Hello! Before you roll your eyes with the title of this blog post, let me tell you that this is not a legit word. I innovated this acronym as one of my vocabulary learning techniques.
Vocabcuemery - means that it's time for me to learn new words using cue cards. Also, to jot down unfamiliar words or phrases as a vocab exercise.
This is a weird term, isn't it? As an English learner, it's essential to improve our vocabulary for every day activities. Even native speakers learn new words once in awhil

..........While I was browsing the Net earlier, I came across this gut-wrenching story about a young girl, Sahar Gul who was sold into marriage at a tender age of 12. The article tells us about the horrifying experience the defenceless girl went through in the hands of her in-laws! Besides being left to starve, to our utter shock, she was chained in a basement and beaten with red hot iron pipes. Guess what? The gruesome torture didn’t stop there! They pulled out all her fingernails when she ref
The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.....
Dear Captain,
Finally I learnt the reason Fay broke up with her first lover from another friend of ours. The cook didn't want to live with her brother and take care of him. But she has to take care of her brother for his mental disease. So...
Anyway it doesn't have any meanings to discuss this issue as she has found her new happiness. But I do care about her brother who has been suffering mental disease. When Fay goes out for work, he has to be locked in his room since their parents can't control
Hello guys, proceeding my blog posts about the world of aircrafts I want to share with you this opportunity what hides behind the system of slowdown of an airplane. As I'm not a technician for this area I'll try to explain for all of you the subject using the simplest way I can. So guys, pay attention and check out all the steps of this process below.
We can think about three systems which do an airplane stops. Commercial aircrafts have basically three slowdown systems: flaps, reverse thrus
Delicate You
The day has been so sad, no happiness today.
Until I saw her, the beautiful face that took me away.
Like a gentle flower, her smile, her laugh, her heart.
Emotions of many, indescribable like intriguing art.
No worries, no problems, crossed through my mind.
But the only image of her, who I thought, sweet and divine.
I was so happy, for when I saw her shine.
For I was sad, knowing, I could only see her for one time.
Cherish the moments, for only a short time to last.
Everlastings go swiftly, l
Music Is Me
Music is a passion
Music is my dream
Music is more important than it seems
It takes the pains
It takes the tears
It takes everything you've been hiding all these years
It takes it all
But you can't see
The importance it has for me
I won't show it
I won't tell it
For only the melody can sing it
Sing it loud
Sing it proud
Sing it when nobody is around
You love it
You keep it
Hoping one day you might be it
Lonely River
Near dawn, quite mist, she dreamed
Glistening crystals, the white river streamed
Alone by the waters, her attention caught
The vision of only him, and only him, she thought
Full moon shining, a memorable sight
The now lonely girl, on that beautiful night
Across the river, the object then dimmed
The sight she saw, the memory, was him
Okay this is a simple but (i think) a funny game:
You just have to name here your 3 favorite animals (in order, first the one you like most and then the others) and it's also important that you write briefly the reasons why you like those animals (different reasons for different animals)
After writting your answer, read what it's written at the bottom of this post (please don't cheat! don't read it before!) Maybe your answers will help you to know something new about yourself ;)
P.S. Anyway, th
Hello.
How's my EC family? I missed you guys so much.
My page look so dead. In the meantime, so much things has happened. I'm in the last year of my graduation so I have to work harder to get good grades and also to get admission in masters.
I have one good news too and that is, my sister has now become a mother. She gave birth to a boy on 23rd August. I'm so happy.
My second sister is getting married in November. And the problem is that my exams and her wedding are falling on the same date. And
How can people hear animal calls is different for Japanese and English speakers.
For example, Japanese can hear call of cats like "nya nya", English speakers can hear that like "mew mew". Dogs sound like this in Japanese "wan-wan", and like this in English speakers "bow-wow". Roosters sound like this in Japanese "kokekottuko"、 and like this in English speakers "cock-a-doodle-doo". Sheep sound like this in Japanese "mee", and like this in English speakers "baa". Frogs sound like this in Japanese
At first glance, the title would let you think it is purely a religious topic, but in fact it is not.
I have to mention first that I’m neither an Islamic scholar nor a preacher. I’m just presenting my view and you have all the right to agree or disagree with.
When I joined EC, it was very interesting and amusing to meet lots of people from all over the world. People who are from different countries and have different views, cultures, religions and backgrounds.
It was a great chance to know more ab
Dear Captain,
Fay came to visit me again. But this time she came alone. She told me a piece of bad news and a piece of good news.
The bad news was she had been sad for a long while because she broke up with her first lover, the cook who came to visit me with her last time when I celebrated my birthday. Fay didn't tell me the reason though.
The good news was she came out of those sorrowful days and she engaged herself to a military man. Next year when the spring comes back she will marry him. So I w

What Would You Do?
One thing, we need to do, is have changes.
Never showing your true self, always hiding, stuck like a mole in a hole in our little cages.
Never showing who we are, do we know what we will become,
what if…
we are…
destined to be the same.
What do I want me to be? What can I do? Where do I begin? Where should I start? Should I change my name? Should I
Dear Captain,
It has been a while since last time I wrote to you. Don't worry, everything is fine.
Captain, I have a question to ask. How do you think of changing? With the rapid development, people's concept is changing also. For me, changing many times brings new stuff. So it is not bad to change for people or the society. Yet we have to admit some new stuff isn't good.
In the past days, each time when I went back home, my friends would say, "Oh, Nikita, you are changing." I felt uneasy for such
When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling
Live your life so at the end
You’re the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.....
Attrition
1. The unpredictable and uncontrollable, but normal, reduction of work force due to resignations, retirement, sickness or death
2. Loss of a material or resource due to obsolescence or spoilage.

Hello members
I am sure, nobody will deny the beauty of this quotation "Be yourself", but whenever jealousy grows in us, we put aside all moral lessons and begin degrating others. If we start criticizing envious people, there will be no difference left between them and us. So let's talk about its solutions, agree?. To the best of my humble observation, there are two methods of remedying jealousy. One method has been extracted from Islamic viewpoints and other is general and anyone can apply it.
One night (a few months ago), I was sitting on my back porch and joking around with some of the EC members while posting. Most of you who know me well are aware of the fact that I'm not much of an English Teacher and simply enjoy chatting here while doing my level best to help out when time allows. Writing and being creative is a part time hobby of mine. Yet, this is a true story and I'm composing it in a serious manner.
Anyway,... These strange orange lights appeared on my southern horizon with
