Oi there,
Indeed, translations can be very "tricky"! First of all, the person doing the translation should have well mastered the original language of the text being translated. Translating demands a vast knowledge of our own mother tongue as well as an appreciable knowledge of the language we are to translate into, the customs of the people using that language and some history. All these give the translator a rich "library" of words, notions, quotes and so on.
I have been doing some translati
As Mary pointed, and Josef became serious about less activity, here is my effort to give a try to revive blogging activity on EC again.
As I promised to Paula that I will leave my comfort zone.. and after adding inspiration from Expector Smith's blog I came up with this easy and creative writing challenge..
This writing challenge is based on new words. I will introduce only 2 new words to you. And you can write a short two paragraph blog using these two words. You are free to write anything, a sto
Aloha little EC birds!
As some of you already know, I was labeled as 'Spambuster' some days ago. After complaining about it (that's so ME, right?) that label was removed and replaced for another pretty much cooler: 'REBEL'!
I admit it was cool and funny to feel like the 'Officially MyEC Rebel' for some days, but I had the feeling it couldn't last... Just how it happend.
But anyway, I don't wanna bore you with my sob story; I've no time for boo-hoos! As creative person, every experience I have (no
Yes, what I'm trying to say is, it will be more enjoyable if MyEC is full of short blogs, on which a lot of comments are added.
Why short blogs? It seems nowadays people tend to read what is short - they no longer enjoy lengthy articles or blogs. It takes time to read something long, but they can't find the time to read among the hustle and bustle.
Then, why a lot of comments? It's no fun writing blogs with no or only a few comments added - the blogger will be so disheartened or disappointed or
This is my 1st blog or may be the last blog in EC
i don't know what happened with my feelings and how to express these feelings. why i felt like an empty sheet.
I was very shocked why my 1st and best friend anxa left me without any notice at all. I knew you from day 1, when i haven't known anyone here. We shared about anything in EC. She knows all about my country, i felt like she is my old friend. i am still curious Why and Why she left myEC without any message or farewell blog. i don't feel exc
Yes, I'm trying to say that a blog may occur if you really know what you want to share or express.
A blog is just about what you really want to tell us or talk about.
You may want to share an interesting story or experience; you may want to express an idea or feeling; you may want to tell us you are trying to understand what just happened, or you may want to talk about something so popular yet controversial.
Three things should be kept in mind when you try to write:
First, the title of your blog sh
LEARN TO LISTEN - LISTEN TO LEARN
"No man would listen to you talk if he didn't know it was his turn next." (Quote by Ed howe, an American novelist)
This is natural a human being (may be animal also) born with a desire “to be listened”, but to "be listened", it is also obligatory that one should have the bearing to listen to others.
Just take your own example. You are with a group of friends and some conversation is going on. Just imagine what would be your feelings, when you find one of your frie
Before you read this blog, please agree to read it at night. If you are reading it at night then ok.
Have you ever noticed that at night you think about things with another point of view? I am not sure about another people, but i think of the same things differently at day and at night... For example: during the day i can think about life, death, time and about endless universe and nevermind about all this things (really who cares about such things...).
But... When night is coming, som
Many years ago, when i was young, me and my big brother, we spent every summer in the village with our granny.
This is a beautifull place, where i can do everything i want (really everything). In that time we hated this village... because sometimes there was no another kids to play with and we were angry about it...
During that time we were helping our granny with household. That household inclooded many works like: to feed the goats in forest, to make supplies for goats for the winter,
Yes, a smartphone is a mobile phone that can be used as a small computer.
A smartphone that connects to the Internet can be so versatile that you don't really need a desktop or laptop. It seems eveybody here in China has such a smartphone - they read, watch or write on their phone whenever they have leisure or spare time, whether on the underground or metro, or in the line or queue, or even walking.
That is to say, they have spent so much time learning or playing on their phone. They no longer us
Long time everyone!!! finally I have my holiday and join this site again. Will start up this season(?) by writing for Luci's challenge. It feels a bit quiet here, hope to contribute more and others can participate as well. sorry for the long text, LUci wanted downs and ups, lol xD Enjoy ;)
My dear Peppo,
I would like to tell you something nobody has an idea about. You may already hear it as a rumor in our neighborhood. So, it is not our family secret but I want to share it personally with you. You
well, It would be easier if I knew who you are going to talk to and why they have to listen to you! But, of course, there are some general rules to make people listen to you...lol. And, here I am going to tell you exactly what I do at my work place.
1. Be respectful specially if they are elder/aged people. Even it is also applicable/appreciable if/when we work with our juniors! Never try to make them down!
2. Be patience more than you are. A smiling face always works! Though all time we can no
Good day, my friend!
Why I couldn't find your profile page? Maybe you've decided to leave MyEC temporarily or for good? Whatever your reason is, I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks for all your positive comments and encouragement on my photos and video shares as well as for liking them. I haven't known you for quite some time but you've showered good vibes on our club.
I do hope that your reason for deleting your account wasn't about unpleasant experiences here. I wish you'd have a 'change you
The Legacy of my Grandmother
It was a lovely afternoon in January 2010 when I turned my face to search for memorial things that belong to my maternal grandmother. I took leave and I went to my old deceased grandmother's big house to look for her old stuff. I stepped in the abandoned house and I looked around the rooms but there was nothing really interesting , I decided to go to the attic base hoping to find something interesting.
Once I got in, the attic was dark and everything around was covered
Can anyone tell me when women started using head gears? Am I sounding a bit different today? I hope not but this question has been buzzing into my mind for some days.
So far I know and how I can guess, women around the globe wear it and of course these women belong to different nationalities/races/religions. Here, I would like to mention head gears are not only beautiful scarfs, it can be hat, orna (which is known in Indian-subcontinent), the end part of a sari and yes, here you can add if you ha
A Sceleton in a Closet
Moving to a new apartment about a month ago I decided to look through all the papers and documents kept at my home for many years. There were mostly the death certificates as most of my relatives had passed away. But suddenly I noticed a secret pocket in the folder where I found one unopened envelope yellowed with time. I had never seen it before. It was addressed to me. Sure, I got
Dear Risty,
You are a smart kid even though heaven wouldn't allow me to see you in flesh, but I know by heart you are. Just recently, the war began and by the time you'll see the world only words written in your books are our proof of existence. I'm so glad you will be born in the future so you'll not see how painful your people gone slaughtered. The so-called fellow men turned back from good deeds and shared the pleasure evildoers love to do, seeing them raping our own women, ripping our childre
This is my second blog, using the same first word "Strange" :D Yeah I cannot say how many strange events come into my life. Besides, I'm not creative enough to make a nice title. Hopefully you will enjoy it!
So I want to share my random experience. Random? Well maybe not... I cannot say this is uncommon, because I have a huge list!
In November 2016, I attended an event in another city. It was my first event that required me to speak English for 3 days. Hmm I can say I was so nervous because it was
Hello guys,
it has been long time EC used to be full of Writing Challenges, so why not to repeat the history and give it a try once more again?
Here I am coming with my Writing Challenge and I hope it will inspire you to write and post your blogs as I would like to read interesting letters full of ups and downs, surprises, creativity etc. :-)
Well, what it is the task?
Imagine you were going through all the stuff your ancestors left hidden closed in the attic and suddenly you came across a mysteriou
