ESL Blogs

1. Every learner here on EC desires to learn and improve English.  I receive continuously requests from the learner to tell them how to improve English.  I always advise them ‘to read more and more, as much as they could’.  It is a bit difficult to develop the zeal, but it is the must.  By reading, the treasure of words (vocabulary) increases.
2. Then I advise them to use the new words they come to know in sentences.  Use them again and again so that they memorize.
3. With this stock of vocabulary (no matt

Aloha little EC birds!

As some of you already know, I was labeled as 'Spambuster' some days ago. After complaining about it (that's so ME, right?) that label was removed and replaced for another pretty much cooler: 'REBEL'! 

I admit it was cool and funny to feel like the 'Officially MyEC Rebel' for some days, but I had the feeling it couldn't last... Just how it happend.

But anyway, I don't wanna bore you with my sob story; I've no time for boo-hoos! As creative person, every experience I have (no

Yes, what I'm trying to say is, it will be more enjoyable if MyEC is full of short blogs, on which a lot of comments are added. 

Why short blogs? It seems nowadays people tend to read what is short - they no longer enjoy lengthy articles or blogs. It takes time to read something long, but they can't find the time to read among the hustle and bustle. 

Then, why a lot of comments? It's no fun writing blogs with no or only a few comments added - the blogger will be so disheartened or disappointed or

One Who Takes No Liberty Will Not Understand Morality

First of all，the morality of which I speak here are Tao and Virtue. Tao is the consciousness of the Greatest Creator and the synthesis of all laws and rules of the universe. Virtue is the level of which LIFE is consistent with Tao, and as with love, it is only a state of Life.

Liberty is a state of mind with neither selfishness nor ego, and without worry, fear, responsibility, o

This is my 1st blog or may be the last blog in EC
i don't know what happened with my feelings and how to express these feelings. why i felt like an empty sheet.

I was very shocked why my 1st and best friend anxa left me without any notice at all. I knew you from day 1, when i haven't known anyone here. We shared about anything in EC. She knows all about my country, i felt like she is my old friend. i am still curious Why and Why she left myEC without any message or farewell blog. i don't feel exc

Yes, I'm trying to say that a blog may occur if you really know what you want to share or express. 

A blog is just about what you really want to tell us or talk about.

You may want to share an interesting story or experience; you may want to express an idea or feeling; you may want to tell us you are trying to understand what just happened, or you may want to talk about something so popular yet controversial.

Three things should be kept in mind when you try to write:

First, the title of your blog sh

LEARN TO LISTEN - LISTEN TO LEARN

"No man would listen to you talk if he didn't know it was his turn next." (Quote by Ed howe, an American novelist) 

This is natural a human being (may be animal also) born with a desire “to be listened”, but to "be listened", it is also obligatory that one should have the bearing to listen to others.

Just take your own example. You are with a group of friends and some conversation is going on. Just imagine what would be your feelings, when you find one of your frie

Before you read this blog, please agree to read it at night. If you are reading it at night then ok.

      Have you ever noticed that at night you think about things with another point of view? I am not sure about another people, but i think of the same things differently at day and at night... For example: during the day i can think about life, death, time and about endless universe and nevermind about all this things (really who cares about such things...).

     But...  When night is coming, som

Liberty is supreme and priceless, is the feature of life in heaven and shows the level of a LIFE. The more liberty, the more heavenly; the less the liberty, the more hellish.

Liberty, love! For my love I will sacrifice life,

There two I need, For liberty I will sacrifice my love.

I wrote this poem a few years ago.  It is a sad one and it is about love.  I hope you enjoy it.

I Sent It On Sent It On The Wind

Just before I wake up
In that place that we all know
I find that I am with you...
Before the sunlight shares her glow
With your arms around me
Your chin upon my hair
I was thinking how contented
I seemed while I am there

Many years ago, when i was young, me and my big brother, we spent every summer in the village with our granny.

     This is a beautifull place, where i can do everything i want (really everything). In that time we hated this village... because sometimes there was no another kids to play with and we were angry about it...

     During that time we were helping our granny with household. That household inclooded many works like: to feed the goats in forest, to make supplies for goats for the winter,

I have to say I was so impressed by Luci's Challenge!!!  What a good idea.  I read some of the best stories by member's answering this challenge.  Some of us are trying our best to think of good, and interesting challenges for the near future.  No one wants to see this part of EC go down due to lack of interest.  Reading and writing are two of the most important tools we have when it comes to learning English.  Each blog is such an important part of this site.  We all have things to say.  We all

Yes, a smartphone is a mobile phone that can be used as a small computer.

A smartphone that connects to the Internet can be so versatile that you don't really need a desktop or laptop. It seems eveybody here in China has such a smartphone - they read, watch or write on their phone whenever they have leisure or spare time, whether on the underground or metro, or in the line or queue, or even walking. 

That is to say, they have spent so much time learning or playing on their phone. They no longer us

Long time everyone!!! finally I have my holiday and join this site again. Will start up this season(?) by writing for Luci's challenge. It feels a bit quiet here, hope to contribute more and others can participate as well. sorry for the long text, LUci wanted downs and ups, lol xD Enjoy ;)

My dear Peppo,

I would like to tell you something nobody has an idea about. You may already hear it as a rumor in our neighborhood. So, it is not our family secret but I want to share it personally with you. You

well, It would be easier  if I knew who you are going to talk to and why they have to  listen to you! But, of course, there are some general rules to make people listen to you...lol. And, here I am going to tell you  exactly what I do at my work place.

1. Be respectful specially if they are elder/aged people. Even it is also applicable/appreciable if/when we work with our juniors! Never try to make them down!

2. Be patience more than  you are. A smiling face always works! Though all time we can no

Good day, my friend!

Why I couldn't find your profile page? Maybe you've decided to leave MyEC temporarily or for good? Whatever your reason is, I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks for all your positive comments and encouragement on my photos and video shares as well as for liking them. I haven't known you for quite some time but you've showered good vibes on our club. 

I do hope that your reason for deleting your account wasn't about unpleasant experiences here. I wish you'd have a 'change you
