ESL Blogs

Along all my 124 EC Blog posts, I've published many of them with the title: picture of the day, quote/word/idiom of the day, joke of the day, tweet/fb post of the day, youtube video of the day, story of the day and even 'funny stuff' of the day. But now I come here with some more serious stuff: This is the MUST WATCH Documentary of... not 'the day', but the Century. Ladies and Gentlemen: Professor Chomsky.

"The advertising industry, which is dedicated to creating consumers it's a phenomena that

My Halloween nightmare

I was in a sound sleep when someone suddenly opened my bedroom's door. It was very dark, almost midnight. I opened my eyes. At first, I couldn't see anything. My eyes weren't accustomed to the darkness. The only things I could see: two red points on my white bedsheet.

It was creepy because I did not know what would happen. Suddenly, the moon came out from behind the clouds. Before my bed stood a figure dressed in a dark linen fabric; a deep manly voice commanded me to com

My dear friends! As I told you I have saved the best expression for my Halloween story because it is a true horror! Ready? LOL!

Here is the sentence I read:

“I have a shoe in one leg and another leg is bare.”

Doesn’t it make you feel creepy all over? First of all, this creature has more than two legs and I can easily imagine some giant centipede, such a monster crawling along the street limping because of wearing only one shoe (nobody knows where) and very strange tights that leave one of her legs

In trees, the wind is singing quietly.
The night shows us the breath of cold.
The leaves, so colorful fall softly.
The hills look great like red and gold.

Like curtains lies the fog on meadows.
The songs of birds will fade away.
So countless are the kinds of shadows.
The days show many shades of gray.

And Flocks of birds begin their flying,
to find a place so warm and bright.
Their melodies are farewells crying,
you can it hear all day and night.

The droplets on the nets of spiders
let shine them like the s

My friends! My story is based on "Viy" story by the famous Ukrainian/Russian writer Nikolay Gogol. On the other hand, it is also based on my memories about your mistakes and Danny's blogs. So, there we go!

In the middle of the night I woke up lying on the path in the dark forest.  Suddenly I heard soft steps nearing stealthily. I raised my head and saw two green spots glowing in the dark. I looked closely and saw a familiar silhouette! “Shoo! Shoo!” I cried and she disappeared with her tail betwe

here's a little story I made, hope u like it 

It was a normal beautiful day and Roman the Clumsy Squirrel was getting ready to do his squirrel things (collecting nuts, reading EC blogs, etc). Nobody ever expects that anything bad could happen in a sunny autumn morning because all the horror things happen at night, during a storm, or on election days. So, there was Roman the Clumsy Squirrel feeling confident and safe: -"It is a very bright and nice day! Nothing bad can happen to me!*humming while walkin'*"

What the poor Roman couldn't have im

Well, my friends! I promised you the happy end and here you are! However, before reading the story, you are expected to read my usual introduction presenting and explaining your mistakes. Hope you will find a few minutes to look through them.

1. “She always gives me wise decisions.” As a matter of fact, people are used to saying words of advice rarely followed. We usually listen to advice, analyze it and make up our mind.

Job interviews are like first dates: Good impressions count; Awkwardness can occur; Outcomes are unpredictable. Your palms tend to get sweaty and you clam up. Or you get self-conscious and start talking non-stop to fill every pause in the conversation. Both, not good scenarios. If you get that first impression wrong, that would most likely be the end of the line for you! No second date and definitely no amazing job. But worry no more. We have the perfect

Thunderstorm

Slowly starts the thunderstorm,
I can hear its rumbling
and the lightning will be born
and the wind hunts something.

People running fast to home,
closing doors and windows.
No one likes to be alone
when the storm its face shows.

Do you see the dance of trees?
How they bow the tops?
Do you hear the song of Rain,
the drumming of the drops?

Birds are drinking from the puddle,
one has lost a feather.
Outside seems it like a muddle
but soon will sooth the weather.

Wind has swept the streets so clean,

21^st century’s Social Media and Social Media Friends 

 Since the beginning of 21^st century the invention of mobiles and progress of communications tools (like internet) completely revolutionize our social life and even today we are unaware of its future. Because of this rapid change we feel difficult to change our life accordingly. These inventions affect on our life is not countable but here I just want discusses some of its social aspect only.

It was a new day. In this morning, the green valley was bathed sunrise, just like on other days. Birds were singing and starting their daily rituals. The dew was shining like the crystals with the sunrise,  which had fallen on the flower petals. That wonderful morning, a stranger was coming, through the narrow path down the valley. He was a young boy, tall, handsome and smart. If the morning was so much beauty, his face appeared with a very pleasant smile. His name was Dilan.

There was a beautifu

I decided to teach English in Shenzhen last May, but long before I signed my contract, I knew exactly what I would be doing during Spring Festival. As classes came to an end for the semester, I watched my friends plan trips to beautiful beaches, but I wasn’t jealous of their vacation plans for a second… I was busy reminding my fiancé to bring my parka as we would be heading north: to Harbin.

The flight from Beijing to Harbin was only about two hours. I sat giddily on the plane and read about the

A clean summer day. The trees and leaves are twinkling in front of the eyes. Scared birds scatter in different directions. The young witch flies on a flying broom. Ammm... young clumsy* witch.

Suddenly her broom catch the branch of the tree... And clumsy witch is falling down right on the anthill. While falling from the tree, she demolish one branch with green leaves that stuck in her hair near the ear.

Before Sabrina understand what happened, she felt ant bites and despite of pain in her back you

I have changed the title a little. I united two of the titles.

Once upon a time, there lived a little girl.
She lived together with her her mom and her granny in a little house nearby a beautiful lake, outside the city.

The house, surrounded by a garden, was just a small house but very comfortable and cozy. In the garden grew thousands of different flowers and there lived butterflies and birds lived there, too.

The girl loved the birds, butterflies, and f

I hope you like my funny stories based on your mistakes. This time it will be another story. Let’s say it is a modern version of Cinderella as it is all about shoes!

So, here are the expressions that inspired my imagination.

1. “I bought a new shoe.” Sure, we all know we can’t buy only one shoe.  If people are disable and have only one foot/leg, they have to buy a pair of shoes or shoes anyway.
2. “I was in a hurry so I just could wear my left shoe.” Hahaha!  We wear footwear all day long. Some people ma

 When you’re struggling to make your writing stand out, it can help to vary your syntax. This might sound complicated, but we’re basically talking about varying the actual structure of your sentences to add some variety to your work.

But we’re not going to bore you by rambling on and on about what syntax is and why it’s important. With such a complex subject, it’s usually easiest to show instead of to tell, which is why instead of explaining the technicalities between each type of syntax, we’re s

As we all know, with the connected development of abridgement and the connected beforehand of society, the antagonism in the accouterment industry in China is acceptable added fierce. However, as a accepted mining equipment, the ultrafine mill is broadly acclimated in abounding industries, such as mining, metallurgy, etc. Although the appliance ambit of the ultrafine mill may not be added than that of the crushing machine, the ultrafine mill is all-important for the mining accouterment industry.

... and then one day they start slowly falling down,

sad tree losing its pride, losing its crown.

The sun is weaker, the wind is stronger,

all of these leaves can´t stay any longer...

... and then some day golden rain showers the street,

covered path, bench, even my favorite seat.

People dancing on the yellow carpet of leaves,

recalling nostalgic autumn memories...

... and then one day autumn magic will be gone,

lost between earlier sunset and later dawn.

Winter will hungrily eat every
