How do you keep your motivation for learning English?

Posted by Masayo on May 28, 2010

Some people who study English may encounter the difficulty with keeping their motivation for study English. I am one of them. I usually don't speak English except for English class.So,why do I study English?Because I like it. This is the only reason for studying English.Today, my family and I went to the museum and we found the guy who couldn't speak Japanese and he had something to ask for the person at the counter.But they didn't seem to like comunicate.So, I tried to help them in English and

Rainy nostalgia.....

Posted by Shujat Khan on May 25, 2010

Getting soaked to the bone in the rains. A pleasant and sordid experience at the same time. On one hand the showers make you all shivery while on the other they tend to relate to your being somehow.But its one of the best seasons of the year,this rainy season.Seems to wash you and your worries away as well....The tiny drop dripping from a rooftop seems to say a lot. It appeared from the boundless skies and to this will it return. Obviously, its glory is not everlasting. Somewhat like us; humans.

Writing Challenge #19 a tribute to a friend

Posted by juan carlo luna on May 18, 2010

A good friend is someone we can count on, as well as being so much more.A good friend allows you a safe space to share your deepest thoughts and needs--without worry of being judged, criticized or made to feel silly for feeling the way you do.Friends cheer each other on, laugh and cry together and just plain commiserate and listen to each other.That's why friends are friendsMy friend: Janemejaya Silva Silangcruzb

How we became friends? I met him in the school. I was the president of the class and

Writing Challenge #19: Tribute to Steve

Posted by Expector Smith on May 12, 2010

"Friendship is one mind in two bodies." --Menclus

My Friend: Steve, a professor from England

How we became friends: He was a patient of mine. Steve never thought he would have to have an operation in a country far from his until he suffered from an acute abdominal condition when he taught in a university of China. He said it was my English that helped him decide to undergo surgery in another county.

Why we stayed friends: When he was in hospital, he found that I was not only a professional doctor,

Learn how to ask a 'question'

Posted by Expector Smith on May 6, 2010

It can be a challenge to ask a 'question' correctly, especially for learners who usually fail to ask a correct one when they try to do so. Don't get me wrong - 'question' here means a 'question sentence'.So let's practise asking questions here. Your task:1. In the comment section, you can write:--'yes/no' question or closed question, such as: Do you think so?--'wh'-question or open question, such as: What do you think of my suggestion?2. Before you write your question, you can try to answer one

What's the newest thing you learned/ discovered in English?...

Posted by Mayumi on May 5, 2010

Every time an English question pop up into my mind, I write it down in my notebook. Whether it is related to grammar or words that have to find meanings or just common expressions that I would like to incorporate to my own pile of vocabularies. What I do especially in understanding grammar rules is after I write it I don't consult yet grammar books..I ask first two or three of the members of MyEC co-members and friends who I know knowledgeable with these matter..Then I study what they have said

My other English club and its interesting names

Posted by Phuong Hoa on April 11, 2010

On every Sunday afternoon, I go to an English club in Hanoi in which I live. Its name is HYEC which stands for Hanoi Youth English Club. How people often address its name, however, is quite unique. That is, they say "hai ếch" which is composed of two Vietnamese words. "Hai ếch" means "two frogs". How can they say that?

First of all, look at HY in HYEC. Because HY is somewhat similar to HI. How English word "Hi" is pronounced is very much similar to how Vietnamese word "hai" is pronounced. Yet, th
