ESL Blogs

Generally, it is said, these days are not like old days. Even lots of people like to add, old days were the best days. So, there are many things what we had in our old days, I mean in our childhood or in our young age and now we are missing them. In today's blog I would like to share some of them with you and in return, hope to hear the same from you.

Well, in my childhood there were many play grounds around, big cities to small towns. But, nowadays it has become a scarce thing in my  country spe

Two fun events in summer in Japan are festivals and fireworks. The summer festivals are called Natumaturi(夏祭り). Japanese traditional dance Bonodori is danced at many parks in summer night, where many outdoor stalls sell toys and foods, and you can play games like a shooting gallery and quoits. We go there wearing Yukata, which is Japanese traditional clothing like a light summer kimono. A lot of big rockets are set off on the banks of the stream, and we enjoy them. We also enjoy small fireworks

We were all shocked when our beloved nephew (he was just one month behind his 16th year) diagnosed with an acutely aggressive brain tumor.  Doctors gave him only a few months to live.  I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.  I was totally numb for the sometimes. I was not really prepared for that, really not.  I remember it was one of the days when I was babysitting him in the hospital, he said to me, “mamoo (uncle) I am feeling severe pain……….”  I ran to the attending doctor and asked him to do

She's blooming! What a thing of beauty!

Have you noticed something wonderful today? Perhaps you experienced something beautiful in your surroundings? Whatever it is, here’s a simple expression that native English speakers use when they find something nice and pretty.

An Urban Dictionary contributor defines a ‘thing of beauty’ as something that is favorable, appealing or just plain nice.

It’s true enough that I heard this expression in movies and TV shows oftentimes. From the way it’s been interpret

[Sorry, focus failed, chocolate keyboard :D] I've tried to visit MyEC using UC browser and Chrome on the phone but failed to write blogs or comments just like from PC/notebook. I found the same menu only in Dolphin browser. I can upload photo as well as adding photo comment by mobile phone. Not to mention, type editing.

Just,,, This has a small keyboard. You should be more patient. Can you believe that this blog is made through phone? That's correct. :)) See the picture in the comment. I still us

Last night Anna saw a nightmare and it was like this. She was standing on her balcony in a daylight. Then suddenly a crow flew over there and told her in a human's voice, ''Look, Anna, your first language is not English so I think you are chasing rainbows and I am quite sure you will not be successful! So, my suggestion is you better stop learning.''

Anna became numb for a while but she managed herself and answered forthrightly, 'Hey, what else if English is not my first language? I know I have t

For several months I’ve been writing my blog on a personal level and most of the times I tend to use my words in a subjective manner. I believe that’s how blogging goes as you will transform your language for others to have a read whether your content has a sense or just good for nothing write-ups, but let’s assume what you’ve written is awesomely written. Until you asked yourself, have you ever thought if they are helpful? Is it useful? Will somebody benefit from it? These questions are not onl

Before I die in this hellish weather, here are my plans:

Isn't great that we can say it all with just an image? :P

Thanks in advance for dropping by and being in mood to share silly gifs! (...okay, or just images, that's fine too)

Footnote: This puppy didn't write any essay either and look how happy it is.

Geez... How is that the blog section is so full of spam/advertising stuff lately?  

Not to mention how fast is dropping the activity here... if nothing changes I can't see a very bright future for this site. So, where are all these members who are supposed to like this site so much? Move your as* and write some blogs from time to time before the tumbleweeds start growing; it's not so hard :P 

Japanese companies and even government offices like to make characters. Famous Japanese characters in the world would be Hello Kitty, Mario and Pikachu. Many character goods of them are sold. A company made their character's car. It is very cute. The drivers say that they get tense while driving them because they attracts a lot of attention. It is necessary to have a little bit of courage to drive them.

I am posting this blog as I have been facing a problem of my reading and writing habit. Now, I realize I like to read and write on a computer or a smartphone instead of reading books and writing on papers! I know, it is not a good habit and it is harmful for my eye sight! I saw an eye-specialist (Oculist) recently and he suggested that I do not read from the screen but I can not stop it yet. So, I am interested to  know what about you and would like to ask you where  you like to read and write?

Yes! I know I’m asking too much but I’m only asking for what I think enough to suffice all my needs…yes, guys need not only want. These days, I can’t say it’s a terrible thing but rather terribly hectic, not that I became a big shot though it feels like my brain is over-analyzing almost everything.

When I wake in the morning all I think about is how to manage my time and how to accomplish everything that needs to be done. When I lie down on my bed at night my mind is still working, thinking what

This is on the motivation of Expector's recent blog One blog per week

Never let your any ‘failure’ pull you down.

Life is the river, flows roughly sometime and get calm at some places, blended with successes and failures. Wise are those who do not let their failures pull them down. For your inspiration and motivation, I am giving a brief account of some of the famous people who didn’t let failure drag them down.

Yes, I mean we should try to write at least one blog each week - the more the better, though.

It makes sense because only when you write can you know you still need to make an effort to learn English - chances are, you'll still make mistakes when writing in English. It may seem there is nothing more to learn when you don't write. 

Why not write one right now while you're still here or still hanging out on MyEC? I assume you may have run out of ideas - you're not sure what to write; you're still af

Nature has Its Own Ways to Act:

Scene One:

A traveler was walking through a jungle (forest).  There were thick trees all around casting a cool shadow in the heat of summer.  He was tired and wanted to rest.  He lied down under a tree.  Soon after the cool shadow and the breeze lullabied him to fall in deep calm sleep. 

While the man was in deep and calm sleep there was a slithering movement in a hole near the tree, and there came a venomous snake out of the hole.  The snake saw the man it’s natural
