- Every learner here on EC desires to learn and improve English. I receive continuously requests from the learner to tell them how to improve English. I always advise them ‘to read more and more, as much as they could’. It is a bit difficult to develop the zeal, but it is the must. By reading, the treasure of words (vocabulary) increases.
- Then I advise them to use the new words they come to know in sentences. Use them again and again so that they memorize.
- With this stock of vocabulary (no matt

Yes, what I'm trying to say is, it will be more enjoyable if MyEC is full of short blogs, on which a lot of comments are added.
Why short blogs? It seems nowadays people tend to read what is short - they no longer enjoy lengthy articles or blogs. It takes time to read something long, but they can't find the time to read among the hustle and bustle.
Then, why a lot of comments? It's no fun writing blogs with no or only a few comments added - the blogger will be so disheartened or disappointed or
This is my 1st blog or may be the last blog in EC
i don't know what happened with my feelings and how to express these feelings. why i felt like an empty sheet.
I was very shocked why my 1st and best friend anxa left me without any notice at all. I knew you from day 1, when i haven't known anyone here. We shared about anything in EC. She knows all about my country, i felt like she is my old friend. i am still curious Why and Why she left myEC without any message or farewell blog. i don't feel exc
Yes, I'm trying to say that a blog may occur if you really know what you want to share or express.
A blog is just about what you really want to tell us or talk about.
You may want to share an interesting story or experience; you may want to express an idea or feeling; you may want to tell us you are trying to understand what just happened, or you may want to talk about something so popular yet controversial.
Three things should be kept in mind when you try to write:
First, the title of your blog sh
Yes, a smartphone is a mobile phone that can be used as a small computer.
A smartphone that connects to the Internet can be so versatile that you don't really need a desktop or laptop. It seems eveybody here in China has such a smartphone - they read, watch or write on their phone whenever they have leisure or spare time, whether on the underground or metro, or in the line or queue, or even walking.
That is to say, they have spent so much time learning or playing on their phone. They no longer us
Hello guys,
it has been long time EC used to be full of Writing Challenges, so why not to repeat the history and give it a try once more again?
Here I am coming with my Writing Challenge and I hope it will inspire you to write and post your blogs as I would like to read interesting letters full of ups and downs, surprises, creativity etc. :-)
Well, what it is the task?
Imagine you were going through all the stuff your ancestors left hidden closed in the attic and suddenly you came across a mysteriou
She's blooming! What a thing of beauty!
Have you noticed something wonderful today? Perhaps you experienced something beautiful in your surroundings? Whatever it is, here’s a simple expression that native English speakers use when they find something nice and pretty.
An Urban Dictionary contributor defines a ‘thing of beauty’ as something that is favorable, appealing or just plain nice.
It’s true enough that I heard this expression in movies and TV shows oftentimes. From the way it’s been interpret
[Sorry, focus failed, chocolate keyboard :D] I've tried to visit MyEC using UC browser and Chrome on the phone but failed to write blogs or comments just like from PC/notebook. I found the same menu only in Dolphin browser. I can upload photo as well as adding photo comment by mobile phone. Not to mention, type editing.
Just,,, This has a small keyboard. You should be more patient. Can you believe that this blog is made through phone? That's correct. :)) See the picture in the comment. I still us
Footnote: This puppy didn't write any essay either and look how happy it is.
Geez... How is that the blog section is so full of spam/advertising stuff lately?
Not to mention how fast is dropping the activity here... if nothing changes I can't see a very bright future for this site. So, where are all these members who are supposed to like this site so much? Move your as* and write some blogs from time to time before the tumbleweeds start growing; it's not so hard :P
Yes, I mean we should try to write at least one blog each week - the more the better, though.
It makes sense because only when you write can you know you still need to make an effort to learn English - chances are, you'll still make mistakes when writing in English. It may seem there is nothing more to learn when you don't write.
Why not write one right now while you're still here or still hanging out on MyEC? I assume you may have run out of ideas - you're not sure what to write; you're still af
Yes, 'but' can be followed by an infinitive without 'to', when 'but' means 'except', for example, 'We did nothing but read the book', or 'There is nothing to do but take a rest'.
You can say 'I can't (help) but laugh', instead of 'I can't help laughing'.
However, 'no choice/alternative' can be followed by the 'to'-infinitive, so you say 'I have no choice but to quit'.
You need to use the 'to'-infinitive when 'but' doesn't mean 'except', for instance, 'Our goal isn't to pass the quize, but to be fl
Yes, Tara is no longer the administrator of MyEC, but she never really leaves MyEC. Did you notice 'English Club Latest'? Yes, that's where you can 'Listen to News'!
I've noticed so many members here mentioned Tara in their blogs, which may imply they still miss her. They have reason to do so. Tara is a great teacher - we have learned a lot from and enjoyed her writing. You may find yourself still using some of the words or expressions Tara loves using, such as 'cheers', 'amazing', 'come and go',
MyEnglishClub I feel the word My with a great extent of truth of being this site as My place. And I know you people feel the same way. But still let’s recall why we love MyEC
Almost every member here was googling for “an English learning site” when they found MyEC. Yes it was the interest and eagerness, for some even love, to learn English language that brought all of us to this small friendly island of English Learners on the ocean of internet. So, do not forget you met all these friendly, bitte
Learning a new language is an art.We have so many languages in the world.Each and every language has its own unique nature and importance.Sure we are fluent in our native language.We can mould and alter the words and sentences in any way since we aware of our native language well.But English is an international language that everyone must know and communicate with different kinds of people.
Suppose, If a learner is studying a new language. The person needs motivation and boosting words and should
Yes, I have noticed some of our active members have left MyEC. The thing is their English still needs improving; that is, they quit too early.
Our members have reason to leave or stay. Some members may have left just because they tired of learning English here. It can be so frustrating when you find your English hasn't improved so much as you may have expected. It takes a lot of time and effort to master English, though - having learned English a long time doesn't mean you have a mastery of Engl
Well this is my first blog here... I already started write blogs since 2012 but I had no courage to publish and let people read it. But now, I find my self enjoy to write and publish it (I would love it if you correct the grammar/vocab). Frankly, I never want to let everybody knows this story but I need your perspective to help me open my mind :)
Love is something that will never run out for discussion. Even the famous people will raise the theme of love for their creation (song, movie, book, etc
Yes, I mean you could try guessing the meaning of a word that is unfamiliar to you. In fact, that is one of the reading skills. That is, you can try to understand what a sentence or paragraph means without looking up the unfamiliar words in the dictionary.
Try guessing the meaning of the words highlighted in bold:
1. 'The patient's care may be jeopardized, and the patient may be harmed.'
2. 'The health professional has a right to financial remuneration from the patient.'
3. 'No one at that time cou
Yes, it makes sense to know sentence structure since a blog or an article is made of sentences - only when you can make sentences can you compose a piece of writing.
Indeed, there are just 4 types of sentences: simple sentence, compound sentence, complex sentence, compound-complex sentence. For example:
1. Expector is a doctor. (simple sentence)
2. Expector is a doctor and he loves English. (compound sentence)
3. Expector, who is a doctor, is also a moderator of MyEC. (complex sentence)
4. Expector
Yes, I'm going to talk about 'the passive of perfective verbs'.
The passive or passive voice is formed with the different tenses of 'be' and the past particle of a verb, for example, we can say 'My bike was stolen'. You may wonder if you can say 'My bike is stolen'?
Good question! My answer is yes. If you use the past tense 'was', you're emphasizing the action - you mean your bike was stolen by someone, yesterday or any day in the past. When you say 'My bike is stolen', you just mean the 'result
Yes, it's good news for those who have problems adding comments or new blog posts.
I take my hat off to Josef and his technical team, who managed to find what was wrong with the adding and to solve the problem.
Try adding a comment or a new blog post to see if it works for you too!
