ESL Blogs

Yes, a blog mod or the admin may try to feature some of the blogs posted here every day.

You may have wondered why your blogs failed to be featured or why some of the blogs are featured!

A blog mod may tend to feature the blogs that are readable, interesting, with few or no grammar mistakes. Yes, you bet the blogs must be written by MyEC members themselves, not copied from the Internet or plagiarized. Featured blogs may not be related to English learning or teaching but there are some taboos (sex,

This is a real story that happened to me when I was teen. And it was something very horrible and terrifying that I am still carrying it on my memory and body. So, you can see here that it's a real horror and not just a game or a fictional story.. I hope it would not cause you any real problems in life, if you would have to pass by it in future... 

Story began in one of awesome autumn nights, everything was going awesomely.. it was quiet... sometimes it was busy to the extent that you could never

Trick or treat! Halloween is coming and what an appropriate time to share with you an English expression that something related to the dead.

The expression ‘as dead as a doornail’ simply means something is very dead or totally dead. It’s obvious that it’s not moving. According to BBC Learning English, this expression was commonly used during Shakespeare’s days. Other notable writers such as Charles Dickens included this expression in their books. People might have integrated doornail because it’s

Let me tell you a story I got from a friend. It just happened a few months ago. I use fake names as I also don't know the real name. :p

Let's say all kids are cute. Livia was in grade 4. She was really a fan of a little boy in grade 3, Patrick. No!! She wasn't only a fan. Ssst!!! She fell in love with Patrick. LOL... As she couldn't hide her feeling, she decided to make a letter. OMG!! In this era, a letter? A dangerous evidence! :D :D It was a 'love letter' that she wanted to send to him. Unfort

NO GOODBYE

I just realized that I did not say goodbye because I don't want to.

I continue my life and stay strong because I have to.

Life goes on and you have to let go. 

But please I don't want to say GOODBYE.

I know I am being too selfish , but please give me this moment to relish and remember You.

How I love and miss you. 

Your love, thoughtfulness and care.

I know you are in better place now :)

Still I don't want to say goodbye 

because you remain in my heart.

Love, your daughter

''Nowadays everybody wants to be different so why not a witch!, and to be honest watching  scared people and  listening to them scream every now and then  is rather boring,'' Natalia was thinking in this way last night while she was resting on a tall Palm tree after having her dinner. " But, what can I do ?, Nata asked herself.

Nata is a very wicked witch who lives on the palm tree near a school play ground and likes to scare people specially kids. And, due to her foul work kids stopped playing h

I was in a dense forest on MyEC Island, somewhere in the world. There were so many people and I didn’t know them so well. However, it is they who accompanied me there in happiness and laughter for 3 years. I was so kind and beautiful (LOL *kidding) that many people liked me. But since that day, everything has changed.

One morning, my body was transformed into something scary. Some sharp small swords grew in my both hands. I may not realize that I hurt people around me. My ears and nose were getti

Since ancient times witches have been protecting and caring of nature. One of the main ways of protection and care of nature is the Sabbath but it can't be possible without a special ritual which includes cooking the powerful magic elixir and the main ingredient of the elixir is the fern flower.

"You are late... I have almost finished my decoctition. Where is the root of mandrake?" Asked Sabrina's mother Ophelia when young witch came home. Sabrina gave it to her mother and tried to escape as fast

I had no idea, what happened. I woke up and heard some steps running to me. Me...alone...in the middle of the night lying on the path of the dark forest. I can hear my heart beating… beating so fast that I have problem to catch my breath. Suddenly weird flashbacks enlightened my mind and I was able to recall some of the sequences…

Me and my friends in the forest playing this silly game. All were blindfolded, all were trying to find one another and then... it happened. Linda started yelling so lou

Along all my 124 EC Blog posts, I've published many of them with the title: picture of the day, quote/word/idiom of the day, joke of the day, tweet/fb post of the day, youtube video of the day, story of the day and even 'funny stuff' of the day. But now I come here with some more serious stuff: This is the MUST WATCH Documentary of... not 'the day', but the Century. Ladies and Gentlemen: Professor Chomsky.

My Halloween nightmare

I was in a sound sleep when someone suddenly opened my bedroom's door. It was very dark, almost midnight. I opened my eyes. At first, I couldn't see anything. My eyes weren't accustomed to the darkness. The only things I could see: two red points on my white bedsheet.

It was creepy because I did not know what would happen. Suddenly, the moon came out from behind the clouds. Before my bed stood a figure dressed in a dark linen fabric; a deep manly voice commanded me to com

My dear friends! As I told you I have saved the best expression for my Halloween story because it is a true horror! Ready? LOL!

Here is the sentence I read:

“I have a shoe in one leg and another leg is bare.”

Doesn’t it make you feel creepy all over? First of all, this creature has more than two legs and I can easily imagine some giant centipede, such a monster crawling along the street limping because of wearing only one shoe (nobody knows where) and very strange tights that leave one of her legs

In trees, the wind is singing quietly.
The night shows us the breath of cold.
The leaves, so colorful fall softly.
The hills look great like red and gold.

Like curtains lies the fog on meadows.
The songs of birds will fade away.
So countless are the kinds of shadows.
The days show many shades of gray.

And Flocks of birds begin their flying,
to find a place so warm and bright.
Their melodies are farewells crying,
you can it hear all day and night.

The droplets on the nets of spiders
let shine them like the s

My friends! My story is based on "Viy" story by the famous Ukrainian/Russian writer Nikolay Gogol. On the other hand, it is also based on my memories about your mistakes and Danny's blogs. So, there we go!

In the middle of the night I woke up lying on the path in the dark forest.  Suddenly I heard soft steps nearing stealthily. I raised my head and saw two green spots glowing in the dark. I looked closely and saw a familiar silhouette! “Shoo! Shoo!” I cried and she disappeared with her tail betwe

here's a little story I made, hope u like it 

It was a normal beautiful day and Roman the Clumsy Squirrel was getting ready to do his squirrel things (collecting nuts, reading EC blogs, etc). Nobody ever expects that anything bad could happen in a sunny autumn morning because all the horror things happen at night, during a storm, or on election days. So, there was Roman the Clumsy Squirrel feeling confident and safe: -"It is a very bright and nice day! Nothing bad can happen to me!*humming while walkin'*"

What the poor Roman couldn't have im

Well, my friends! I promised you the happy end and here you are! However, before reading the story, you are expected to read my usual introduction presenting and explaining your mistakes. Hope you will find a few minutes to look through them.

1. “She always gives me wise decisions.” As a matter of fact, people are used to saying words of advice rarely followed. We usually listen to advice, analyze it and make up our mind.

Job interviews are like first dates: Good impressions count; Awkwardness can occur; Outcomes are unpredictable. Your palms tend to get sweaty and you clam up. Or you get self-conscious and start talking non-stop to fill every pause in the conversation. Both, not good scenarios. If you get that first impression wrong, that would most likely be the end of the line for you! No second date and definitely no amazing job. But worry no more. We have the perfect

Thunderstorm

Slowly starts the thunderstorm,
I can hear its rumbling
and the lightning will be born
and the wind hunts something.

People running fast to home,
closing doors and windows.
No one likes to be alone
when the storm its face shows.

Do you see the dance of trees?
How they bow the tops?
Do you hear the song of Rain,
the drumming of the drops?

Birds are drinking from the puddle,
one has lost a feather.
Outside seems it like a muddle
but soon will sooth the weather.

Wind has swept the streets so clean,
