Yesterday it was a World Book Day. Books make our life more interesting, learn us and bring our souls to new places, worlds and situations.

A long time ago I found that sci-fi books were the best way to start reading in English. Sci-fi authors usually use quite understandable language, good sci-fi books are full of new ideas and you read them not "for learning", but for pleasure. So, here are my TOP-3 books you can read in English:

1. "READY PLAYER ONE" by Ernest Cline. Obviously, you have already

Why do we run away from our fate?

We spend our days in suffer.

Why do you tell us that we are finished?

We are still very young.

During the days, we have become a story

that does not recognize an end

love and affection began and they became a goal

you used to offer me happiness,

when I drown in my tears,

you will also cry from deep inside

we were powerful in our past,

a power that challenges difficulties.

We cut the dark night.

We walk on the trail.

We were a symbol of kindness.

Hi all!!  Sitting here this morning reading over the blogs and contemplating the events that have taken place in EC and in our own lives over the past weeks, a few thoughts came to me.  One thought was of Mr. Josef.  I was basically unaware of him, other than the creator of this site, before I became a moderator.  To me, he is, was and has been the power behind this place called English Club.  He is a very learned man.  I have found him fair, tolerant, decisive, caring, optimistic, sympathetic,

People are being judged by their actions and the way they behave but sometimes the situation makes you behave unpredictable and differently. So is it right to make their own perception before knowing the fact? What I have learnt from life that don't be come to conclusion so early , give proper time to understand the person and then react accordingly. Might be this way you can see the world in different way and can understand people better.

There are many quotes.

Today, I read one of them that I want to share with you all:

Jokes are usually funny brief stories that intended to make people laugh. Sometimes, they depend on the person who tells the joke himself. The joke can be very amusing, but the joker or the person who is telling them is not funny. His jokes fall flat and no one will laugh. Therefore, people will not find it very funny. on the contrary, the joke can be silly, but the person who narrates them is a funny or an amusing man.

Did I tell you the joke about that man who left his car keys in the ignition?

The word "Proverb" is well-known and understandable to everybody. In French language the equivalent of proverb is proverbe /pʀɔvɛʀb/ and in Arabic مثل /maθal/. Many scholars tried to define the word proverb. Woldgan Meider is one of them. He states that a proverb is a short generally known sentence of the folk which contains wisdom, truth, moral and traditional views in a metaphorical and memorisable form and which is handed from generation to generation. It is clear that proverbs are used in ou

Opening a can of worms in order just to let them slime and sneak on others one has to be aware that these worms might get back on you and treats you the way you expected for the others.

What would be your way to take them worms back in the can? Collect them one by one and put them back into the can or hit them to death with just one enormously huge flap and whistle pretending innocence?

Damn I might get an a..kick, though I can´t help. Needed to get rid of this thought.

Thanks for attention

Why I always feel alone though you are with me in my memory, in my feelings, in my senses? Or is only the ache of my heart, that makes me feel that I am not with you.  We did accompany on the way of highway of life, though for a short duration, but I still feel the shower of your love upon me.  Now you are gone, and I am perplexed how I will handle this aching separation.  I can feel you running like blood in my veins, blood the prove of life, so as you in me.  I am faded like flower without lif

I am from Ukraine. If you don`t know, it is a quite big country in the Eastern Europe, that has borders with such big countries and Unions as Russia and the European Union.

During the 21-st century we have had several uprisings/revolutions - in 2004 and in 2014. The first one was peaceful with no casualties, but the second revolution was bloody - died more than 100 people and things were getting worse and worse...

First of all, a "friendly" country Russia decided to use weakness of Ukraine in 2014

Has Anybody Seen the comment left by a user named Nadeem on Paula's page recently , the comment is as follows :

“I’m so sick… I need to go to hospital…Quinn taking me to hospital….he thinks I am having a heart attack”.

Gratefully having gained this term quite recently from Paula I enjoy the imagination of the sound.

BOP to me sounds as if the head contains grey mass. The grey mass softens the acoustic noise.

in case there is no grey mass but an empty room the acoustic noise rather would sound DOOOOONG.

lol what vivid languages can be.

Before I start telling my thoughts let me declare:

This is not meant to blame anyone especial. It is a thought coming up quite often particularly in controversial disputes. During almost all controversial discussions it occures that people try to convince the opponent of the own points of view. People stick to their arguments and do not leave their trace for even a Jota. Usually such disputes end up in useless word-battles, yapping and finally insults and offence. 

As much as people reject the ide
