ESL Blogs

This month I challenged our bloggers to write about their fathers in honour of Father's Day (June 15, 2014). I was pleasantly surprised that so many members decided to participate. Our members have shown me that dads are doing an amazing job around the world. This writing collection is dedicated to the dads of all MyEC members as well as the MyEC members who are dads themselves. Happy Father's Day! 

Please follow the links to read these incredible tributes, poems, and stories. Don't forget to lea

My wife, a veteran professor, a college principal, delivered this speech when she completed her Observations period in a Montessori School. I would like to share it with you people with her permission:

"I am thrilled to be here at this auspicious occasion, the one of which every student, irrespective of age waits. LEARNING HAS NO AGE LIMIT. IT GOES FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE. I would like to share with you all the moments I have passed here in this esteemed institution, where I once again learned how t

You are funny, aren't you?

This is a Tag Question. The whole sentence is called "tag question" whereas the end or tail part is known as "question tag". Tag questions are very common in now a days English. You must hear them in movies and TV shows. But sometimes they sound funny or strange to ESL Learners. For instance in case of "I" we use "aren't" e.g. I'm the funniest, aren't I? 
Some other tag questions could be like.

Girls fall in love by what they hear, guys fall in love by what they see.
That’s why some girls put on make up and some guys lie.

I think this is the greatest and truest description
 I've ever heard for a Friend.....


 Friends........They love you.

 But they're not your lover

 They care for you,

 But they're not from your family

 They're ready to share your pain,

 But they're not your blood relation.

 They are........FRIENDS! !!!!

 A True friend...... .

 Scolds like a DAD..

 Cares like a MOM..

 Teases like a SISTER..

 Irritates like a BROTHER..

 And finally loves you more than a LOVER.

 My time is eternity.

 What surprises you most about human kind

 

 God answered



 That they get bored with child hood

 
 They rush to grow up and then ,

 That they lose their health to make money

How To Learn Like A Child

Hello friends,

this is my latest poem so I would be glad if you read it and if you imagine yourself somehwere on the beach, near my fictive house :-)

House on the beach

Old wooden house on the beach is a witness of my various stories,

to spend the time there is like a magic, it wash away my all bad memories.

As if the sea was able to flood my soul with happiness and peace,

as if the sea was able to give me special moments I will one day miss.

When I wake up, I open the creaky door to go out, to smell s

We saw them, the wild dogs, just before sunset. The pack chasing each other around with excited whelps, ready for the hunt; a population that had been close to extinction but which was now back in action. A cool breeze drifted up from the Zambezi and we relaxed with beers and impala steaks, close to nature, part of it, helping to conserve it, protect it, with guns. Contradictions.

I was here teaching geological skills at an educational camp on the northern border of Zimbabwe, by the banks of the

Well behavior and debonair human is really beautiful.

Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that's what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity.

One of the questions that might be asked in a typical teachers employment interview, is expressed as following:

Suppose that you are a teacher and you enter your classroom which you wanna teach, then when you want to start, all the students mock and sneer you in this way that when you turn your head they turn their heads simultaneously or when you rise your hand, they do the similar action all together. In this time you advise them but they rudely ignore you and continue their behavior.

Kinds of Lies

Some people see lies as a part of their everyday life. While others see them as the worst sin. No matter your view point is. Lying is something that everyone does at sometimes.

If you think you never tell a lie. Take a look at these items. Perhaps one of these lies to be familiar to you.

White lies (lie about things that aren’t important). Mother, your meatloaf is very delicious (while you hate the meatloaf).

Beneficial lies (small lies mostly considered to help. People benefit from

He now feels left in the desert, standing there in the heat with choked throat.  He wanted to cry…………cry loudly and tell her that he truly loves her, but the slap he felt on his face would have not been so hard, but the hatred in her eyes burned him alive.

It happened that two of his female colleagues got closed to him. First he felt that they both just liked him as a friend, but with the passage of time he realized that it’s not just friendship, it is beyond that.  He was so happy that he has tw

My Father: The Ever-caring <3

At first I wanted to write about why I love my father, and then I decided I really can't write enough and I felt like no matter how good I am with words -which I am not- i cant convey how I feel fairly so I decided to share a tiny bit with you.

Even before my dear mother pass passed away I was my daddy's girl. He spoiled me as a kid and was always lenient in scolding me.

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.

In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times not realizing he was using a wrench.

When the child saw his father with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions, sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child
