ESL Blogs

I live in a rural area of Northern California. In my opinion, it's one of the most beautiful and majestic places on the planet. My property closely borders this large lake. https://www.google.com/search?q=folsom+lake+images&hl=en&newwindow=1&rlz=1C2GGGE_enUS468US468&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=pCIlUebnNIzuigKX4oDYBg&ved=0CDMQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=667 

The town is located about thirty miles east of Sacramento. Sightings of wild deer, turkeys, and coyotes, are not uncommon. There are many other w

Forgive me if this blog seems too long. (Well I know it is a bit long, I can't help it).

In the loving memory of Kiwi_John, the late ESL Admin.

People always asked me how do I came to know about this si

The Fact

      There was a joke about the sun. It was said that two persons were arguing about the sun. The first said, "This is the sun." The second said, "No, this is not the sun." Suddenly a  man appeared and they asked him whether that yellow ball above was the sun or not. His answer was, " I am not from this country." If the truth, the fact are in front of you, surrender.

It seems that I cannot stop writing at the moment. I guess I was bitten by the writing bug. I just want to keep on writing and so afraid that one of these days the so called "writer's block" will hit my head hard, and I cannot even write a simple sentence.

However, I am not good in what people call "creative writing". There are a few ideas running through my mind, but I cannot seem be able to put a few coherent sentences. So, I decided for the moment, I will write my experiences such as my workin

Some of you are now aware that we are no longer allowed to post useful links in the main page.  This is becasue a few have been posting malicious links.  This has allowed the perpetrators to win and the majority have lost out on having this useful feature.  As you are aware I can often post a link to any questions regarding english or post a link to start a topic for discussion.

There are too many friends however good friends are hard to find. Diamonds are scarce however good friends are scarcer. Diamonds can be purchased by money but good friends can’t be. Those are lucky who have good friends, and those are rather luckier who know the value of good friends earlier before it become too late. In times of prosperity friends are plenty; in times of adversity not one in twenty. The real friend is the one who comes in when the world goes out. Your just one word can save a l

I want to share a quick tip about tagging! A tag is a keyword. You can add tags to the blogs, photos, and videos you post on MyEC. This makes it easier for members to search for specific content. It also helps English learners learn new words! Use a space after each tag. 

If you want to use a phrase or expression with more than one word in your tag, you have to add quotation marks around the words. For example: "Why did the pope quit?". If you don't use quotations, the tag will look like this whe

I have been meaning to write something in here, but too many words and too many topics been flitting through my minds that I do not know where to start. Someone said to me to focus and start something. So here goes my first real attempt in writing. This blog is dedicated to my EC friends that aspired me to take this step.

 Let's read this story :

        Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings.

You remember Leonard Skinner?

He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.

All the counselors hate the waiters

And the lake has alligators.

And the head-coach wants no sissies,

So he reads to us from something called Ulysses

Now I don’t want this should scare ya,
