Blogging tips from a Seasoned Blogger:
How would I know that I am a Seasoned Blogger and am entitled to give tips for blogging? Anyway, I give it a try:
1. Every learner here on EC with a desire 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 must. By reading, the treasure of words (vocabulary) increases.
Hello everyone…
My third blog this month is not about the blog, but still it relates to English learning. In my previous blog you can find I mentioned Literature Based Approach. This is an approach to learn English using literary texts. There are many reasons for using it in the process, one of reason is literature expands language awareness. When we use literary works in the class, we actually exposed many functions of written language. By reading we gain familiarity with many features of writte
Comment Etiquette:
My friend Seeker has already covered some main Etiquettes in his blog. Such topic is very confined, and stick to the same points covered by other bloggers and repetition is unavoidable. However, as I have pointed out in my earlier blog that blogging is all about comments, so:
1. I it makes the reader obliged to respond by his/her comment/s.
2. A learner has delicate sensitivity, so if the comments have the same polite delicacy then it will give an encouraging impact.
3.
It’s all about the Comments:
It is 8th topic on the subject of ‘blog or blog post’, so naturally I can’t avoid referring to the viewpoints given in my earlier blogs on the subject. Like I have discussed earlier that a writer’s first wish is to be read, read by maximum readers so that he would be able to get their comments to his benefit, to improve language and vocabulary. So blogging, at a learning stage, as we all are at, is all about the comments, which every writer, especially me expects and
I had written off writing on my diary after college. I was having so much fun living my adult life that deliberately making time to write down my experiences was just too much of an effort to do. I whisked through these years of my life like a rocket eager to encounter new frontiers so that even my greatest love, reading books, has been cast aside like an old toy. I was engulfed in the moment and before I knew it life happened…marriage, work, and kids.
In the midst of this I came across phot
I posted this tribute a few days ago through my Facebook. However, I decided to share this tribute in here, but I need to put some note on the matter in order for non Malaysians to understand the reason for such tribute.
On Friday June 5th, 2015, Sabah was rocked with 5.9 Richter scale earthquake. The hardest hit area was the Mount Kinabalu. It was said to be the strongest earthquake ever hit Malaysia since 1976. As at todate, it was confirmed that 19 people were killed, including Robbie Sapinggi
I guess you've already been learning English for a long time, and you probably enjoyed reading all the blogs here. You may feel like writing your own blog. If that's the case, then it's time for you to publish a blog here.
What's prevented you from writing a blog?
Are you afraid of making mistakes? Not so sure if you really want to write one? Nothing to share? Not interested in writing blogs? Don't feel like expressing yourself? Whatever reason it may be, if you still hesitate to write, you're mi
I start the day with breakfast, take meal at lunch and dinner, eat snacks at evening, enjoy eating when I see movies and drama series, watch cooking shows in you tube. A huge lot of time I spend everyday dealing with food. My mother become very angry to see how obsessed I am on cooking shows like "Masterchef" or "Hells Kitchen". He asked me to concentrate on studying and spending less time to watch TV. I do not pay hide much of her advice, rather then that I spend most of my time after returning
It's not uncommon that a blog consists of a very long paragraph. I usually suggest the blogger to paragraph the long paragraph whenever I come across one. Here's some tips:
A blog with short paragraphs is more readable than a blog with a long one
A long paragraph isn't so reader-friendly, which means it's hard to read. It can be so tiring to read such a long paragraph. Your readers deserve your consideration - they need the space and the pause. Make it a pleasant experience to read your blog.
The
Big deal? Maybe not. Some members here may find it confusing, though.
'An English teacher' usually means someone who teachs English, but it may sound like someone who's from Britain, or the UK. And, it can also refer to someone who teachs English and is from Britain. English is now such an important widely-used language, which's really something the British should be proud of. Some Britons or Brits (whatever you call British citizens), however, may not feel anything special when they hear you us
My Definition of a Blog
According to IT terminology, a ‘blog’ is a website containing a writer’s or group of writers’ own experiences, observations, opinions, etc. But in my opinion this is not just posting words in a group of sentences reflecting your experiences, observations, opinions etc. A blog is a place you show yourself as what you are. This is a mirror which reflect the energy of your emotions, it also makes other to feel the heat of your passions. It is like talking to friends and w
Yes, if we want to reach the goal more than 460 posts for this month June, we need to publish at least 15 posts per day.
The record is 460 posts a month
Did you ever wonder which month in history we set the record? Why so many posts were published in that month? I don't really know, either. I think it must have happened in a month when so many members here couldn't help blogging. Now, we're even trying to break the record.
The real goal is to improve our writing skills
I know the number we're tryi

A Blog Post That Meant a Lot To Me
I have more than one blog posts that meant a lot to me. I am here on EC since October 2013, but I have been blogging for 3-4 years. Prior to joining EC I was posting my written work on Culture Page of another platform. (It isn’t active any more). The blogs that meant to me a lot I also posted here on EC. I will mention here one:
It is my blog “The Café” (meant to me a lot)
I had a friend RC (short of her name). She told her story that she loved a man who at l
Why English Language Teachers Should Blog
I have been blogging with English language learners for about six and a half years. Before MyEC, I had blogged on other platforms; however, I quickly realized that blogging with EnglishClub members would be different than blogging alone. Blogging in this community has taught me that all English language teachers should have a blog that they share with their students and their colleagues.
Blogging with your English learners can help you discover their weak
hi to all, Salam to all..!
Listen listen..!! I am alive. Do you remember me..

Making friends through Blogging:
Making friendship in virtual world is easy and difficult both, but you can’t be sure how long it lasts, because this relationship is made behind the curtain of electrons, you still can’t be sure of the personality of the member on cam, you simply see the appearance. Friendship if made between two persons having the same frequency, the same interests, the same hobbies, like singing, dancing, and other supports, this friendship last long (may be forever or may turn
Some members here often have a picture or some pictures included in their blogs.
A blog with a picture can be so vivid or clourful, but too many pictures/photos in a blog isn't a good idea, and you should make sure you're allowed to use those pictures. Here's some tips in case you want to use pictures in your blog:
Do not use a lot of pictures in a blog
It can be so distracting if you use so many pictures in a blog, and it can also hamper the reading. Using one or a couple of pictures a time if you
It was a sunny warm winter morning. Tintin had no hurry to wake up so early. So, she decided to lie down more. Last night she had a dream. In her dream, there were some people. But, what was the dream about now she could not remember, strange!
''Hmm, I must get out from my lurking bed and should get ready. But, before it, I must check on mama, how she is doing.'' So, she started towards her mom's room. And, to her surprise, she found her mother was on the bed!

I think, it is a good topic to write a blog on it! Well, I am an enthusiastic learner. And, as a learner of English language, I have found writing blogs is quite helpful.
First of all, it helps us to think deeply about a topic or situation.
secondly, It is a good way to practice writing skill.
thirdly, one can find out his/her errors, they may grammatical or syntax or anything else!
Fourthly, It is an effective way to do revision, it may be about spelling/ idioms/ phrases/ common errors/ similar wor
