Why do some discussions get more comments than others? How can we get more comments? In this short note, I am trying to describe first the difference between a blog and forum and then, how we can get more comments on MYEC forum.
The difference between a blog and forum:
To express yourself, to explain or clarify something, to share your thrilling experiences, etc, blogs are great place. You can also write about y
Dear Readers,
We know English is not an easy subject to learn at school,especially for beginners ( Junior High School students) in my area, Solok West Sumatra English for some learners are still too difficult, but it's an important to do, because English is very helpful in gaining all knowledge in the world . So It is a must to learn. As a teacher I had a lot of problems in doing my teaching before . At my school or in other areas I think,this subject is like a ghost automatically the teac
Advice to Learn #1
We always are looking for the best way to learn or improve our English, but of course it needs time. While more time we practice English is possible that we improve easily and quickly. Some people don't have time because they must work and always are busy. But there is a certain time everyday that we lost, we should try use those moments. Normaly we don't use the time when we go to work. When we are driving or going in a bus, we can use that time to practice english.

You ask me what is poverty?Listen to me. Here I am.Dirty,smelly and and the stench of my rotten teeth near you.look at me. look at my scattered clothes and shoes.Here I am,poor, destitute,and greedy you can call me.Have you ever taken a peek into my shelter.Simply, it is a tiny shant made of branches and some wood.It might be smashed down any moment in a windy night.
Here I am,needy to feed my tummy by snatching people bags in the mart, pretending to be a buyer of any piece I need.

After being away from EC for a long time (3 months or so, almost like forever), I found myself back here yesterday, writing a blog. (*_^) After putting all my thoughts together, editing and previewing my post for gazillion times, I comfortably signed out of EC. I wanted to add a photo to the blog so I didn't choose to publish it yet. After a little while, I came back to EC to post this really awesome photo. But guess what? No traces of my untitled blo
Birth, the first turning points in the life, is almost regarded as a happy event in Turkey as in the rest of the world. Every child that comes into the world is a source of happiness not just for its mother and father, but also for relatives, friends and neighbors. That is because every birth increases the number of family members, and increased numbers have always meant increased strength. Families belonging to small communities and ethnic groups are in particular feel safer and stronger as the
Marriage, another turning points of the life, is both individual since it brings together the lives of a man and a woman, and social, since it establishes family and kinship ties. The wedding ceremony takes place as a “festival”, especially in small village communities, since it is an activity covering the whole village. While some of the ceremonies held during different stages of the wedding can be considered as a feast and entertainment, others resemble an “elegy”.
The stages of customs and cer
No doubt the same expression exists in many languages: "History repeats itself." It is undoubtedly true. A similar sentiment probably inspired George Santayana to observe: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Yet seldom does history repeat itself on its own anniversary. Recently we have had several examples of just that.
Nuclear crisis in Japan (March 2011), recalls a similar nuclear crisis at Three Mile Island in the USA (March thirty-two years ago).

Last year we visited Krakow a city in Poland. We hadn't been there before. Our hotel was near the old city square,which is called Stare Miasto. Krakow is a really beautiful city, full of culture. It's an amazing city. We were there only three days. The first two days we did some walking around the main square and we visited the shopping center. The first two days the weather was bad, there was a lot of rain. Despite the rain we had an absolute very nice time. The third day we had more luck with

Dear Ma,
You gave me your blood,
And nourished me.
Loved the world outside through you.
Loved the music, the fragrance,
The tastes, which you loved.
I loved you so much then,
Still loving you.
My heart started to beat-
In rhythm with yours.
The dampness of your tears-
Burnt my reedy heart.
Then you decided to stop mine.
Yours still beats.
But not for me.
Dreamed about the long vistas-
Of a beautiful life.
But you...
Shut the door:
Before this pistillate flower:
This female imp.
But why??
Lovingly
Your unborn
I never meant to lie on you
you are my only true
you are the only way I want to go through
please don't let go
all the world doesn't matter
no one can love me better
what can I do to let you see
what you really mean to me
I will do whatever
just to be together
no one else I want to live with forever
how do I with a new life start
you promise you will never forget my heart
but do you forget our nights
the time we spent with delight
I know that it wasn't right
you are my only light
to bear my life's sight
for you I
