ESL Blogs

You know, for a while I used this site too much, reading and writing blogs, commenting on them, watching photos and clips, thinking about the ideas behind of them, but... suddenly everything changed. I myself don't have a laptop or a mobile with essential abilities to access to the Internet so I use my brother's laptop. Now because of some reasons I see my brother rarely so I don't use this site as much as before. And also I failed in an exam, an important one! So I'm studying again for that 7 o

Imagine you just seated yourself in the airport - waiting for boarding.  That's when you found yourself shaking your legs while seated watching, talking or listening. I just invented this word 'legshakin' for the movement of your legs. I know there's a Chinese word for such leg movement. What do you call it in English? Or can you invent a word yourself for the leg movement?

legshakin ∣noun∣ /legʃeikiŋ/

Example sentence: Legshakin can be so annoying or distracting, but can also be so beneficial for

Nobody is perfect and everybody makes mistakes. Well, I hope we all can agree on this. Anyway, what do you think: "How to face criticism without being hurt? Is it possible?" We can say without doubt that criticism activates our emotions. It is pretty individual because some people feel sad or useless, others pretend they don't care etc. I think that the way we percieve it also goes hand in hand with our self-esteem. People with low self-confidence might get totally destroyed by one negative sent

Hello again EC Members, the young and the not so young but still young at hearts. It's me again, Milo Ninos a/k Lemongrass. Since it's a bit mouthful, (I don't know what my Moms were thinking at that time), I like to be called Ninos. But since Lady Evangelina said I'm a VIK (very important kitten), I think I want

Once someone told me that my handwriting was just illegible. I became upset definitely. But I did not answer defiantly. Instead, I tried my level best and became eligible.

I do believe, we should be diligent along with elegant.

 I am so sad and feel disappointed. I got low mark for my individual assignment. I only get B-. Yeah I know I have business background  compared to others. But they got higher marks than me. Its not the main problem. I don't really understand about what the task had given to me. I thought that the lecturer want the simple report but they did better and more details. The easy concept actually but it looks complex for me. Lack of knowledge of me. However, there are another assignments have to do a

Hello, everyone. 

Today I read news on my Facebook page and I found an interesting report. 

Due to the present situation in Syria and other countries we got a prejudice about people from that region. Today I don't want to discuss it. I want to translate this report from my native to you and show you another side of this complicated situation. 

As usual, generals keep safe during the war, but only simple soldiers and people suffer. This is what happened with this man. His name is Abdul and he escape

Three days ago I became an aunt! My sister gave a birth and has a beautiful babygirl, who is biracial (half black and half white). She was born three weeks early and her name is Sofie, even though her name will be April :) Confusing ..I know ..but name April isn't officially allowed here to use, so my sister is now waiting for the approval letter written by one special lady and on the basis of it, officers can rename her. I wish I could see her as soon as possible, however right now I am "enjoyi

"don't be like that,OK.....I don't want u to go or leave me" he whispered that to me, when I started to be jumpy on something.

"I like you, and you know that i can never love anyone I don't know why"  even I never asked him to feel that what so called love, we even agreed that no such thing called love ...

But he kept knoc

Sometimes I wonder, is it mere a coincidence that Osama Bin Laden, Hafeez Saeed, Tashfeen Malik, Syed Farook, Al-queda, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Haqqani Network, Kasab etc. all either belong to Pakistan or have a very close link with Pakistan. Sometimes I think that may be we are discussing over the issue superficially and not putting the enough efforts to dig down and find out the basic roots of all violence. Statements from the leadership and authorities around the world look hollow, their chorus is

Hello everyone. I'm back to introduce you a curious English expression called "Bank Holidays".

Probably, the name will make you relate to some kind of holidays. And yes, it is! Mini-holidays, to tell the truth.

The expression refers to the public or national holidays in the UK, when banks close and financial transactions come to a halt. Most of workers get  days off, because offices don't work on these days.

Most of "bank holidays" in the UK are on Mondays, what turns normal weekends into long week

Hello partners, last night I was talking with a good friend, a wonderful woman, the kind of person that change us forever... Thanks "S...", I meant to you...

We were talking about everything and nothing at the same time; in a moment of this conversation I send her a message "Prayer for tolerance" and she said this prayer should be written in all places.

So, I´m here, writing the message in a blog, I hope you read it and comment about it.

Pair lecturing enables a more thorough reflection-on-action since the teaching experience is shared with a pair professor. It also enables deeper reflection-in-action, incorporating student interaction into the lecture plan while keeping the assessment methods and the teaching activities affi

English language has very wide vocabulary; there is almost an equivalent for each word, so it is hard to make a new word in English.
I made the words “co-brother-in-law” and “co-sister-in-law” for men married sisters and women married brothers respectively, but when I searched online dictionaries, I found that these words have already been invented in English, of course they are uncommon in English and just used in South India.

“Where are you from?” is the most frequently asked question on EC. Though I have never asked it, I always take the trouble to go to the member’s page and look for the info there.:))))

We tend to form our opinions of people based on popular stereotypes. Are you from China? Brazil?  Oops, I know what you are like.

It works the other way round, too. When we meet  nice people, our hearts warm towards their country of origin. So, the whole populace takes credit for one person being pleasant and agreeab
