My nephew is a handful. Whenever he leaves me, it looks like a hurricane hit my apartment. Anyway, he is a real ball of fire and a very curious kid. He asks a lot of questions and always demands immediate answers. Yesterday, he wasn't that Curious George though. When I asked his mother what's wrong she told me: "He wants a puppy." Then she looked directly at him and said: "Not gonna happen buddy. And that's final!"

Me: 'Why?'

Her: ' 'cause he's four. That's a huge responsibility. What is wrong wit

Accents (in English)

By Dayne Collins

Writing this article is a calculated risk, I may become unpopular in the EC universe, lose a few readers, and receive some disapproving comments. I am aware that a lot of learners who read my content are borderline obsessed with mastering a particular accent. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to discourage anyone from achieving their desired accent, I just want to share my opinion on accent acquisition in ESL English education.

Perhaps your native language is a

My dear friends! I'd like to wish each of you and all of you  to experience happiness of love and despair of being left alone, joy of being together and grief of losing what and whom you love, I wish you to burst in laughter and tears, to feel inspiration and disappointment, to learn from the mistakes of others and to make your own. I wish you to enjoy your lives, to stumble and to fall down but always to be able to rise. Otherwords, I wish you all to feel the storm of all emotions a human being

A misty morning
My autumnal heart sings
The sound of silence ~

This music inspired me to write a haiku poetry, just simple words :-)

Excellent performance ever!, Piano by Harry Volker.

Art is something which we create or do. Everything in this life like drawing, painting, machines, etc are the work of art. Most of the people think artist are somebody professional in sketching, painting and all, but through my opinion EVERYBODY IS AN ARTIST ! but the people just lack patience as ARTIST NEEDS PATIENTS!. so do what you want as you are an artist! (*_^).

Love, love, love! I can feel you everywhere I go - in the movies, in the songs, in the novels, in the paintings, in the poems... You inspire us, you make us creative, you somehow unintentionally force us to share, what we feel because at times, we just want to scream to the whole world, we found you and we are the happiest person on the Earth.

Both genders percieve you differently. The women tend to be more sensitive and talkative, they prefer sharing meanwhile some tough men might consider talki

Today's the day, and love is in the air!(Is it now?) Thousands of bouquets (roses of course, Duh!) will be bought and florists are going to do their best not to snap at picky costumers. A great deal of chocolate will be consumed today and a lot of gym instructors will be soooo busy tomorrow. (The abundance of cliché in this paragraph is literally killing me!).

Or better yet, maybe you are sick and tired of clichés. Maybe you prefer to stay at home, wear your lazy pants, pop up a HUGE bowl of popc

Sometimes we get used to something that we just take it for granted like health, family, friends etc.

Then we will start saying that I shouldn’t have done that, I should have behaved more wisely or I should have been more careful. In all of these sentences actually we wish that we had another opportunity to behave differently.

For instance health; have you ever been so sick that you cannot even stand up? After few days staying in bed you wish to be strong and healthy again. At that very moment you

Since I was a little kid, (now I'm 22) I've been a big fan of metal and rock music scene, when I heard that Iron Maiden was touring worldwide , I wished that they would come to my country and then... They have set a date for one of their gigs in my country, I was spechless, astonished and amazed, I could use tons of words in order to describe how I felt, maybe some people won't understand but imagine this: everyone has a hero, someone that we admire and we would love to see and meet and when the

Hey EC,

It's been a while, hasn't it? Many of you are probably thinking, "who the flip is this guy?" That's fair enough too. Sadly, the last time I logged in here was probably in 2014 and a lot has happened since then. I've been working really hard, keeping very busy, and taking on more and more projects. I've even moved to a new home. One that's very close to my office, and I love it here.

Speaking of home, logging in yesterday for the first time in a long time felt like a bittersweet homecoming.

Why I love English? I love English because it helps me talk to Americans and it's the world original language, you can translate English to many languages. many people knows how to speak English because it is commonly used worldwide. English have different types like noun, pronoun, common noun, proper noun and etc. all of these can be learn from school. English has also accents, depends on your country you lived. Accent is the tone of your voice. British accent is different compared to English A

SOCIAL SKILLS

There has never been a time when people could communicate and express themselves as instantly and as much as they can now. It's hard to believe, but there was a time when communicating meant we had to WRITE LETTERS!

I've always liked writing. I like the feeling of having a nice pen in my hand. It feels like I'm creating something when I put pen to paper, even if it is just a doodle of a flower or a note that says, "If you ever park in my spot again, I will have your ass towed." It

One American study reported that Americans are inclined to dislike smokers more than obese people. This study said that 17% of people disliked smokers in 1991 and they increased to 25% of people in 2011. It seems that Americans take tougher stance on smokers than before.
On the other hand, there were 12% of people who disliked obese people in 2011 and this is less than 16% of people in 2003.
What do you think about smokers and obese people?

I want to start telling that I'm English student so I apologize if I have mistakes.

In fact, I'm been doing this to improve my English with your comments. :) Thanks.

I've been thinking about in myself and each of all things that make me happy. 

Money? Work? Sex? Stuff? Love? Music? Food? Friends? Family? Travels?

What do you think? What kind of things make you feel happy?

They said: "Everybody has some problems..."

He said: "I know that... I know that..."

They said: "You should not protest..."

He said: "I can not protest..."

They said: "You should be so thankful... you should be grateful... that you are not the worst on the earth..."

He said: "No... that's not right... I MUST be so thankful... I MUST be so grateful... 'cause I'm not the worst on the earth...

I must choose one thing between two...

Which I like them both most on the earth...

It's the most impossible thing.

These artworks are made out of paper by Yulia Brodskaya. She is a Russian artist and famous for her handmade paper illustrations. She lives in the UK now. To me, her works are extraordinary, joyful and full of life. 

Whenever I feel creative, I draw mustache on my brother's face while he's asleep.
