WALKER'S WRITING CHALLENGE: MYSELF

Before I get started, let me begin by saying how good it is to once again have the time to chat and post with my good friends here. EC has always been a great source of personal inspiration. The chance to watch and experience new learners grow into linguistic proficiency is amazing and something I wish more of my fellow countrymen would take the time to do.

Here's ten things in no particular order that come to mind when thinking of MYSELF. The subject matter may vary from personal philosophy to m

A WISH

A WISH

I have no faith in miracles

but this wish I do nurture

that when death carries me away from the world,

it should grant me this permission, just once

that I may return from the grave

and, knocking at your door, cry out

if you need a consoler

I am here.

And if you do not need one,

I may return again to the other world.

Moving House

Moving or "Moving House" is something that many people do in their lifetime. I know many people are born and die in the same house, but in the modern world we may have to move for our jobs or to be near family members who moved.

I have moved many times, but it never gets easier and it never is any fun. If you have had to pack up and move to a new place you may understand why I don't enjoy moving. These are some of the steps that I don't enjoy.

1. Packing - carefully putting your things in boxes an

Positive and negative sides

I am damn sure someone will want to strangle me after reading it, some may do agree! Well, I am going to say something about last month's writing challenge.

To begin with, I must  say  the positive sides of it.

1. This  writing challenge motivated us to write more.

2. We tried to think more, did brain storming, found various topics to write blogs.

3. After getting this challenge, we got many new bloggers who did not write before or was not more active in blogging.

4. It is unnecessary to say again th

Why Blogging in a Community is Better than Blogging Alone

  For me blogging alone is barren. You have no comments, corrections, suggestions, ideas, discussing. After all, your writing production is  static. Community is like a paradise in a dry desert for who likes to make the most of all advantages of blogging.

  Community blogging makes you enlarge your idea's range or just choose what to write  by inspiring in other member's blogs. When you're in an active group, you start noticing what readers

I love walking in cool weather rather a bit cold, when cold breeze touches my face.

I love swimming and playing badminton. I can never imagine life without music. What a dull life it would be! I enjoy listening to music. I love looking at people’s faces in crowded places. I love observing young and newly married couples and to see how much love they are sharing through looking at each other. I love seeing others happiness. I love watching babies of few months old.

I love watching movies drama, com

Rainy Days

When I went through my photos album, I smiled a lot and I turned through the pages many times. They captured special memories like, joining school, childhood and special celebrations. However, the one that made me laugh and stopped me was when I was a child and wore my wellington boots in rainy days. I remembered that I went late to school because I played in all the puddles on my way to school. I also remember my grandma always shouted at my mother because she allowed me to play outside in rain

Important of Sleep

Everybody needs different amounts of sleep.  Some need more, some need less.  But the average is around 8 hours
If you don't get your 8 hours one day, you may feel a bit tired, but you'll be OK.  But it is true that if you consistently don't get enough sleep every night -- even one hour less every night, you can accumulate "sleep debt" over a two-week period (your body resets after two weeks) where you will feel extremely tired, sluggish, unfocused, etc

Quantity or quality?

Yes, the amazing, strenuous June Blogathon is over. It's time we waved goodbye to it. That doesn't mean you'll never talk about it, though. In fact, we need to reflect on or ponder over it. 

Some members don't think it's a good idea to write so many blogs in such a short period of time. They felt overwhelmed, and didn't have time to enjoy or relish all the blogs, which sounds just like they bit off more than they can chew. They think quality is paramount, not quantity. 

Some, however, have really

MyEC Bloggers United

2347093651?profile=originalWe did it! Our June goal was to beat the MyEC record for most blogs posted in a single month. With all of your help, we achieved this (and so much more). The last time I checked, we had published 625 blog posts, which is double our current monthly average. That just shows you how important it is to set goals, doesn't it? 

I'm so proud of everyone who participated in the June Blogathon. Some of you set individual blogging goals, too. This really impressed me. I think we must always set goals for o

Mishaikh some parts of this text are not clear to me and I think it can be written in better way but I don’t know how.   I just hope you give me some ideas.

THANKS AND TAKE CARE

(This was the request sent to me two years ago by one of my friends in Iran. Following is the re-written (by me) text which I modified for her.  It is here for the interest of English learners.  I am sure she won’t mind because at that time she was also a learner, now she has done her graduation.)
