Today

I am not a diligent girl. Today i saw no email in my computer. Really bad condition. Now it is still a big problem for me to balance my mood by myself. It usually interupts my daily work and makes me feel low. Hope things could turn better for me. Susan, just be positive, do your best and no regret.

WHAT ARE YOU VALUES?

   The most important values to live by are:

appreciation,belief in others,caring for  others, commitment,compassion,dedication,effort,forgiveness, and friendship.

 When our actions  and words are alighted with our values life is generally good and we feel content ,confident an satisfied. But when our behaviour doesn't match with our values, we soon begin to sense an uneasiness that begins  to swell and grow inside us.

"May, may I have En. Hakim's phone number." She said to May. Finally, a few days later, Lina was brave enough to talk to Hakim. 

With a deep breath, Lina dialed the number. "Hello, may I speak to Hakim please." Lina realised her hands were clammy and she was gripping the phone very hard. 

"Hello! Lina is that you?" She could hear the smi

Lina was a nervous wreck while sitting at the corner of the restaurant. She was too early and had a lot on her mind. She could not keep still so she decided to browse through her phone to hide it.

"Hey Lina. I am sorry for being late." Lina nearly dropped her phone. 

"Ohhhhhhhh .... hey. That is okay. I know I

Hello, friends! 

A bunch of you are well aware of the ‘Pronunciation Study Sessions’ conducted jointly by Galina and I right here on MyEC last year! The virtual class had, regrettably, ended abruptly and you haven’t got the slightest clue till this very moment! I’m sorry for keeping you, our enthusiastic learners of speech sounds, in the dark! Believe it or not, I was having problem back then saving any newly created blogs as ‘Drafts’. Usually, for your info, each blog of a study session would ta

   Hi English clubbers, this week I decided to bring to my blog post something about IQ, and therefore I thought to answer: If we had double IQ , how would it be this experience? Based on some readings I did on the Web I'll adress this issue. So, let's start again! ;)

  Imagine If everybody had double IQ how would it be the behaviour that population of geniuses on the Earth?

1st: Individual benefits

  With more intelligence, we'd have more ability to learn fast and remember anything too. Thus, It c

Blog by Phone Challenge

I just wrote this blog post on my phone. Now I am posting it to see if it can be done.I will be honest, I didn't use the mobile version of MyEC. I switched to the desktop view. Then added a blog the same as I do on the computer. Can you do this too?Better yet, can you beat my blog by writing one completely in the mobile version?That is my challenge to you.Show us that you can blog from anywhere.If you can, try to do it without using the desktop view.If you succeed you must teach us how. :)

My favorite poem 1

 

Weather Forecast

Harold Pinter [March 2003]


The day will get off to a cloudy start.
It will be quite chilly
But as the day progresses
The sun will come out
And the afternoon will be dry and warm.

In the evening the moon will shine
And be quite bright.
There will be, it has to be said,
A brisk wind
But it will die out by midnight.
Nothing further will happen.

This is the last forecast.

Hello, friends!

Recently one of our EC  members,. Prostomolotova Galina, .posted a blog "Some practical steps to acquire good pronunciation".  In her  blog she  tells  how one  could  use the TTS (Text-To-Speech,)  option on 'AudioPal' to perfect his English speech. I'm glad to see that some of our EC members have heeded  her advice,  especially those in the EC Phonemes and Pronunciation  class,  and  reaping  their rewards.  Do  you  want  to be one of them? Well!  Le

"Cik Lina, a phone call for you." May's voice through the intercom interrupted Lina's musing.  

"Who is it May?" Lina had told her Secretary to hold all calls unless they were urgent. She was in no mood to talk to anyone today. Scenes of her meeting with Sarah had been playing in her mind. Sarah and Hakim's faces had been intermingled in her dreams last night. Her

If A Tree Falls In The Forest...

There's a basic philosophical question that the English language has often pondered upon at times. Perhaps it's been translated to many of your own languages. "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?".

I though it'd be a fun and lighthearted subject to put a comedic twist on (Just in time for the weekend).

Of course you can always Google the question. There's even one site that answers it with comedy. Most of the comments are rather dry and obscur

"Hakim had came back." Lina nearly spurted her ice tea when Mom said that out of the blue. Both of them were enjoying an afternoon tea and just talking about general matters and trying to catch up on news. 

With an extra care she put the glass back on the table. "Hmm... when?" Lina tried to sound nonchalant. 

"A few months back, with his two kids. Apparently his wife had died. So he decided t

Not long ago, I attended an office meeting that consisted of mainly male associates. There was a younger partner who had the floor and was speaking from a place where the sun doesn't shine (anatomically speaking). About half way through his presentation, I woke up and saw the mood his words were creating around the room. Believe me, it wasn't a pretty sight. Usually, I sleep during these boring quarterly meetings. God knows what inspired this native speaker to stand up and utter the words that c

Rin Tin Tin - My English Hero

A little note from me. Someone pointed out to me that it was not supposed to be Rin Tin Tin - for the comic. It was supposed to be called Tin Tin. Forgive me if I gave the wrong impression. I was talking about the Belgian Comic Book. Some people may call it Tin Tin. But for me, it was always Rin Tin Tin. Anyway, whether it was Tin Tin or Rin Tin Tin, I will be forever grateful for my English Hero.

I love reading. As far as I could remember, I would always have a book, magazine or even a comic in
