Some words are like hammers ,
Blunt and heavy like lead.
They fall on your soul
Making all senses go dead.
Some words are like daggers -
Sharp and ruthless without restraint.
They leave the soul in ugly scars
To endure an unbearable pain.
Some words are like raindrops –
Tiny things that do not weigh.
But their healing softness
Washes your sorrows away.
Whence did this wound appear?
Harsh words nobody did tell.
The tragic mystery of life –
Untold words can hurt like hell.
There may be thousands of lovers, but rarely there is one who is set on the level of a beloved. How nice it is to make you feel complete that there is someone in a corner of this earth who thinks about you, cares about you in her solitude. Your memory spreads a sweet smile on my face. This is enough for me.
Everybody has a different taste when it comes to clothes. Some prefer a fine tailor-made suit or dress while others like the good ol' jeans and T-shirts.
Most of the time, when classy gets into mind, I think of the whole persona of a well dressed guy. Since what you wear is who you are. Not the brand kind of thing, but the style of clothes you wear on a daily basis. I mean, people are free to wear whatever they like, but there’s a fine line between classy and trashy.
Clothes can define you –
To all the 90's kids:
Do you remember the first time you got your Walkman? The struggle of fitting it in your pocket was insane. Today's kids cannot relate, but how happy you felt walking around among your jealous friends?
Yesterday, I was cleaning my room and my nephew saw an old floppy disk in my waste basket. He picked it up and said: 'You 3D printed a save icon. Cool." I just smiled and sighed.
Do you remember these?

How many times do you see this picture while commuting in a crowded subway? Probably a lot.
When was the last time that you smiled at the little baby who was in his mom's lap looking at you with those curious eyes?
When was the last time that you gave a person a friendly nod who was sitting beside you?
When was the last time that you decided to offer your seat to an old lady instead of listening to the top ten hits on your iPod and closing your eyes?
I can hear you say so what if I didn't, it is th
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
