Hi to all EC members...

Usually around this time is when everyone starts making plans and promises for a change in the New Year. We all experience something new every day and as a result of those experiences we’re changing willingly or unwillingly. With this basic thought, I focus on the very last hours of 365 days for the change. How do I do that? Well… I have a superstition. I believe that how you enter the New Year, your all year mostly continues doing that. For instance, if you enter the New

I have just changed my profile photo (avatar) - this is the first time I've ever changed it!

I bet you are already familiar with my old avatar, and some of the members here (like anele) may not really want me to change it. I don't think it's a good idea to change one's profile photo frequently, but it's quite acceptable to change it from time to time. Actually, some of the members have suggested I change it. I never changed the photo because I think it may make it hard for other members to easily

"This morning of the last day of the year, I suddenly feel like writing a blog. But actually, I thought writing days before today, I just couldn't know what to write about. It keeps nagging in my head that I have already forgotten my first love in EC - writing a blog. Then, suddenly after reading Robbie's blog (thanks to you,Rob!), it inspires me to jot down a list of my most favorite practices in 2011."

Hello my dear EC family,

Today is the last day of the year 2011, time to say good bye 2011 and happy new year 2012. And today I am so glad to say that I became one year old on EC. heheheh..It was the same day a year ago when I joined EC with having the purpose of improving my English skills. After looking on internet for English learning site once I came across EC, in the beginning two - three months I was not very familiar with EC and I was a big addicted fan of Farmville on Facebook and after

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a

I used to wait for you, Mr. Postman...  Wait for your coming to my house. I felt so happy when you delivered a letter or postcard to me. But now, I never find you anymore..., where are you? you disappear in the globalization era, replaced by the modern technology.. Oh. technology... why are you so cruel?, sometimes... :(

Hi to all optimists.

Every day brings something  funny, lovely, special in our life,

even though it's the most boring one, if you try your best to find it in your soul.

Almost everyone whom I know, these people are married, tell that they are happy, 

because they have families. They enjoy being parents and loved by their partners and children.

But... Children love their parents, it's natural until they begin to think independent,

then they chose if they really do that or  not, the love of the partner

Thank you to all of the MyEC members who have taken my Writing Challenges in 2011. I enjoy reading and correcting your writing. You inspire me! You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. 

We are coming to the end of a year, and it's time to reflect on the past and prepare for the future. One word that helps us do this in English is the word "if". Do you know how to use this word properly? 

Your Task

1. Review the structure of Conditionals on EnglishClub.com. Take the quiz to check your

Many are asking what would you do in 2012, what are you preparing for the new year?

What are the new resolutions, red lines, goals, targets, achievements?

Some really plan and stick to it..

Some say..

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner,
And his daughter Clementine.

Refrain:
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was, and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

  Walking lightly as a fairy,
Though her shoes were number nine,
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping,
Lovely girl, my Clementine.

  Drove she

You make me laugh when I want to cry,

Make me live when I want to die,

Make me smile when I want to frown,

You turn my life upside down.

Believe in me when no one else does

You’re my now, my is, my was.

When you call my name I begin to blush,

I'm afraid people notice I need you so much.

When I'm with you time flies by fast.

It's like the present is the past...
