Dear all MyEC Members, ^_^

I guess you've already noticed the feature changes on MyEC. It's about text editor. Not a few members here wish coloured text and various fonts in text editor are back. First, this is a confirmation from Mr.Josef, 

The fact that we just need to accept this made me want to share a few information about HTML Editor. For your information, I'm not an expert in this field, ^^ I just know a little about that. However, I got some additional information from friends here and Mr.

Hello my friends...

as the end of this year is almost around the corner and some of us analyze their achievements and failures... I just got an idea and I hope you will like it and enjoy it here with me :) 

Sooo.... Let's leave the comments here in this blog with the wishes we either expect from upcoming year or we would like to achieve... ehmmm..some call them resolutions but it doesn't have to be only about changing yourself, ok?

Wouldn't it be cool to check this blog in one year and compare, if

Here in my country some people are trying to travel to exotic countries. Because those countries attract them with lots of the interesting, unknown or unexpected things. People dream about those countries and think that it is a paradise to live there.

But often they get disappointed because of their zeal to get everything at the same time. They are eager to try, taste and experience everything new. Sometimes it is really useful, sometimes it is interesting and joyful, but sometimes it is even dan

Aloha there.

Here I come with my last blog... The last of this year, at least.
As every year, I'm always curious about which words are considered the most popular ones, taking in mind some events of the year. So, there it goes:

Oxford Word of the Year (2017)

Youthquake.
"A significant cultural, political, or social change arising from the actions or influence of young people".

A very silly word for what it could be something cool... but that is usually reduced to do an idiotic viral challenge.

Dictio

Sheila's baby is cute as a button. I just wanna eat 'im up.

If Ian just keeps pushing my buttons, I'll Grrrrr... [a torrent of profanity ensues]

Button it, Vinny. No one cares 'bout what ya think.

Violet's got luscious hair, a button nose and an A4 waist. But she can't stand the poor. They weird 'er out. I guess ya can say she's the real deal. Very beautiful... on the outside.

Joe's bright as a button. He'll figure it out.

I used to collect buttons. Then I grew up and realized I've gotta choose a sha

Hey there, 

Let's learn two more words before the year ends. 

Exotic: Adjective: Something is exotic because it is attractive due to being out of ordinary or colorful. Like these are exotic birds.. 

Zeal: Noun: Great energy or enthusiasm for something. 

Example: I can only blame the zeal for travelling for my low savings but I feel it is worth for the life saving vivid memories than money. 

Happy learning and 

Have a happy new year!!

Hello everyone,

How are you all doing? Rhetorical question, I hope everyone is tip top and doing well and good.

I thought of this activity, I thought it could be interesting for all of you as well, what you think of that?

When all comes to all, it is us selves who decide the level of activities here, so why to sit back, show up a little, be a little active, participate in the different sections of this site. Be active, smile a little, be happy.

Of the simple reason, because I really like to see you

Hi, everyone! The year is coming to the end and, as usual, we can’t help recalling its memorable moments. 2017 hasn’t been the best in my life. It was a year of cardinal decisions and fundamental changes, a year of losses and finds, disappointment and quest, hesitation and reflection, despondency and rapture, new discoveries and new sources of inspiration. But whatever we live through makes us stronger and wiser and sooner or later we start realizing it was all for the best. So, I’d like to leav

One night, many years ago, when I was ill with flu and was turning from side to side unable to fall asleep.

I don't remember that night clearly, but I just know that I saw one unknown woman in my room. She touched my shoulder like my mom does, smiled and said sleep. And when I closed my eyes she disappeared.

On the next day I told about that to my mom and she was shoked. Because nobody entered to my room that night. Now I realize that probably it was hallucination or just a dream. But I am not exa

So exams are over and I can continue the challenge!

Hope you remember that you don't have to stress on writing a Shakespearean piece, just a few lines are enough to practice new words. Just use then in context and try to remember ..

Here are the words:

Hallucination:  (Noun) : So tell me if you have seen something that does not actually exist or not really in front of you... and you are not dreaming as well, yes you are awake and you are hearing voices that are in your head.... ever happened? if th

Hello, my fellow bloggers! Time flies quite quickly, isn’t it? It’s almost 2018 and what a nice way to have some sort of a recap about the blogs that I published all these years! This idea is actually from our very own fun, fearless catwoman… Mary. In case you haven’t read her blog already, you may check out the link below.

http://www.myenglishclub.com/profiles/blogs/choose-the-5-blogs-you-wrote-here-and-you-like-the-most

It’s a little bit tough to choose only 5 out of my 110 blogs (Sorry, Mary!).

Hi, everyone! Although both my wife and I will be very busy till mid-January, I have decided to post one more grammar test, the last in 2017. This test is not easy. It expects you to know all English grammar in details. Besides, there may be wrong prepositions, articles, pronouns and much more. This test also contains some wrong phrasal verbs.

So, here is your task. You know you should correct all the mistakes.

I wrote this blog sometime in 2014.

Last night it was raining.  The sky was getting illuminated intermittent lightening. Power was fluctuating, and finally, it was gone and I got dc (disconnected) from my friend on the net. I left the table with an inner gloom and went to the balcony. It was raining heavily with thunder. I let the downpour come upon my body just to try to wash off all the fatigue of the day. There was darkness outside, just the rays of a few emergency lights peeping through the

Japanese people hear characteristic sounds every season.

In spring, we hear the songs which birds sing in the early morning as if they are delighted at coming of spring. Most creatures seem to welcome the coming of spring.

In summer, we can hear the sound of cicadas chirping. They are very loud, but the sound from a distance have a good taste for me. A famous Japanese haiku poet wrote a poem , it's「閑けさや　岩に染み入る　蝉の声」. I think in English it can be translated as 「The calmness, it is merging into the r

Look down at your belly: What do you see? Yes, it's your navel. Let's contemplate it!
This is a blog to review our own activity and to find out all the cool stuff we've written in the form of an EC blog!

Think about some of these new (and kind of lost) EC members who are coming here for first time and don't know anything about you or your activity in EC, but you would like them to get to know it: Which 5 blogs would you suggest them to read from your list of blogs if you'd like them to know your

Hi, everyone! I have decided to kill two birds with one stone and to write one blog on my Funny Story and Onee’s News Report challenges. Isn’t it a good idea? Let’s see!

Now, I am in the studio and here is the breaking news my freelance reporter is going to share with us. So, we are on the air! Stay with us!

“Brian, do you have anything interesting to tell us about EC life?”

“Sure, Danny! And not about EC only! Let me tell about a few current events we all will be interested to know about!

WEEKEND DIALOG with A FRIEND

ME: I can't take it anymore. I know I still have many things to do. But just today, let me rest my brain.

FRIEND: What?? NO!!! You don't need to do that. If you feel that dizzy, you could remove your head and put it on the table. When you feel any better, you can reset it again.

ME: I can't believe that you'd have such a great advice. But please, excuse your stupid unconscious friend! Can you help me do that?

FRIEND: Of course. You can have a rest here in your comfortabl

Once, while feeding the goats in the forest, I met a woman. She was the weirdest creature I ever saw. And if you think that I am exaggerating, she had a shoe in one leg and another leg was bare!

And as I was afraid to talk to her, she came and said, "Hi, I am an alien unconscious woman! My shuttle broke down, so now I have to be going here and there for food, on this planet, until I will be able to go back to my home-planet." I said, "Wow! Nice to meet you!"

I lead the goats to home and returned b
