Sharing My Story #1: Deuce666 and My EC

Posted by deuce666 on October 9, 2010

My English Club! So many pleasant words can be said, so many pleasant emotions to be described…!!I was looking for websites for English learners for a long time when one day I visited MyEC (as a guest ) and thought “Why not sign up?” ( I do not remember the date because I didn’t pay much attention to this event in my life but I know for sure it was about 9 months ago ). So I signed up…unfortunately I failed to see the variety of opportunities this club could give to me to improve my English and

Writing Challenge #5: Windows of the World

Posted by deuce666 on October 7, 2010

These are pictures I’ve just taken (Ukraine, midday) … that’s what you can see looking through my living room window...

What do I see ….? Well…it depends on what I want to see at some definite moment and what I want to notice and what things I consider as unimportant and don’t see them at all. My view changes every second as the city is alive (though when you look at the pictures it seems that it’s still sleeping)…people walking, wind blowing, sky clearing up and then clouding over again, the tax

How to learn from our mistakes

Posted by Expector Smith on March 1, 2010

When we write or speak English, we may make all kinds of mistakes - spelling, grammar, or collocation. But we can learn from our mistakes. Then, how do we learn from them? My answers are as follows:

1. Reread what you wrote or recall what you said for possible mistakes. Be aware that you may have used some words or expressions incorrectly or inappropriately. We make mistakes even when we write a simple sentence or speak an easy word. English can be so tricky. It's not a breeze for learners to ch

Hi, I'm new here, but I already like this club, I think it's a kind of a family and soon I will become a part of this friendly family.There are so many interesting things to read and learn, different stories. As for me there is nothing better than to meet new people from different countries, to get to know about their cultures and traditions, have a friendly chat and laught together...It was a great idea to create EC.Have a nice day.

A Call

Posted by Robbie on September 24, 2010

Working in a call center industry is a no easy task. Everyday you have to talk to different types of people, especially in an airline account, you have to follow the guidelines that the company provides. You have to make sure you make a correct and accurate reservations.When you receive a call, you have to show to the caller or guest a pleasant and welcoming voice. Having a complete idea and information are necessary. You cannot guide or advise the caller on the products or services that you're

Teaching your Baby English

Posted by Mr. Bob on September 23, 2010

Did you know that English Club has a page on Facebook? Did you know that they have other content there we can learn from? I just saw something amazing there and if you have young children you may want to go there and see it too.

It is designed to let you learn English along with your baby. I think it is a wonderful idea and you may follow this link to see for yourself. What better thing for your baby than to teach her English while you learn too. You can have a child advanced over his classmates

Writing Challenge #23: My PLN

PLN stands for Personal Learning Network. These days, English teachers use sites such as twitter and Facebook to create a PLN. We also visit each other's blogs. These sites act as an online staffroom that is open to the whole world. We interact with each other online and share ideas and links.English learners can form a PLN too. You don't want to learn English alone, do you? MyEC is a great space to create your PLN. You can chat, write on each other's walls, comment on blogs, and practise Englis

The problem #1 in Russia

Posted by Artem Prygin on September 20, 2010

Hello to all!Today I want to tell you something about russian "tradition", that actually made us famous and.. hm.. unpopular all over the world. Of course, I talk about drinking alcohol, especially Russian vodka. Someone thinks it's normal, someone finds it funny, someone doesn't pay any attention to it. But facts are sad.Russians drink about 18 litres of alcohol in an year per person. The number of 8 litres per person is fatally dangerous for the nation, so the Russian nation has more than a do

Adding Images to Your Blog and modifying text

Posted by Mr. Bob on September 19, 2010

To upload photos or videos to your blog or comment is easy, but may take a while to discover on your own. I prefer to sometimes write in my text before the image so it will naturally be above the image. When you are ready for the image click the little camera icon in the little utility bar just below ENTRY it is in the image below with blue square around it. The ADD AN IMAGE window will then pop up.It usually works better to click the [Choose File] just below Upload an image.

That option will bro

Teach what you know, learn what you don't.

Posted by Fe on September 15, 2010

That was a quotation I took down in my notebook yesterday morning while I was reading an old issue of an American magazine. "Teach what you know, learn what you don't." I thought, that quotation is appropriate to write here.As we live, we learn. We learned many things since our childhood. Those were all stored up in our brain. One way or the other, we impart to others what we had already learned - whether we are aware of it or not. And, maybe, some of those were good ones that touched and enrich

Good morning/afternoon/evening to all! :)I want to share with you my feelings and write a few words about my recent vacations on the beautiful island of Cyprus with my sweetheart.

Never too late to learn

Posted by Fe on September 10, 2010

Some people say "it's never too late to learn." I was amazed at the perseverance and determination of old people getting education even when old. One lady I viewed on our evening television news recently featured a 78 years old woman who graduated from elementary school.It was a most refreshing sight to see the old woman - in her white toga and holding a rolled white paper with pink ribbon waving above her head, and then, flipped her toga and the rest of the graduating students followed suit.She

A talented lady

Posted by Mr. Bob on September 4, 2010

A few years a go I noticed a talented actress because the part she played seemed so real and human. I saw her again in another movie where she was once again a character that I felt could be real. I am going to post a few photos of her here with some of the changes she has gone through so she can "be" the person she is playing.

This was the first character I saw her play and was set in the 1920's or 1930's.

This role was also very good and I felt a sympathy for her character as she was in love wit

When the chat room went down for a short time this week, some of you were very upset! It was interesting to see how important the chat room is to many of you. Thanks for your patience during the technical glitch. It was fun reading your thoughts about chat on Nadira's blog.I'd also like to thank all of the members who were chatting in the MyEC chat room with me last night. Your thoughts and feedback about the chat room were very helpful. Here are my observations about the MyEC chat room, along w
