FOR THE VERY BEST OF THE BLOG WRITERS...

 FOR MY MALE CHAT PARTNERS...(Yes, "EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY".)

FOR MY FEMALE CHAT PARTNERS...(I'm only a man... Here's my "best guess")...

A few years ago, I traveled to England from Canada to do a special presentation about MyEC. I talked to hundreds of teachers about how I blog with English learners on EnglishClub. It was a fantastic experience, and many teachers vowed to get their students blogging when they returned to their own countries.

One thing that teachers were really excited about was a concept that we introduced long ago on MyEC: 

No Blog Left Behind

I explained that we (admin, mods, bloggers) do our very best to make sur

An American seventeen years old boy was mistakenly shot by a policeman in the USA and died. When the policeman visited the boy's house, the boy had a Wii remote control in his hand. The policeman mistook it for gun and shot him. It's a tragdy. When the policeman realized his mistake, he broke down crying. The boy had joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and his friends say " He was a good guy".
In 1992, a Japanese foreign student was shot to death by a man in the USA. This tragdy was also

During  our life , the winds blow towards us  endless  experiences  which  they  touch  us deeply.

 All  of us  have  experienced  the wind of disappointment ,despair, sorrow,but also the  one  of  happiness,hope and inspiration.

Why ,though  we all  start up  our life travelling by the same ship towards  a  destination , suddenly we realise that the winds have already changed  and each of us  reaches to different  places at the end of the journey.

Merits of a Joint Family

What is considered a family varies in different cultures. In most of the European societies the family is generally considered individualistic, that is parent and children. In Eastern culture family extend well beyond this. Here I intend to discuss the joint family system in Islamic Society as general and in Pakistani and Indian culture in particular.

In our society many joint families have been flourishing, but unfortunately the global economic uncertainty and instability

Are you enjoying the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics? I hope so. Are you satisfied with the performance of the athletes of your country? Do you think it's an opportunity for us to pick up some sports English words while enjoying the games? What's your favourite winter sport?

One more question: Do you think the countries should be ranked by all of their medals or only by the gold ones on the Olympic medal count/table?

Check out the Yahoo medal count and the BBC medal table, you'll find the difference.

My dear friends! Today I can't stand writing this blog! My city is on fire. Look at these pictures.

It's how it looked about 3 months ago

And what it looks like today

Kiev is my native city, it is unique as many other old European  cities. It is used to be called "Mother of all Russian towns" and that is true, because it gave the beginning to the first East Slavic State known as Kiev Russ. For you to know, it was Ukraine that gave birth to Russia without knowing that it was pregnancy with dreadful

Let me share with you my most favorite prayer (Dua) equally famous in India and Pakistan, written by Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, ( 1877 - 1938)  well known as Allama Iqbal. This prayer is chanted/ recited in assembly hall of primary and secondary schools every morning. Someone has nicely translated in English. 

Let's pray it together!

My longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine
O God! May like the candle be the life of min

May the world's darkness disappear through the life of mine!

What can and can’t they do?

 Every child who comes into this world is born in the religion of Nature irrelevant of the religion of his/her parent. But “Can” & “Can’t” “Do’s” & don’ts” chase him from the cradle to the grave. In his infancy he tries to understand the movement of his mother’s finger moving right and left showing “don’t” or “can’t”. For a child is inquisitive of any particular action of which he himself does not know about, but “don’t’” is there before him. When the child gets older

   "What a sunny and warm afternoon, in such a day,mind innately becomes soft, right?" It was Tintin's first thought after a short nap." But what I can do now, would it be a nice thing if I ring my best friend while she may be sleeping. The day was really hard for us, hard and tedious."

     " Is it true, if I place some sands into a snail and put it again in my  Grandpa's  pond, it will give me a pink or while little pearl!" " I have to find my younger brother to ask him." " But where is he righ

This is a story that involves an American sporting legend. Most of you that weren't born upon American soil have never heard of him. He wasn't an athlete in the traditional sense. He didn't become famous for his athletic efforts on a soccer field, baseball diamond, or American Football Field.

His name was Dale Earnhardt.

He grew up in the American Southeast. Kannapolis, North Carolina was his hometown.

His routes were forged through hard work, honesty, and a fantastic sense of humor. After a great

The twelve tenses used to differentiate the time of action (verbs) can be taught in an easier approach using the 'clock' method. While all separate quarters of the clock maintain the (3) present, past and future tenses, they can be subdivided into four groups (quarters); the (3) Simple tenses, (3) Continuous tenses, (3) Perfect tenses and (3) Perfect Continuous tenses.

We can then elaborate with examples of sentences for each tense and show students the clear difference between the twelve tenses
