Birthday Present For a Girlfriend

It was Sunday and I was planning to visit somewhere. Suddenly, my phone rang, it was one of my friends whom I met in English Park last Sunday. He asked me if I was free and if I could go shopping. Yes! I answered him, as I myself was planning to visit somewhere. I asked him what he had to buy and which market he planned to go to. Birthday gift for my girlfriend, he said. He was new in this city, so he didn't know any market himself. I told him to meet me near "Th

As a somewhat, controversial, yet, good standing member of English Club, I always do my very best to help out all of our members. I'm a native speaker who carries a great deal of responsibility when logging into this site while joking around with the more humorous members.

The topic and subject that I'm about to relate to is somewhat of a "touchy issue" and the story is a bit symbolic in it's nature. Please don't take offense. The entire story is written with the best of intentions. It's a real l

Sky Burial in Tibet

Tibetans practice several different forms of funeral: sky burial (or celestial burial), water funeral, cremation, interment and stupa burial. Which one is chosen depends on the wealth and social status of the deceased.

Sky burial is to feed vultures with the body of the dead. After vultures finish eating the body and fly into the sky, Tibetans think that the dead will go to the heaven. It is the usual means adopted to dispose of the corpses of commoners, and is not considered s

My sudden visit to my parents home

Today, I am in my parents home, sleeping there with my kids since yesterday.I free myself to express my feelings during this sudden visit. when my pregnant sister herself called me yesterday to invite and encourage me to leave my home for two days to join her in her visit to my parents home, I felt happy. The idea itself is good to act with no doubt. Because, I will go there to be with her in last days of her pregnancy. My kids enjoy themselves with their cous

Hello everyone. 

Today I wake up in a sad and blue mood. I don't know why I am down; so I decided to reflect on that.

We are in a world that have created for us needs and dreams. Sometimes, those dream and needs are real but most of the cases, they are just: created. Who says that you need a cellphone with lots of app, who told you that if you are no success you are not gonna be happy. Who considers that happiness may be just found on material think. Sometimes, I say to myself. The inner part of a

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

My Real Nationality:

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.

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
