Many of you are using the "tag" corrections in your blog posts! This is great. Thank you to all of the teachers and advanced learners who are helping. Please remember that teachers are not here to fix your mistakes. You must try to fix them yourself first. 

 

Andria is a new member who showed her corrections in a very clever way. When you share your corrections, you become the teacher for another English learner! 

 

You can use the "strike out feature" to show your corrections. 2346095876?profile=original

Kitty:

This is insane am I a suspect now! I just can’t believe this is happening. I was trying to put on a tranquil face in the detective office, despite the uneasiness I felt. Now he is working on papers on his desk. Can’t he do this after questioning me? Waiting just makes me more nervous or maybe he is doing this on purpose?

Again I tried not to focus on his frightening figure. How anyone could think that I might steel Gingey’s candy?  I wasn’t even any place around him when all this happened.

Atam Hatik Or The First Tooth

Hi, friends!

I know the name of my blog didn't tell anything to you, but if you carry on reading you'll get the meaning of it.

I am going to tell you about one of the national customs. I, personally, think, that traditions and customs make our life more colourful  and interesting, giving it additional meaning and sense.

So, Atam Hatik is one of them.

In Armenia, when a baby gets his or her first tooth, parents celebrate the occasion by giving a special party called Atam Hatik (translated into Englis

MY NEW COUNTRY (And My Day Job)

I am finally settling in to my new home and new job in Saudi Arabia.  I am teaching English as a Foreign Language, in a private secondary school for boys during the mornings.  I also go next door to the intermediate school and visit each English class there for one period each week.  I still do not have a reliable internet connection, so I am not able to do much here at my favorite English web site.

My very first experience

Here I want to share my story with you. I had a penpal several years ago. It was a Turkish guy who studied in Vilnius, Lithuania. He’s name was Serhan. We’d been chatting for about two months when he said that he is going to visit Minsk. I was really surprised and excited.

He came together with his friends. One of them was from France and another from Germany. So the only way we could communicate was English. It was my very first time I spoke with someone in English not in a classroom but in real

I promise

As I concider myself being one of MyEc community, I used to take part in its different parts such as: bloging, reading , commenting, interacting with others through greetings and chatting too. Strong emotional relationships were set and true friendship was born.

I've never imagined that I will be emotionally and concreatly close to My Ec, the way I am now.

For me it was just automatic to open MyEc page to feel the worth amount of enjoyment in being with you all my friends.

I will start with Tara, w

Always, we should have a purpose when we want to do something. We should not begin to work or do some activities without a purpose or motivation. That's the difference between getting a goal and failing it.

The first thing that comes in our mind before doing something is the goal but we never think about the purpose of that goal. Before doing something, we should ask ourselves: Why do I want it? What will I achieve when I do it? What will happen when I reach my goal? If we can answer all these qu

Have you ever tried to write a mystery? It's not as easy as you think! I recently wrote a mystery for English learners called "The Case of the Missing Ring".

Here are some things I learned about mystery writing:

1. Don't give away "who did it" until the end.
2. Give hints along the way. (The plot must thicken.)
3. Make each character look slightly guilty. (Each one needs a motive.)
4. Give the detective a unique personality.
5. Build interesting relationships between the characters.

It was fun writing

DAISY : Listen, don't stare like this at me. I told you already that I didn't steal Gingey's candy! And I'm telling you again that I'm not the thief. Why don't you believe me? Am I such a bad person that you still think I'm the culprit regardless of all those explanations I gave you? O my God, I can't believe this! I just can't believe this...... You don't know, I and Gingey are such great friends! Once I met a horrible accident and Gingey saved my life. How on earth I can steal something owned

True Confessions of an Addict

My name is Ohnie and I’m an addict.

It’s really difficult to hear my self say it. And even after finally being able to admit it, still, sharing it is a big challenge. But I feel that for my sake and for those who care for me, I need to come out clean. Hopefully, I can start from here.

At first, I wasn’t interested in trying it. But I did it, anyways. Why? I wasn’t exactly sure myself. Could it be boredom? Curiosity? Maybe I wanted to experiment? Or perhaps, I needed to prove something?

I don’t quit

Quotation.

"Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day." -Sally Kock-

 



Sometimes I wonder if it is necessary for others to know what and how we helped others. Because sometimes I can feel that I have to justify all my actions even if it's just a little act of kindness. Honestly, I always feel shy to say the kindness I have done for others and the reason for this is something I myself cannot understand why. I'm really very sorry if I don't know why I'm shy, maybe bec
