"It's like an iPad, only thicker. It entertains you for hours. It's like Individual screens with words on it. It's like a movie you get to direct in your own head."
- Jon Stewart
Ah, that poor guy! He was desperately trying to explain to the young people why books are awesome. It made me sad that he had to compare a book with an iPad. I'm not against technology, heck I have my fair share of these "modern prisons
Hello dear friends, how are you doing ? Hope you all are doing well. Before reading the blog, I must mention some points :
Dear friend,
I'm writing this because I think you listen and understand and we have a same tact in music and movies; and please do me a favor; I don't want you to judge about me based on my past 'cause I think I'm not sensitive, shy, taciturn and sad as much as I used to be... and I promise I won't be judgmental too; not even about you but also about everybody else...
I just can't figure out that how all these happened together... I'm talking about 3 years ago when I was mentally normal(after bein
My nephew is a handful. Whenever he leaves me, it looks like a hurricane hit my apartment. Anyway, he is a real ball of fire and a very curious kid. He asks a lot of questions and always demands immediate answers. Yesterday, he wasn't that Curious George though. When I asked his mother what's wrong she told me: "He wants a puppy." Then she looked directly at him and said: "Not gonna happen buddy. And that's final!"
Me: 'Why?'
Her: ' 'cause he's four. That's a huge responsibility. What is wrong wit
Accents (in English)
By Dayne Collins
Writing this article is a calculated risk, I may become unpopular in the EC universe, lose a few readers, and receive some disapproving comments. I am aware that a lot of learners who read my content are borderline obsessed with mastering a particular accent. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to discourage anyone from achieving their desired accent, I just want to share my opinion on accent acquisition in ESL English education.
Perhaps your native language is a
My dear friends! I'd like to wish each of you and all of you to experience happiness of love and despair of being left alone, joy of being together and grief of losing what and whom you love, I wish you to burst in laughter and tears, to feel inspiration and disappointment, to learn from the mistakes of others and to make your own. I wish you to enjoy your lives, to stumble and to fall down but always to be able to rise. Otherwords, I wish you all to feel the storm of all emotions a human being
A misty morning
My autumnal heart sings
The sound of silence ~

This music inspired me to write a haiku poetry, just simple words :-)

Art is something which we create or do. Everything in this life like drawing, painting, machines, etc are the work of art. Most of the people think artist are somebody professional in sketching, painting and all, but through my opinion EVERYBODY IS AN ARTIST ! but the people just lack patience as ARTIST NEEDS PATIENTS!. so do what you want as you are an artist! (*_^).
Love, love, love! I can feel you everywhere I go - in the movies, in the songs, in the novels, in the paintings, in the poems... You inspire us, you make us creative, you somehow unintentionally force us to share, what we feel because at times, we just want to scream to the whole world, we found you and we are the happiest person on the Earth.
Both genders percieve you differently. The women tend to be more sensitive and talkative, they prefer sharing meanwhile some tough men might consider talki
Today's the day, and love is in the air!(Is it now?) Thousands of bouquets (roses of course, Duh!) will be bought and florists are going to do their best not to snap at picky costumers. A great deal of chocolate will be consumed today and a lot of gym instructors will be soooo busy tomorrow. (The abundance of cliché in this paragraph is literally killing me!).
Or better yet, maybe you are sick and tired of clichés. Maybe you prefer to stay at home, wear your lazy pants, pop up a HUGE bowl of popc
Sometimes we get used to something that we just take it for granted like health, family, friends etc.
Then we will start saying that I shouldn’t have done that, I should have behaved more wisely or I should have been more careful. In all of these sentences actually we wish that we had another opportunity to behave differently.
For instance health; have you ever been so sick that you cannot even stand up? After few days staying in bed you wish to be strong and healthy again. At that very moment you
Since I was a little kid, (now I'm 22) I've been a big fan of metal and rock music scene, when I heard that Iron Maiden was touring worldwide , I wished that they would come to my country and then... They have set a date for one of their gigs in my country, I was spechless, astonished and amazed, I could use tons of words in order to describe how I felt, maybe some people won't understand but imagine this: everyone has a hero, someone that we admire and we would love to see and meet and when the
Hey EC,
It's been a while, hasn't it? Many of you are probably thinking, "who the flip is this guy?" That's fair enough too. Sadly, the last time I logged in here was probably in 2014 and a lot has happened since then. I've been working really hard, keeping very busy, and taking on more and more projects. I've even moved to a new home. One that's very close to my office, and I love it here.
Speaking of home, logging in yesterday for the first time in a long time felt like a bittersweet homecoming.
Why I love English? I love English because it helps me talk to Americans and it's the world original language, you can translate English to many languages. many people knows how to speak English because it is commonly used worldwide. English have different types like noun, pronoun, common noun, proper noun and etc. all of these can be learn from school. English has also accents, depends on your country you lived. Accent is the tone of your voice. British accent is different compared to English A

There has never been a time when people could communicate and express themselves as instantly and as much as they can now. It's hard to believe, but there was a time when communicating meant we had to WRITE LETTERS!
I've always liked writing. I like the feeling of having a nice pen in my hand. It feels like I'm creating something when I put pen to paper, even if it is just a doodle of a flower or a note that says, "If you ever park in my spot again, I will have your ass towed." It
