THE SECOND TASK:

Write a story about the picture which you can see bellow. What do you think that has happened there? 

Once little jimmy saw a big Hot air balloon in the central park, where his father took him for a walk. He saw people getting into it lighting the fire, hitting the air… He saw the big and colorful balloons high in the air, carrying happy people, who were laughing joyfully and enjoying the view. It seemed to jimmy something totally amazing… He cried for hours begging his father for one air tour on a balloon, but his father wouldn’t do it… Poor man was terrified of height!! Jimmy was hopeless and it was the moment when an amazing idea came into his head! He could make their house fly just like these balloons… all he had to do was TO HIT THE AIR!!! 5 year-old Jimmy started planning and preparing for the day when he would be able to bring his ideas into life. He knew that to hit the air he needs fire! Well he could steal a box of matches and he would sacrifice some old clothes and toys for the idea! HE wanted his house to fly like a balloon!!!!

One cloudy morning when his parents were off for work and jimmy was alone in his bedroom on the second floor. He took the box of matches hidden under his pillow, gathered all his clothes and toys and burnt it all! Fire started immediately and was spread all over the second floor in a minute…

Jimmy was sure when he counts to 5 the house will start flying! He closed his eyes and said “please dear God make it work, make it work, let the house fly” And it worked… The house was in the air with the burning second floor, driven away by wind and Jimmy now didn’t know what to feel, he was happy and scared, fire was huge and as he started feeling sick from the smoke he suddenlly realized; all he could hope and pray now was a HEAVY RAIN.

THE THIRD TASK:

1. Describe  your imagination about one perfect day.

A perfect day for me is:

To wake up and find myself in a house on a beach.  The house is empty, there is no one inside there only me… I get up and see one big bar where I can find my favorite red sweet wine. I get a glass of wine and go out to the seashore. The weather is perfect. A mild breeze is winding my hair while I walk along the beach wondering the beauty and peace. In some minutes HE joins me with a bowl of fruits that he knows I love so much and we enjoy our morning together, sitting on the sands and talking some pleasant nothings.

I would spend my day like this from dawn till the twilight and it would be perfect for me.

2. Could you please share with us in some funny, hilarious way your most emberrassing moment of your life?

There were so many silly moments in my life and most of the time I do my best to never remember them! But if u ask I will tell you one from schooldays. So I had this kind of a crazy classmate who was running after me in every break time, trying to catch me and somehow he was very rude. We were in 5^th standard at school and I never thought of complaining to my teacher so no one really knew that this guy was annoying me so much. So one of these terrible runaway games he managed to catch me and occasionally he hurt my arm! I was very much pissed and when I entered the classroom I shouted as loud as I could “YOU IDIOT!!! DON”T YOU EVER TALK TO ME NEITHER TOUCH ME!!!” and also called him several bad names I can’t write here :D but how shocked I was when I saw my teacher was sitting at the desk in the end of the classroom and on entering I didn’t notice her. I will never forget the way she looked up at me, under her big glasses she was almost saying “are you insane, what the hell is wrong with you”

3. Why do you spend your time in English Club?

I am here when I have free time to chat. Also I like posting Blogs and I feel like EC became some kinda habit for me. Don’t really know good or bad habit though. :p

THE SECOND TASK:

Write a story about the picture which you can see bellow. What do you think that has happened there? 

Last Sunday, I came out of my home to go for a walk. After a few steps, I was astonished to saw the house up on the road caught fire. I was terrified with shock , as I stood there watching the house ablaze and upper portion of the house burring so ghastly.

Then suddenly from anywhere I saw Superman came there on the wing he took out people from the house one by one and leave them down, after leaving the home vacant, and he flew away with two floors of the building preventing other houses to catch fire. Then I rubbed my eyes I saw there was no Superman but the house was flying with a little ladder. So shockingly and terrified it was. I found all the people of that house hence secured. I felt so horrified; it was dreadful to my eyes. I saw my real superman who came to rescue the people from the big danger. It was like an implausible truth to my eyes.

Then I woke up hearing my mom shouting voice Garima you getting late for office wake up please.

O my god it was nothing but a horrifying dream of mine.

THE THIRD TASK:

1. Describe  your imagination about one perfect day.

It was my yearning desire in my college days if I would get a chance to participate in Miss Delhi Pageant. How will I enjoy that will be my perfect day. A part of gala where all Delhi beauties present and opposing me for the final. Me standing with my individuality in all. Wearing a beautiful dress with so much sparkling confidence with a winning attitude. When I will ask to walk on the ramp and my ears dying to hear myself as title of fresh face or beautiful smile of the year.

2. Could you please share with us in some funny, hilarious way your most emberrassing moment of your life?

3. Why do you spend your time in English Club?

EC has not only given me a beautiful platform to improve and explore my passion for English, but also a gateway to a bunch of cheerful people who are so friendly, energetic, & native speakers. I can read blogs and I can write as number of blogsI wish to write. When I spend my time on EC I feel myself more confident, more expressive in English in the real world.

2. Could you please share with us in some funny, hilarious way your most emberrassing moment of your life?

During the primary school everyday we, students, had to vow the student oath before starting the  classes. Sometimes teachers  manage the oath sometimes students. When I was in 4th grade, the supervisor of the school picked me to manage the oath. I went up  stairs and I took the microphone in my hand then I started  vowing the oath. There were nearly 700 students and suddenly I forgot the oath. You can't even guess what I felt at that time.I was red as a tomato.I was thinking "what the heck am I doing here".Of course I could not get the answer. Anyway I looked at the supervisor's face and he got it already. He took the microphone from my hand. I said" Sorry, teacher! I am sick today(I was lying)." and he said " OK go to your place" but he was like "what a student!", no doubt. While I was coming down the stairs all students were looking at me and some of them were laughing out loud. I was so popular as a retard for one week. After that day I never managed the oath.

3. Why do you spend your time in English Club?

Recently I spend lots of my time in EC but really difficult to say why I spend so much time here. EC is getting weird day by day. It may be one of the reasons. You know everyday new members join EC and old members join with new id. Talking with new members and catching with old ones is fun. I say new members "Hello I am the Sheriff of EC Town, is there a something wrong in Ec Streets?". At the end they get the truth of course. The thuth is I am just a simple member of EC X). Because some of them think I am moderator or admin or vip member. In addition I created a group which i named EC Hangouts. I guess it is also one of the reasons. Maybe talking with moderators about some bugs(problems that needs fixing) takes my time too. The most important thing I like is sending messages to J the boss. I have sent him 3 messages in EC and I got banned twice. I guess he is used to get messages from me X) Anyway I am a good member for a while and I like EC.

THE FIRST TASK:

Record yourself, no topic, just say what you want to say to the voters :

Dimi_Dimi´s voice record

The script:

Hi EC member, I would like to present my speech, my short speech about my own idea “We are equal”.  Since we were born by our parents, God had decided our destiny, and everyone has different destinies. Yet, do you know that we were born as the champion and also we were born in an equal condition. Nobody is perfect, even when you were born as a handicap child, please think positively, that God has panned you a great future for your life, do not be a pessimistic person, your weakness is not your obstacle to do your bright dream. Your weakness is just a status quo, and your passion is the most important thing that you are needed. In vice versa, for you all, included me, that were born in a perfect condition, we must respect all people, do not think that we are the best people in this world. Remember! We are equal, we need each other, up the skype still has sky, and we can learn from padi’s philosophy that “ when padi has already to be harvested it will bow lower, and we can learn from it that if we have strengthens we must have low profile like padi.  there is a thing that can separated us, it is OUR VIRTUE which will be presented for GOD when we meet him. Thank you

THE SECOND TASK:

A Hell House : A fiction story.

Once upon a time, there was a small family; they were Mr Alec, Mrs. Gwen and their daughter, Fulan. They were a rich family, although Fulan lived in great condition because she could get anything easily, she did not feel that she lived in happy condition. Her parents were so busy with their works, Mrs Gwen as an accountant and Mr Alec was a businessman, they were rare gathering together. Fulan was 7 years old and she would have her birthday 2 days later. Fulan asked to her nann, “Oh my beloved nann, to be honest, I am very sad today.” Her nann hugged her and asked, “Oh dear, why you feel sad?”. Fulan hugged tightly and said “Tomorrow, I have my birthday, will my parents remember it?”. Her nann tried to make her calm down, she smiled to Fulan, “ I believe they will remember that?, okay dear, lest sleep! Your parents will go back late.”
Because Fulan pretended her nann as her mother, she followed the nann’s instruction. They walked toward Fulan’s bed room, “Okay my sweet girl, close your eyes, I am here,” The nann smiled. Fulan tried to hide her sadness, she asked something, “Nann, could I beg a favor?” the nann asked “What is that my dear?”, “Could you tell me a short story before I sleep?, my mom never did it to me.”
Then the nann nodded and she told a story to Fulan, then the time run so fast, the sun shone brightly. As usual, before they did activities, they had breakfast together. Without saying anything, Fulan hoped that her parents remembered her birthday. But None, Fullan was sad, she just asked to her heart “MY HOUSE IS MY HELL” NOBODY CARE ME!”.
