To begin with I should say I am not as good at making fun like as  others. Sometimes I can't even make out some funny stories. But, despite the fact today I want to give it a try! So, let's see.

Conversation between a teacher and a student:

Teacher: Dear student, ' What is a museum'?

Student: ' Sir, a museum is a place where musicians play their great music'.

Teacher: ' Really, so did you see musicians were playing music over there as I know you went there two days ago'?

Student: ' Sir, I did not see

So long as you get a grip on yourself, you have time for everything. If not, life slips away in a jiffy, leaving you panicky and disillusioned…

If time is limited and beyond our control, the only thing to do is to catch it by the forelock and make the most of it! Else, we will be left attempting to grab its vanishing tail in desperation… too little, too late!

In the insidious connection humans share with time, as we discussed last week in this space, planning and balance is the key to a healthy, r

Today I feel like I want to be useful for the society, for EC, for the whole world. So, guys… as my field is law, I would like to give you some information, not to get into troubles, alright? Firstly, let me say that the main rule you should follow, when entering the law world, is to be careless CAREFUL and ATTENTIVE. You never know, who wants to use you, bully you, who is not trustworthy and who might cause that sooner or later you would go belly-up. However, people make the same mistakes over

On a leisure day, I was cleaning the drawer of my writing-table which had got overflowed with the papers and different articles which had been dropping in it for last many years.

I was taking the papers and other articles out from the drawer and putting separately. I was taking a cursory look at each paper to assess whether it is important or not.

When it was almost half empty I thrust my hand into the back of the drawing to look for any other important paper. When I drag my hand out there was a

Yes, I mean you shouldn't use any other language here. 

I know your first language is not English, and your first language or mother tongue may even be considered to be the most beautiful language in the world. Besides, you may be so good at it or you may think your language is so effective in expressing a complex or subtle thought. Nevertheless, don't be tempted to use it here on MyEC - since MyEC is a website created for you to learn or teach English.

If you can't write something in English, the

As a child I used to be a little bit crazy, some people who know me would say I am crazy till now but the childhood craziness was a different one. It was something innocent, a craziness that couldn’t hurt but bring fun! My craziness was about creating stories, very spooky stories and sometimes even I myself believed in them. Whenever I saw people watching out of the window, I would imagine they were ghosts, souls of dead people who once lived in these houses and were killed or commited a suicide

Hail to the STAR MEMBER OF MARCH, Sir DANNY CLARK!!
*applauses*

^_^

We can't really say it has been a very hard-fought election, but all the people who voted for Danny had very clear and strong reasons:

"He’d been so helpful to all members and explain how he corrects the grammar usage, tenses, prepositions, phrasal verbs and tons of useful tips"  ~Risty Aven

"I do aprecciate a lot his effort to make our English better, to teach us here for free, invest his time in scolding stupid innocent people lik

As the members expected, she became very nervous and ready to make a fight for the smallest trifles. She stole money from her husband's wallet to buy her dope. Once he woke up and could not find her beside him. This time, his wallet was not there at all. What should he do? He wanted to go to work and all his cards were there. His identity card, ATM card and some important documents there. He could not drive his car. There was no gas. He could not even take a taxi. To wait for her until she comes

My friends, I see many of you have no idea of such a construction, so let me tell you about it. Its structure is:

                          A Subject + a predicate + the infinitive

We can say, there are two general cases:

1. The predicate is in the passive voice.  We use such a construction if the predicate is one of the verbs denoting sense perception, mental activity, suggestion, consideration, information. Here are some examples:

He is known to be a good football player. (It is known that he is a go

We have a German folk song with the title "The thoughts are free". First was this song published as text like a poem ... already in 1780.

It's based on written texts from the early 13th Century but the basic philosophy is already known from ancient times.

The last version of that poem got a melody and became a folk song with the time.

Just some lines from the early text from 1229:

The band can not find anyone,
Which binds my thoughts.
One catches woman and man,
Thoughts nobody can catch.

I publish the t

Help others without expecting anything in return

A friend of mine told me that writing could be a holistic cure for ached soul, a painkiller for a broken heart or at least a dew for a dry life. When she is disappointed with things that are not running as well as she wished or when she feels lonely or loses hope, she would grab a pen and diary to start writing down all the trash in her mind.

Why just sad moments? Well, that advice was given when I was drowned deep in sorrow. Of course, chirpy time should be great stuff to write so that it can bo

Two monks were on the road. They came from a very chaste Order, which was strictly forbidden to deal with women. One day they came to a river. There stood a beautiful woman who wanted to cross the river. Because the water was very deep, she could not do that without damaging her clothes. Then one of the monks took the woman on his shoulders, waded with her through the water, and set them dry on the other side of the river. Then the monks continued their hike. After four hours, the one monk bega

My friends, I am a little late with posting this blog, but I think it is always the right time to laugh at ourselves and to fool around! So, I propose you to write something funny about yourselves or tell a joke, a funny story or to tell us how you tricked somebody or were tricked. Any funny story is welome. Just relax and be yourselves!

I will start and tell you one joke.

Having a great time with his lover at home while his wife was away seeing her parents, a man was called from the office and to

All the countries in the world agreed to scrap all the existing nuclear weapons and not to produce any more of them from now on.
We have come to be able to allot all war expenditure in the world for education, welfare, research and development because all the countries get along well and so military isn't necessary any longer.
All leaders in the world are working hard to eliminate poverty, wars, violence, and crimes.

I had to post this writing on April fool's day.  

This beautiful fairyland is created by hard work, especially manual labor, and it is built with one block at a time. Even the picture in our mind is very beautiful, but everything would be void if we did not do anything.

The beautiful life and environment are the products of creation, and no matter how grand and beautiful the ideal is, it will not be realized without the practice of hard  work.

Work can pur
