Hey there,
Let's learn two more words before the year ends.
Exotic: Adjective: Something is exotic because it is attractive due to being out of ordinary or colorful. Like these are exotic birds..
Zeal: Noun: Great energy or enthusiasm for something.
Example: I can only blame the zeal for travelling for my low savings but I feel it is worth for the life saving vivid memories than money.
Happy learning and
Have a happy new year!!

One night, many years ago, when I was ill with flu and was turning from side to side unable to fall asleep.
I don't remember that night clearly, but I just know that I saw one unknown woman in my room. She touched my shoulder like my mom does, smiled and said sleep. And when I closed my eyes she disappeared.
On the next day I told about that to my mom and she was shoked. Because nobody entered to my room that night. Now I realize that probably it was hallucination or just a dream. But I am not exa
So exams are over and I can continue the challenge!
Hope you remember that you don't have to stress on writing a Shakespearean piece, just a few lines are enough to practice new words. Just use then in context and try to remember ..
Here are the words:
Hallucination: (Noun) : So tell me if you have seen something that does not actually exist or not really in front of you... and you are not dreaming as well, yes you are awake and you are hearing voices that are in your head.... ever happened? if th
Hello, my fellow bloggers! Time flies quite quickly, isn’t it? It’s almost 2018 and what a nice way to have some sort of a recap about the blogs that I published all these years! This idea is actually from our very own fun, fearless catwoman… Mary. In case you haven’t read her blog already, you may check out the link below.

It’s a little bit tough to choose only 5 out of my 110 blogs (Sorry, Mary!).
I wrote this blog sometime in 2014.
Last night it was raining. The sky was getting illuminated intermittent lightening. Power was fluctuating, and finally, it was gone and I got dc (disconnected) from my friend on the net. I left the table with an inner gloom and went to the balcony. It was raining heavily with thunder. I let the downpour come upon my body just to try to wash off all the fatigue of the day. There was darkness outside, just the rays of a few emergency lights peeping through the
Japanese people hear characteristic sounds every season.
In spring, we hear the songs which birds sing in the early morning as if they are delighted at coming of spring. Most creatures seem to welcome the coming of spring.
In summer, we can hear the sound of cicadas chirping. They are very loud, but the sound from a distance have a good taste for me. A famous Japanese haiku poet wrote a poem , it's「閑けさや 岩に染み入る 蝉の声」. I think in English it can be translated as 「The calmness, it is merging into the r

Think about some of these new (and kind of lost) EC members who are coming here for first time and don't know anything about you or your activity in EC, but you would like them to get to know it: Which 5 blogs would you suggest them to read from your list of blogs if you'd like them to know your
WEEKEND DIALOG with A FRIEND
ME: I can't take it anymore. I know I still have many things to do. But just today, let me rest my brain.
FRIEND: What?? NO!!! You don't need to do that. If you feel that dizzy, you could remove your head and put it on the table. When you feel any better, you can reset it again.
ME: I can't believe that you'd have such a great advice. But please, excuse your stupid unconscious friend! Can you help me do that?
FRIEND: Of course. You can have a rest here in your comfortabl
Once, while feeding the goats in the forest, I met a woman. She was the weirdest creature I ever saw. And if you think that I am exaggerating, she had a shoe in one leg and another leg was bare!
And as I was afraid to talk to her, she came and said, "Hi, I am an alien unconscious woman! My shuttle broke down, so now I have to be going here and there for food, on this planet, until I will be able to go back to my home-planet." I said, "Wow! Nice to meet you!"
I lead the goats to home and returned b
As yesterday was Friday I decided to enjoy my life little bit and went to the bar with my friends. We were drinking, dancing and had great fun. Anyway, later I felt a bit drunk and weird as if somebody put drugs in my drink. Oh nooo my drink was spiked! My legs were so weak, my arms became so numb that I dropped them on the floor. What the hell was this? My friends were just laughing like insane and put them better in the plastic bag - just in case I would need them one day again. When the barm
Some days ago, I was reading a book when a friend called me up via Skype.
My friend is a Canadian, He's a forty-five years old man with German roots from his grandparents. I know, he misses Germany because he hadn't been here for many years. He has still relatives in Germany. He told me to come in the next spring when Germany is more beautiful than in other seasons of the year.
My friend is a musician and poet. He writes and composes the own songs. Playing the guitar and singing is his life.

Some things just happen. Life doesn't ask us, what we want because life actually doesn't care. What counts is our attitude and decissions we make. They are like a huge arrow, which shows us the direction. No matter if we choose easy or complicated way - eventually we end up somewhere. All the slaps and backstabs are without doubt painful but after all... going through the burning hell makes us much more resistant. Unscounsciously we push ourself one level higher because we all long for being our
MEGAEC City had been covered by a huge wave of atrocities this weekend. Many dead discussions were dug from the discussion cemetery. Many people were stressed out because their mistakes had been pointed in a rude way. Panic began in the city. Many reports were written to the police department. That is why Special Agent Roman Squirrel (not clumsy one) had been appointed in order to investigate this case.
The traces of a cat claws were spotted at the crime scenes. Also some parts of the black hair

WEATHER FORECAST
Here is the forecast for next 24 hours.
This is not good news for those who are planning ‘dating’. The weather will be pretty stormy, so the indoor dating will be too crowded for those who have some secret planning for their partners. Outside in daytime, the weather will be pretty hot, may affect the temperature of the caring parent for their daughters, so I have to warn all the boys to be careful with their girlfri

This is a true story that happened with my mom one year ago.
One day, it was October or November, at 8-9 pm o`clock I was coming back from the city to home in the village. And as always the way to home was going through the forest. It was dark there. And in each hand I carried a bag, so I could not use a flashlight. It was very quiet inside forest, because of absence of wind.
And suddenly, right in the middle of my way to home, I heard the steps of 2-3 creatures behind me... I started to walk fast
Hi bloggers and everyone who likes writing. :)
I’m sure all of you know what passive voice is. Passive voice can change the focus of interest by placing the object at the beginning of the sentence. Subjects are often omitted in the sentence as they are usually unimportant, unknown, or obvious.
Passive voice is commonly used in news report. Hence, for practicing the passive, I challenge you to write a news report. :)
Here is your task:
1. Choose a topic of your interest, then make a title of your ne
