       Creativity is the ability to invent or imagine something new. Everyone is creative, but some people act on their ideas and other don't.

There are many ways of being creative .

Evolution of ideas

Creativity is not only about new ideas, It is also , about making improvements to existing ideas If a car designer  creats a more comfortable car ; he builds on all the changes made by designerin the past.

Butting ideas together

Two or more ideas can be combined to creat a new ideas. If you join the id

This challenge was inspired by English language teacher Dave Dodgson.I'll tell you the truth in a week or so.

Useful language:
"Tara, the first one can't be true..."
"I don't believe that you..."
"Number _ sounds like a true/made up story."
"I doubt that you..."
"You're pulling our leg about getting/having..."
"I think you made up ..."

     Hello everybody, I've been trying to post new photos for about a week, but it doesn't work. I've been told that the uploading process has been successful and that I've just needed to get the photos approved. I've been waiting for about 4 days and nothing has happened.

Does anyone have an idea why?

     I have another problem, I posted 3 photos on 23th Seb. The photos were posted and I got comments on them; however, after some days I've noticed that 2 of these photos were deleted.

Can anybody h

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village.


A tourist complimented the local fishermen
on the quality of their fish and asked
how long it took him to catch them.
.



"Not very long." they answered in unison.


"Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"


The fishermen explained that their small catches were
sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.


"But what do you do with the rest of your time?"


"We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children,
and take siestas with our

A teacher friend put out a challenge for English language teachers to provide two photos that English learners could use to compare and contrast. Another teacher friend (a member of MyEC) suggested I challenge the MyEC members to take up this challenge. Are you up for the challenge? Here is what you have to do: 

1) Open a new blog post.

2) Post two photos that have some similarities. (your own photos please)

3) Use the title Compare and Contrast.

4) Write a few questions for your visitors.

I wanna thank you very much

Cause you are here with me

Do you know how long I have been misled?

Keep walking through the night without any light

Get lost and alone in the peculiar dream

Get adrift in the sea of doubt

Then, you light up the lighthouse on your island

I feel the helping hands holding me

You know, my lady, those hands are yours

You wake me up from my never ending restlessness

You teach how to be a better man

You teach me how to love everything I own

You teach me how to treasure this life

You sh

Many people tend to evaluate a person from the very first meeting thinking that the first impression one leaves is the most honest and shows his/her real character.Accordingly, that person will work his/her socks off to leave a good impression on the host. That's pretty recommendable and important as long as the person acts and behaves as he/ahe truly is. Unfortunately,some people misunderstand the concept and the essence  of "the first impression" and start to fake their personalities and appea

Last Bullfight in Catalonia


Approximately 20,000 bullfighting fans turned up for a bullfight in Barcelona on Sunday. This was the last bullfight of the season and likely the last fight that will ever take place in La Monumental arena. A bullfighting ban will take effect on January 1st in Catalonia. After the sixth and final bull was killed, three of Spain’s top matadors were carried out of the arena on the crowd’s shoulders. Many fans were protesting the ban outside the arena, while activis

"I would like to introduce to you a nice, but dangerous tourist site in my area: it's called Adiyanpara. It's a waterfall. Around that area you have to walk carefully as the rocks there are very slippery there. It is about 15 km away from the town. I can never forget this place in my whole life because once I fought for my life in this waterfall. At that time I had college-holidays. We planned to visit the waterfalls. There are many big and small waterfalls at that place. Nature created a kind o

By chance, i found this article somewhere on the net and i found it so interesting that i thought that i would share it with you here. For a few years I protected myself by closing my heart to others and, with time,  i noticed that those to whom i was closing my heart to, were just doing the same to me. So to close our heart to people is not the right.

Here is the article. I hope you will find it intersting.

While you might believe that keeping your heart closed is the
only way to feel safe, ther

 I think I will write about myself - that's a good idea because I can write a lot about my life. I was born in Kerala, in South India, which is close/near to your native country. My village's name is Nilambur. It's a very famous place. It's a nice forest area, full of teak trees. The world's biggest teak tree is situated here in my place. I am the eldest son in my family. My father's family was a big family. He has 6 brothers and 2 sisters. They all lived together in one house/under the same roo

Hello everyone.

I think there's a moment in your life when you question your beliefs and policies. When you question who you are, what you are and many others things. 

In my case, I am a Catholic man. I think it is a personal decision but of course my family has influenced me on that. All my family is Catholic, I was risen by my grandparents and they go to mass every single Sunday, they pray every single day and they are very good people. So, I follow their example; however, when I was a teenage

Amongst all those who have come across me so far ever since i started using my senses and wits, there hasn’t been an even single person who hasn’t evinced directly or indirectly wishes to be powerful. Of course, the field of power is different for different people. A wrestler wants to be powerful in muscular form, a student wants the power of intelligence, an athlete wants cardiovascular power and a politician wants ruling power.

Of course power can be attained by anybody—but there is a requirem
