If you watch Japanese movies, I recommend movies directed by Kurosawa Akira. He is the greatest movie director in Japan and one of the greatest in the world. His movies are loved around the world. I recomend all his movie to men, especially "Seven Samurai (七人の侍）". This is his most famous and popular movies. I also recommend his movie" Ikiru (生きる）"to women. This movie is very moving. Though these two movies and some of his other movies are old and filmed in black-and-white, but they are still int

Story About My Painting - In Front of the Door (Shoeless Story In Yemen)

I had told this story somewhere else, but still it is my favourite story ever told to people. Once, I was spending my break in Old Sana’a, Yemen, where I came across with some events. I stayed in a tower house in a place called Az Zumar, which is really old. Some says it has already being 400 years.

There is a street in front of the house which not bigger than an alley. There is where I always saw a kid waiting for me to come

Follow me!

Hey, don't laugh! I'm not gonna ask you to follow me! ;) Actually, today I would like to introduce EC members to follow me! ;)

Actually, Follow me was a series of television programs produced by the BBC in the late 1970s as a crash course in the English language. It was popular in many overseas countries as a first introduction to English. Some of you might be already familiar with it. But the ones, who aren't familiar with it, would find this introduction very useful I believe.

 After nine months of teaching every year ,and when my vacation starts,I always ask myself these questions:

- What I have learned this year  and what this job has  added to my personality .

- What  I  have to do more to motivate my students: to make them first like the language, and try to improve  in all its skills .

Every year I can notice two kinds of students :

Those who want just to pass the exam, and others who want to make along term progress .that means teachers should be familiar with the

Hello to all MyEC members and whoever reads my EC blog, sorry to bother you all by posting kind of unrelated topic in here, but somehow this was my personal problem. NO one could help me even though I surfed the net, but finally I find it by my own. So what I'm doing right now is share my experience with other fellow(Afghans) who are in need of this kind of help, and practicing English of course.

Here is what you have to do;

First of all you have to activate your internet on your iPhone,  “write

Story About My Painting - I Dreamt of Desert Rose

Have you ever think of writing down what was in your dream last night? Earlier, I used to forgot them, until some days, I thought I came across with something I saw in my dream. Since then, I always tried to write what I saw. Sometimes I will paint or just draw.

Write or draw, on canvas or on a paper. As long as I won’t get it shattered away without keeping a memory. Hoping someday I will see it again in awaken world. Surreal, yet enlightening.

The  use of the moderated chat at EC is to encourage the learner to read and further enhance  the development of English

New comers naturally may opt to their language , when that happens , we the regular members should correct  them and not  jabber in chatter be it Polish , Arabic  Tamil or  what ever! The reason so people will not get  distracted  or compete   tit  for tat "He spoke in  Russian  so I will speak in Polish !" Results in pandemonium  and confusion !

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE UNTIL YOU LOSE IT

They are busy amusing themselves with things they rarely get, or spending too much time chasing what they haven't possessed. But the most frequent thing happened to people is they don't pay enough attention to their health until their bodies suffer from sickness particularly diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and stomach disorder. These diseases

I'm planning on moving house (that isn't a literal translation by the way, it means I do the moving - not the house).

I have a nice house, but it's far too big for me and not situated anywhere near to my friends or family. Lots of people have asked me what a house in England looks like.

I thought I would show you my house, but I would really love to see the inside and outside of yours.
