  Even successful people, living in their great, enormous
houses or block of flats (apartment block), are leaving to their own resources  (devices). And if they find an interlocutor or
soul friend, their communication (personal contact) isn’t lasting long. People continue
to look for contact with others, but they don’t find its…

Along my street for many years
I hear footsteps – my friends are leaving.
My friends’ slow leave
Is delightful to the darkness outside.

My friends’ affairs are unsettled,
There is no music at their homes, no singing.
And, just like before, Degas' girls
Are fixing their bluish feathers.

Well, well, not let the fear wake
You, defenceless, in the middle of this night.
To the deception, mysterious passion,

2346099582?profile=original2010 has been an amazing year for MyEC! We have welcomed so many new friends and are close to 30, 000 members. Remember when we welcomed Punima? She was the 20 000th member. People from around the world flooded her wall with welcome messages the moment she joined. That was so fun! There have been other fun moments in 2010, including photo challenges, Wordless Wednesdays, games, contests, and business chats. We were very sad to see some members go, and very happy to see a few return! I'm so proud

PALINDROME

Do you know what a palindrome is in English?


As I was looking after a word in the English dictionary,I found a word:Palindrome.Wow,what an interesting word,I thought,but after I had seen the Hungarian translation,I knew what is the meaning of the word.


Palindrome:word or sentence that reads the same forward as it does backward.It is a form of anagrams.

Par example:"Was it a rat I saw?", "Step on no pets", "Able was I ere I saw Elba"-(the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is general

Happy Holiday

I heard others said R is going to leave but they will try to persuade him. I feel a little bit sorry. I should have been more helpful , patient and considerate. Sometimes I think it's his job to get accustomed to the new environment. I was wrong. I can't put my thought on him. He is really a nice guy and I will miss him. If he will change his mind, I will try my best to help him next term.It's warm and sunny here. It's best when there's a holiday.Thank u all for your comments : )

Expector's Concern

Hi Eveyone,

 

One more question for you: Now that you know I'm not a native English speaker, do you still think Expector's English is good enough to help you learn or improve English?

 

I know some of the members here are not interested in reading anything from/by non-native English speakers. They're afraid of learning mistakes non-native speakers may make. It's quite reasonable for them to think so or do so. I even suggest reading all the blog posts or comments by native English speakers. I admit t

I wonder about what is the best or important thing in our life? is it the money or the friendship or the love or the tolerance or the empathies or the connecting or what? maybe there are more than one thing, and maybe all of them are important, but there  aren't two things equal each other, so you can classify them as list.
