Tips on writing blogs

In order to write a good blog, you really need to:

1. know why you want to write one. You may want to express your feelings, thoughts or opinions about something. Or you may have a good idea, a short story or some information to share. Or you just want to write a blog for yourself.

2. make sure your writing is legible/readable. No one really likes reading anything more complicated/time consuming or full of mistakes. Make your blogs succinct/concise - using simplified sentences in short paragraphs.

Christmas in the USA

Christmas is a very special holiday in the USA. It is especially meaningful for children. And I am sure you can understand why. Children receive presents; they have to behave really well so that Santa Claus will visit their home on Christmas Eve and leave them the very special present they want. When my children were very little, they would be so good for several months before Christmas, that it was wonderful. Our home was very peaceful and the children helped when asked and were polite almost a

Health is Wealth

Eating is my favorite thing to do aside from reading. Especially these holiday season, I can't resist eating even though sometimes my stomach is full. Just kidding. We must all remember that you should know what you eat and in moderation. There's a saying that health is wealth. I find it true. It's because if we are healthy, we feel good about ourselves and to others. We can think clearly. We can enjoy every minute of our lives here on earth.Aside from eating, we should have time for exercise. e

The Winepress

A short story by Josef Essberger "You don't have to be French to enjoy a decent red wine," Charles Jousselin de Gruse used to tell his foreign guests whenever he entertained them in Paris. "But you do have to be French to recognize one," he would add with a laugh. After a lifetime in the French diplomatic corps, the Count de Gruse lived with his wife in an elegant townhouse on Quai Voltaire. He was a likeable man, cultivated of course, with a well deserved reputation as a generous host and an am

Good day!Have you ever wonder why reading is important? As a learner of English, it is one of my favorite aspect. It all started when I was in high school. I always visited a library where I searched for good materials to read such as biography of famous leaders, magazines and self-development books. Through this materials I was able to developed my vocabulary and widened my views in life. Now as an adult I still read a lot, I have been collecting magazines since I graduated in college. I even r

Time really flies. It's been nearly one year since I joined MyEC for the first time. I remember it was Josef, the founder of this website, who invited me here. I used to be active in the other forums of EC, but, soon after I became one of MyEC's members, I found it really fun, attractive and I was starting to love it so much and wrote my favorite blog 'Native English speaker's blog' which might be one of most popular blog posts then. I have made many friends here and I have known Tara, Bill the

My Prince

 

My Prince
by : Nadiyah

Who are you … ? 

Why are you so special?

Until I have hobbled hopefully asking,

I hardly afforded to reach you, and pawned my heart to God?

Wailing every night, I was unable to stop


Who are you, so special in the eyes of God?

Until I had to crawl to walk towards morning

As the afternoon went up, reminding me

As dusk falls bringing hope to others, boredom over coming me

Until the night drew slowly to comfort me to my sleep


Who are you? Someone dressed in greatness

Like a prince on hors
