Hello everyone who is reading this! 

I know my English is not perfect but I think it's good enough to help others :) 

I use Skype and spend lot of time on Facebook. 

I have two wonderful daughters, so a lot of my time goes for them. Soon they will start school and I will have more free time. That means I will have to find what to do! 

I like to communicate with people, making new friends. I'm glad I found this place.

Writing Challenge: Live from the Penguin Cam

We all have some dreams when we sleep.

But have you ever thought that we can have these dreams when we are awake too?

Imagine that these events which you see, when you are awake, are just like those dreams.

Then how would you describe them for others?

For example, let me describe mine.

I saw these things:

1-I opened EC to add a blog.

2-The words were arranged one after another.

3-EC chat room was in the corner.

4-I wrote "Hello" and sent it.

5-It didn't work again…

6-Desire and disappointment

"English Help" is a section in MYEC Forum that members can ask their grammatical problems
