Audio Challenge 1: Bed in Summer

Posted by Nafis on November 29, 2010
Bed in SummerIN winter I get up at nightAnd dress by yellow candle-light.In summer, quite the other way,I have to go to bed by day.I have to go to bed and seeThe birds still hopping on the tree,Or hear the grown-up people’s feetStill going past me in the street.And does it not seem hard to you,When all the sky is clear and blue,And I should like so much to play,To have to go to bed by day?

Can We Live In Such A Wonderful World Like This Video?

Posted by James Shin on November 29, 2010

Can we live in such a wonderful world like this video?

Another word, can we have friends like what we see on this video? If friends are like this, I will be happy every moment with him/her as ‘what a wonderful friend I have!’ and nobody will take away this wonderful feeling from me. They don’t need to say any nicest words for each other but they are just staying together and relaxing each other in comfort. What a wonderful world in nature!

How to Be a Good Online Friend

Posted by Tara Benwell on November 29, 2010
I just realized that I have 999 friends on MyEC. Though many of these members are not active participants in the club, there are hundreds of members who consider MyEC a home away from home. If you've heard of Seth Godin, you'll know that he calls a club like ours "a tribe". We are a group of disconnected people with a like interest that brought us together. Though it may seem difficult to keep in touch with so many friends it is possible to touch the lives of many through blogs, photos, videos,

First Love at First Sight

Posted by Ohnie on November 26, 2010

Last Friday afternoon (November 5th) was very special to me. I got to pick Sam up from school and got to hang out with him at the mall afterwards. Since I'm a working mom, the privilege of taking Sam to school and picking him up is rare while my in-laws normally do this job for me.

So when I picked Sam up, I asked him where he would like to go. I gave him several options. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mommy, I wanna go to the mall!" So then we went to the mall and there we ate and ran a

Writing Challenge #25: Seven Secrets to Learn English

Posted by Nafis on November 22, 2010
Learning English has been one of the most difficult tasks I have ever done in my life. What makes it so challenging is you have to be persistent, self-motivated and self-disciplined.
