ESL Blogs

Hi all, about 27 hours from now on (in India), we will be entering into 2013. So many centuries have passed by, generations have witnessed these unique entries in the new year. Millions of SMSes are ready to shoot, emails have pulled up their sleeves, shops are lighted to attract customers, hotels are being booked to boos, eat and dance, people are ready to forget negative events happened in 2012 and are wishing to have positive thoughts flowing across the globe. 

There is great economic impact o

How I wish this blog could jump into the hundredth directly. As you can see, it's merely 28th until now. I'm unable to achieve my wish of making 100 voice blogs by the end of 2012 within two days, unless I have magic. So, I'm ready to throw in the towel, but that doesn't mean I'd stop voice blogging anymore. On the contrary, as long as I'm available I'd keep doing so because I know I've been learning many from preparing voice recordings. Compared to my very first one, I've overcome great fear of

I remember the tenderness with which Anele tried to soothe my Twin and me all my life. We had lost our parents after a fire incident and since then Anele, she was older than us, was like a mother to us. Now, I have the agony which I awoke with after all these years, and turned my eyes, so tearful and dull, to the walls, all over stone cold, away from making a home, with the dim light, which is pallid to me, and yet more pallid each day. Gradually,

I want to know that on the new year eve what will you do? Thanks

I write about Japanese year-end and New Year. THe 31st December is called "Oomisoka" 「大晦日（おおみそか）」 in Japan. Japanese people eat soba on this day. There are some theories about why Japanese people eat soba on this day, I think it's because soba is auspicious in the end.
We hear year-end gongs on the eve of New Year. The gongs are struck 108 times because men are disabused 108 worldly desires to strike the bell 108 times in Buddhist beliefs.
We eat New Year's food during the first three days of Janu

Hello everyone!

I really got a kick out of reading this story that I've just collected from the internet. Here is  THE SOURCE I'd like to share with you all and let's learn together in having fun :)

HOW TO PLAY THE GAME?

Because the story was written in so many idioms and it seems to be difficult for us to understand the content if we didn't know all those idioms in it. So, each of us has to find out one by one and beside, giving the meaning and the sample sentence for that idiom we just find.

The following is a total reproduction of what I stumbled upon the online Merriam-Webster Learner's Dictionary site. I'm neither the creator nor rightful owner of it! I decided to share the exercises with EC members after I found that they would be very useful to those who are serious about improving their pronunciation, especially some problematic pairs of the vowel sounds  and consonant sounds alike!  It  would be to your  advantage to do  these  exercises. Happy learning!.

In my earlier blog I had a mention of trying to think about world peace by bloggers as a contribution through blogging. How can it be done? One of the effective ways would be `sharing ideas` of `how` can this be achieved. 

I am trying to share one here:

WP idea 1: Help people to open up

Peace is difficult to achieve if our expressions are pending. each of us are very happy when we are able to openly share any thing we wish to. Few of us can do it, however, most of us cannot not due to many reasons

We all know that English has become a universal language. You need to learn it, whether you're a student, a professional, or just a visitor to some foreign  country. In many countries, you're not even considered "well" educated until and unless you know how to communicate fluently in English.

Since English is such a vital language to succeed in life, it has become very popular with language learners. Every other person you meet would like to speak English well. The very idea of communicating in E

what is your main wish for this year?

Tonight I'm watching program about people who are doing good things for others .. One of them "Fearless Child" .. It's a story about 18 years old girl taking care of 3 brothers and 2 sisters. Her father died when she was 12, but her mother was drinking and didn't care about children! Mother rights were taken away from her. So oldest girl chose to be a mother to her brothers and sisters instead of going to study and making career :) 

HELLO MY LOVELY FRIENDS

HAPPY NEW YEAR 

I HOPE YOU BEST WISHES

    Well, twenty thirteen is coming fast. I wonder whether we are ready for it or not. In  twenty twelve, we had our ups and downs. Is it possible, we try to be better than that previous year? Wars, unrest, killing innocent people, changing regimes ,,, etc. Well, I hope we try to change ourselves in twenty thirteen.  Who knows it can be a year of change to the whole world.

When today I logged into MyEC, I was just planning on killing time because its a Sunday. As I was about to join the chat room I found something peculiar along side the chatting room button and I was like 'I found something !!', it looked something like a button at the bottom right corner of my screen and I was like 'Ooo what does this button do!!'

It was on top of the old chat room bar.

And I couldn't held back any more and just had to click on it and Voila! This is what I found!

I had to investiga

This country is hot, I thought. It isn’t like the place where I come from. The sun is about to set from the clear sky and it is warm enough to take the thunderstorms from my heart away. “How are you?” she asked without turning round. “Are you all right?” “No,” I said carelessly and turned to face her in a dull way. Indefiniteness is a true killer. It makes us impatient and causes more troubles. We both know we have to move forward, and come up wit
