Many festivals are celebrated by the Hindus of these region, but this festival is a unique festival in these region.

Chhath Puja is celebrated as thanks to the Sun for providing the necessities of life on earth, and also for fulfilling particular wishes.

Do you add images to your blog posts? Images attract the interest of your readers and make your posts more memorable. It is also useful to have images in your presentations.

Finding images that you have permission to use can be tricky. It is illegal to copy and paste pictures from the Internet if they are not in the public domain. I prefer to use my own images. I know I have permission to use them. Occasionally I don't have a good picture to use for a blog post. I subscribe to a clipart site tha

Is it better for people to learn from others than to learn on their own?

In my opinion learning from others have many advantages over learning for yourself. People should learn to use the experience of others and trust it; nowadays there are too much things to learn. On the other hand when people have learned something on their very own they are liable to be too self-confident and thus may cause mistakes. Moreover, complicated information sometimes is difficult to understand and obtain when you

Here are 10 reasons why I think My English Club is the best place for English learners to blog: 

1. You will have instant readers

If you start a new blog on your own, it will be difficult to get readers. Eventually, readers will come, but it is hard work to attract them. Spammers often ruin the fun. Why not use your energy to write and improve your English inst

During 9 months, you were pregnant. I always were your womb. How difficult it is to work with distended belly. December 26th 1994, in the surgery room, you risked your life to give birth me. Thanks, Mom.

1996, I was sick. Although I didn't get well, and the doctor said it was so hard for me to get well. But, you didn't give up. You sold your jewelry. I know, you loved them so much. That's all just for me to see a doctor and buy some medicine. Thanks, Mom.

1998, I had gone to school. Kindergarten

It was 02.10.2011 at 19:50... I didn't visit "My English club" in a long time... I missed my "English club"'s friends! :-) I was busy very much with my work, but I always remembered about "My EC" and took various photos for all of you, my dear friends! :-)

Well, it was Sunday, 02.10.2011. It was evening...  It was unusual beautiful sunset... I looked out of my window - there was

Last year on EnglishClub.com we added a lesson on How to Carve a Pumpkin. This year, I recorded an audio track for it. But, be careful...this is not my usual voice.

1. Listen to the recording without the text. (Make sure to turn up your volume to full blast.)

2. Try to catch the gist. What on earth am I saying? 

3. Listen again while reading the 10 Easy Steps. (This is a useful activity. Many English speakers do not annunciate as clearly as English teachers.)

4. If you have a mobile device from App

Learning starts with failure; the first failure is the beginning of education.”

 Learning starts with failure; the first failure is the beginning of education.” every person has to face failure some or the other day and that’s where learning starts. Nobody is born with all the skills nor the knowledge required for success. Failure is the basis of education and is the beginning of the learning process.

As the saying goes “try and try till you succeed”, it is not the end of the road for a person wh
