  The celebration of the Feast of the Holy Nativity and Theophany of Our Lord Jesus Christ starts on the evening of January 5 as the church day changes at 17:00 p.m., after the evening service. So the celebration of the feast starts in the evening of January 5 and is continued on January 6.

Adopt a Young Learner

2346102459?profile=originalI was so excited to see that an amazing new teacher joined MyEC today. Greta Sandler inspired me from the moment I read a guest blog post she wrote called Love them Before you Know them. Some people are just meant to be teachers and she is one of them. Just look at the quotes on her profile and you will see that she is one of the world's "greats". Her blog About a Teacher is very inspiring. Why? She shares real life stories.

 

Do you think blogging is difficult? Greta blogs with her young learners

Happy New Year, everyone.

I hope you’d had a nice holiday. For Chinese, the main New Year is actually our lunar New Year, which is going to start from Feb. 2 until Feb. 7 or even more than that. So, we usually can celebrate twice for New Year. Last week, I spent two days of my holiday going to Taipei, which is our capital city, is located in the north part of Taiwan. Hundred of photos I took when I was there, and I picked some from them to share with you here. If you are interested in taking a lo

Small Winter

I have seen in the Internet a picture from my childhood unexpectedly. I remember, the first class and the first winter at school. As all was interesting. Now behind a window again winter. But it has passed more than twenty years since then. I would like to roll down again from a hill on a sledge, to build the snowman, to play in snowballs. But I should go for work and to be engaged in more ordinary affairs. But Christmas is fast, and we again will go out of doors to look at snow, we will light g

How not to die before you get old?

 

Hello friends!!! It’s my first blog. There is a short story that I read in a magazine here.


Chiako is active and healthy. She gets up at 7.00 a.m. every day and goes for a brisk walk. Three times a week she plays gate-ball - national sports - with her friends. There is nothing unusual about this, except that Chiako is 102 years old. She is not alone - there are hundreds of centenarians who lead healthy lives this in Okinawa.

Okinawa is a group of Japanese islands between Japan and Taiwan. Near th

Happiness

What is happiness?

Is it just wishful thinking?

Does it happen just once in a blue moon?

 

Many people have already caught themselves trying to find an answer to those questions. My challenge today is to bring out my own impressions about the issue.

 

We are all acquainted with the misery the world is going through. Natural disaster, hunger, wars, urban violence, disease, unemployment, poverty, corruption, just to mention a few issues. It seems that happiness is something that exists only in fairy tal
