A Big Earthquake in Indonesia

I have heard that a big earthquake and tsunami occured in Indonesia two days ago and many people died. I feel sorry for them and their families. I knew the threat of big earthquakes and tsunami because they occur in Japan at times. A very big earthquake occured in Japan at 3 p.m on 11th March in 2011. Many people died by being crushed under collapsing houses, buildings and landslides, and by being washed away by the tsunami. About 17500 people died owing to this earthquake.

“So many books, so little time.”

"I like reading. I prefer not reading on my computer, because that makes whatever I am reading feel like work. I do not mind reading on my iPad."

Neil Gaiman

Blogs

Hi Everyone!!

  I hope you all are having a great day!!  I would like to give some info when it comes to inflammatory blogs.  The only thing in place at this moment to deter this kind of thing is the report member button.  Moderators can only do so much.  We are volunteers and we have families and lives that are not a part of EC.  We would like to have the option of being here when we are needed, but sometimes that can't happen, due to time differences or just life in general.  So when you see a

The Proofs

There was a man who worked in an office. He often came to work late, though it was still in tolerant limit. He also went home hurriedly once the working hour ended, at the last second. But oftentimes, he would come back to office after an hour to work overtime.

Everyone in the office was wondering what was wrong with that person. They investigated him. One found that he went to the hospital in the morning, so did the other find in the evening, after work. They discussed about the 'proofs' they sa

If you choose a subject or a proposal which is too difficult, you may never prove what you nee

What is Music for You?

What is music for you? Music is necessary for me and is always in my life. When I listen to the music that I used to listen to in high school, I immediately feel like I have gone back to that time. When I listen to the music that I used to listen to with my first girlfriend, I can feel the emotion I felt at that time. When I listen to the music that I listened to at a particular time, I can remember the emotion and the scenes at that time. We can travel back in time with music. It is a wonderful

GOOD OR BAD MEMORY?

(Picture from thinking.umwblogs.org)

Let´s go further:  you do not know where you put your keys or glasses, do you?  How about names, dates, addresses, phone numbers or even anniversaries or birthdays? Do you remember them without problems?  Well, if you do no

I Miss My OLD FRIENDS

MyEC is the place where I not only learned English but also made awesome friends from across the globe. I once used to be one of the very active members of MyEC and would spend most of my time here. Then I got busy and stopped logging in to MyEC. However, I have always missed MyEC and my friends that I made here. I'm back now but really disappointed to see that all my dear friends are gone. I wish to meet to them all again. 

I dedicate this lovely poem to all my old friends......
