I saw it on Ted.com this video, I saw Oksana has Ted's link also, then, here's someone who likes this one: The danger of a single story. Good English, clear voice, beautiful explanation and a remind for all of us to check our ideas from time to time (I know, you don't need it but, what happen with the rest of us?)

I was remembering a story told it by a cinema director: "We were looking for some one which talks in ""African""... finally they've found a man who spokes as they wanted, dark skin, mou

Hello friends .

Happy mother's day to every mother of Englsih Club

Lord, are there roses in your garden
On the shores of jubilee
Would you pick a dozen of your best
And deliver them for me?
For you see, today is mothers’ day
And I can’t visit my mom
For it wasn’t very long ago
The angels came and took her home.
So if there are roses in your garden
On the shores of Jubilee
Would you pick a dozen of your best
And deliver them for me?
Would you take them to my mother
And tell her that I love her.
Tell her that I miss her
In oh!

My EC friend Tara Benwell introduced me to a very interesting link called Storybird. It's a fun way of storytelling. I find it very effective for young readers and learners. Thank you Tara! 

For my first Storybird, "I Love Counting Balloons" I kept it simple just like child's play. I hope you like it, just like my granny kids Dwan and Eunice do.   http://storybird.com/books/i-love-counting-balloons/   

Happy reading!

Books. I could say it is my passion. Searching for stories on the internet I've found some of Oscar Wilde works. One of these days I was searching other things and found this piece:

Lady Windermere's Fan

there you can read and listen at the same time this work.

It's in WikiSource, so you musn't have problems with it.

Hope you can enjoy it!

Do you know what day it is on Sunday, 8th of May? It's Mother's Day. 

It's the second Sunday of May and most countries honor mothers and motherhood. It is celebrated as Mother’s Day.  Share us your stories about how it is celebrated in your country. This is a nice time to remember how we love our mother. And it is great to know how people from other countries express their love for  their moms. To name a few of the countries that celebrate this special day on the second Sunday of May are Belgium

I've been a proud mom and always will be.  Therefore, I wanted to write something about my son and my fulfillment about being his mother.  I wanted to share the joy of my motherhood.  But in the end, I found myself writing about someone else's children.

Last night, I came across a folder of photos containing my trip to Sri Lanka last September. Something pinched my heart while looking at them.  How could have I easily forgotten about them - the children at the orphanages I visited?  Here I am a

I am starting this post not because I am using commas exactly as it should be. Not at all! The reason is I am learning how to use them properly. In my case learning starts with considering. Being aware of my poor memory I try to grasp the logic of a thing or a process and so I can memorize what is vital.

Some people don't use punctuation. When they are beginners, this is quite understandable.

Though I notice people who use complex grammar yet still almost omit using commas and even periods and cap

Today, I asked a question in the OR (hospital's operating room). I hesitated to ask at first - what if I asked a stupid question? Would my Canadian counterparts look down on me because of a stupid question? But, the attending (a high ranking doctor) said, 'Good question! I know in Asia you don't...but in Canada we do...'.

So, here comes my question: What could be a 'stupid question'? Teachers usually want their students to ask questions. And, a question can be a good title for an article, or a go

MAN GOES FOR MANGOES

Khaliqur Rahman

Summer's delight, God's exquisite gift to Man, succulent with varied sweetnesses, Ghalib's favourite among fruits, you must have guessed what I am talking about. Yes, of course, if you are a connoisseur of good taste, you have.

Mangoes -- here's God's plenty -- are here again, of which one is never enough, neither are two. The truth is: enough is not enough -- at least for me. The mind -- and the body -- is always willing to go for one more, but I have to stop
