My native speaking tongue and best wishes have always been on this site to welcome new members and celebrate the "victories" when someone finally comprehends and gains the ability to communicate in this "CRAZY LANGUAGE" that we all call English.

Lately, the moderation has apparently scared a few people away from EC.

If I were Tara or Joe, my efforts would go out to sanctity of this site and what it stands for. If my English speaking skills were limited (while trying to convey my thoughts), perhaps

  Hello guys, this post I will try to gather all the topics proposed by teacher Tara in her blog "Do You Like Facebook? Let's Blog About It" in just one post. So, first of all, I want to thank teacher Tara for always bring us  supporting activities in order to improve our   ability of expressing our opinions and thus written skills at the same time. Thank you teacher!

  I'll answer the following questions along my text:Do you love or hate Facebook?Explain your reasons; What do you typically use F

   Cherish each day as a gift.  Use it wisely. The most important thing is never  let any negative thought or feeling beat you.  We may choose to refuse being unhappy or sad.  Just move forward. Pursue your dream. As 2014 is around the corner, I wish everyone a happy, optimistic, and healthy  life.

Well if you compare now to 100 years ago, we have come a long way. I feel pretty good that we will have flying cars. I predict that the world will have a global economy rather than each country individually, we may even have an Earth president, rather than individual country leader. We will probably have colonies on other planets. TV's would be replaced with halo-gram projectors. The flying cars will get 100 miles per gallon of water, since we won't be using gas anymore -:)

As I said before Tintin had been on their lawn and about to start a game with her friends when the man had come to her sight. His face was bleak though he was forwarding towards them in  a graceful spaces." Who is that guy, do we know him"?, Tintin was thinking surprisingly but had not got her answer.

Then the man had took her

In this blog, I want to share with you a few idioms/phrases related to gold. Did you know:-

1. The Midas Touch

The meaning of Midas touch is to have the ability to be successful, especially the ability to make money easily. The idiom of Midas touch is originated from the story of King Midas. It was an ancient Greek story. King Midas had a lot of gold and good fortune. But he never satisfied with what he had. The more he had, the more he wanted. He stored all his gold in a vault, and he would count

EnglishClub's Facebook page received its 100,000th like yesterday! This is a huge milestone. EnglishClub has been on Facebook since 8 July 2009. You can look through our Timeline to see some other fun Milestones, such as the date EC was born.

   If  you  beg  for something free you  don't have a  say  in what you get. It's something you say to someone who's getting something without trying for it.

 The term beggar  means a  person  that  begs for  money or  food.It  does not mean the same as homeless or poverty stricken. Many  such people do not beg , but make their living by other means. A wealthy person can be a beggar if  he  sits on a street corner and asks for people to give him money.

The main causes  for beggars are that they're

Here we are again... the month of December.  It still is a special month for me because of what it represents, the birth of Jesus Christ, and the end of a year and the beginning of a new one. 

Time to enjoy again that excellent performance of George C. Scott in Charles Dickens' Chrismas Carol.  For me, the best production ever. And as you may remember, in this movie Ebenezer Scrooge was visited by three ghosts representing the Chrismas past, Chrismas present, and Christmas to come.  Once again, t

Drones!!! Do you see it like this way---?

When you are in a solitude mode, or in intensely impassioned,   a verse could beam in your mind a different world and sense of pleasure. I’m talking about poetry. Why you read poetry? And how is poetry made of?

What is poetry?

No one knows what poetry is. Inversely, poetry has as many definitions as there are poets and readers. Is poetry like paintings where poet uses words instead of paint? One thing is for sure that poets are tightfisted on spending words unlike prose writers. Poetic form is ec

Mandela showed the world that man can imbue politics with moral and spirtual values. How desperately we need a man of his vision & stature in our society who can change our world view , which currently divides people rather than unites, promotes hatred rather than love, and sanctifies the delusion that we are the sole bearers of truth & that all oth

For instance, verb ‘to let’ (to allow) and phrasal verb ‘to let down’ (to make someone dis

Dear Captain,

I'm over the moon. I am getting used to the enviroment in the hospital. Today is the 79th day since I am here. Jingjing is with me now!

She started her summer holiday last week and with her mother's permission she comes to me. She will be here for two weeks as I will leave in 2 weeks. I think she is a happy angel who is sent here by God. She has brought me a lot of smiles. Seeing I am happier, my mom is also reassured. I won't ask what happened to me, instead I just enjoy my day
