Some people assume that English teachers are wonderful spellers. This is not true! In fact, many of us have to review spelling rules regularly. We also have to review other aspects of the language before we teach a lesson. One thing I have trouble remembering is compound nouns. I often find myself looking up words just to be sure they are one word rather than two. Sometimes these words end up being hyphenated. I've noticed on MyEC that many other people have the same problem. This month, let's p

the words as instructed by Alex.
Second, play the video again but this time look at the transcript w

Hi friends,

The writing I am proceeding now is an outcome of my growing confidence that, I have gained by chatting here with other members of EC.

But,

To all of you on this sight, please know that I have the deepest and most profound respect for all of you and the political or religious situations that may be happening in your own neck of the woods (country). I am an American pain in the (you know what) at times. Humor and sarcasm from different countries (and my own)makes my day. At times, I show up in public chat and make a funny or "not so funny" comment and can't respond to everyone. For that, I'm truly sorry. These fingers just can't type
I hate this word " I " but some times I love to say it , when I am talking about my negatives I am feeling that the time to use it properly .
avoiding vanity '' we '' is the word to be used instead .
we are as plants , If we will be a lone in desert then our feeling that we are the only living things in the life but if we are in the garden then we will never talk about ourselves as all around is living things .

My dear friend Heaven asked a question on MYEC Forum about how we can have a topic for a chat. I realized this is asked by some other members as well. Hence, I thought it would be good if I tell you that there is a group called, MyEC Topic Chat, specifically designed for having a topic while chatting. You can go into that group and read "How to Promote MY Chat" along with other pages.
I hope you all enjoy your chat.
Have Fun,

Hello, everybody!
I know that a lot of members here on EC would like to improve their spoken English. The most determined learners are already doing it right now on Rajesh’s Virtual Classroom. They follow Gabriel Sowrian’s Study Sessions devoted to pronunciation. They learn everything about English sounds: how to read phonemes, how to read transcription, how to pronounce sounds. Study Sessions are organized in a logical way: the sound, the word, the sentence, the short paragraph, tongue-twisters

Lately I have asked myself a question.. Is it worth to spend time with someone who keeps make You sad and not willing to change anything about it!? Who say that they love you but it remains only in words, no actions. Someone who have serious issues with drinking but they never want to admit their issue. There is nothing but excuses...
If You give them not just a chance but three, four and even five chances to change their life, hoping that they really will change. You put all Your trust in them

It's almost time for "Back-to-School" in many countries, including Canada. Many students are asked to write essays or paragraphs about their summer vacation. Here is an idea that is more interactive! It's a great way for students to get to know their teachers better. Create a Word Cloud (or have your students create one using something like Wordle that they can use to get to know each other better) with words that remind you of your summer vacation. Then have the students guess what the words mi
