ESL Blogs

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

It was We who Sold our Own Liberty

(Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer)

Liberty is supreme and priceless, is the feature of life in heaven and shows the level of a LIFE. The more liberty, the more heavenly; the less the liberty, the more hellish.

Liberty, love! For my love I will sacrifice life,

There two I need, For liberty I will sacrifice my love.

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it,

I wrote this poem a few years ago.  It is a sad one and it is about love.  I hope you enjoy it.

I Sent It On Sent It On The Wind

Just before I wake up
In that place that we all know
I find that I am with you...
Before the sunlight shares her glow
With your arms around me
Your chin upon my hair
I was thinking how contented
I seemed while I am there

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,

I have to say I was so impressed by Luci's Challenge!!!  What a good idea.  I read some of the best stories by member's answering this challenge.  Some of us are trying our best to think of good, and interesting challenges for the near future.  No one wants to see this part of EC go down due to lack of interest.  Reading and writing are two of the most important tools we have when it comes to learning English.  Each blog is such an important part of this site.  We all have things to say.  We all

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

Regardless of your experience as an educator, every ESL teacher must be smart and have a collection of valuable online tools handy at all times. You may be struggling with a class of students with lack of interest in the subject or teaching those who always strive to learn more than it is planned in the program. Whether you are in the first situation or the latter, you must always have access to the best teaching recourses that will allow you to teach students with various learning styles.

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

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
