lol........ another sample of proverbs:

throwing stones sitting in the glasshouse one needn´t wonder sitting in the doghouse soon.

"At the 44th minute of the football match, Huda tried to save the goal from the threat of Marcel, but his chest was hit by the leg of Rodrigues. He was still able to move, but then he fell unconscious. A few hours after being brought to the hospital, this goalkeeper died. The victory of his team (2-0) was filled with tears and hysterical weepings of the members and passionate fans of the team in the stadium." (real news, happened in my place, few months ago)

Ridha, a housewife, watched that shock

I lived by myself before I became your mother

I used to pretend to be tough enough to do hard work, wearing high-heeled shoes and painting my nails

Now I cut my nails because I play with my child

I wear clothes that are easy to move in because I work part‐time 

because I am your mother

I wake up at 5:00 am feeling sleepy because I am your mother

I give my favorite food that I should eat to you because I am your mother

I remember train's names because I am your mother

I always take care of you more than

A disappointment is the result of false expectations of something or someone. Also if we don't like to be disappointed, every disappointment always brings us closer and closer towards the truth.
Every single disappointment opens our eyes, but also closes our hearts bit by bit, making us more distanced.
So we should not put our trust in anyone until we feel strong enough to face a disappointment and have learned to accept the pain as part of our lives.
The life is an art and the best teacher. We hav

To me the friendlist here in MyEC is a very good gadget for listing friends and enable them to gather personal information about yourself. You also might share intimate images (intimate not to mean sexual interaction or show off or something) but things you don´t want to be seen by everyone. 

But it is also a chance for people to collect information about one and use them for an attack, offence and insult.

In wise prevision the creator(s) of this site provided us with the option to decide ourselve

I think i've told this story sometime here in the chat; or I've written about it in a comment before. I can't really remember. But now I feel like sharing it here in this blog.

Before coming here, I was member of another English learning site (Italki, but don't even bother looking for it, it sucks now) It was just like MyEC but more active and it was cool till a biggest company bought it and changed everything to make it all commercial: They removed the chat room and the site turned into a very i

Hello there.

I'm on cloud nine at the moment. Let me share you the reason of my excitement. I am a teacher at private language school. I teach English as a foreign language. This morning we (teachers) had to carry out the Pearson Test of English (Edexcel), (LCCI ), (EDI) for exam candidates. Before the exam, by chance, we got an inspection from the British Council officials without any ratting and some of us were questioned about examination regulations related to invigilator declaration and atte

Hi everyone,

I request the highest of fives. :))

We all know the upcoming event, the 2018 World Cup, is being held in Russia from June 14 to July 15. Aren't you so excited for that? I, myself, am neither an observer of any football team in the world nor a football game fan. Anyway, the World Cup event seems to always make almost everybody around the globe be in the grip of football fever. What about you?

The World Cup event should also be an opportunity for us to lift our spirits in learning Englis

I am crawling, grovelling and sometimes, I run, nevertheless, I have been moving very slowly to get to the number one hundred blog. Shame on you Dara! People have already done more than four hundred blogs and you are still creeping to get to your one hundred blogs. If you divide those blogs into the number of years on My EC, the outcome or the consequences would be very disappointing.          

Now, I have reached it but honestly, I do not know what to tell the reader? Now, shall I tell him about

Racism takes many forms and can happen in many places. It includes prejudice, discrimination or hatred directed at someone because of their cast, color, culture (ethnicity) or national origin.

People often associate racism with acts of abuse or harassment. However, it doesn’t need to involve violent or intimidating behavior. Take racial name-calling and jokes. Or consider situations when people may face hatred of certain groups because of where they are from what are their cultural traditions eve

Hello there, EC people! It's been a long time since my last blog here and it really made me sad to know I'm less active than before... really.

But please, pleaseeeee.... don't ever tell me that I'm propagating something or spreading my beliefs, YOU ARE FREE TO BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU WANT if you agree with this blog or not, is not

Yesterday it was a World Book Day. Books make our life more interesting, learn us and bring our souls to new places, worlds and situations.

A long time ago I found that sci-fi books were the best way to start reading in English. Sci-fi authors usually use quite understandable language, good sci-fi books are full of new ideas and you read them not "for learning", but for pleasure. So, here are my TOP-3 books you can read in English:

1. "READY PLAYER ONE" by Ernest Cline. Obviously, you have already

Why do we run away from our fate?

We spend our days in suffer.

Why do you tell us that we are finished?

We are still very young.

During the days, we have become a story

that does not recognize an end

love and affection began and they became a goal

you used to offer me happiness,

when I drown in my tears,

you will also cry from deep inside

we were powerful in our past,

a power that challenges difficulties.

We cut the dark night.

We walk on the trail.

We were a symbol of kindness.

Hi all!!  Sitting here this morning reading over the blogs and contemplating the events that have taken place in EC and in our own lives over the past weeks, a few thoughts came to me.  One thought was of Mr. Josef.  I was basically unaware of him, other than the creator of this site, before I became a moderator.  To me, he is, was and has been the power behind this place called English Club.  He is a very learned man.  I have found him fair, tolerant, decisive, caring, optimistic, sympathetic,

People are being judged by their actions and the way they behave but sometimes the situation makes you behave unpredictable and differently. So is it right to make their own perception before knowing the fact? What I have learnt from life that don't be come to conclusion so early , give proper time to understand the person and then react accordingly. Might be this way you can see the world in different way and can understand people better.

There are many quotes.

Today, I read one of them that I want to share with you all:
