ESL Blogs

Hi, my friends! It is spring again! It always makes us feel more romantic and playful. So, I think nobody minds my posting this blog.

I believe despite being a teacher, I can write some funny blogs from time to time. So, one of Mary’s blogs as well as my present family situation makes me write something funny to relieve the stress.

Most of young people always ask themselves if they want to have kids and if they are ready for that. I have never asked that question as I have always known I don't wan

Touchy heart can't control tears.  Tears roll down the brims of eyes breaking the boundary of tolerance.  Do you know why hearts become touchy and sensitive?  Because they become weak after being broken down to pieces.  Then the tears come down just for nothing, for one can't bear the mere jokes and argument like before.

We all know our beloved earth has a serious issue. It faces global warming, pollution, earthquakes volcano outbursts and such.

Thanks god there is a planet doctor passing by the earth now and then looking for the health of the planets and help them out with good advice and ocassionally an injection.

the following is the talk bewteen the planet doctor (PD) and the earth:

PD: Hello earth

earth: hello PD

PD: how are you?

earth: I feel a bit blue, lately

PD: how come?

earth: I told you, I am a bit chronical

Only a few more months until summer vacation! Not that I’m counting or anything …
If you teach in Chinese public schools, when the students are on holiday, so are you! Different schools have various vacation dates, but you should have roughly two months to do whatever you want during summer vacation. Since you are a brave expat who moved all the way to China to experience new cultures, I bet I can guess what you want to do with those two months.

Travel and Teach English in China

Yes, you can take

People say I am a magician, I have art of poetry, in fact it is nothing but an incomplete line of a song, in which there is no balance of meaning and rhythm. It is just like a play of which there is no ending is suggested.  Yes this is the magic of love I have which I have learned after a hard struggle. But this gift of magic of love is very strange.  I do not understand what it is in real.  Is this a blessing the fate bestowed upon, or a punishment the Nature inflicted me with? My story is very

This just a sharing for poetry lover of beautiful poem by Susan Christensen  

Let me tell you about a game I play
Where I close my eyes and fade away

I float away to a special place
Beyond the stars and moon and space

In this special place you see
There are only two people - just you and me

In this place, all is right
Nothing but love, and we never fight

In this place, there is no sadness
No cells, no courts, none of that madness

No rules to follow, no laws to break
No bars to hold us or sep

Last week, I read a nice joke that I want to share with you. I translated it from German to English.

Here you go.

A wise Englishman was once asked what the difference between English, Irish and Scottish was.

He replied with the following example:
"If in England you ask for more sugar for tea at an invitation, the housewife fishes a very small piece out of the can.

In Ireland, hand them the sugar bowl and ask you to help yourself.

If one says in Scotland that the tea is not sweet enough, the housewife

Two old grumps meet up and sit on a park bank for hours each single afternoon. Since they feel a bit like there was nothing worth to talk about they used to sigh once a day saying ok. One ok each not more. And before going home they say: see you tomorrow. And that is the whole talk of them. One day one of them thought he´d asked his companion whether he could bring a third old grump. expecting some new ideas the companion agreed and hence the next day the third grump joined them both. The first

Words can be as sharp as the blade of a razor.
They can hurt us, and some of them cut durable wounds in our soul. Words can hurt the same as physical violence.
It hurts that more if someone hurts us we trusted.
The fading or even healing of that kind of wounds takes a lot of time.
Each wound leaves a scar that remains forever.
We can not feel them by touching like wounds on the skin.
Wounds of our skin fade with the time and the most of them will also disappear completely.
Not so the scars in

Sadly, GRACE has had to give up as a volunteer Photo Moderator. For personal reasons and her heavy workload, Grace cannot give the time to moderating photos that she feels members need. That's a shame because she helped many members with advice on their photo titles and descriptions. If it's me moderating, I just delete pics without titles as they break the rules! Luckily I don't moderate photos very often and your kind and generous photo mods take time to help members when they can. Grace has b

Good morning everyone!

I guess you already know that our photo Mod, Grace, relinquished photo moderator. She had been a photo moderator for years, I'm not sure how many years exactly, anybody knows? :) Since I became a member of MyEC for almost four years, she always inspired me and many members (I'm sure) to be active in photo section. Her photo challenges are really super creative and oftentimes she greatly appreciated members' photos. Her positive posture and warm friendship really touched eve

Joining the English 1A class has been very beneficial in equipping me to be a better reader, writer and thinker. By exposing me to a lot of reading material and writing assignments I have been helped to look critically at my own skills and to acquire new ones. In the whole process I have found that there is a relationship between being a good reader, thinker and writer. The better one is in any of these, the better the chances of being good at the other two. 

When I entered the class, I had a pas

It is really tiring!

You are not accepting the one who is meant for you,

and you are running after the one who is not for you. 

Remember, the one who comes to you

is the one who is destined, the sent one. 

And the one who is going away from you is not for you,

It is not necessary that everyone who comes to you, is the sent one. 

Who stays with you always is the one who is the sent one.

When everyone leaves, this is the one who stays with you,

whose face is towards you, and back towards the entire world.

When I was new here on MyEC (I became a member in 2016), I wrote a blog "The book of life".

Maybe is someone interested in reading it.

As it is commonly known that girls like to talk while guys are utmost much more monosyllabic. The following is a sample of how girls can have an endless twitter. Those two girls in the story meet in the city after work. After a wordy "hi" and "how are you?" and a chatter about newest lipsticks and rumour in the circle of friend Girl A starts asking:

A: where are you going?

B: to the cinema.

A: what movie is run there?

B: Quo vadis?

A: what does Quo vadis? mean?

B: where are you going?

A: to the cinema

B

Now, what came to mind is a story about two bicycle fans meeting in the city. As for an easier handling of the story let´s name them A and B. A has bought a new bicycle and B wants to know about it.

See the dialogue:

A: Hi B.

B: Hi A, how does your new bike go?

A: It doesn´t go ....... it cycles.

B: Ah thanks for reminding me. And how does it cycle?

reply of A: It goes well.

Does anyone know other puns?

  Demanding selective processes are a reality for access to many of the internship vacancies. Being well prepared and able to be well evaluated in all stages of selection is a very important differential. One of the most used mechanisms in selective processes is the interview.

  A valuable opportunity for exchange and interaction between employers and candidates, the interview represents a powerful and common method used to choose interns.

  Did you know that there are other several types of inter
