Did you know that here and there are sometimes confusing to English learners? These words are selected based on distance from the person speaking. Did you ever get confused by here and there?

This, that, these and those are also confusing words which are based on distance and number, so I will quickly explain the differences between them.

If something is close it is here. If we can touch a book, we would say it is here.

If it is not so close it is there.  If a book is across the room we would say i

When I was a child our house was near a big park. There were tall trees in the park and I could see them easily, most of the time I went to the park and play with my friends. One day, I saw two birds that I don’t know what were called. They were like Dove but a little smaller. They made a nest on top of the tree near our house. I watched them every day and I enjoyed. Soon there were two eggs into the nest and I waited to hatch. But suddenly a crow came and ate them. The birds changed the place o

Hello all EC members,

I am coming here with one idea. Let me ask you if you would find interesting the competition called MISS and MISTER of the EC.

What it should be about?

1. NO BEAUTY, NO AGE LIMITATIONS. Since it is  easy to misuse some pictures from the internet, let´s put the beauty aside, moreover as we all know - beauty is something temporary.

2. The main point of this competition will be to find the most beautiful girl and boy with awesome CHARACTER. I am talking about the INNER BEAUTY.

3. The appl

CRYSTAL HEART

How strange the human psychology is! When we love, we yearn to possess whom we love, but when we find it beyond our power to get her/him for our own, and then our imagination gets activated and creates a world of our own desires where we do what we wish to do. When we wish to see our lover, she is there before our eyes, we make her laugh, and we make her cry. Our own longing makes her long for us as if she is not united with us, she will die. So as it happened to me. I am the dwelle

I have been overlooking something like this for last few weeks but lately I think I can´t stay quiet anymore. Call me old-fashioned, weird or just freaky but let me explain the situation.

Lately in the chatroom I came across many times the situation that people feel tired or bored of saying HI to all the members. To me this is something very abusive and I can say I find it arrogant.
When we enter the room, no matter what room it is – doctor, company,school etc. guess we all greet other people we a

In my opinion, introducing new techniques and approaches to language learning seem to be relevant these days.  This is why we, language teachers have to understand the implication of learners’ development to the need for lifelong language education. Therefore, communication skills should be worked on continuously.

 Firstly, teachers should introduce the new possibilities and reflect on engaging students in lifelong language learning. Secondly, teachers should look into the role of a coach/mentor

Dear All members of EC and friends of Noor,

I am deeply shocked to learn the sad demise of NOOR one of our beloved EC members and express my profound grief and heartfelt condolences to all her friends on EC and other members of her family.  With her death we have lost a good friend.

Cruelty

Soldiers, shooting game; children falling dead.

Long time ago I came across with a news, in an occupied land some soldiers of the enemy started a shooting game, and targeted the children playing nearby, in the streets, on the roofs........they were falling dead.

Have you ever met a person with a smiling face? The one who seemingly keeps smiling all the time even when he does not mean to, or when he is actually not in his best. How do you feel being close to such buddy? Feeling comfortable, right? Just fine with who you are without worrying to be an unintended one. He welcomes you, not demand you to become someone else who he would favour. And you would automatically do the same thing, being his good fellow who would not dare to hurt him.

                THE PRETENDERS

Beyond the fake words we hide our feelings,

we feel stronger but our behaviour has no meaning.

Pretending we are superiour and unbeatable,

shaking inside with the frear, feeling miserable.

We wear the phlegmatic cold mask on our face,

to protect ourselves from the big disgrace.

It isn´t trendy to show the emotions and the fear,

so bye bye sincere people - you all should disappear.

"When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
(...)
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better fo

• A crime story

I can hear somewhere very far away from me alarm clock but I am so tired to turn it off. Suddenly, I realized it all and I am totally lost. The mornigns are always the worst for me. To accept the reality. Just… why me? Why I got so deep? I feel like soon I will reach the bottom, bottom of my empty soul, which is trying to fight, using the last energy. But how much is left? Few seconds, minutes, days? Hard to guess because the feeling, unbearable feeling I feel on my chest is like a huge stone wh

One Japanese event in April is  the Hanami. Japanese people eat and drink under the cherry blossoms. We call this Hanami.
One Japanese event in May is the Flying Carp. Flying carps  are decorated in the bigining of May and they symbolize the hope for social success and health of young boys because a folk story said that  carps  could only go up a certain fall and so that they could become dragons.

People usually ask: Which do you prefer? The sea or the mountains? As for me – definitely the mountains. I am not a fan of „frying“ my body on the beach because to me it is boring. I prefer something more active, for example hiking. Since early childhood I spent my holidays in the mountains with my parents and I would say it influenced me a lot. I tend to the nature, I just love to escape from the rush of the city.

The mountains can give you a lot but sometimes they might be even unpredictable. T
