Positive and negative sides

I am damn sure someone will want to strangle me after reading it, some may do agree! Well, I am going to say something about last month's writing challenge.

To begin with, I must  say  the positive sides of it.

1. This  writing challenge motivated us to write more.

2. We tried to think more, did brain storming, found various topics to write blogs.

3. After getting this challenge, we got many new bloggers who did not write before or was not more active in blogging.

4. It is unnecessary to say again th

MyEC Bloggers United

2347093651?profile=originalWe did it! Our June goal was to beat the MyEC record for most blogs posted in a single month. With all of your help, we achieved this (and so much more). The last time I checked, we had published 625 blog posts, which is double our current monthly average. That just shows you how important it is to set goals, doesn't it? 

I'm so proud of everyone who participated in the June Blogathon. Some of you set individual blogging goals, too. This really impressed me. I think we must always set goals for o

Mishaikh some parts of this text are not clear to me and I think it can be written in better way but I don’t know how.   I just hope you give me some ideas.

THANKS AND TAKE CARE

(This was the request sent to me two years ago by one of my friends in Iran. Following is the re-written (by me) text which I modified for her.  It is here for the interest of English learners.  I am sure she won’t mind because at that time she was also a learner, now she has done her graduation.)

Helloooo!!! I want to congratulate you for all this hard work you did this month to break the record! It was a nice experience and I believe we will remember it for long time!

I love to …Dance! I dance when I’m cooking, I dance when I am taking a shower, I dance when I’m teaching (and my preschoolers love it and so we all dance together!) I even dance when I’m watching TV (it’s my excuse for exercise) I dance whenever my arthritis knee would allow and so far it’s every day so I don’t complain.

I love my…black coffee…I take it…first thing in the morning…before my eyes are even open…keeps me sane during hectic days…my best break time buddy ever…does not whine, does not d

We've already crossed the finish line - we've smashed the record 580 blogs. We've set up a new record, and made history! That's incredible or unbelievable! 

580 blogs a month seemed to be unobtainable or unreachable, but it turned out we mede it to more than 580 blogs. According to the statistics, we now even have reached more than 600. And, we still have one day to go until the end of this month. 

Now, the hustle and bustle is subsiding. In fact, some members have started to summarize or reflect

Summarize

Hello All…

This is maybe my last blog this month. I’ve been reading a lot of wonderful blogs. They are so inspiring and giving courage. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I wasn’t very active, just wrote few blogs and dropped few comments but I do really enjoy my time here, believe me I didn’t leave any comments or clicked like because I was too amazed and exhausted to read it all. There were so many blog and I found the writers were sharing their experiences and thoughts. I should a

As part of the June Blog Challenge, Walker recommended that we write posts about ourselves. Here's my response:s

10 Random Things You Might Not Know About Me

1. I love to run! In the summer I try to jog for 30-40 minutes every other day. I don't run marathons or races, and I don't time myself. I'm not competitive at all when it comes to running. I run because it gives me energy and ideas. Some of the best ideas come to me while I'm jogging. In the winter I sometimes run around an indoor track insi

The King and The Prisoner

Hi all, I just can't let myself being absent at the last seconds of this wonderful challenge. You're so amazing, friends. This is the 582nd blog of June Blogathon.

Here is just about a puzzle question. But it was very hard question for me to answer, so I remembered it a lot. 

There is a king and a prisoner. The prisoner is no other Hercules. He is sentenced to death. At this time, he is in a jail which has two gates with a guard on each gate. One of the gate is the door toward the forest, let's na

  The good thing about blogging in a community is that your blog will not merely be words on the pages of a website but through the reciprocal actions of the community it will be transformed into a dynamic platform alive with interaction, learning and most of human connection.  

So This blog I make now is an invitation to interact with me through "Snapshot Stories"  Post a snapshot from your life and tell us the story behind the picture.  Here's mine:

It's my second entry to June Blogathon! 

This month is of a great significance in my life as, I have learned so many new things only in 1 month. Like other active bloggers, I wanted to become one of them. But, in spite of having a wish I couldn't cope up with my mind/ situation and dropped the idea to blog.

However, I got motivated and convinced myself to write at least a blog. And, there you go, here I am writing a blog. I shouldn't have forgotten the proverb " Better late than never".

EXCELLENCE CAN BE CULTIVATED.

There is no doubt that a child is born with some instincts, inherited qualities and abilities hidden in him or her character. A child when born is like a blank page. What he would become depends what and how he learns and made to learn during his growth. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the parents and teachers to pass on the knowledge and wisdom in the new generation. If it is done in proper manner then there is no doubt that an able and useful generation cam

Then, what's an idiom? An idiom is a group of words whose meaning is different from the meaning of the individual words. 

There are a large number of idioms in English. Some of them are used more often than others. It can be a good idea to use some idioms in your writing. Sometimes only an idiom can convey what you really want to say, especially when you're desperate to hit the nail on the head

Idioms with 'wall' are just such useful idioms, such as 'drive/send somebody up the wall', 'climb the

Every blog counts

You may have noticed that so many blogs have been published this month. Yes, we're trying to break a record - 580 blogs a month. 

Our real goal is not just to break the record, though. We're challenge ourselves to write as many blogs as possible. It makes sense since we need more writing practice if we really want to improve. Such an intensive writing training can be so useful in sharpening our writing skills. 

Yes, there are already a lot of blogs for the blogging challenge, which doesn't really

I've published 23 blogs this month. I promised to publish at least two blogs when I first left a comment on Tara's June blogging challenge - I never thought I could publish so many blogs in a month. 

Yes, it's the challenge that has inspired me to write so many blogs. Maybe everyone needs to be inspired or encouraged to make a difference. I still remember it was Josef, the founder, who invited me to join MyEC, and it's Tara, our admin, who has motivated me to try my best to help make MyEC a pleas

Yes, It may sound as if we were cramming for an English test. We're trying to cram all of that in such a short peroid of time. 

We've been so busy reading, writing like there's no tomorrow.  Never before has a month seen so many blogs published for a writing challenge. No wonder you may ask 'What are you doing here, guys?'

It may not just sound like an intensive training - it's actually one. We've learned a lot and improved so much both in writing and in reading, which proves that there's no such

There are only a few days to go until the deadline. While we're sprinting to the finish line, some of our active members are still absent from this month's writing challenge, which is also dubbed as 'June Blogathon'.

We're bound to break the record (be it 460 or 580 blogs a month), statistically or actually. It is, however, a pity that some of our active members have failed to publish a blog for this month's blogging challenge. They may regret it when it's too late for them to post a blog for the

It is said to imply with paucity in knowledge is dangerous.

Once there was a doctor.  He had an assistant.  Whenever a patient came to the doctor the assistant used to observe him carefully.    One day the doctor was visiting an ailing friend to check him at his house.  He took the assistant with him.  When he was leaving his friend after checking, the friend asked him whether he can do anything with his camel, which has swallowed a whole melon which stuck in its throat.  “Ok, let me see, what I
