ESL Blogs

Hello my EC friends,

I am posting my old blog because I had lost it. Most of you might have read it before. 

We human beings are very judgmental and tend to label other people on the basis on how they behave towards us. We label people like kind, callous, arrogant, betrayer, cunning, indifferent and so on.

Here I would like to discuss people who have always been labelled as “Indifferent”. You all must have faced a situation when whenever you go to the wedding ceremony or birthday party, a list of c

I am in my old hometown, caring for my mom for a few weeks.

Yesterday, in the early morning, I watched the sunrise through the window of my mom's house.

Watching how the day wakes up is always stunning and has its own magic.

Please have a look.

It was a hot and grey spring day around seven. Exactly as now, while I’m writing this. I had just returned from a meeting of friends in which was she, the girl I liked. She was two years older than me, and despite she likes me too, she thought that our age difference was not convenient. So that afternoon I came back to my house and walked through straight to the back garden. I stayed standing there, staring at the sky. Suddenly started drizzling, and tiny drops began falling over my face. I reme

I was 14 years old when I wrote my first words, in literary terms, of course. It was 20 years ago, around this same time. I remember it quite well. How couldn’t I? It was a magic process to me. As if I had discovered a secret weapon to fight against all evils. From that moment on, I was able to face the pain, the fear, the uncertainty, the rejection, the anxiety, and every kind of hurtful feeling in a much more efficient way. It made me stronger.

To be continued…

To "bee" or not to "bee"?

Definitely the latter.

Definitely

Heyo!

Current mood:

Here's some hom... ah forget it.

"Enjoy".

Task: Read the theory of describing objects and write a text indicating what the sound machine looks like and what it is for (write between 200 and 230 words).

My answer: The sound machine is a three feet long, heavy black box, with three dials in its front. It has a button that moves a needle across a large central dial, like the wavelength dial of a radio. This dial is marked with numbers that start at 15,000 and goes up to 1,000,000. Besides, it can be seen the movement of the machine inside t

Your Own Soul

When to say yes

When to say no

When can I be my best

Or should I just let it go

Where is the pot of gold

Where is the sweet honey

What does it take to be BOLD

On this bumpy road journey

Does it always have to be rough

Why can't it be just like an innocent laugh

Does it always have to be borrowed

From the casting shadow of tomorrow

Yes! You can clasp a hand of hope

No! Don't expect it's gonna be cotton soft

You've got to pull yourself together

Believe without fail,

That things will always be

Lumbering feet across the pain,,

dropping tears were wiped out by the rain..

the kid was a beggar....

She cried out in miserable roar.. 

Dear Majesty...

Did not you think our misery ?

Relapsed into a silence

None knew what had happened.. 

pzzzzzzzzzz....

I will revise this poem lol

Do you know of Doraemon? It is a famous Japanese manga and the main character's name. He is a futuristic robot that looks like a cat and came to Japan from the future in order to help an unreliable child named Nobita. He is always bullied by his classmates but doesn't fight against them, instead he asks Doraemon for help. Doraemon has a lot of futuristic machines. For example, the Takecopter is a futuristic machine that looks like a bamboo-copter and you can fly through the sky by putting it on

Shush! Zoom! ‘Beep, beep’. Meow! Buzz. Hum… Before you think I’m writing like crazy, kindly read on my blog. Are you familiar what a dog’s bark can sound like? How about the sound of an airplane hovering around the port or perhaps the rustle of the wind and trees? Have you guessed the topic already?

Tweet, tweet! Any idea? Swoosh… That’s fine. Those highlighted words above are sounds (and other examples such as screech, ‘woof, woof’, ‘honk’ and ‘oink, oink’) are called onomatopoeia. Ono what? It

Who asked you to be friended with stranger in in the deserted course?

Who asked you to consider the mere simple talk very special?

Who asked you to consider it as the special emotional feeling.

Who said to you, listen O doll of wax!

That you could find in mere company of a few stepping together

any Majnoon, any Raanjha, any Romeo, any beloved.

Who said that merely travelling for just one or two steps company

One becomes the life partner.

And now he is gone, so why crying on such absurd feelings.

How messed you have made your life up! I warned you it is a fire, it would burn you.  Love………. true love does not exist, and if exist it is hard to find. But you didn’t give a heed go my advice. Now, look what a mess you have made! What an idiot I have been wasting energy to advise you. She has gone, left you lingering between reality and imagination. It would have better if you have understood.  How strange it was, you didn’t believe me, me your close friend, on the contrary, you believed her,

Good morning, everyone! :)

Borrowing the quote from Adaline, "Knowledge has no value unless we use and share it", I would like to discuss about grammar.

In this session, I will discuss 'Causative Verb'. From my observation, it is one of the grammatical mistakes commonly made by learners here. Please just ask OR tell me if you have any doubts.

'Causative verbs' is used when one doesn't perform the action himself/herself, but someone else/something else does it. There are 5 causative verbs we would d

Lonely night.

I am alone here in my bed.
There is a lonely night ahead.

My biggest fears, I try to cope.
And I don't know if there is hope.

The lonely night makes dark the sky.
There is no moon the clouds are high.

Where are the stars? Where is the moon?
Also, the wind has fallen swoon.

While watching to the silent night,
comes from the sky a dazzling light.

It comes me close and smiles at me.
I take a breath and feel so free.

As lonely as the night might be.
With this bright light, the worries flee.

Heyy you! Dare to love someone??
Ohh, NO!! In this case, you'll be in DANGER.
Yeah, he's so HANDSOME.
He could be GOOD, SMART, or whatever...

You know you'll be in DANGER,
but why you keep going on??
I told you not to go to THE SEA.
You CAN'T SWIM well there.

You said you're ready for that?? O.K.

(day by day passes)

Are you happy now? I can see your smile,
I see you are in love each other.
But, what about next??
Have you ever thought about it??

Okay, I wish both of you will always be happy.

Previously EC offer daily or weekly some writing prompts inviting learners to practice their writing/blogging on the topic.  This writing prompt has now been discontinued.  I have written blogs on those writing prompts, the following is one of them being rewritten here for your interest:

Hi All, Nice to see you here again. 

Just think you have $1000 in hand. This $1000 is money left with you after meeting your expenditure. I took $ 1000 as an example of easy calculation.

You went to market asked about the cost of the apple. You found the cost is $10 per kg.

With the money in your hand, you can buy a 100Kg apple. 

You kept the money in your home safely. 

The exact same day of next year you went to the shop again asked the cost. You found the cost increased to $15 /per kg. Now you can'
