Voice blog no. 5

Hello my dear EC friends,

Do you have any ideas how to avoid the fillers such as umh, hmm, so, alright.

Could you please tell me how to improve these and how we can actually say more useful words instead of saying these all the time? I have a habit of saying fillers like these and I think it's time to improve it. Saying lesser of these fillers is I think is one way of speaking properly and a way to speak much livelier and interesting. So, do you have any ideas? Please, share them

A poem :What is life ? not for publishing
It’s a chronic lasting pain ,from the beginning to the end
Since you were imprisoned nine months in mother’s womb
To relies for bigger prison of life , if you were known what would happen you wouldn’t emerge
the chains would around you ,when you grow up they grow up with you as your shadow
They are chains of laws , tradition conventions ,
Then you would be governed and led
by unjust powerful to shed
in the last breath
When you die ,you coffined by

Dear friends and teacher,

Years ago I wrote this text in my diary; of course I wrote it in French which is my mother tongue. I decided to translate it into English so I could take part to this fun writing challenge Tara gave us. It was not easy at all and my biggest challenge was to use the right tenses. Written in red my new vocabulary.

Wandering around Istanbul.

It has been one month and one week since I dropped off my suitcases in Istanbul, it was the month of May ... the best to get lost in the

Dearest Best friend Anele,

First of all, thank you so much for writing such an awesome letter to me. I enjoyed reading it a lot!!!

Yesterday, I received your letter moments before I left home for a holiday trip to Alhambra, Spain. And guess with whom?! With our crazy and psycho MyEC friend, Yasemin!

Hey, don't be angry for we didn't tell you about our trip before. Actually, we wanted to surprise you!

And here I'm, sitting in a cozy room in Hotel Alhambra Palace and writing this lette

Dear Raj,

I have had the happiness of receiving my first letter from EC’s sweet member, you. You know I wasn’t here for a while, that’s why I asked one of my neighbor’s to keep it till I came. I almost lost my hope in getting it in my hands and reading it. But, thank God now I have it.

So, when are you coming here? When you come to Turkey, I will take you to a very beautiful place called Amasra, in the west forests of the Black Sea in the north of Turkey. There, the greatest charm of foliage is ne

Dear teachers and friends, could you please leave your comment on  my first essay below? Thank you.

In this century, most people in many part of the world have mobiles phones. It is important to have one in their home. Nowadays, it is hard for people to live without mobile phones. Even though some people say, mobile phones should be banned in public places. In my opinion banning mobile phone does not make sense. What if some emergency occurred? People cannot call for help because the mobile phon

This is the path to Allah Juniad spoke about.

Stop! repent! intend never to return! call out

To Allah and ask him to forgive, fearing him

By doing what he wants, not disobedying him,

Outside with your body, inside in your heart.

So, that's a total four, they help you do your part.

Guard your senses, your belly, and your private part.

Guard your mind from the bad thoughts, just stop them.

I Am a Tough Cookie

You don’t know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have. 

Familiar with that sentence? How strong do you think you are? 

Last week, we had guests at home. My old friends came to our house. We had a good time though their 20 months cute daughter couldn’t come. We talked, we laughed and we ate. It was lunch time so of course we ate. It was a memorable moment, but there was something that I will always remember. It was my dad. He has glaucoma since 2005. Had a surgery, but t

         My babies,

       First, I just remind you , don’t laugh at my mistakes. Although, I am your sweet mom but it’s not mean : I’m smart. I know, my English is still poor and I’m trying to be good in it day by day. I want you to feel proud of me. And if you find some mistakes, don’t shout them in public, I will be ashamed..ehehe….

       Next, remember, this letter is for all of you. So don’t be jealous of each other. All you are my  kids. I love you equally. No one is much more than other. N
