In life, it's my belief that the very best learners of good humor and comedy have earned their expertise through hardship, pain, and suffering. The death of a loved one, failed relationships, struggles with learning, etc..If you can't, or haven't experienced these life situations and learned to laugh, this post isn't for you. Please,.. stop reading now!!!

The overwhelmingly vast majority of people that I joke with on this site simply make my day with a shared chuckle over this "Information Super

Dear MYEC friends, I'm so sorry to tell you that I'm not From Egypt. I'm from Damascus – Syria.  I'm not a cheater but somethings shameful happened with me that made me change my home country here in EC. First of all I wanna tell you that I can't bear acting like liars, I feel guilty when I see how all of you think that I'm Egyptian where I'm not. I didn't wanna disavow my home country, It's just a necessary reaction toward what happened to me, so read my story and understand

Sweety had a great post about some gifts she received in January. She challenged members to share a photo of a gift they had received recently. Sahar shared a beautiful post with a collection of gifts. This inspired me to collect a few gifts that my family received recently. I have a little story to tell you about each gift in this collection. Please use the comments to take a guess about one of the gifts you see. Guess who it was for, who it was from, or why it was important to me or my family

Hello everyone. 

One issue that makes people say they haven't improve their English is time. I know that we live in a world that seems to go faster. However, we have to find time for everything we need to do. If our goal is to learn English, we need to set a regular time for learning, practicing and revising. I had said this before: at least 20 minutes a day is better than nothing at all. Hence, let's see some alternatives that you can use for practicing your English.

These are my precious gift from my dear friends.

When I saw  sweety's blog, I liked that I have one blog about my gifts too.

Some of them are so precious like:

The place of perfume by my friends from Tehran (Capital of Iran).

Another one:

This lovely Ship from my friend in my city.

And also this nice and useful knife that I take it with myself everywhere:

And also this one made by my kind friend, a wooden heart that my name is carved inside it:

Thanks Sweety for your great idea!

After almost a year of being away from MyEC, I started missing it.  But now that I'm back, I feel lost and uncomfortable.  Strangely enough, even after couple of hours of wandering here and there, it seems like I still couldn't find my way around.  The site appears to have changed a lot.  And there's just so many unfamiliar names.  Most of my old friends seem to have disappeared from MyEC as well.

But just like the old days, I only wish to be of good help to other members again, especially the be

             When I was a young boy, I felt guilty if I was late for school. When I went into the school’s compund, I was deeply ashamed of my late. There was no one around me but just one man who opend the School’s gate. He didn’t say anything; no one was watching but I was hunted by feelings of guilt because I was late. I was lost in my thought how to explain to my teacher.

I've been a good standing member of English Club for about six months (I've never been banned). Joking around in our main chat room simply "makes my day". Through all of that funny humor, I've made many "true international friends"... Those special bonds that have been forged over time,trial,and error. What I'm about to write may offend some of you and I really don't care!!! It was composed and written with plenty of humor and combined with a darker comedic undertone.

hello friends i want your openion about,,,, how great is helen ??

It was a beautiful evening. I finished my project, finally. I did it all by myself. Now it was my time to enjoy. Initially, I decided to throw a party for myself only. But later I changed my mind and called a very close friend to come and join me. When she arrived at my apartment, we made coffee for ourselves. Afterwards, she said that she would cook a very tasty dinner for us herself. Meanwhile, I decided to watch the TV. As I sit sat on the sofa, my cat climbed the sofa and made itself comfort

A father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened

A Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by st ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set him free, exclaim

How were your holidays? Did you all enjoy yourselves? I enjoyed myself. My children enjoyed themselves too! They got a new karaoke machine for Christmas. My daughter always sings to herself in the shower, so my husband thought it would be a fun idea to buy her some microphones and a singing machine. Now he is kicking himself. I myself thought it was a good idea for a gift. I never thought about how loud it might be to have a karaoke machine in the basement. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

Have you ever studied a subject or brainstormed an idea, only to find yourself with pages of information, but no clear view of how it fitted together?

This is where Mind Mapping can help you.

A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information. It is often created around a single word or text that placed in the center. Then, associated ideas, words and concepts should be added. Major categories radiate from a central node, and lesser categories ar

I wish you a very Happy Birthday.

I posted this idea about ten minutes from now. It seemed that the network was slow. It was about that joke which was said to the animals of the jungle. They all laughed, only the donkey. It remained silent till the next year and then it laughed. Of course, it was laughing alone which made the other animals asking why! Then the answer came, it only understood that joke after one year. Is it true that the donkey is really stupid and does not understand?

Many people may agree that English is a relatively easy language. How about this English sentence: "I love you." ?  Don't you think it is easy to learn or understand? But English may not be that easy as it may seem to be. Even popular "small" words such as "in", "at", "on", or "the" can cause confusion - mistakes related to such small prepositions or articles are not uncommon, not to mention English idioms or phrasal verbs or collocations or the differences between British and American English.
