Crop Art--Rice Fields of Japan.

Farmers create extraordinary rice "murals" in Japan by planting rice in different colours in Japanese paddy fields.

The farmers first sketch out their designs on computers. Hundreds of villagers and other volunteers(!) then help to plant the four different coloured varieties of rice in the vast fields.We can see a wonderful result when diligence and love for beauty combine and merge.Is there anything like this in other countries?

A life plan

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village A tourist complimented the local fishermenon the quality of their fish and askedhow long it took him to catch them.

"Not very long." they answered in unisonWhy didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"The fishermen explained that their small catches weresufficient to meet their needs and those of their families

But what do you do with the rest of your time?"We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children,and take siestas with our wives.In the

Anna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)The portrait by O. Kardovskaya(1914)My Hands Clasped...(1911)My hands clasped under a veil, dim and hazy..."Why are you so pale and upset?"That's because I today made him crazyWith the sour wine of regret.Can't forget! He got out, astound,With his mouth distorted by pain...I,not touching the railing, ran down,I was running to him till the lane.

Just a thought...

It worries me to hear the rising generation using some made-up and lousy words. I couldn't even find it in the dictionary.Technology is indeed getting better, serving and making our lives easier but what is happening to the vocabulary, spelling, grammar and pronunciation of these people?Tell me, if we continue to move on to another century with a better tech, shouldn't that make language better too?

The Outcome

When do you say 'I like'? When do you say 'I love'?I do not say I like teaching English rather I say I love teaching English. When you love the thing you do, you put everything in it, even your very heart and mind. I want the outcome to be the best. Wouldn't you?Imagine doing the thing you love the most everyday. Let's say singing. What do you think will happen?Let me hear your thoughts...THAT my friend, is what's going to happen to your English skills too.

Morning

One of wake-up-early days.It was only 5 when I got up.The sky was still dark, but there were orange clouds.The street was empty which is amazing! No people wandering around talking, no cars making noise, the birds singing, the wind blowing, it's all great here. OK, so the wind was a bit cold, but you should really do this sometimes, you'll surprise. I wonder if my friends is sleeping, some wake up very early, some start to sleep very early in the morning, that what I heard.And I really mean what

Pay day

Hello everyone.When you listen to the words "paid day" something happens that make you feel good. That day you go out to buy something new, to eat out, or to put it on your account. And happiness is not in money but in our society we can't live without money. You need money for your food, for your education, even for you health.

An alien meeting

When I first met him, I was really scared because he was almost three meters tall with two legs but four arms, three eyes on the front of his face and two more at his back, and a tail long enough to sweep the floor.But then he said in perfect english that he wanted to play football and he was looking for a team to do an interplanetary match. Then I said yes of course, when you want.He became very happy and said that he had to get a referee to the match.He said that he came from Saturn that first

It's cool today and I guess a lot of people would like it.Here's today news: Be confident!Of course when you're to act, you can be anyone but when it's not, you should be confident.

Learning English

I think one of the most important elements of learning English is "thinking" in English. Once a person starts thinking in English, it will be easier for him to put his ideas into words. English thoughts could lead us to better expressing ourselves (orally). So typing English words is not enough, or chatting here on MyEC. It is best to think in English and speak in English.Try it and you will see the best results you aim.
