When I wake, I see you first, your thoughts give me strength to overcome all of life's adversities.

You are the foremost feeling, running through my mind; from the back of it, all the way to the bottom of my heart.

Taking a look at this infographic can give you some tips to enjoy a good meal and not offend the people around you.

Note: I do not own these Qs & As.

Children sometimes say the funniest things. And they don't care about the possible consequences. As dumb as their answers might be, they are often ridiculously genius! I got to admit, no matter that these answers are technically wrong, in a way they are somehow correct. Should these guys be penalized for giving a simple answer or should the questions be more specific? Look at the below answers that can drive any teacher crazy.

1- Teacher: Describe how you earn mon

Look at the picture below. As the title is self-explanatory, try to find the mistake. Notice anything?

Look at the numbers, their colors, their arrangement. Seriously, nothing huh? Well, you are right. There is nothing wrong with numbers.

Really, read the question again.

Got it?

What about this one? There is nothing extraordinary in this picture right? Just a bunch of pebbles. WRONG!

You can see the face of a man right in the middle of the picture.

Have you ever been in a situation that you feel like a massive facepalm doesn't even begin to cover it? There comes a time when we do something that immediately regret, but what's done is done. The worst part is when others are at the center of the awkward zone, but your manners don't allow you to react accordingly, or do they?
Let's picture some of these situations.

Telling 'You too' when the waiter says enjoy your meal.

Wearing socks with sandals.

Wearing crocs. Oh dear.

 Whether a big luxury building, or a small rental flat, almost all of us have a special feeling about the place we are living in. The feeling that may vary in quality and intensity from person to person…

Yes. I am writing about home, house, Khane (in Persian) or whatever you call it in your own mother tongue. Our home, regardless of its size and features, is a place where almost all of us feel great comfort in it. It is like a safe shelter that links the members of a family; and a pleasing place

Selected question: What do you think is the best section in EC that has made your English learning improved? Why?

My answer:

Undoubtedly, the coolest section of MyEC is blogs. Here, we can put to the test what we know about the English language in words.

It's very important to practise writing very often, because it shows how wide our vocabulary is at a specific point of the learning journey. And when you have an environment specially thought for the writing purpose it is even better. You know, thi

I have always had a knack of reading horror stories, especially when I'm alone in my room with no lights on.

Watching horror movies doesn't activate your imagination as the books do, because the cast and crew have already imagined the worst nightmare possible for you. Here are some one-liner horror stories that I've read so far:

I burned the dolls despite of my daughter's crying. She thought I was the one who put them in her room each night.

I entered the empty elevator pushing the button for my f

Ernest Hemingway, was one of the American novelists, who left behind an impressive body of work and an iconic style of writing. Aside from his novels like "A Farewell to Arms", "The Sun Also Rises", "The Old Man and the Sea", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", etc., he was also famous for his short stories. 

One of his friends mentioned a story about Hemingway's get-together with his close friends in a bar. They challenged each other to write the saddest, shortest story that they could improvise at once.

When i see the stars, I stare...The sun, I glare...Sometimes I wonder how impetuous I am to imagine and dare.

to hold you high above the clouds in my hands, and sigh at the thought of your sight.

Just wonder why I imagine the rain falling into shards of infinity upon my spirit.

You walked away, and even if it's a little hard to say....The one of very few thoughts I cannot help, but see, is....you

PUSSY cat where have you been? 
The cat : I went out with my friends. 
But where?
The cat: At the pub house.
So what have you drink?
The cat: Just beer.
You never ate some food?
The cat: Yes only beers. I hate eating when I drink.
But why you have some butter? 
The cat: Yes I ate some few butter.
At the pub?
The cat: Yes there's a butter on "SISIG". Have you tried eating that?
YES but never seen butter. Only sizzling plate with some mayo not butter.
The cat: Whatever.... I love butter but now it

It was dark late night, an open window invited inside the specious bedroom cold fresh air, which was giving her little bit of energy. She was tired, nevertheless her tiredness wasn't anything annoying, but sweet mixed feeling of being exhausted, sleepy and happy in one. In fact she was eagerly waiting for the only one - to disappear somewhere, no matter where. She closed her eyes without slight idea, which game will her mind choose to play tonight. She felt her soul was nearly free and that was

Hello, people of the world. 

Traditionally I write blogs after my trips so I'm doing it right now. In January 2016 I decided to go back to Bremen (Germany).

NB: as usual, all photos are taken by me :) 

My previous trip to this cosy German city in summer is here: http://www.myenglishclub.com/profiles/blogs/opening-this-world-bremen-2015-germany

Winter Bremen looks like a fairy tale from Grimm Brothers' books. It's a pity that it was only for on day and then it melted. So I was lucky to take all those

THE ‘PERSUADERS’ IN LIFE

A happy and prosperous life is one of the major aims a man has in his life, the pursuit of which usually exerts the greatest influence upon man, to this he looks for the reward of his toil.

In the first place he desires a happy life, and to further this end, he wishes to earn an income sufficient to make his family and himself comfortable.  By most men an affectionate wife and honest, intelligent and obedient children are reckoned among the greatest blessings. 

With some, t

Note: I do not own these definitions.

They are totally made-up phrases, yet ridiculously accurate.

Next time you forgot these words, use these definitions.
Just kidding...
Don't do that. The only purpose is to have some fun with words. Can you think of any?

Kitten: cat puppy       Gloves: finger pants    Milk: Cereal water   Doughnut: sugar bagel   French fries: potato sticks        Ice cubes: water with corners  The sun: space light       Kleenex: sneeze paper     Feathers: bird leaves     Camel

 There is no doubt that a lot of people who use motorbikes in their daily lives would never change these means of transport for the other.What is the reason for their choice, if everyday there are a lot of accidents in which motorcyclists die?

First of all,we can't compare riding a motorbike with driving a car.When you drive a motorbike you feel wind in your hair,what makes you free.Moreover,motorbikes use less fuel and don't need expensive repairs,what makes them cheaper than cars.Finally,they a

First and foremost, this collection of courts' transcripts is definitely not mine. This collection was shared through the Facebook. Apparently it was copied from a book called Disorder in the Courts by Charles M. Sevilla. These conversations or interrogations by the lawyers/attorneys towards the witnesses sound too ridiculous that they could only be real. These transcripts were taken words for words by the court reports. 

So, I hope this collection of courts' transcripts can brighten your weekend

An Old Story of Friendship:

A father and a son were arguing about friendship. Father was viewing that there existed no true friendship as it was in his time. The son was opposing the viewpoint of his father and insisting that the true friendship also existed in his time. 

“Ok we should examine this by visiting your friend and mine and put some problem before them to help us out” The father suggested.

“In the middle of night?” The son said hesitatingly.

“Yes this is the exact time to test their frien

I am always impressed by people, who are able to pack their stuff and help others, no matter what is going on behind the scene - if civil conflict, natural disaster or war. I would say that Doctors without borders are one of them. Strong, brave, patient, flexible and with the golden heart. Such abilities can be considered abilities of the real heroes because there aren't so many people, who would risk their own life to rescue lives of unknown people just in the name of humanity. I do admire each
