ESL Blogs

This is about words, we may take them for granted. Words can be fascinating, encouraging, inspiring, motivating, powerful, living, so adventurous. They can build or they can break. How we choose to use them, depends entirely upon who and what we are.

I saw this on the net and I was fascinated by the construction. It is a mixture of something borrowed and my own words.

In this blog, I am really interested to know whether you (I mean women) travel alone or not! And, I am asking about your traveling inside the country as well as to a  foreign county. In my opinion, women usually travel or go anywhere with someone else, mostly with their family members and  at least one of them must be a male !

But, Of course, some women do travel alone. Sometimes they travel with other women or in a big group. They may be sisters or friends.

But,  I think, most often, women  trave

sometimes you feel a sudden feeling and thinking about someone or see them in your dreams or when you chat with other you surprised the person who talk to you speak your thought and what in your mind. 

Telepathy is one of the most powerful psychic abilities. It is known as mind to mind communication, which are feelings exchanged between a sender and a receiver. In order to properly transmit a message, you have to first believe wholeheartedly that it will work. After believing, and meditating for

What you are at this moment is out come of what you are thinking at this moment. 

Our mind is the one thing making you  happy or sad. It is irrespective of material things around you. 

For example, you entered inside a hall and sat in a chair and closed your eyes. You sat thier for a one hour. In between, a lot of people or animals came thier and gone and some still continue there. 

You were not aware of any of these. You were not sensed any thing from them, not even a single bit of sound.

As life goes on and we ascend the ladder of age, a lot of the time we think ourselves either too experienced or too long in the tooth to learn new things or new ways of doing old things.  But knowledge has no age or ending and while we are still walking on the well-trodden path of ours, the world has not seized to spin-changes in eternity.  So, why do we spate or alienate ourselves from something as natural as change and the process of learning?  Why do we deliberately sabotage ourselves and stu

When I was a child, I used to believe a funny thing. When my father drove me in his car at night, I noticed that however much we moved, the moon didn't go out of sight. I asked him why the moon didn't go out of sight. He answered that it is because the moon was following us. I believed it at that time. Do you have funny things you used to believe?

Music... what a vivid and clamorous intervention it was, just like the ballet to the brain. Let us send greatfull thoughts to the woman who invented it in ancient times long, long ago. She must have known music is able to do, what nothing else can.

Even the most stubborn and clamorous person stands no chance while listening to the tunes of a song, it can make any person melt.

We humans have always been and are still touched emotionally on different levels by music. Each person has different re

Hi all!!  I get a Word Of The Day sent to me in my email each morning.  It is a great way to enlarge one's vocabulary.  I tried to find a venue in EC to be able to share it with all but could not find one that was suitable.  So I thought to try it here.  It shouldn't take up much room from the blog site.  But if there would be a problem and someone will let me know.  I will certainly not encroach on the blog site in this manner.  

I thought in comments it would be nice to see the sentences you al

Yes, I'm so addicted to blogs here on MyEC - I bet you can tell, can't you?

For me, no day is complete without checking on the blogs! I enjoy being the blog moderator of MyEC - such an honour! As the blog mod, I'm supposed to keep an eye on the blogs. 

Most of the time, the Blogs are so enjoyable or inviting, though sometimes the Blogs are not so comfortable - lots of spams, ads for 'essays' or 'dissertations'. 

I enjoy reading blogs and comments. You may have noticed that some of the blogs were no

Einstein said that "The dark is only absence of light". It is not for 100% true, but now i want to tell you about another property of darkness.  The property to make people afraid.

     So, when the lights are disappearing, our world falls in the darkness. And also with darkness coming the silence. And as you already can guess that silence is nothing else like absence of noise. This couple of darkness and silence makes people afraid because even little sound transforms into clamorous noise!

A garden wouldn’t be complete without any visitors. Those flying insects and creepy crawlies, some are indeed scary while others are too cute to touch. Sometimes, it would accidentally end up dead on your palms because you’re quite excited to keep them. You might have asked, “What thingy is it?” Please continue reading and you could learn something interesting about it.

Butterflies are frequent visitors in a garden. Even though they are considered nuisance and pests by some crop growers (because

I saw her walking on the side of a Clamorous road.   I found myself staring at her.  May be because of the warmth of my sight, I felt a Vivid jerk in her slim flexible body, (she might be a belly dancer).  She gave me back, a nimble smile. The roses were striving to blossom.  Then she turned away and disappeared.  But, it was not a disappearance for me. She was all around me, as I was in a hall of mirrors and in all the mirrors it was

Our dear Onee-Chan asked me if we can play Jeopardy again. Sure, we can. The question is whether you would like to play it. So, I would like you to answer three easy questions:

1. Would you like to play Jeopardy without Danny?

2. If yes, when would you like me to start it, now or in September?

3. Would you like to play the Wheel of Fortune?

Thank you very much in advance.

 Oi there,

   Indeed, translations can be very "tricky"! First of all, the person doing the translation should have well mastered the original language of the text being translated. Translating demands a vast knowledge of our own mother tongue as well as an appreciable knowledge of the language we are to translate into, the customs of the people using that language and some history. All these give the translator a rich "library" of words, notions, quotes and so on.

I have been doing some translati

Eight Criteria for Individual Freedom

(Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer)

An advancing Life ascends from the realm of necessity toward that of freedom, while a regressive one retreats in the opposite direction. If we want to climb to a higher-level space of LIFE, we must strive to move toward the free kingdom. What are the criteria for complete freedom of the individual? In other words, what criteria do individuals need to achieve the realm of freedom?
