Read a text about Amelia Earhart and then answer the comprehension questions. If you answer more than 70% of the comprehension questions correctly you will get a chance to play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe. After 100 seconds of playing another exercise appears. This time you have to complete the text with the past simple of the verbs in brackets. The quiz and games can be found at http://www.aj3000.org/A_Earhart_past%20simple/aearhart_past_simple.html.

The street light turned red
and i slammed on the breaks..
My bike stopped just in time
though passers-by there's none..
I saw a familiar car -
the silver gray Vios..
Across the road,
there you are..
It was just like the old times
when we would go round the corners
and often would stop at this crossroads..
We are back here again
Only now, we're on opposite sides
there's some guy else on your passenger side..
While I am taking a solitary ride.
Static sound. Subtle breaths. A deep sigh. Still silence.
He thought “WHAT IF”…
He just finished the project but it’s late. Yesterday was the deadline for it. Still, he will try if he can be considered. Anyway, he did the project a little late because he has an overload of works to do. A common scenario for students during the end of semester. And he did the project not just a requirement but with passion and heart. his teacher commended that value of his and considered his late project.
He mis
Past seven. Dark streets. People homebound. I stood still. Waiting.
A golden heart who’ll share her piece of manna. I headed towards her winding through the crowd; hoping, praying, believing. I poked her arm. She glanced.
She smiled; shot me bullets of questions. My address, my mother, my father, my school. Then she took her ride, and she told me to go home, and she left.
She glanced back. Threw something. Chocolate bars. I smiled. She is my angel tonight.
A new day has come
Filled with light from the morning sun.
The dewdrops gather in the leaf’s tip
As the butterfly’s wings flap above the white rose in bloom.
Birds are chirping in the meadow
Waiting for their mother to arrive.
Across the field
Rice glows golden as they bow to the clear blue sky.
The wind blows the fragments of the night
Leaves its track a fresh scent of delight.
Another morning f blessing and great thanks.
These are the moments I would not trade.
The precious memories that I will remember a
My first day with you
I got lost in view.
Don’t know where to go,
Don’t know whom to ask;
But as the day passed
My gears learned to adjust.
Everyday I was bewildered
Of the culture you offered;
That sometimes I often wondered –
What would it be like over there
With my classmates so dear.
You have given me the opportunity
To walk the halls of this university
Yet my dream I don’t seem to see.
What I was to take is not what I want
But this is the chance that you grant,
So I took it though my hopes are blunt.

Listen To News: Polio Outbreak Feared in Syria - 22 October 2013
Discussion Question: A director from WHO referred to the "duck test" in a response about this possible outbreak. Why would he use this expression, and what do you think he meant by it? (The duck test expression goes as follows: "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.")
I suppose this director has intended to say the polio case in Syria is a real situation, proven fact, only
I am not the First to blog on her, as Mickey had already done it......,but I feel I should, as she deserves for more Blogs.....
Her Presence here in EC always reminds me about the Lines of Mother Teresa......

Yes, she is of that character.....
She can never fight with anybody, cos
She knows to love and LOVE only,

My name is Yussuf but i prefer walenson as my blog indicates.
I'm here to acquire more knowledge, and certainly it's English knowledge. It's incredible to find such a club that permits an uncountable numbers of people to stabilize their English.
Here is what i learnt about life:
At the beginning, you may have the feeling of being refused by your surroundings that is your friends and neigbours. I want you to know that it's just a matter of time. You just keep shining in all activities you undertake
There was once a site named EC
That worked under the rules of democracy.
Kings, students and teachers,
And lots of weird creatures
all chatting in one parlour you could see.
Abdullah ibn Al-Mu'taz,
The knowledge of a hypocrite is in his speech, while the knowledge of a believer is in his actions
The best knowledge is knowledge of the deen. The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, “Verily, Allāh the Exalted does not like one who is knowledgeable of the worldly life, but ignorant of the Hereafter.” [Saheeh al Jaami']
Abu Abdillah Ar-Rudhabaari,
Whoever goes out towards knowledge, intending (just to obtain) the knowledge, knowledge does not benefit him. And whoever goes out towards knowledge, intending to act upon the knowledge, knowledge benefits him – even if it's a little.
How does writing on MyEC help you to connect with people?
First, I have to say that my particular finding of writing as a delightful way to learn and connect to other people from all around the world is a recent find, because for anyone who wants to write nicely it's demanding it has a satisfactory reading level, what I really didn't have sometime ago. How can we intend to write something if we have nothing in mind to base on? For me, It's just unthinkable you write with no reading backg
"Lilian....Lilian.....", Boss called her from his room.
"Yes Boss", Lilian came. "Lilian, do me a favor!", said Boss
"Yes Boss", Lilian said. "What time did you get up this morning?" asked Boss
"5 am, Boss. Why?" Lilian wondered. "Then?" Boss still asked
"Take a bath, pray, have breakfast and come here to work," said Lilian getting nervous
"Now go home!" said Boss. "But Boss, Why? Boss, Why Boss?, Lilian shocked.She thought her Boss would fire her."I don't understand Boss", Lilian was confused and st
