Hi everybody,

How are you all?

I'm afraid of bothering you with my lessons, but I do believe that you can add something new.

I have a lesson need to be presented following the strategies of Active Learning; co-operative learning, role playing, think-pair-share and problem solving.

I have several scattered ideas need to be arranged, but I couldn't do that.

Below you can see the picture of the lesson. It's only new words.

When I read the Analisa Daily on 1st December 2011, I found out that Medan has a clean water crisis problem right now. The clean water crisis problem that is happening in Medan is caused by the growth in population and housing development.

Meanwhile the sources of clean water are limited and the absorption of water is also almost no longer available. Many of the green belt and water catchment areas have been converted into areas for housing, business, and even for industry. Whereas, these green b

I'm Sahar,

A student of the world…

Alchemist (an interesting book) invited me to EC and my life started in EC.

I learnt many things during this 1 year of my life here.

All members in EC are very lovely and such a nice person that I like to be in touch with all of them, of course, if they let.

I've found that they have different skills and in those fields they are a real master.

What is beauty?

Can we trust each other?!

Questioner;

Do you think we can trust each other?!

Is it reasonable we spend hours on EC. Chatting to our friends?

Can it be considered an effective way to improve our English?

Responder;

I think yes. We can trust each other 100%!

But trusting in this high degree needs some conditions.

Let me explain about it please.

We are in EC to learn English otherwise we are wrong about being here. So, we who are here for that goal can learn many things from each other. Not only can we learn English but also many

Questioner;

Have you ever met or know someone who genuinely changed your life in some way?

A person like a professor, a teacher, a friend or even a stranger.

Responder;

    I’m writing for you, my mind is empty from every other thing. I’m only for you now.

There isn’t any thing more important than you in my life in this moment, because now, you are my God…

What is bigger than God?

    When we smile, he is on our lips. When we cry he is in our eyes. When we love, he is in our hearts.

He gives us himself

Every person is given the blessing of beauty. But what makes us to look like beauty or not beauty?

Beauty originated from our soul because our spirit comes from the highest source of beauty.

I think beauty is like light. If we flash a halo of light at each darkness, it will be bright certainly. The degree of lighting depends on the power of that light.

And if we flash the beauty in our life, every thing can be affected by it. Even something that we may think they are ugly.

So, our face, our heart, o

PARADISE

    We lived in the Paradise at first, after eating that forbidden fruit we were deported…

Humans love each other, but in the middle there is one who doesn't like to see their love. He is the person who cheated humans to eat that forbidden fruit, he is trying so hard to create evil among people.

    We ate that fruit, and he was the happiest person whole the world.

The richness of life lies in memories…I used to think that I forgot all but in fact, they didn’t fade from my mind… These memories still deeply exist in my heart, sometimes they rush back and fulfill all my soul…

My childhood was in Nha Trang, a city of Vietnam central. At that time, we didn’t have many games like the kids have now but it was full of funny games in the beach. That was a memory of golden afternoon of catching sandcrabs, snails and fish. I remember that at the time when the moon wa

Baby plzz.. try and understand..

I want you more than anyone can..

Whatever if we can’t be together..

I want to see you happy forever..

Life may not pan out to our desire..

Know for you I can go through fire..

I may be lame in what I want to explain..

But we must see through the reality terrain..

Tides are high, waves and thunder..

Love must not make us flounder..

You are in me and will always be..

Being apart is the will of destiny..

We are connected by our heartbeat’s strand..

  What comes out in your head when you read the word fruit? A lot actually right? Fruits come in different shapes, sizes, smells, and tastes. But when you say fruits, there are nutritional and health benefits that are attached to it.

  Experts say that eating fruits like pineapple, banana, apple, pomegranate, and grapes, helps decrease the bad cholesterol in our body and prevents us from acquiring diabetes. If I'm not mistaken, Diabetes is the second leading causes of death in the world. Eating r
