'm wondring if something happened with her. 

                                                                                                                              thanks 

. A long time A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree

A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday

He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow

He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by the little boy had grown up,

And he no longer played around the tree every day.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad.

\"Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.

\"I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees anymore\"
The boy

The following slang/idiom quotes can be found all over the internet, with author unattributed. I found these at: http://www.clubrunner.ca/CPrg/Bulletin/SendBulletinEmail.aspx?cid=7616

Can YOU think of any more?

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I ha

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best convers

There are more than 5000 stars in the sky,

several of them are huge in size and radiate very intense lights,

but they are far away from earth,

therefore they look smaller and their lights are dimmer.

On the other hand our sun is closer to us;

we can feel direct advantages of her present.

She has given us warmth, vitality and cheerfulness.

Now she has gone, leaving us in darkness.

Is she seeking another world to shine?

Will she be back by tomorrow morning?

I hope there is still another day to come.

Hi. everybody!

Want to tell you a few words about our (my and my girlfriend's) trip to Phuket, the famous island and resort of the country of Thailand. It's lying 800 km south of Bangkok and it's very popular among Russian tourists thanks to its numerous beaches, rich nightlife and wonderful nature. We began our trip with 8-hour train-moving to Moscow. It's rather weird, but it's much more exprensive to fly directly from Saint-Petersburg to Phuket, than from Moscow, so we decided to visit our ca

I really tired. Tired of loving, may be tired of living... Its hard to live when your love with another one. And love another man. Its hard to see when they go somewhere and playing, kissing each other. Nobody understand me, even I am. Nobody believe that I loved only girl. And think about Her every day. Maybe they don't believe to love. I don't know. I really tired. 

I kiss another girls and fall in love with other, but never forget Her. In the end I decided She or no one. Maybe it seems crazy,

Hello everyone.

Every year, we start it with some resolutions to change something about us or our evironment, to improve or to make things better. Some people say they want to lose some weight or thye want to start working out. Others say that they want to learn something like cooking, a language or how to do something like an art. 

However, many of our resolutions don't come up to reality. Some of them because we don't have enough time for them. Some others, because we lost the enthusiasm and we

As we always like to enjoy every bit of our time and be happy, so I thought to share few points that I follow, which really helped me and kept me happy. If anyone can give a try it will surely make a difference in your life.
