HI

I really love music. It makes me feel good & relaxed. Not only me I think every person on this Earth is music addicted. Music can bring two souls together.

I love to do singing too. I don't want to be a singer, it's just my hobby. But I was planning to perform something on cultural festival, so I asked my sister that how's my voice? Do I sing good or bad. I got a negative reply from her. It made me sad. But I didn't listen to her and I practice daily to do good in my singing, So I can perform.

I

My sincere thanks to Teacher Tara who have shared her idea about the infographic and inspired me to create this photo challenge.

Hi guys, do you interact with many friends at MyEC and know their personalities very well? Should your answer be an "yes" I would love you to take part at the challenge and tell us about them.

The Rules:
1 - Select one of your friends and describe her/him personality (You are only allowed to write five positive personalities). This link will help to describe their person

Once in a while someone have done a useful upgrade to us. Well, it's not like all other upgrades have been non useful though, and probably I didn't mean also, that all those times when I have logged in, and here haven't been any new features and upgrades added. The ones responsible, just are siting idly doing nothing... :P But maybe they actually are doing that, and maybe there have been only meaningless upgrades too. So just in case, I actually felt the need to emphasize the fact, that this tim

  My country, the Philippines, is celebrating Women's Month. I would like to take this opportunity, to dedicate this blog to the fantastic females of MyEC. Here is my participation for February's writing challenge.

Nadiyah is known for moderating photos, inviting everyone to join in the photo challenge, and helping new members to be familiar in EC.
Nadira is a chat moderator, a teacher, and a good friend.

I love infographics. An infographic is a visual representation of information. It is a great way to summarize research or a survey. It's kind of like an online poster. Here is a great infographic about blogging.

I'm currently working on a NEW Writing Guide for EnglishClub.com. (You've seen the NEW Reading Guide, right?) This infographic is a sneak preview of what it will be about.

Can you create your own infographic and post it on your blog? Try to choose a font that is easier to read than the one

Did you find the "More..." button on a page? Are you using it? I hope so!

I love the "More..." button, with which I can read all the comments or posts I missed. For example, I don't want to miss any comment or post by Tara. I can go to her page and click on the "More..." and I can see all of her comments or posts I failed to read. That's great!

So, try using the "More...".

MyEC Chat in a nutshell for beginners/new members:

MyEC Chat is a wonderful place to start your journey of learning. Along the way, you can meet and make friends from all around the world. Interacting with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds significantly improves your English language skills, and puts you on a fast track towards achieving excellence.

Find a teacher who can help you overcome your weak points: This can be achieved by asking for guidance in main chat room. When a member rep

It is  refreshing indeed  to  see  a new format  at  the chat room  making  it more difficult  for those of whom to make  problems  on the mains

There are many good  advanced  and  fluent  speakers  who keep away  as  there is only  aim less chatter and  natter  most  of the  time. Of course  no one  can be  serious  all the time  and can be expected  to . I may be  wrong  correct  me  if  I am so and  it  would  be  ideal if  you could  share as a  blog an interesting topic you had  chatted or r

What is the difference between a comma and a period? A comma is a pause. A period is a full stop.

In English, punctuation is important. If you care about your readers, learn how to use punctuation properly. We all make mistakes sometimes. In fact, I have to look up comma rules regularly. This is one of my favourite resources for advanced comma questions. 

The most common punctuation error I see on MyEC is the comma splice. This is the use of a comma instead of a period between two independent clau

Dear sister, 

First of all, I have to say sorry for being so late to reply to you, but as u know we got snow here in my country this week end and consequently; no electricity, means no internet.

Concerning my letter, I feel very happy that you like it and the pleasure is really shared, and you know that !! It seems that you have good news about your work, you are clever, and you will succeed this is evident...

 For me too every thing i ok, I am still doing my training and enjoying, but at the same

I've spent a bit of time in the chat room over the last few days. I know that MyEC is a great social network for English learners and teachers, but I also know that we can do a better job of keeping our chat room focused on English learning. Many chatters have requested moderated chats. A moderated chat works best when a specific topic is chosen. For example, every Wednesday English language teachers participate in a moderated chat on Twitter called #ELTchat. We have a different topic each week.

Do you all know about the NEW feature in the MyEC chat room? It's the "Ignore"button. 

To find this button, make sure you have popped out of chat first.This will make the chat room window bigger. 

After you pop out, you can see the names of the people you are chatting with in the main room and in private rooms. Click on a name to see the drop down menu. Choose Ignore.

Why would you need to "Ignore" chatters in the MyEC chat room? 

• They are using abusive language.
• They are communicating in a language

Dear Navedoo, 

Fancy seeing your letters again, because I haven't talked to you for yonks. First of all I should ask for your forgiveness ; As you know it's all about time, but for sure I will call round sooner.

I can't tell you when I remembered this history that was one of my selcouth Diaglyphs, I was like :"I'm done up like dog's dinner". At that day, I had prepared a shopping list with beef, cheese and some meat. I still have the image of your disenchanted face looking absolutely stunning. Wel

Dear EC,

First of all thanks and congratulations to you for taking a place in my favourite websites list ! It was a time when I searched and went through many websites for improving my English skills. Do you know that most of the members who visit you become your fans and love you. Do you know that if I write history about SN, you would be at the top. It's my luck to see myself as a star member among all your superstars & starts. The information, knowledge, news and all the things I'm getting f

Dear Ultimate,

In response to Tara's writing challenge about uncountable nouns, I am writing this letter to you depicting a fiction story about an incident, that might test your patience.

Do I need to mention the time when you were caught shop lifting at a store. I did not know what had gotten into you. Your conduct was dubious from the beginning of the day as you came out of your house dressed as an Eskimo while I was pondering how hot the weather was.

Since the heat was unbearable, we got into a

Welcome to the first Writing Challenge of 2012! This year we will be focusing on some specific problems that I noticed in your writing in 2011. Each month I will challenge you to become an expert in a certain aspect of the English language.

This month we are going to work on uncountable nouns. Do you ever catch a friend using the word  informations? What about the word advices? These are not English words. Information and advice are uncountable nouns. They don't have plural forms and we treat the
