Hello everyone!

It's been a while we don't try to write or participate writing challenge. I got an idea of this topic as I read a news on EnglishClub and combined with Rose's post.

Read the news, it takes no more than 5 minutes to read: https://www.englishclub.com/efl/listen-learn/the-causes-and-effects-of-climate-change/

Read the Discussion/essay questions. There are two questions.

And this is Rose's blog: https://www.myenglishclub.com/blogs/try-to-do-or-try-doing

Observe the use of 'try to do' and

“Try to do” or “try doing”?

 

Do you know when you have to use 'try to do something' or 'try doing something'?
There is a slight difference in meaning between both.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When we try to do something, we attempt something difficult or even impossible, and although we have done the best we could, we probably fail. It's also used when we spak about to attempt or to make an effort.

Examples:
She tried to win the Gold Med

Using the verb "Stop"

Stop + -ing form or stop to-infinitive. How we have to use that verb?

Using the verb "stop" in the form stop + -ing (gerund) or stop to-infinitive, both of the verbs "stop" takes on a different meaning. 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Using "stop" + -ing form (gerund), means that action ends and will not continue. There is no causal relationship between the two verbs

Hello MyEC! ^_^

Good morning, everyone! *because morning always shows enthusiasm. ^_^

I'm really sorry for my absense. There were a lot of things to do, and lot of things are new ^^, including MyEC. :)) Well, it's been years (:D kidding) I didn't wander on MyEC. I really miss writing a blog, post a picture, and discuss many things with you... Don't you? ^^

Hello everyone, I sometimes listen to youtube the most beautiful love songs to improve my general knowledge of English. For example, I listent when I am able to do it, I was born to love you, Somebody to love, Love of my life and then I feel myself more cheerful with other people and I think only in a positive way.

But if you are people who love to listen to English songs, what are your songs in which the singer (band or he/she) speaks of love for our health, for the Earth and so on? There're som

His son became a song

If you are in deep sorrow and can't get over it, what should you do? You may wait for it to go away on its own, but you can't know how long it goes on. However, something may heal you from it.

Eric Clapton is a great musician and he was in deep sorrow in 1991. He lost his four-year-old son in March of 1991. His son fell to his death from the fifty-third floor of an upscale apartment in New York. We can't know how sad he was, and if he can ever recover. However, he must have recognized that he had

Hello my dear friends, I know that most of you have to write letters for business and sometimes in your native language these are full of words and you have also to write many pages.  But in English for business and for personal letters, there's a rule that I am going to explain to you in this post.

It's a rule based on three words that begins by the letter C: Clearness, Concision, Courtesy.

Now a little example could explain that.

I see on a newsletter received by email an offer of cosmetics that

The Society

I have been working for several organizations in my university campus. Through the journey, I have learnt so many things about life, carrier and humanity. I dedicated my labour for an organization which is working for students and providing facilities to learn English language within professional and academic premisses. Another one is an international technical organization, named IEEE, which is offering a platform to be connected to the largest technical network in the globe. I also work for a

THE STAR

 
 
THE STAR

I saw that sparkling star
It was shining so bright!
All seemed so quiet, so right
that my heart was full of delight.

Now nothing is dark
because of that silent, gleaming star
that brought me peace and new light
and with joy my spirit ignites.

There it is...my star!
dreaming and radiant, and even so far
like in heaven, so high!
flaming and cheering my heart.

You are filling my soul from that night
I want to live enjoying your sight
hearing your invitation so loud
giving to you my just rekindled life

A Small Note

I don't have much to complain about 2019. It's like a starting point after a few challenging years during my time making one of my dreams come true, pursuing my further study. Well, it's not perfect, not exactly the one I wished and strived for, but I am grateful to be given the opportunity to complete the study. And when I came back to my institution, I had a chance to move from my old department where I felt I was done with into a place where I work for now. The dynamic work environment and a

 There lived a man with his son.

He always gave pieces of advice to his son " Son!  Be wise, respect elderly people, never pick something up which doesn't belong to you "

" Alright, father" Said his son. 

One day, on the way to the mosq for the morning prayer, He (The man)  lit his torch light and he saw some money around, he picked the money up and put it in his pocket. 

The young boy saw him but didn't say anything. 

Back home, the man told his son to go and lie down until the Sun rises,  the young

Once, SNR suggested to read a story or parts of books, to report and to post it here.

As far as I could see, no one took part in this challenge, until now, I'll try to be the first one.
I couldn't use the tool That SNR had suggested for voice recording because it isn't available here for me, but I recorded my voice on youtube.
I hope you can open the link.

I read the first chapter of the book "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett".

Here is the link and the text:

Music

 

Songwriters write song lyrics

The songwriters find his/her own voices in mind, and he/she writes his/her thought on papers.  Then the musicians make the song alive.

My New Year Wishes

All I want

I want to be kind and I want to keep straight,
I want to lose some kilos of weight.
I want to have a happy life with all my dears,
as well I want to lose all of my fears.

I want to visit many places on earth,
that is my dream since the day of my birth.
I want to stay healthy as long as possible,
the tune of life should be always audible.

I am still looking to find my right way,
I want to find friendship, not only to play.
I want to give my hand to someone who needs,
not only with words but always
