The nicest person I've ever seen

How do you feel if you enter a room full of balloons that you can’t be able to even see the person next to you? How do you react if you see your doctor wears a clown outfit while examining you? How do you feel if you go to a hospital, and instead of being afraid, you have to play games, listen to funny jokes, paint or even plant flowers?

All these sound unreal. At least, they

Welcome to this month's writing challenge! Anyone can join. You don't even have to be a member of MyEC. You just need a blog! 

This month we are going to review the importance of paragraphs. A paragraph is a single block of text. It typically focuses on one main idea. A good paragraph size for the web is 3-5 lines.  

Paragraphs are important to readers. They help readers follow a piece of text more easily. It is difficult to read a large amount of text that doesn't contain paragraphs. If your read

Time to Read!!!

Thousands of books has been published every year. There are thousands of children all over the world who don't have their own piece of book because of the lack of sources especially in education. How many books do you have? Do you read at least one of them, or just a mini display on the corner of your room?

Reading is the easiest and natural way that everybody can do to sharpen our minds. Even our creative imaginations can be broaden into reading. Although there are millions of books released on

The Legend of Mahsuri

My friend Sima's love story of Shirin and Farhad had aspired me to write this story. The Legend of Mahsuri is a famous Malay legend which had been told and retold countless times and became a myth. I never read any of English version of this story, if any. I'm writing this story after gathering information from various local sources and trying my best to stay true to the legend.

My friend WMW asked me, how many Did You Know sequences am I going to write? Until now, I am yet to know the answer. However, here comes another blog Did You Know series, and I hope you can bear with me.

         My dear Teachers,

    Please forgive me if my idea is not good. I just want our club : “to become better”.

    I’m a student here, hihihi...a diligent student ..lol.. I’ve joined here nearly 2 years and I have so many best friends who help me a lot. I deleted my account one time because I got some trouble from it. It was my silly action and I’m still sorry for it. So today, after reading our Mod Expector’s blog ... I think...please let’s me : to give a “very small idea” .

My Traumatic Cat Experience

This morning, when I wanted to go to work, I heard a mewling sound coming underneath my car. Knowing that sometimes kitten(s) loved to lay down underneath my car, especially when it was a bit cold previous night, I tried my best to shush it away. I looked underneath my car, and was so relieved when I saw no kitten underneath it anymore, or so I thought.

2346602271?profile=originalAs usual, it took me about 40 to 45 minutes to reach my office. Once I shut down the engine and took my handbag, suddenly I heard another mewling

I've noticed that some of our active members are so tired of unpleasant things or members here and even considering leaving MyEC, or rather, some of them may have found MyEC was not so good a place to stay put and already left. That's so bad for MyEC itself and for those who loved and had to leave it - I'm so sorry for that, too.

So many members here find MyEC is one of the best English-leaning places and they may have said to themselves that "MyEC is just the site I've been trying to look for."

Have you been fishing lately?

The English Language is like a vast ocean.  It isn't uniform, and it contains a lot of variety with many possibilities lurking out of sight, hidden away under its murky waters.  In some places its depth is shallow and easily understood while in other areas it may go very deep indeed - deeper than even experienced ocean voyagers may realize.

As you are fishing in its depths where you are, you may not catch every possibility.  The rule you have reeled in may not be uniform; it may have some snags a

2346574208?profile=originalHi MyEC members,

Have you ever tried taking forced perspective photos? This is something like a photographic trick that makes your photos look interesting and incredible. Maybe you can "touch" a tall building that is far away, "wear" a pair of big shoes, "drink" a cup of tea from the waterfall,  make a smaller object looks larger than its real size, etc. Your imagination would make the photo one-of-a-kind and impressive! OK, now let's give it a try and have fun!

Naming customs

           Hello my friends!!

   Naming customs vary from one country to another. Having this huge diversification led me to ask this question: How did our ancestors around the world find their babies' names? Ethnic and religious customs and so many other factors can drive you to a strong, ethnically rooted, meaningful name. Is this not so? I have made some researches about naming customs in the world and I am going to cite about some countries

This blog hasn't corrected, it’s full of mistakes. I didn't want it to be viewed or checked by any native speaker, as I usually do. Because I think it would be quite charming to be posted with mistakes. ‘’Blog fits with the title’’


In this blog, I want to talk about the mistakes that I used to make throughout my learning.
As far as I am concerned the learner isn't impeccable from making errors, therefore everyone can make mistakes and even in his/her native language. That could be in grammar, sp
