Audio Challenge 1: Bed in Summer

Posted by Nafis on November 29, 2010
Bed in SummerIN winter I get up at nightAnd dress by yellow candle-light.In summer, quite the other way,I have to go to bed by day.I have to go to bed and seeThe birds still hopping on the tree,Or hear the grown-up people’s feetStill going past me in the street.And does it not seem hard to you,When all the sky is clear and blue,And I should like so much to play,To have to go to bed by day?

A Message to Mr I-Basely-Vanished

Posted by deuce666 on November 29, 2010
The weather is just nasty today...it sleets, the wind is sooo strong that when I was walking home I thought it would carry me far away (to some of my friends, may be : Karenina, Anele, Mr.Night, Nida, Mommy, Nadira and lots and lots... for a cup of tea ).Well...such weather just resembles my feelings and thoughts I have on my mind so I just decided it's time to reveal them and may be these words will reach out the right person.It's a message for the one who failed to understand the deepness of a

Can We Live In Such A Wonderful World Like This Video?

Posted by James Shin on November 29, 2010

Can we live in such a wonderful world like this video?

Another word, can we have friends like what we see on this video? If friends are like this, I will be happy every moment with him/her as ‘what a wonderful friend I have!’ and nobody will take away this wonderful feeling from me. They don’t need to say any nicest words for each other but they are just staying together and relaxing each other in comfort. What a wonderful world in nature!

Writing Challenge #25: 7 Secrets to learning English

Posted by Rabab on November 29, 2010
Salaaam my friends,How are you today? Hope you are just fine.Admittedly, I was hesitant to post this blog for many reasons; first I don’t think I am qualified enough to right about “secrets of learning English”. I am neither a teacher nor an advanced learner. Second I am pretty sure that Tara, Expector Smith, Nadira and other member’s blogs with the same topic have thoroughly covered this topic, so I was shy because I knew my blog would be just low quality version from what they have already don

How to Be a Good Online Friend

Posted by Tara Benwell on November 29, 2010
I just realized that I have 999 friends on MyEC. Though many of these members are not active participants in the club, there are hundreds of members who consider MyEC a home away from home. If you've heard of Seth Godin, you'll know that he calls a club like ours "a tribe". We are a group of disconnected people with a like interest that brought us together. Though it may seem difficult to keep in touch with so many friends it is possible to touch the lives of many through blogs, photos, videos,

A Time In My Life.

Posted by Lynne on November 28, 2010
There were a lot of occasions where we were exposed in situations that needed us to make a decision in a flash. Here is a situation I can share with you when I lend a helping hand to take care of my cousin's youngest child (at that time) who was just about 1 year old.I took her with me to visit one place one day. It was a little tiring for me because I have to carry my niece most of the time. I thought, she was just quite small to let her walk so I just carried her on our whole journey. On the w

Thank you, English Club !

Posted by Grace on November 27, 2010
I took this photo for English Club, members and myself.

Back to two months ago, I started buckling down and being more active in English Club. I kept reading, learning articles and grammar lessons, chatting with friends in the chat room, to comment friends’ blogs with the words or phrases I’ve learned. Besides, I took part in some groups such as collection of phrases, MyEC process, and tried to post some blogs though my writing not good enough. From tracking my progress during the past two months

Goodbye my friends

Posted by Nebia on November 27, 2010

For me signing in my ec was seeking knowledge at first. I am still in need for that and I won't stop learning anyway. I am always eager to learn more and more ,and everyday for me is a challenge I take in my learning process. But what I couldn't expect is that my ec wasn't a dead website without life. Inside it, I found a heart beating. Thanks to honest persons working hard in order to make it the best among the best.I couldn't expect I might visit the world simply by clicking sign in to my ec.

The reason why I am a bit frustrated

Posted by juan carlo luna on November 27, 2010
The main reason why I am a bit frustrated is because my progress in learning English is slow.Now why my progress is very slow? I think the main reason is because I don't practice what I have learned. It's like I keep on accumulating knowledge but not using it. In our home I don't use English because all of the members of my family speak Tagalog. They can understand English but they do not use it. So I think I will be needing the help of other members.

Let's Go To The Movies ! ...

Posted by Frank DiSalle on November 26, 2010
It occurred to me that you could improve your English by watching American movies, but I wasn't sure where to begin. Well, I have found something for you: An Introduction for ESL Learners: The Movie as TeacherThe movie guides are language guides, and as such, the words that are included are merely my best estimate of the vocabulary and cultural references that many advanced ESL learners would not fully understand. Obviously, every learner will have a different set of words that he or she already

BELIEVE OR NOT, it’s up to you now.What kind of personalities do you have with your own blood type in comparison with the below description? Let’s see w

First Love at First Sight

Posted by Ohnie on November 26, 2010

Last Friday afternoon (November 5th) was very special to me. I got to pick Sam up from school and got to hang out with him at the mall afterwards. Since I'm a working mom, the privilege of taking Sam to school and picking him up is rare while my in-laws normally do this job for me.

So when I picked Sam up, I asked him where he would like to go. I gave him several options. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mommy, I wanna go to the mall!" So then we went to the mall and there we ate and ran a
