In our busy schedule it's really difficult to go to all friends' pages to greet them...I add this blog because I always miss them and want to greet them even if I'm busy...but it's not worrying I'll be here always to entertain you all with my blogs and comments as much as I can and the main thing is that EC is just like my second home I can't go out from here for long time and it's my English class too, from where I'm learning English.
You are all family of my second home...I wish you'll try you

Thank You !!
What is the busiest schedule you have ever had in school? To be more clear, I am asking how many classes you have ever taken or taught on a weekly basis?
I love teaching English, but I have been teaching 43 classes a week! That is 23 classes in the mornings and 20 classes at night, each week.
I admit that I haven't been able to prepare for classes the way I would like to. I also admit that I have been very poor at keeping in touch with my English Club friends since I arrived in Saudi Arabia last

How to write an interesting caption for a Wordless Wednesday Blog: By Expector Smith
Leaders ,trains and Doctors never come on time in India.
Here, I want to talk about doctors. It is an old proverb in India that "Doctor is the second God on this Earth" , and this second God check their patient with their full patience.

"Not to work properly and to be late as much as they can they need in their fundam

Do you add images to your blog posts? Images attract the interest of your readers and make your posts more memorable. It is also useful to have images in your presentations.
Finding images that you have permission to use can be tricky. It is illegal to copy and paste pictures from the Internet if they are not in the public domain. I prefer to use my own images. I know I have permission to use them. Occasionally I don't have a good picture to use for a blog post. I subscribe to a clipart site tha
