Are you new to a country that celebrates Halloween? Here are some questions you may have. 

When is Halloween?
October 31st. 

What is going to happen on Halloween night in my neighbourhood?
When it gets dark outside, kids will dress up in costumes and knock on doors. They will ask for candy. If you don't want to hand out candy, turn your lights off on Halloween night. Don't answer the door.

How much candy do I need? 
It depends on your neighbourhood. Ask your neighbours how many kids they usually ge

 

Hi, there!

Today is an exceptional day for the founder of My.EnglishClub.Com, the Administrator and all the Members of the club as MyEC crossed the 100,000 Members Milestone. I think it’s an honour and privilege for us to congratulate MyEC on this special occasion!

How lucky we are to have MyEC, a site that is dedicated to promoting lifelong learning – mastering English in particular! As we all know, it espouses the notion of equal opportunity for all in the language. The interesting th

Dear Friends,

We, Indians have National Pledge and it is an oath of allegiance to the Republic of India. It is commonly recited by Indians in unison at public events, especially in schools, and during the Independence Day and Republic Day Celebrations.  It is commonly found printed in the opening pages of school textbooks. 

This is our National Pledge:

India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters.

I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.

I shall always stri

The Cafe

Retiring from the toiling day’s work I used to go to Café Grand. It is on Abdullah Haroon Road. If you go straight through Zaibunnisa Street in Saddar, you will find Café Grand just opposite to the back entrance of Hotel Metropole. From inside this restaurant is two storey, but second floor is sort of a gallery. The atmosphere of the Grand is one of the attractions for me to count it as the best. There was always been darkness in the café even in the day time. The lightning was so beauti

Writing Prompt ~ So and Such

Such a nice day

  It was such an incredible travel, the last week journey to Australia! There, I could see nearly the most known australian symbols:  the kangaroos. They were confined in  such a large area inside the Sydney's zoo where they had complete acess to several of the best types of green leaves and vegetables.  I confess, at first, I  faced kangaroos like such  angry creatures that I'd  dare to come near them in no way!    But, I  could prove in reality they a

He was burned and melted away meanwhile she talked happily about her friend .Then asked him “ Do you know him ?He is my strength when I am weak and I am his strength when he is weak .He is a very handsome . He is so nice one . He is the light of my way ….. “

The silence prevailed between them on mobile .
Then He said”I wish if I could be your eyes to make you see only me ,
I wish if I could be your arms to make you hug only me, I wish if I could be your mind to make you think of only me, I wish

PUN. (noun) "the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning; a play on words".

So yes, today is about puns and some of the illustrated puns by Gemma Correll. I think this illustrator is really funny.

MyEC has almost 100,000^th members and 195 Star Members.

Yesterday I was on Star Member’s page; I asked myself, what am I doing here? Complete silence, again I asked myself, again pin drop silence! Then I supposed everything happen for a reason, for finding this reason, I had checked all pages, nothing found anything strange. Suddenly, Oh My God! How is it possible?

Could you believe this!  Who is short in 195 member list?

 Let me explain you, she is brave, shy and wonderful lady; you hear her giggl

Dear Friends! i am writing first time over here on the request of my best friend :-

"He wanted me to burn in hell,

He wanted me to be among those who fell,

He wished to lead me astray,

From my Lords mercy he tried to keep me away.

Was he my friend or enemy?

It was because of him I was deprived,

He had deceived so many,

He kept coming at me until I died,

I still didn’t realize amidst all the agony,

Was he my friend or enemy?

He whispered evil to me every day & every night,

He defeated me without me even p

Here's another verse about EC. Welcome, critics...

All you need is to load a pic;

Type your name, or much better a nick;

Don't forget to state you're a "he" or a "she",

And you're welcome to the wonderful world of EC !

This world is discussing all possible matter.

Take your chance of becoming a chatter -

Answering, questioning, guessing and mumbling,

Kidding, complaining, explaining and stumbling.

Never mind if your English is lame:

Most people are talking the same.

Come, don't be shy, let your fingers be

Noaslpls (Noas, Noa, pls).....

Listen To News: Polio Outbreak Feared in Syria - 22 October 2013

Discussion Question: A director from WHO referred to the "duck test" in a response about this possible outbreak. Why would he use this expression, and what do you think he meant by it? (The duck test expression goes as follows: "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.")

  I suppose this director has intended to say  the polio case in Syria is a real situation, proven fact, only

I am not the First to blog on her,  as Mickey had already done it......,but I feel I should, as she deserves for more Blogs.....

Pics with a Story

There was once a site named EC                                                    

That worked under the rules of democracy.

Kings, students and teachers,

And lots of weird creatures

all chatting in one parlour you could see.
