My loving mother, you left me like in a dream,
I still feel you here close to me,
Though it’s ten years….
But it looks to me like yesterday,
I’ll always remember….
How you cared for me with all the love you had,
In your hearted with compassionate,
You bore everything, with equanimity,
You were my strength evermore,
As for me; I am still your little girl,
Whom you led by hand,
I still feel sleep on your lap pocket,
Get rolled up you,
You were never tired to see to my needs,
I’ll always miss you mother dear,
No

Dalat, which is the heart of Lamdong province in my beloved country Vietnam, is charming and pretty as a girl. It's more or less 80km far from my town. I have many chances to pay a frequent visit to this lovely place. 

Dalat enjoys the cool, fresh air. There you can spend the four seasons just during a day: the spring in the morning, the summer at noon, the autumn in the late afternoon and the winter at night. When the night falls, everything seems to lighten up as the girl has taken off her unif

Since an industrial revolution in 1970s, there is a rapid increase for equal opportunity. In recent, women are being given more opportunities as compared to men. The women comparatively feel more secured from the aspect of financial need. However, she still feels uncomfortable as far as moral support is concerned. Working among male employees, who give strange gaze at her, hinders her from applying her ability she possesses.

Most of the working women, due to slight negligence in dealing with ma

And one of the elders of the city said, "Speak to us of Good and Evil."
And he answered:
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil.
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts, it drinks even of dead waters.
You are good when you are one with yourself.
Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil.
For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house.
And a

This is the title offered by Mr. Dara to write something upon it.  This is my extempore blog written  in a very short time.  Hope you will like it, especially you Mr. Dara!

The Broken Window:

He was considered as a hermit, completely cut off from his friends and foes.  He never liked to meet anyone, neither had he encouraged those who tried to break closed windows around his personality.  He was on EC member and mostly post the blogs and never responded to the comments, praises, admiration and app

I'm writing with an empty mind. Strange as it may sound, I still can't make up anything to tell the world. Haha...let's see...What do I have now?

It's raining. The God is so generous to present us the precious water after many days letting the all creature waiting. Here coffee trees must be having a good bath. It's cooler, even colder. I bet to have a sound sleep this night. 

The house is so quiet. It must be, for sure. With the location in an isolated hill, it is an ideal place for a peaceful lif

Dear friends! After the thorough analyzis of the test on American synonyms, I can't help posting this blog. I think this word was the hardest of all. In fact, most of men know what braces are and wear them from time to time to make the pants not hang. We often put them on under suit coats/jackets for our ladies not to be confused with our outfit. I realize some ladies may not know this word, but all men should if they want to look good in public places. So, I'd like to share with you the answers

Two days ago, I wanted to write this blog. Broken Windows, I wrote the title first, and I did not know what to write next. I mean what topic or subject should I talk about? By the way, do we usually write the topic first and  then we write its title, or is it the other way round? Some people say the topic and then the title. Others say the title and then the topic. However, which one of the two hypothesizes or suppositions is correct, I am in a hole and I did not know what to do. The idea or rat

To assess a person’s ability of the English language, IELTS is one of the most important exams that are based on the four main sections: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Listed as modules, these sections determine your efficiency towards the language. The IELTS exam is conducted in more than 600 centers and is a popular exam. Many colleges and universities consider the IELTS Exam to register students. If you are wondering why IELTS is given so much importance, then being is an English s

Dear friends! As you all have some problems using participles, I decided to post this blog as I had promised. First, I will tell you some theory. In fact, you can read it in any grammar book, but I will try to make a long story short. So, let’s proceed!

The participle is a part of speech combining the features of a verb and an adjective/adverb. In English there is The Participle I and The Participle II. They fulfill different functions in a sentence.

The Participle I has the following forms:

I am the emptiness the blankness the wander
without you o the compass of my heart

I am the sleeplessness the nightmares the weariness 
If I can't embrace you at my night

I am the ignorance the nonsense the case of hopeless 
Oh, yes.. that's me without you in life

I am the drought the dearth the certain death,
If not irrigate your nectar to live

We are living in an era when the industrialization has had a huge impact on almost every aspect of our lives particularly food industry. Thanks to the pesticides and fertilizers, the quantity of available fruits, crops, and vegetables have increased. But how about the quality?

Any of us may have seen the fruits or veggies that have lost their normal shapes or even taste. Who will guarantee that humans cannot be vulnerable towards the adverse effects of chemical substances such as fertilizers and

Hello!!

I am planning on posting a new phrasal verb every few days. Each post will have a definition, a little example of how it is used and some questions to help you practise using it yourself.

Trying to communicate in a foreign language is not that easy. It can be cute, humiliating and sometimes it can be a disaster. But guess what? The technology always comes through. Thanks to a new translation device that could fit into your ear, the days of struggling to speak another language may be over. The Pilot will allow the user to understand one of several foreign languages via real-time in-ear translation. This app will let you speak the languages that you always wanted to learn but you w

My dear friends! My new task will be about English proverbs. The idea of the task is the following. I am posting five proverbs asking you to tell what they mean. Sure, I will help you as always. When you realize their meanings, I will ask you to use each of them in your writing. It may be any kind of writing: a dialogue, a monologue, a short story, whatever you like. If someone knows the meaning of the proverb for sure, he/she can start writing at once. Your texts shouldn’t be long for us to be

Regardless of how good your English is, when non-native speakers arrive in an English-speaking country they usually find the local accent difficult to understand. This can be frustrating and very disheartening. After years of study and practice to achieve greater skill in the language, you expect to be able to understand what is going on around you. You expect to be able to understand someone when you ask them a simple question. You expect to be able to have a conversation where you can keep up.

Hello again all members of EC, especially to all the beautiful ladies.

I'm sorry for not writing for so long. I hope by the end of this blog, you will understand and forgive me. In my not so short life, I've learnt the meaning of 'lif

Many of us have an artsy friend who thinks that she's the missing link between modern and classic art. You know, the one who sometimes eats lipstick to feel 'red' inside? Yup, her. It's her birthday and instead of going to a bar or a nice restaurant like a normal person; she wants to go to an art gallery. Typical. Do you have any problem recognizing different artists? Have you forgotten who's who and you don't wanna be humiliated in front of your semi-pretentious friend? Lemon squeezy! Here's a
