Hello all MyEc members,

        I am still learning English and when I write blog or chat to my friends. I always need the dictionary with me. As usual, I use it on my computer or my cell-phone. Since EC has dictionary in the right of my computer. It is helpful/convenience to me. But hihihi…as I said above. My English is still poor so sometimes when I want to find some words and if I type wrong words that I can not find what is it? I mean : look at my example : “comfor” instead of “comfort”. Then my dictionary will ask

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.

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

Hello there! This is MileyJ from Philippines. I am not well known to others but I guess some here knew me already. Maybe when they hear MileyJ, one thing that goes up in their mind is Music/Singing/Karaoke ;).

Honestly, I was surprised when someone sent me a message to participate in this kind of wonderful activity by Miss Tara - MyEC DJ. Thanks for informing me Star Y  and to others who believes in my ability (shy). I am not that 100% confident to be a DJ but all I want is to be part of #musicch

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

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...".

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
