9/11 attacks - 10 years on.

 

This 10th anniversary brings back a lot of memories. 

That 9/11/01 was supposed to be a great day as one of my friend and I had planned to go to Germany to spend a relaxing day.
So
 we headed to Aachen in the early morning and we spent the first hours of the day visiting the city. It was a beautiful fall day and the leaves on the trees were already turning yellow and red, the weather was warm and that special autumn smell was in the air. We

I can`t remember this date, without remember my dream, and that dream is the one that I want to share with you today, I had it two days before the attack, and I never, never imagine that I was watching part of the future.

" I dreamed that I was walking with a lot of people, dressed in white robes, they`re walking silently toward a big mountain that in the top had a giant tree.. it was a beutiful and big silver tree, I walked with them and asked to one of them about their destination, one of them

We all bring a different perspective to this historic event. Some of you may have been too young to remember the event, and will have different views about it than those who watched it on

Big Words

Hello guys,

 

Doing some researches, I saw a very long word in English on the Internet and had the curiosity of asking if you know a longer one. Here it comes... Neuropsychopharmacology. Really long, uh?

So, have you ever seen a word like this in English? If so, I would love to read it! Share it with us!

 

Take care,

 

Joyce.

I found this list on www.world-english.org  i thought that it could interest some members here. All the words aren't new for me, but I had never heard those like "alacrity, arcane, brazen, demure"... 

I was surprised to see that some French words as "avarice" and "brusque" are also used in english with the same meaning and that many other have french roots. Amazing !!!

A Newbie...!

 

Hi, guys!

Allow me to introduce myself. My name’s Gabriel Sowrian. I’ve joined the “EnglishClub” in the hope it will give me an opportunity to get together with like-minded people.

I'm interested in learning and sharing thoughts on how to improve one's "Spoken English". Though my prime focus is the "Pronunciation" aspect of the language, I'd also love to hear from you about other components as well; Vocabulary, Spelling, Grammar, etc.

I'm sure you'll agree with me that learning should be a lifelon

What I Learned Last Week

 

Monday, Aug.22th, 2011.
I learned a very important point in the "Problem Solving" class. According to the professor, if you can not solve a problem, it means you don't have enough information to solve it. So, he emphasized that we had to add more information instead of saying, "I am dumb."

As I thought about it, I found two examples of two scientists that had a great impact on our society. One of them was a Persian physician, Ibn-Sina. Once he could not understand a medical book. He tried to r

Our Dreams

Our DreamsWhen I was small I was thinking that dream is a beautiful thing but it is impossible to become reality.Now, I have a different look for dream.Sometimes the dream is not something impossible or needs a miracle to get out into the light, but it needs hard work.So, hard work may be the key for most beautiful dreams, but through that work we may lose some friends because they don't give us the excuse when we are busy, we may lose happy moments with our family, and we may lose happy times o

Welcome to my world …

This is the first time I write blog on EC although I’m a member of our family for a long time. I used to think of many different ways to attract everyone and set plans to enhance my English. However, I didn’t have any improvement. I blame for my tight studying schedule, my busy work, my sickness, blah blah … As a result, my English gets worse and worse. That is because I’m afraid of making mistakes, and do not have enough determination to pursue my plan. Truly, I’m not self-confident when using
