I smiled broadly and I wanted to share my happiness with all our friends at MyEC.

Advice for a student  in his\her study life

 

  •  Education is the best provision for the journey to old age .So, try your best to benefit from your study years. Because those years will never be repeated again  and in vain you may wish one day  to go back in time.

Crystal Mountain


2346116345?profile=originalOK, I want to continue my trip...)

The next day I started my way to the White Desert National Park...

We booked a four wheel car with a driver. I have to tell some words about our excellent driver! He was a great and very experienced man. Farah (this was his name) was Bedouin by birth, had a good knowledge of desert and knew the best places for camping. He could cook a lot of tasty dishes on a fire (we had a very dinner of three or four courses!!!).

After our start Farah bought different foodstuffs

To meet or not to meet?

Ramona's post on Penpals has inspired me to add up a few lines over here. It's a question that has been bothering me.

 

Well, we all know how cool it is to make friends on the net. We can chat either on chatrooms or in Skype, get to know people a little bit by their photos and also by their profile online. It's a friendship, yet it's virtual.

 

But let's face it - how about the real world? What if we had a chance to meet someone outside the computer screen? Would we trust the person enough for a get

Wednesday

The first week after his birth, on a lumber wagon as a bed, Paul Bunyan takes a nap. But, he suddenly rolls and destroys four square miles of a significant timberland. His parents are at their wits end. Not to cause more difficulty, his parents start building a raft and put it on the coast of Maine. Every movement creates a 75 feet tidal wave. Thousands of British sailors are needed and it takes seven hours straight to wake him up. Again, while he tries to stand up, f

  1. Don't be shy: most of Brazilian students are very shy in the classroom when learning English, and feel insecure because can make mistakes. Be sure that even teachers make mistakes. So, just relax and let's talk!
  2. Read and write in English: try to read and write as much as possible in English. E-mails, invitations, news, story books, novels... if you try, you're gonna have good results.2346118930?profile=original
