ESL Blogs

Yes, it's more likely Expector won't try to correct every mistake in your blog, even though the 'correction' is included in the tags. 

Usually, when Expector sees the correction tag, he'll try to make some corrections for the blogger. It's impossible for him to correct all the mistakes in a blog, though. Moreover, some of the mistakes are just miscues or typos. Bloggers, however, could correct those minor mistakes themselves if they try to re-read or re-edit their blog. 

In fact, it's inevitable f

Once this month is finished, I think all the EC bloggers should get 'EC Blog Holidays'. Yeah guys, you deserve that!    Some of you are writing like crazy here and I'm getting worried about your health!... But it's Ok! Mary is here to help your brain to take a break! Stop thinking about what's going to be your next topic: relax your mind and just ... look at kittens on the internet!


I think I should post more cute cats' pictures here next month, so the EC blog section won't be so quiet after a

When I joined MyEC in October 2013, I didn't know this site very much, neither I was acquainted with any member, but since this type of site is not new for me, because prior to EC I joined another site of English learning, that site was also offering lessons for the learner, and there was no limitation to one language all the other major languages were also offered for the learners including Urdu, Arabic, and Farsi, but however, English also dominated there. There was another opt

Is there anyone who never gets hurt? I’m sure that all of you ever get hurt. That could happen when you feel lonely, when you hate someone, when someone says painful words, when everyone disagrees with you, when you feel failed, etc. How do you usually overcome all of those conditions? Well, I think some of you are expert in this matter.

Will you let your heart surrender? Means let your heart gets hurt. I hope not. When you get hurt, it means you let yourself hurt. A wise man said, “No one can hu

I am 150

I am 150!. I want to shout it from the top of my office, but I don't want to be called crazy. I always thought nothing can stop me from writing once I've been bitten by the writing bug. But, alas! Life is not a fairy tale, nor do I a story teller that I have to write as if my life dependent on it. How I wish I can be as active as before, and able to write whether and whenever I wish to do it. 

I know I should stop whining, but hey, this is the only outlet where I can whine about it. LOL.

Learning of English

The main goal is fluency. Remember that you don't have to know many complex grammatical structures to achieve that goal. First of all try to speak as fluent as possible (even making some grammar mistakes). Then, after making  speaking fluent, you can focus on grammar aspects.

Many people think that knowing a lot of words is a key to fluent speaking. It's true. However, there are many people who have wide idiolect and problem with fluency. They try to learn more and more words b

I call this month's blogging challenge  'Blog June', while our admin Tara refers to it as 'June Blogathon'. I'm glad that Tara likens it to a marathon, a race in which people run a distance of 42km. 

Does this busy month feel like a long-distance race?  To most of us, this month's intensive writing training may feel as tiring or strenuous as a marathon. 

Now, we're running the last lap, and we need to sprint or burst to the finish line. There are still a few days to go before we cross the line, so

This is my 20th blog for this month's writing challenge. I never published so many blogs in a month, though.

I'm so pleased that so many bloggers have participated in this month's blogging challenge, and so many blogs have been published this month - I myself have posted 20 blogs, not to mention Mishaikh and Seeker, who have published even more blogs. I'm so pride of you all. 

As the blog moderator here, I don't think we published as many blogs in any other month. So, I'm sure we're bound to break

The idiom 'anybody's guess' means nobody knows. 

Do you think it's now anybody's guess how many blogs will have been published by the end of this month? Do you think we can make it? 

We thought the record was 460 blogs a month, and now we think the record might be 580, which may sound so daunting or so unbelievable. In fact, our admin Tara is trying to make sure we know exactly what the record is. Maybe we have already broken the record, which also is anybody's guess. 

We should keep writing, even

According to Tara's new statistics, the goal for 'Blog June' should have been 580 blogs rather than 460 blogs. 

I'm curious to know what could be your response to it:

Do you think the record is too unbelievable to break?

Are you shocked or surprised or disappointed by the number? Or will the number deter you from moving on for the goal?

Or you may think the announcement or revelation is a bit too late?

Or you'll just shrug it off and keep blogging until the deadline?

I know our active members here hav

As many of you know, we are trying to reach the goal of posting 460 blog posts this June. I just noticed that we have posted 399 blog posts. That made me so happy! It also made me think about posting my next blog. I realized that if I wrote and published my next blog post really quickly, I would have the 400th post! But, that would be breaking one of my own secrets of blogging. I'm sure by the time I finish this post and put it aside for a little while, another blogger will have already posted #

Yes, 'conversational' means casual and informal. Colloquial words and expressions are informal too. You may have noticed the difference between formal style and conversational style. 

You may sound informal as if you're just having a conversation or casual talk with someone. You're trying to convey your thoughts or opinion in an easy, conversational way, which may sound more natural and can be more persuasive or effective. 

Yes, too informal or casual isn't a good idea. For example, if you use suc

Yes, the idiom 'bite off more than you can chew' means 'attempt to do something that's too difficult for you or that you don't have enough time to do'. It seems I've bitten off more than I can chew. 

We're trying to reach our goal: 460 blogs for this month's 'Blog June' writing challenge, which means we need to write and read many more blogs than we did in any other month. 

I promised to write at least two blogs when I first left a comment on Tara's 'Blog June' writing challenge, but I've publishe

Our goal is 460 blogs for this month. There are still several days to go, so we should keep writing or blogging until the last day of this month.

Our active members here have tried so hard to write as many blogs as possible for this month's writing challenge. Some of the members have already published more than 30 blogs this month, and they're still writing for the challenge. That's really something - I take my hat off to them!

Some of our members, however, may think they have run out of ideas or

We're still on target, which means we're quite likely to achieve our goal - 460 blogs for June. We'll try our best and keep blogging until the deadline. 

We're not sure whether we can make it or not, though. It's now everybody's guess.  'Big deal', but, what really matters is whether you've really learned something from blogging. 

I've learned a lot from this 'Blog June' writing challenge. I'll never give up before achieving a goal. I'll try my best whenever I'm trying to do something. You'll neve

It's All About the Comments

  This is a noteworthy feature if you're in the blogosphere. Who don't want to be read and assessed when writing a blog post? I suppose most of us keep this in mind. I  refer not only the grammatical assessment, but also the critical view of the blog's topic by other members. We need other pointviews in order to enrich or solidify our world view. For me a good blog is a blog with a bunch of comments.

  Comments mean a post was read, understood and mainly was criticised,

A Letter for Bloggers, Commentators, and Readers

Dear all my MyEC friends,,

How are you today? Is everything okay? I hope you are fine and everything is going well. How is your day? Is there something special today? I hope it’s great and wonderful. If you had something special, I’d be glad if you don’t mind to share it here. Here I’m on my long holiday at my parent’s house, my hometown. It’s sure I have so much free time, so I can spend much time for MyEC. BUT, I don’t think so.

Remembering the mon

SURROUNDING

 I am in my bedroom. At the moment, I am sitting on the chair of a computer table and facing computer. My computer table is set near a window. Outside the window, it gives me a view of houses, trees, streets spreading before me and seems to go yonder. The view starts from near to far diminishing the things gradually.  On my left there is the door of the washroom. On my right, my wardrobe is standing. On the left of my behind, I have dressing table while at the back there is my bed by

I’m a part of mouth. I’m the one which can make your mouth speaking. I can be defined as language. I spread information which means doing communication. The one who has me should be grateful. You could never miss a day without me. When you have me, but never use me, even just to talk to yourself, you need to go to a psychologist, I guess. Oh, keep trying to use it. :)

When you use me to speak, I can be sharper than knife, I can be softer than wool. I could lead someone become a rough person. I co

Hello, I want to put too a little stone in this month’s writing challenge so here is my personal point of view about blogs.

As English learner I should try for the best. As Elen I am a bit lazy with English :D. Tell me take the grammar and read or take the vocabulary and learn new words, it is for me a little torture. I don’t like to push myself to read when I don’t have any serious reason. I will not give exams, so I will not read. I like to learn but not with this way. I like to learn while I l
