A special dinner

    I am missing my mother extremely. She has left me, left this world forever. I can only meet her in my dream.

    Suddenly, EC suggested to write about a special dinner.
If it is possible, I would like to invite my mother to this special dinner, of course, together my father and all my siblings. It would be an extremely special dinner for my large family. If my mother could come back from the dead, of course, every member would be glad to move to tear due to happiness.
When I was a child, my f

I've been a member of English Club for about two years now. Anyone here WHO's ever met me knows that I'm a huge DR. WHO fan.

Some may ask why I'd chose such an eccentric fictional character as a dinner guest. He's not exactly notorious for having excellent table manners.

(Here he is eating with his hands. Although not depicted in this photograph, both elbows are obviously on the table.)

 

Others may wonder, "WHO the heck is Eric writing about"?

Did You Know - It's All Red

It's been a while since I post a blog under the 'Did You Know?' series. So here it comes for the first 'Did You Know?' series in 2014. It's all about the colour red.

1. Caught Red Handed

2346772622?profile=originalThe meaning of caught red handed is to be caught in the act of committing a misdemeanour with the evidence.

War of the genders

People like comparing the genders, it is very debatable topic. For instance - whose life is worse, if men are so busy at work, all the time tired or if women are stuck in the kitchen, must do only their duties and take care of the kids. I was thinking about it and would like to show you in this blog describtion of one day with the views, which crossed my freaky mind. Just one thing - remember I am from Europe because in my opinion such issue might differ throughout the cultures we live in.

What a strange situation. Boss asked every employee to come to his office. What happened? Only I knew the answer to this question. Somebody tore the cheque I filled in. Since I work in the reputable bank and I had to work hard to get this job, immediately after getting to know what has happened I felt very insecure and stressed.

I Am 100

100 is always has a nice ring to it. It's like a magical number. It's like when you reach 100, everything is complete. It's like when you achieved 100% in your exams. Every effort that you have had put into your work is worth all the heartaches and headaches, or maybe even some little stomachache. 

So when I reached the 'magical 100' of my blog posts, I felt relieved. It's like I had achieved another milestones in my fledgling attempt in writing blogs. It's like, if I don't write a single blog af

I would like to invite Mr.Bean ( Rowan Atkinson ) as my dinner guest. In my view he is the NO.1 comedian in the world. When I was more younger , I was fond of his programme. This is incredible how he act without using voice. His every performance just wonderful. His johnny english  movie series one of my favorite movie.

 

It was night before my exam day. The  final exam of six grade. I finished my study hurriedly because I know Mr. Bean will appear on tv that night. Then I went to my mother and to

Uncountable Nouns (a Reminder)

I think everyone remembers that some nouns are countable like pencils, books, apples and cars.

We need to remember that uncountable nouns can not have a plural form, unless their form is plural to begin with. Then they don't have a singular form.

Countable Nouns:

apple...1 apple...2 apples

book...1 book ...2 books

pencil...1 pencil...2 pencils

car... 1 car... 2 cars

Uncountable Nouns:

water...We can't count it.  We have some water,  less water or more water.

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

writing challenge:what is life?

“What is life?”In my opinion, life has different aspects so it should have various definitions, such as: religious, scientific and personal.In religion, life is a bridge which we should pass to arrive at the other world. In this aspect we should gain things which are demanded for having a comfortable life after leaving this world.In another aspect, science, life is a period in which a creature is alive and can eat, breath and reproduce. The creature has particular requires and has different reac

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

Writing Challenge: Dinner Guest

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

Writing Challenge: Dinner Guest.

 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

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.
