Hi. everybody!
Want to tell you a few words about our (my and my girlfriend's) trip to Phuket, the famous island and resort of the country of Thailand. It's lying 800 km south of Bangkok and it's very popular among Russian tourists thanks to its numerous beaches, rich nightlife and wonderful nature. We began our trip with 8-hour train-moving to Moscow. It's rather weird, but it's much more exprensive to fly directly from Saint-Petersburg to Phuket, than from Moscow, so we decided to visit our ca
Hello Everyone!
I think, this time is new year holiday in most of countries over the world. But I'm doing work in office now because my country will take 14 days off for Lunar new year (from Jan. 18, 2012 untill Feb. 01, 2012).
Do you know what I am doing at the first day of new year? Besides the daily work, I've to write a self assessment about my job in 2011 as our manager required. In additional, I have to set up short-term and long-term goals on what to achieve in the next twelve months, nex
I just returned this week from a trip to America. My wife and I went there to see our daughter graduate from university. This is a photo of her about the time she started going to the university.
I also went home to see my family and friends. I will tell about that part of the trip later.
I started my trip in Jeddah, KSA.
From there, my wife and I flew to New York City.
We got to see two of my wife's sisters while we were waiting all day for our plane to Texas. Here is my wife and her sisters
I have just changed my profile photo (avatar) - this is the first time I've ever changed it!
I bet you are already familiar with my old avatar, and some of the members here (like anele) may not really want me to change it. I don't think it's a good idea to change one's profile photo frequently, but it's quite acceptable to change it from time to time. Actually, some of the members have suggested I change it. I never changed the photo because I think it may make it hard for other members to easily
Hello my dear EC family,
Today is the last day of the year 2011, time to say good bye 2011 and happy new year 2012. And today I am so glad to say that I became one year old on EC. heheheh..It was the same day a year ago when I joined EC with having the purpose of improving my English skills. After looking on internet for English learning site once I came across EC, in the beginning two - three months I was not very familiar with EC and I was a big addicted fan of Farmville on Facebook and after
Hi! I'm Robbie, am a proud member of MyEC. Since this year is coming to an end, let me share to you some of my activities that I had accomplished from being an active member. I considered them as my adventures of learning.
- I uploaded my videos.
Making a video about learning English wasn't an easy task. It took me a lot of guts, hard work, and determination to have one. The Learning English Video Contest 2011 inspired me to share my ideas about blogging. Though I didn't get the prize, I'l
Thank you to all of the MyEC members who have taken my Writing Challenges in 2011. I enjoy reading and correcting your writing. You inspire me! You should be very proud of what you have accomplished.
We are coming to the end of a year, and it's time to reflect on the past and prepare for the future. One word that helps us do this in English is the word "if". Do you know how to use this word properly?

1. Review the structure of Conditionals on EnglishClub.com. Take the quiz to check your
So, here we are… A few days into the New Year. It is the time we hear people making plans and think maybe if we do too, it is no harm. Or, feel like must do, or maybe not…
In order to start doing something, making a to-do-list is always better. At least, according to doing nothing… Moreover, every year brings about a thoughtful look at the past. As the year comes to an end everybody makes plans to change the deleterious or lazy parts of their lives. Why not start with new year’s resolutions? "New

Funny note:
This week I could not decide between this potato picture and this hilarious image recommended by @fionamau. (Would anyone else like to use it? Go ahead and create your own Wordless Wednesday post with an ELTpic. Just follow the rules for giving credit to the photographer.)
I've noticed that some of the members here prefer clicking on the "Like" to adding a comment on what they've just read or seen. There's nothing wrong, though, and most likely the blogger will appreciate it if you click on the button after you've read their blogs. I just wanted to say it might be not good enough to show your appreciation by just clicking on the "Like" rather than really adding a comment on what you really liked.
I usually leave a comment on what I like. I just read this blog by Ta
We all learn new things in a different way. Some people learn best one way more than another.
Personally, I need to read something in order to learn it well. I like to take notes and rewrite what I've learned. Wise quotes help me take in important information. I need to see a map or read directions if I want to go somewhere new. You could say I'm a visual learner. Visual learners need to see something in front of them, such as a diagram, a video, or a written explanation in order to learn it we
Standing in front of the window,I looked at the flying snow outside,then I think of the snow one year ago in my hometown.But now I am far from home in a distant place leaving my wife alone at home.
Frankly speaking,I graduated in 2009 and have worked in this field for almost three years.Usually we need to fly form one place to another when one project is finished,and most time of the year we will be outside. That is the worst thing to my wife as I know.often for two or three months I will make a
On the way to school today, my daughter asked a funny question:
Is there another word for "hiccup"? (also spelled "hiccough")
I thought for a while, but I couldn't think of a synonym for hiccup. My daughter is fascinated by words and wordplay and has asked for a traditional hardcover dictionary (the big fat kind) for Christmas. I still remember when I got my big red Webster's dictionary for Christmas. I dreamed of being a writer, and I knew I would need one! (I only wish I hadn't tossed it before
I consulted a grammar book again when I was trying to find an answer to a question this morning - it's been a long time since I last read the book. When I was looking through its table of contents, I found I needed to read some of its items again because I wasn't so sure if I really understood them, or rather some of the entries were so unfamiliar to me now even though I had read them more than once.
Yes, people forget things, and repetition seems to be one of the most effective ways to learn. So
Here is an extensive list I've collected of video and audo sites for learning English, especially pronunciation:

"You better watch out. You better not cry. Better not pout, I'm telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town."
Christmas is just right around the corner. The big ole guy with a fat white beard in a red suit is back!
"He's making a list and checking it twice. Gonna find out who's naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town."
I remember when I was a kid, every year I would hang one of my socks on our window on Christmas eve before going to bed. (Yes, it's the
Christmas is in the air. Burrrrr...and I'm freezing! I especially love this season of the year not only because of the cold weather but also because I get to listen again and again to those sweet Christmas carols. I believe that the spirit of Christmas is incomplete without the Christmas music playing wherever we go. So I thought we can all spread this joyful season here on EC by sharing and listening to each other's favorite Christmas song.
I'd love it if you would please post here your al
Thank you to those for whose condolences on my beloved husbands death.
I have enjoyed my time here at EC . I have to take some leave now and concentrate on my waiting period through prayers and patience on behalf of my beloved husband
Thus I will not visit FB or EC through out my waiting period of four months and ten days
Peace and Blessings
Nadira
