Hello guys,
today some melancholic and sad mood wanted to destroy my optimistic soul, so I decided to go through the best therapy - to compose a poem. Autumn depression is here, exactly as I have described it in my blog about autumn, now I HATE YOU, AUTUMN!!! :-) Just pray for me so that it would be soon gone and I wouldn't bother you anymore with some silly poems :-D

HIDDEN IN THE MIST

At times I want to find myself in the thick mysterious mist,

in place where no people, no obstacles, nor limits e

Hello Friends,

Here is my dialogue between Peter and Paul. Right now, we have an upcoming senatorial election which will be held in December.

Peter & Paul

Peter: Hi Paul, What’s up??

Paul: I am fine Peter. Please tell me who are you going to vote for in the upcoming Senatorial Elections?

Peter: I am going to vote for Ambassador George Weah of course.

Paul: George Weah? What has he really done for our county when it comes to peace building and development that make you think he’s going to be a good sen

It's really difficult for me to write dialogues but, still I am giving myself a chance.

I have tried to a write dialogue between two friends one of whom lacks confidence.

Tom: Hey, how are you Elly.

Elly: Hi, I'm just fine!

Tom: Just fine? Why? What happened?

Elly: I'm nervous!

Tom: Oh, why you are nervous? Dear you can share your problem with me. Tell me what is bothering you? I will surely try to fix your problem!

Elly: You are my good friend and, I'm sure you probably take me out from the problem.

To

Here goes my attempt in trying to write a whole dialogue. As Mr. Bob said, just imagine two people talking to each other. I found it's not so hard after that. So, try not cringe at this conversation. Please be patient with these two chirping birds. LOL

Ina : So, what's the plan for this year? Are we going to visit Europe as planned or are we going to go somewhere else?

Ita : I don't know. I've been thinking about it a lot, but I still can't make up my mind. What do you think?

Ina : You know I prefe

Dear Susan,

your latest letter made me sad so the only one thing I can do for you as your best friend is to give you some piece of advice I consider the most effective. I know that it isn't easy at all to live alone after divorce and I know that you find each and every advice people order you sort of unreal.  Anyway, Susan, life goes on and my advice is: "Get on with it, girl! Don't be stuck in the past better live in the present moment." Another word of advice, which is on my mind and might be u

Did you ever wonder why the comments were closed for a certain blog?

You may have assumed that the comments must have been closed by a moderator or the admin or the system itself, which may have puzzled you because you didn't find anything wrong with the blogs or the bloggers. In fact, I was puzzled too, and I tried to consult with Tara (the admin), and it turned out that the bloggers themselves disabled the comments. 

There are a variety of reasons for them to do this. They may not want to receiv

Dear Tim,

Your winter vacations have just started and I am sure you will have plenty of leisure time. I would like to advise you to take advantage of this free time and start reading a good book or try to read some random short stories. Reading something like fantasy/fiction could be very beneficial for you, as reading fiction will help you to build up your imagination skills. It can help you to improve your vocabulary too. Take advantage of this piece of advice. My teacher once gave me the same 

Hello friends,

today I would like to help you little bit and I hope my advice will be useful at least for some of you. You know, I have read many blogs here, no matter what your English level is, and if I sum it up, many times I have come across one mistake, which repeats over and over again. What is it?

Ok let me reveal this mysterious mistake... ehmm... wait, wait.. not now, let me firstly point out that  I don´t want to be here in the position of somebody superior, of course we all make the mis

As usual, after coming back from a long holiday, my brain refuses to cooperate and think too hard. Thus, I need to stop this mental blockage and write something. But then the question is, what should I write? Another rambling? I don't think I want to torture other people with that anymore. So here comes my favourite topic, 'Did You Know?'. In this blog, it's about legal and justice, and hence the word 'court'.

1. Kangaroo Court

Kangaroo court means an unfair, biased or hasty judicial proceeding wh

Hello guys,
I decided to take part in Mr. Bob´s Dialogue Challenge and to prove that dialogue is possible to make even though it is just one man - ehm woman show :-D

So here is my link with audio record:

And here is the text:

Peter: Hello Jane, how are you doing, my friend?
Jane: Hello Peter, to be honest, I am little bit down, that´s why I decided to call you.
Peter: Ohhh, I

Hi everyone, 

Have you heard the NEW EnglishClub Learning Song that Jonathan made for us? 

It would be fun to make another version of this song with the help of MyEC members. Do you have any ideas? Here are two ideas.

• a karaoke version with MyEC members singing along
• (Remember our version of Heal the World that Junco organized? I listened to it today and teared up a little.)
• a version with MyEC member pictures (perhaps members could hold up a page with their country on it or their favourite thing a

~The discontentment and frustration that you feel is entirely your own creation.~

I found this quote on Internet, it inspired me to share my views on it.

Lets just suppose:

A person, brought up in a peaceful and simple atmosphere surrounded with people who are not running after any competition like high standards of living or a luxurious life. He/She  has the basic needs of life like; food, shelter, education, clothing and a reasonable job. Such a person with a mild or simple life style would have

It is sometimes useful and fun to practice dialogues with someone. I have been looking on the internet, but haven't found many for higher level students.  I wrote this one today and offer it to you to practice with.

If you want to, you can write a dialogue of your own and share it for others to use. You can link it to this blog in the comments and we will all try help you correct your grammar and make the dialogue sound like natural English speech.  Anyway, here is the one I wrote today:

EARTH DAY

    LOVE EACH OTHER & HELP ONE ANOTHER

We live together with my husband, my dog Callisto and our cat Fındık but also each other respect to one another,....we have respect for one another

In the beginning Callisto and Fındık hate hated each other but as the time went by, they love loved one another and recognize recognized their privacy. So they learned a lot about each other.

Callisto and I feel sad to dogs (inc. all animals) who are in the poor condition, I am sorry to say that in the cold w

1. Don't use me during school examinations

I can be used for cheating on school exams. I have the ability to cheat on exams by sending the right question answers via SMS among several classmates at a glance.

2. Don't change your study for me

I'm skillful to distract while you're doing important daily activities like studying. With thousands of new applications and games everyday  I tent to not let you study all you should, and so, you can't get a good grade whether you're a college or high-school s

You may have learned English for years or ages, but you are still unable to speak it fluently or you still find it difficult to understand what other people are talking about on TV or radio. If you are just one of them, you should try to ask youself if you have failed to pay enough attention to the pronunciation, or if you have tried to pronounce every new word. 

I know a lot of learners of English can read and understand quite well what are written on paper, but they are weak on speaking and lis

Hi, everyone. 

I've got a countryside house where my parents live most of the time in a year so I like coming there and usually I take photos in the forest and ...yes yes, I take my basket and I gather mushrooms and berries there. It's logic that I know the names of the mushrooms in my native language but what about in English? And I started googling.....(as usual, all photos are mine). 

Need to say that I never buy mushrooms in supermarkets. The whole family of mine every summer gather a lot of m
