Have you ever written a letter to yourself? Last week, on Sep 17th, my university asked me to write a letter to myself. The office of the Registrar would then keep the letter in a box confidentially for four years when I am supposed to finish my program. Then, after graduation, they would give the letter back to me. So, I could write inspirational letter or could mention my goals and dreams. I found this idea very fascinating.
The reason that I love this idea is, in fact, I wrote a contract wit
I am afraid I have been too busy to post much here lately. Even so, I would like to let everyone know about a good source of English language videos (VOA) that do provide useful information in an easy to follow format.
If you live in some areas of the world you can receive VOA (Voice of America) broadcasts directly. Voice of America offers English language instruction programs in many countries. This one is from the Cambodia area.

I have been a English teacher for 4 years and this year has been really hard. My studentrs seem to not liking the classes and the activities that I make are worthless to them. Besides, they aren't good at my classes: they get up and talk, they make fun of their classmates and they say that learning English is a waste of time (and if you have read my previous blog, you know what I think of that).
I try to be as creative as I can: work in groups, make plays, listen to music and have lots of fun wi
Did you know that today, September 21, is International Day of Peace? Some people call it Peace Day. It's wonderful that a club like MyEC has people from so many countries. There are sometimes arguments about race, religion or politics in the chat room, but for the most part MyEC is a very peaceful place. I have learned so much about different countries from all of you!
Another thing I love about MyEC is hearing the different English accents from all over the world. Many of you have tried using
Hello everyone.
Today, I would like to write about something that is awark for me. Wasting time. First at all, I would like to ask how do we invest time. I mean, when you study or work are you investing your time? And when you play video games and watch t.v. so you waste it. I don't think so. I think time is a thing that you cannot either invest it or waste it. The time can be only spent.
You spent time doing the this you are due to do or you like to do; so you spend time when you're working,
It was a beautiful Thursday evening in Manila, Philippines. On that day, I was traveling on a bus on my way home together with my family. My sister and I were chatting about the things we accomplished. The bus driver turned on the TV and switch to a news channel. I remember how the first tower was hit by an airplane. It was unbelievable as I thought. It was like an action movie being commercially aired. The reporter kept on narrating the news and as I observed, all people on the bus were sho
Do you think that boy should or shouldn't cry.
In my personal opinion, I think boys can cry when they feel like crying. Of course, I would say that boys should not cry in public. They rather do it in private, buy yes, us as boys can cry.
Sometimes, we cry because we feel blue and we can show our feelings. Sometimes, people feel happines or are nostalgic so it would be good to cry. Some people cry because they are heart-broken.
I like to cry once in a while, because when I cry I feel relief and
Today in my country, we are celebrating love and friendship's day. It is not a national holiday but it is a very common spread feast. Many people consider this day as a commercial day, when companies and enterprises want us to buy things for our beloves and it can be true. However, having special people in your live it is just an amazing opportunity that God gives us and we have to take advantage of that.
I have lots of friends and my family is very special for me so, this day it's made for sha
This article from Russia Today highlights the lies and hypocrisy of NATO and the West very well.
The war criminal trio Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron originally attacked and bombed Libya with the "humanitarian" mission of "protecting civilians". Now that their mission is all but accomplished, the truth is there for all to see. Now that the boot is on the other foot, so to speak, there is no talk of protecting civilians from the NTC. On the contrary, NATO is doing all it can to assist the anti-Gadd

We "teachers" read and studied alot of books and articles about teaching strategies,but ..Can we apply all those theories in the class??What do you think?
For me, I can say that theories can help but if we know how to apply them correctly and add our own experience and personality.
Teaching is not only about motivating students to learn ,but about helping them how to learn and get the essence of the information.If the teachers have the passion and the the love to their career ,so I think they can
Every day I ask my self the same question.
I wish I weren't an afraid person but I am. I am afraid about the weather, about my life, about my work, about my relationship, about my family; I have so many things that make me feel scare.
I would like to take a breath and let thing happen, but I cannot.
Every single day, I wake up and pray to God and I ask for wisdom and tranquility; however, I don't feel so self-assure of my self. I don't know why I feel this way but I have that feeling.

If there are many assaults upon you
I’ll be your shield and armour to make sure you unscathed
If there are many foes surrounding you
I’ll always be your fortress to prot

Well, I remember that on September 11th, 2001 I was at school. I was 13 years old and I had heard some teachers talking about something strange. I didn't know what had happened, so some friends and I asked our teacher and she said that planes were attacking the World Trade Center in the USA. In fact, I didn't realize what it was, but I knew something serious was happening. Then, when I arrived home I saw the images on TV and got kind of scared. I felt really bad seeing all those people suffering
Hi my dear EC friends,

MyEC is a great place to share our feelings about September 11th because our members are from all over the world. A member from India will have a different memory than a member from North America. We all bring a different perspective to this historic event. Some of you may have been too young to remember the event, and will have different views about it than those who watched it on
