Some people may think English grammar is important. To make a grammatically correct sentence, you need to learn grammar such as verb tenses, prepositions, countable/uncountalbe nouns, collocations and so on - it definitely takes a lot of time and effort to learn all of them. And, if you want to pass an English test such as TOEFL, IELTS, you also need to learn grammar. Thus, people here (where I live) usually spend a lot of time learning grammar and they may start to learn it from the very beginn

LETTER,E-MAIL,OR BOTH??

   Nowadays,e-mails have taken the place of letters .it's more adequate,speed and economic. But,can you have the same feeling when opening your letter boxe and find one or some letters that you were waiting ,and when opening the computer then find e-mails ?

Tips on writing blogs

In order to write a good blog, you really need to:

1. know why you want to write one. You may want to express your feelings, thoughts or opinions about something. Or you may have a good idea, a short story or some information to share. Or you just want to write a blog for yourself.

2. make sure your writing is legible/readable. No one really likes reading anything more complicated/time consuming or full of mistakes. Make your blogs succinct/concise - using simplified sentences in short paragraphs.

Game #10: Find Someone Who...

magnifying glass

One game that many teachers play in English class is "Find someone who...". In this game the students go around the room and find classmates who can answer "yes" to a list of questions. This game is useful in two ways:

1) You practise turning statements into questions.2) You have to meet many different people to complete the survey. (You can't rely on just a few friends.)Let's try it on MyEC using this survey:Find someone who...1. ........loves to drink apple juice.2. ........knows how to do a F

Shall we ballet?

Hello everyone!I want to talk about "ballet."Do you know ballet?Most people image volleyball. But it means dancing.

Ballet is the most difficult sport because it's all arts.Do not just dance alone, do not just express, do not just dance to show guests.Leaving everything on stage.For example the character of the person standing on the stage, thinking now of the person standing on the stage and so on.The stage is all exposed.To say in other words a stage can't tell a lie.Many sports require a few v

carols

Whether you are studying English in a foreign country, or on your own at home, listening to music is a great way to practice your skills! You can find English music stations online, or listen to English music on sites such as YouTube.

Many people (regardless of religion) sing holiday songs during the month of December. These songs are also known as carols. One fun way to practise writing is to adapt (change) the lyrics of a carol (or other popular song). When you adapt lyrics, you keep some of t
