Thanks.. 

This is my potret.

Life Lessons From A Joke

I want to share with you a joke which was sent to me by a friend. It was in my own language, so I had to translate it as it deemed fit. Thus, I am sorry if my translation is a bit weird. And I am sorry if this joke belongs to somebody. I don't mean to plagiarize!

One day, there was a bank robbery somewhere in the Capital City. The robbers shouted "Everyone! Lie down on the floor!. The money belongs to the bank but your life belongs to you!" Everyone did as instructed without much ado.

This is what

Nothing has come so far within the reach of my writing.

I have to write the pains I feel.

I have to write the dreams living in my eyes.

I have to write about the tears not yet dropped.

Nothing has come so far within the reach of my writing.

I have to write about the journey I have to take.

I have to show you the desert of my thirst.

I have to write yet the nights I have passed separated.

Yet I have to tell you how much I cried but kept the hope.

Nothing has come so far within the reach of my writing.

An Old Tale

I read this story in a newspaper and decoded to share. And I recorded my reading it. So you can read and listen to the story.https://audioboo.fm/boos/2191892-an-old-tale

It happened in old times when parents chose marriage partners for their children without even asking for their agreement. Divorces were not allowed either.

There lived a nice girl in one village. She was good-looking, hard-working and sweet-tempered. But – oh, bad luck for her! – she came from a poor family.

Love doesn’t differ bet

Love Your Parents

This blog is dedicated to my friend & my sister whose parents had passed away a few years ago.

" It has been so long, a decade and a half. I'd say your memories are fresh in my mind, But they are not, they've started to fade as time goes by. I have forgotten the feel of the word "mom" on my tongue and my lips. I cannot say it anymore. It kills me to say this word!
I cannot recall your face, or the way you used to talk, whenever I think about you I have to recreate the images and the sound of your

I was warned that somebody posed as me (Expector) in the chat room a few days ago. That's so annoying and intolerable. I wonder why they did that - they may have found it's fun to pretend to be someone, or they did it on purpose - just to cause trouble.  I've noticed that so many members complained about the situation in the chat room. Some members even left MyEC since they find some trolls' (or bad apples' or bad guys' or whatever you call them) misbehavior in the chat room is so unbearable. So

Can you surprise me? Idioms

I guess I am going to let the cat out of the bag, for some of you night owls who spend most of your English Club time chatting and reading your friend's blogs.  But, English Club has much, much more than My English Club (our social media side).

If you have paid attention in the past, you may have noticed some of the helpful resources.  

Today I am reminding you about our sections on idioms.  

I am just scratching the surface of the offerings that are available. The idioms at this link are about ani

Using Contractions Properly

Many students are confused on how to properly use contractions in speech.  This is one of the most common errors that I see in my students, so I will explain how this should be done and give some examples of pronunciation. 

But first, let us remember that a contraction is a short form of a phrase in English and is most commonly used in informal speech and writing.  The phrase is shortened (contracted) by removing one or more letters, inserting an apostrophe in their place and making the phrase in

You probably learned the question words in English classes. They are sometimes called called the "Wh" words, to help students remember them.

Who,   what,   when,  where,  why and how are often called question words and most of them begin with the letters "wh".

Which of these words is your favorite and why?

Can you think of any other words that are usually found in questions?

I tell my students to look at the question word before they choose an answer on a test. If the question asks "when" they shoul

I didn't write this but absolutely love what this woman wrote. I just wish I knew who the original author was, so that the appropriate credit can goes to her.

It was shared in my Facebook wall, and I thought it depicted the absolute truth faced by women nowadays. To confine to what the media portrayed as an ideal woman. We, women, constantly need to uphold to certain image, which in reality ridiculous to achieve. I have to admit, sometimes I do longed for certain things when looking at those imag

TOUCH OF FINGER

Touch of finger

 

Once a Saint came across with Satan (Devil) and argued with him, “why you do all the bad deeds and cause violence amongst the mankind?”   “Me! No sir,” replied the Satan politely,  “I never do any such thing, I just have got the bad name for all the bad deeds happening in the world.  They are not caused by me.”

 “No, it’s you who is responsible of all the sins the mankind commit!” Retorted the Saint!

 “No, Sir,” the Satan repeated quite humbly, “I do not ask anyone to do anything w

Internet Marriage

I do not know how to begin this. It is a story about a fifty five year old man falling in love with a woman who is twenty years younger than him. First, I am wondering if that is possible or not! However, the experience is somehow strange and a bit complicated. It started on the internet. The internet and what will make you know the internet! They say it is a double edged weapon. It can cut both ways. Of course, you know what I am trying to say.

They were a teacher and a student. Suddenly it beca
