Spammers are people who try to get your confidence and then get your money or infect your computer. I blogged on this topic in 2011 if you are interested, http://my.englishclub.com/profiles/blogs/spammers-can-get-us-if-we-are-not-careful ;

but they keep coming back and changing their methods. I don't use the chatroom, but I just had a message which popped up on my computer.

Chatroom spammers use the same tricks. They try to get you to contact them by email or go to a certain web site. Such contact

A Lazy Friend

A few months ago, one of my friends who is very lazy invited me for lunch; but it was such a bad party that I said to myself, I would never accept any invitation from her.

Actually, I am a hospitable person and I used to invite this friend a lot and receive her very well, but when I was her guest, the lunch was served at 4:00 PM. 

I thought to myself, how nice it was if I would teach her a good lesson, it was a good idea if I would invite her to dinner then I would give her a simp

I am not a good cook, so to concoct a dinner event is something of a daunting task. So, I think instead of a normal dinner, I would turn this into a barbecue dinner. But first, who would I invite to this barbecue dinner? 

Well, I would like to invite a few of EC members who I always chat in the main room or just being friends. They are of different characters, different cultures, different countries and most importantly different views on nearly everything. They are; a very polished Pole - Rysper

If I could invite someone to a dinner, I would invite Frabice Brégier, the current president and CEO (chief executive officer) of Airbus, one of the biggest aircraft manufacturers present on the marketplace.

I've always loved planes and admired the Airbus machines, so, no one better to ask out for even to a brief conversation about the general working of this powerful company than such a representative guest like that.

I'm not sure about what I would serve at the dinner table for an aviation busin

 This month's writing challenge, to choose a dinner  guest seems an worthy opportunity for me  to be lost in a reverie with my Mom. Yes, I am longing to have at least  one dinner; I wish If I could!

 It is almost 7 years since we have lost her. When she passed away, she was 54 years old. She died due to Diabetic related kidney failure. She died before I gave my first birth! Though it is the certainty, everybody should go but it is pathetic, indeed. I could never forget the moment when I heard the

We also try to have fun communicating. A big part of the success of this community is being able to make friends.

It is important to make friends.

PRIVACY SETTINGS can keep you from making friends.  Privacy and community do not go well together in my opinion. Here are the best privacy settings to use:

I would like to invite Amitabh Bachchan (famous Bollywood actor more than an actor) for a Dinner night.

He is one of my favourite celebs, and I think he would be a great man whom I often dream to meet.

The most popular Indian, the most Elegant, wise, veteran man.
It would be implausible to meet him at this age. I would love to see how he will interact with me what I will ask him he is adult & sagacious. But I am sure he is connoisseur in conversation with people of any age. We both talk for hours.

At first I thought about that who could be the one whom I want to invite at dinner. I'm not miser person but I think if you invite someone at your home for dinner. You should cook something at home otherwise you can take him/her to a restaurant. 

There is no one who ever impressed me, that's another fact that I love watching Shakira's dance, but never ever thought to spend or share time with her.

I love spending time with people with whom I can feel comfortable and enjoy my time by sharing ideas a

My 'Dinner guest" is a lady whom I got acquainted on internet.  I happened to travel to USA so I got the chance and invited her on dinner while I was in transit. 

So here is my DINNER GUEST 

Dé.jà vu

I was waiting for her in the hotel lobby, where I had to have a short stay as a transit passenger.  I did not give her the time, but I e-mailed only the name of the hotel in which the airline was going to provide me the lodging. I had nothing to do specifically there in the hotel, so I came down to the

It didn't take me so much time to make a decission whom I would love to invite for the dinner. I decided to follow my inner voice, to listen to my heart. Actually, it isn't bad idea to invite some celebrity or character from  a book but since I have one wish, which would be able to make come true, let me dream and enjoy my fictive awesome dinner with my beloved granny.

Unfortunatelly, my granny isn't already here among us, she died four years ago and I miss her so much. I can say she is still in

This month, I'd like to challenge you to plan a dinner party with a special guest of your choice! 

Your Task

1. Decide who you would invite for dinner. This can be anyone. Your guest can be dead, alive, famous, or even fictional (i.e. a character from a book or movie).

2. Decide what you would serve for dinner. 

3. Decide who else would be at the table. Would it be a dinner for two, or would you include friends or family members?

4. Write a paragraph explaining why you chose this dinner guest. What w

"Colorful Expressions"

It’s now black and white that she never loved me. She is gone forever leaving me in blue. I have been in black mood all the time thinking about her. Last time I have had an argument with her, but I was in grey area about what she was up to.

I was looking at her red face.  I would never be a green eyed monster, if she has fallen in love with somebody else.   There would be no one more tickled pink than me if she really likes someone else.  I will pass with flying colors becau

Writing Prompt ~ House Vs. Home

Dear Jono,

I want to tell you that I just rented a medium house in the surrounds of Paris, capital of France. At first, it seems to be a comfortable house to live, because the street is quiet and green and has few high buildings, the neighbourhood seems likeable and the house is just painted and has  brand new pieces of furniture. Moreover, I brought my little cat Paavo to liven my home up when I feel it is too silent over here. You know, I like to arrange cheerful

    There are so many activities, we try to engage ourselves in, to spend our leisure time. One of the greatest activities, I have explored, is writing,which not only keeps our mind healthy, but also brings about educational growth, which plays a vital role in career building process.

    Whereas, some people prefer cooking to any other activities, to keep themselves busy in their free time. I had no idea that cooking is also a very creative job and great art unless I, myself, experienced it. B

This is the third part of my blog series "The Wonderful World Of Backyard Critters". This blog is dedicated to a very polished Pole gentleman, Rysperski. "Rys, I know sometimes I breathed too much of those pit fumes, but it made me more appreciative of these critters. LOL"

Writing Prompt ~ Future Perfect

By 4 PM tomorrow, I will have left for London. I won't be more in the South hemisphere of the Earth because the plane will probably have crossed the Equator. So, arriving there at 3 AM, I will count on the kindness of my friend Jack to pick me up at the airport entrance so late. He will have picked me up in his new and high-tech car: a Land Rover model 2014. Then, we'll have eaten something in downtown London, maybe a tasty pizza or hot-dog. After that, I will have

Hello Guys. 

I know that I have been away from my posting blogs quite a lot. The reason why is that I have been studying, teaching Spanish and running a English conversation club at my work place. 

Today, I just want drop down some lines and reflect on how to improve our pronunciation. 

First of all, we have to be aware that this will take time and practice. At the beginning, many people are afraid to speak and make errors. At this stage my suggestion is that you have to speak, it doesn't matter if

This month I challenged our bloggers to write about their fathers in honour of Father's Day (June 15, 2014). I was pleasantly surprised that so many members decided to participate. Our members have shown me that dads are doing an amazing job around the world. This writing collection is dedicated to the dads of all MyEC members as well as the MyEC members who are dads themselves. Happy Father's Day!

The second part of The Wonderful World Of Backyard Critters is dedicated to my friend Grape Hyacinths who said that my previous blog reminds her of her childhood.

As I said in my previous blog (The Wonderful World Of Backyard Critters - Part I), the backyard critters/creatures are truly amazing. They taught me to appreciate little things. These critters really amazed me, and I hope you too will find them wonderful.

My Father The Faithful Husband

In response to this month's writing challenge, let me share to you a few things about my father.

He's a senior citizen who loves to watch NBA games - a fanatic of LA Lakers. He also likes to watch current affairs programs and read newspapers. He taught me the importance of r
