What is the difference between "hear" and "listen"? Check out English Club's NEW lesson on Hear or Listen. Don't forget to try the hear or listen quiz. After you read the lesson and try the quiz, come back and tell me the difference between these sentences:
1. I hear a marching band.
2. I'm listening to a marching band.

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

Last year on EnglishClub.com we added a lesson on How to Carve a Pumpkin. This year, I recorded an audio track for it. But, be careful...this is not my usual voice.
1. Listen to the recording without the text. (Make sure to turn up your volume to full blast.)
2. Try to catch the gist. What on earth am I saying?
3. Listen again while reading the 10 Easy Steps. (This is a useful activity. Many English speakers do not annunciate as clearly as English teachers.)
4. If you have a mobile device from App

Hello, my name is Sohail Noor but most people call me SONO. I was born on Feb 10, 1990. I live in Afghanistan, with my big family. I live with my mother and other relatives (grand mom, uncle, aunt ...).
I don't have any brothers or sisters so that's a bit boring sometimes but I am not sad about it because I'm not that kind of person. I'm an active, easy-going and talkative person and I love to talk with new people.
I am self-confident. That's why i think i different from other students, but so
Dear MyEC friends,

As we were kids, my mother always told us not to trust people's appearance. And to help us to understand what she was meaning, she told us the story of an old man she knew who looked and lived as a tramp but in whose house his family found millions after his death.
2. Never wast food
My mother was quite strict and when my 5 brothers and sisters and I were sitting around the table for the meal, we had some rules to follow. one of them was to empty our plat
As you all know by now, Steve Jobs died on October 5th at the age of 56. I learned the sad news last night. I was walking in a charity event for cancer with my family in Toronto. We were walking in memory of my mom who died at the age of 51. Thousands of people were holding red balloons that lit up the night sky. As we walked past the cancer hospital where my mom spent many days before she died, a girl with a blue Cancer Survivor T-shirt looked at her iPhone and gasped. I turned around and hear
Hello my friends!
When passing by your precious blogs and discussions, I sometimes come across some mistakes: grammatical, spelling and others concerning structure and punctuation. Every time that happens, I feel like I need to correct them; howerver, I hold myself back and say," What if my correction hurts the feelings of the person in question; what if that person feels like his/her English is not good and stops writing again."
