This blog is dedicated to my friend & my sister whose parents had passed away a few years ago.

" It has been so long, a decade and a half. I'd say your memories are fresh in my mind, But they are not, they've started to fade as time goes by. I have forgotten the feel of the word "mom" on my tongue and my lips. I cannot say it anymore. It kills me to say this word!
I cannot recall your face, or the way you used to talk, whenever I think about you I have to recreate the images and the sound of your

The funny part is, the closer it is getting to the rainy season, the hotter it is becoming.
And it becomes a daily task of mine to find a cooling shelter to get away from excessive sweating >"<

Anyway, here I go with another 7 words for another boiling hot day on Men & Women :D

Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their elderly mother, who lived far away in another city.
The first said, “I had a big house built for Mama. The second said, “I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the house. The third said, “I had my Mercedes dealer deliver her an SL600 with a chauffeur. The fourth said,

This question was bugging my thoughts these past few days. I'm asking myself how will you know when you've had enough? Enough of the relationship that isnt working, enough of the dramas in life, enough of the things that doesn't make you happy anymore. Is it when the other person has finally gone too far ? Should we wait until they do something major before you decide to leave? Leave after you realize the extent of emotional abuse? Do we need to set boundaries in a relationship and if our partne

I was warned that somebody posed as me (Expector) in the chat room a few days ago. That's so annoying and intolerable. I wonder why they did that - they may have found it's fun to pretend to be someone, or they did it on purpose - just to cause trouble.  I've noticed that so many members complained about the situation in the chat room. Some members even left MyEC since they find some trolls' (or bad apples' or bad guys' or whatever you call them) misbehavior in the chat room is so unbearable. So

Unhappy day is the day that you don't know how to smile to the others... hii, Maybe it is true. every day, i get up early to go drive bicycle, meet some pp, talking with them .... then i come to my comapy, have breakfast with my colleague... start the job with all my heart... sometimes i come somewhere alone and meet some stranger in church, in sea, in the bus... when i have free time i call and talk lovely words with my parent and my sister, my brother... i always smile and do anything i like,

I guess I am going to let the cat out of the bag, for some of you night owls who spend most of your English Club time chatting and reading your friend's blogs.  But, English Club has much, much more than My English Club (our social media side).

If you have paid attention in the past, you may have noticed some of the helpful resources.

Many students are confused on how to properly use contractions in speech.  This is one of the most common errors that I see in my students, so I will explain how this should be done and give some examples of pronunciation. 

But first, let us remember that a contraction is a short form of a phrase in English and is most commonly used in informal speech and writing.  The phrase is shortened (contracted) by removing one or more letters, inserting an apostrophe in their place and making the phrase in

You probably learned the question words in English classes. They are sometimes called called the "Wh" words, to help students remember them.

Who,   what,   when,  where,  why and how are often called question words and most of them begin with the letters "wh".

Which of these words is your favorite and why?

Can you think of any other words that are usually found in questions?

I tell my students to look at the question word before they choose an answer on a test. If the question asks "when" they shoul
