I had a terrible manager few years back. However, I learned so many things from him that I really thank him.

He taught me:

1-Don't use your power:

If you have so much power, it does not mean that you have to use it against people. For example, if you  have power not to pay someone's salary, do not use that power. Instead, try to be humble and treat everybody with respect and dignity.

Thank you  to those  for  whose  condolences on my beloved  husbands   death.

I have  enjoyed  my time here  at  EC .  I have  to take  some  leave  now  and  concentrate  on  my waiting  period  through prayers   and  patience on behalf  of my beloved  husband  

Thus I will not  visit  FB  or  EC  through out  my waiting  period of four months  and  ten days 

Peace  and  Blessings

I'm not the only English language teacher who likes to challenge people! Many English language teachers are bloggers. They challenge each other to blog about different things. Today I read a challenge by a teacher named Adam Simpson. I added it (and revised it slightly for MyEC purposes) to the Challenge Group. Please check out the instructions for the challenge before you read my post.

After listening to many new English speakers, I have become familiar with some of the common issues that new speakers have difficulty with. One of these is the pronunciation of "-ed" endings, such as in past tense verbs. Most new speakers pronounce ALL "-ed" endings as two separate syllables, which is not always correct.

I have also been experimenting with Voicethread (http://voicethread.com  no www ) as a method of exchanging information and practicing audio. So, here is my first attempt at crea

Yin and Yang in the universe.

The universe consists of attractive and repulsive forces which create vibrations at various levels. Those that vibrate at very low frequencies eventually settle to form matter and those with the frequencies approximately the same as the light remain as energy. Matter and energy in ancient Chinese philosophy refer to Yin and Yang.

Although their characteristics are opposite to each other they are mutually dependent, there will be no Yin without Yang or vice versa. They

     Commenting on Jenny's blog "Career or Marriage" I've suddenly  realized that I played so many different roles in my life!!!!! I'm a daughter,a sister, a wife, a mother........Some roles are the main ones and I'm doing my best to act perfectly..... Some of then are secondary..... I'm a neighbor, a buyer, a patient etc... And sometimes I even pay no attention to them.

     I can't say that I'm excellent in any of these roles (I mean the most important ones). I often forget the text, I sometime

As I was browsing on the net,I have found a really useful tool for English learners,a softver -in order to practice English pronunciation-called IVONA.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

I think it is marvelous, if you study on your own and there is noone to correct you,while you are in doubt about how to pronunce a word or sentence correctly.

IVONA -can be found here.

Jalan Jaksa is a name of the street in Jakarta, the place where I worked in 1999. I worked for a small cafe named Pappa Cafe and Restaurant. Most tourists from all over the world who visit Indonesia come this place. there are some small hotels and inns there. I worked as a waiter. I loved it because I could improve my english skill then.

Have you ever been there? or heard Jalan Jaksa?...

+ I learned that the mind is like a field, and every idea that we think about it for a long time is like watering, and we will get only what we plant either good ones or bad ones.

+ I learned that in schools or universities we get lessons then we do exams, but in life we face exams then we learn the lessons.

+ I learned that a simple conversation or a short dialogue with a wise person equals a month’s study.

+ I learned that it’s not important where you are now, but where are you going in this mom

Drawing is a hobby. And my son Dera likes it, he often draws on the floor or on the white board sometimes. There is no day without drawing for him.

Hi, my brothers and sisters..! how are you doing this time?

As we know that there are 4 skills in learning English. They are reading, writing, speaking and listening. All of them should be practiced a lot everyday to improve our English skill.

Dear friends on My English Club

Did you know that every day we listen to spoken language for more than 60% of our waking time? 

How much listening to English do you do every day? 

Did you know that listening is the one more important skill which will help you become better speakers of English?

Choose your level and go!

This tribunal finding gives hope that US President Obama, French President Sarkozy and UK Prime Minister Cameron will one day be found guilty of war crimes for their murderous bombing of civilians in Libya.

Here you have it.

This is what 6 months of bombing of civilians by NATO was all about.
