If you would be isolated in an island with 3 EC members, Who would these 3 members be? Why them?

My answer:

The first one would be Mr. Josef. As we know, he is a VIP, the founder of EC, the most famous website for learners of English, so when he is absent in his work, English learners from all over the world try their best to find him, soon they learn that he isn't in any country and must be in an island, after they find him, I can be rescued from that island, too. :D

The second person would be Set

I like it… and I’m going to do it… someday...

Once upon a time, i hated mistakes.Mistakes were the one of my curse which led me to failure as a very careless boy. Mistakes invaded me followed by failure.which made me a clumsy boy who only wished to sleep on the couch and watch TV. I am very happy that i made those mistakes and failure. That time i made more mistakes than an adolescent could have. After some while i learned from those mistakes. Which was one of my greatest blessing. That blessing with those mistakes showered me with values.

Hear the instructions of thy Farther,

and forsake not the law of thy mother.

For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head,

and chains about thy neck.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

but he who hates reproof is stupid.

A soft answer turns away wrath,

but a harsh word stirs up anger.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,

but the mouths of fools pour out folly.

A scoffer does not like to be reproved;

he will not go to the wise.

The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,

but t

I think this is the good chance for me to accept The Writing Challenge from Lady Anne.

Chapter one : Morning Sleep 

When people are busy chasing their dreams, I am busy escaping mine. Take it literally, please. It is a common thing to have a dream while sleeping, the uncommon one is getting trapped in it.

It was a morning in Ramadhan, I decided to get back sleep after pray fajr. I turned off all the lamp except the dim one near the door, the light was dark yellow, a bit like orange, but darker. Officially, my room had no door, just a rectangle hole with a curtain over it.

I was tota

Woman must not to be a single. It will be embarrassing for a family when she gets the age of marriage (let say around 30) but stay single. She'll probably consider as a black-sheep of family. Parents will be pleased to let her daughter marry a bad guy rather than being single and pursue her carrier. Nowadays, in 2016 that thing is real happened in my hometown. That's really dumb I think.

There are lots of judgments for the woman. Trust me, that's really subjective judgmental opinions of people ab

What do you think is the best section on EC that has made your English learning improved? Why?

My answer:

One day I was surfing the net to find a place which I can chat with people in English. The idea of talking to people all around the word with my broken English fascinated me a lot that all I wanted was to speak. Then I came across this site; first I was not familiar with here and since I just liked to speak I went to the chat room and my journey here began. To be honest mostly women were not i

Books are our best friends. We never tend to know that. Books never leaves us behind instead gives loads of information without being selfish . They stays with us till We die. So lets make Books our best friend and  keep learning till we die!!!!!! :)

Q. What is the biggest risk you’ve taken in your life? Why?

 Ans.

A Carefree Me:

I was jobless and looking for a job, but because I was not married at that time and earning money from private teaching (tuitions), there was no pressure on me and I was carefree, but after all I would have to have a regular job, which is very important to have for a member of middle class like me. 

Seeing me free my sister offered me to accompany her to a trip to hill station with her kids in summer vacation.   I very

Do you agree?

Good day to all!

Question: What do you think is the greatest problem that EC is facing today? Explain

I take this question as a serious question, so I will give a serious answer. I hope Sir Josef and moderators will pay attention to this.

Answer: To think about the greatest problem on EC, I only concern the blog section. A blog should have been organized as paragraphs. If there was a photo or video, it should be only for further information. Recently, there are members who ONLY post photos and videos on blog. Once

And I’m here again…

Look at them… trying so hard… they seem so powerless… so do I…

I wish I could touch these lights… especially the yellow one… well I actually don’t know if it’s yellow or orange…

It’s like I’m floating in the most peculiar way…

And the stars look very different today…

And all I want to know is why? Does any of it matter?

Every time I have this feeling it’s just like the first time… strange… true… and good… Here I feel better… up on this tower… with my old friend, cigarette… everythi
