As summer approaches, English teachers in China are looking for new and exciting things to do with their time off. Not everyone has full weekends to take trips out of the city (as some people work weekends at training centers or have private lessons to attend to), so here’s a suggestion for a trip that will make you feel like you’ve left the busy city bustle behind while traveling along the convenience of the Shenzhen metro.

The Dafen Oil Painting Village is a gated community which marks its entr

My ESL career started with all my plans spinning out of control, I was heading out to the world looking for my calling and at the time I believed that to be marketing for automotive manufacturers.

At this point in my life I thought I knew three things about myself. I wanted to work with cars, I was driven to do that come hell or high-water, and I was going to do it all in Australia. I was wrong on all three counts. In my quest for opportunities in the automotive world I ended up in Thailand and w

How to Improve Vocabulary

We share how it is interesting, effective and fast to increase our vocabulary.

Wordle-vocabulary-1p1s4xh.jpg?width=600

Stage 1. Selection of material

Words need to be learned in context. Learning new words from texts is always more interesting than just a list of words (even one topic), because we better remember them when they are associated with the plot. Therefore, I do not recommend using mobile programs such as "1000 most used words in English", which with the help of cards and pictures offer to learn a set of words. It is possible

What's the reason?

For some days I have been wondering to find out whether I have changed a bit than before! I guessed it as now I like to talk and along with it  feel comfortable to communicate (actually I communicate by writing) with my net based friends than some of my surrounding people. How about you? No, I still like to talk, spend time with my family and who I really care and like, i,e, with my good relatives, friends ( though they are only two and live in abroad!)neighbors, my house staff.

Dear, Rain

It is raining outside. I love smell of the rain. I love its atmosphere which makes me drowsy. I'm sitting down. I'm thinking. I'm reminiscing the memories that had gone away. I'm smiling and pensiving. Now I know, everything is just for temporary. Just like the rain... I can't even hold up a drop of the rain.

NFL Live Stream

DAZN experienced similar problems in Japan when it launched its coverage of J. League soccer. (It paid US$1.9 billion for the 10-year rights to that content.)

STREAMING PROBLEMS

Kaan Yigit, president of consulting firm Solutions Research Group, said it’s no surprise for a new service to have early glitches. Still, live event streaming problems are larger compared to the minor annoyance of having to reboot a TV show on Netflix.

Are You Feeling Insecure?

There are more than 7 billions people over the world. Can you imagine where they come from? Of course, they come from an uterus of mother. Since we were living in mother's uterus, it means that we need someone who not only feed us but love us. A love of a mother is so precious. We keep growing all the time. We meet new people and get new experiences in life. We can distinguish what is better or worse for our life. We choose our inner circle. And in some circumstances, we feel alone. We feel nobo

Hi, ladies and gentlemen! Here is the breaking news on our EC channel! Stay with us!

After returning to EC megalopolis, one of our favorite teachers suddenly changed his traditional orientation and started going nuts! His traditional learning blogs about idioms, phrasal verbs and grammar have been replaced by his sarcastic blogs deriding learners’ mistakes. He must have rested his brains somewhere in the jungle of the blunders he faces every day! He writes down all your mistakes in a long hand on

When people mention cheating in school, one thought immediately pops up in our mind – the student is too lazy to do his assignments. And while this may be the truth for many students, it is definitely not the only reason why students decide to cheat. In many cases, students cheat as a result of difficulties in life or college, or when they are left with no other solution for their assignments.

So, instead of tagging every student who cheats as lazy, you may want to consider these five reasons why

Many people think that teaching English as a foreign language in another (likely tropical) climate means that you’re going on some sort of vacation, or that you are taking a break from your professional life in some way. When in reality, this is not the case at all. As more teachers struggle to find gainful employment, an increasingly large number are recognizing the strategic professional advantage that teaching English as a foreign language provides.

Without some kind of unique qualification to

Worries about a friend.

Some days ago, I was reading a book when a friend called me up via Skype.

My friend is a Canadian, He's a forty-five years old man with German roots from his grandparents. I know, he misses Germany because he hadn't been here for many years. He has still relatives in Germany. He told me to come in the next spring when Germany is more beautiful than in other seasons of the year.

My friend is a musician and poet. He writes and composes the own songs. Playing the guitar and singing is his life.
