We've already got tens of thousands of members here on MyEC. But it seems we've got only a few of active members here. Then what makes an active member or what does an active member look like?

For me, an active member is active in writing blogs and leaving comments on blogs by other members. They find MyEC interesting and enjoyable; they feel so comfortable with MyEC and will sign in on MyEC first thing tomorrow; they seems to really enjoy writing blogs and leaving comments - they…

Many years ago I could have told you that being a lady was the worst thing to be.The world I was born into made me think being a lady was inferior and thus one had to act like a man.One had to be aggressive in order to be heard.I tried as much to talk like one, dress like one and even act like one.Despite this I knew that something was wrong.I felt that I could not fit in because I was neither man  nor woman.Through many years of hiding in  search of my identity and acceptance became more…

My father and his wife are doing some traveling this month. Their cruise ship made a stop in Belgium this week, and my stepmom shared an excerpt from her travel diary that I thought you might be interested in. The poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae is one that most Canadian children learn in school, and it is interesting to learn more of the history behind it. My stepmom gave me permission to share her excerpt with you. I hope you find this post as interesting as I did. Maybe it…

Hello friends,

My name is Deniz and I come from Baku, Azerbaijan. I'm a university student.

I'm here to improve my English because I love this language and also because I need it…

Hello every one, nice to meet you, and I would like to make friend with all you to improve our English skill, my English skill is so poor, so I am unsatisfied at all.

I spend every night reading novels, after finishing 2 parts of Harry Potter, now I'm reading Twilight. But I think Harry Potter is the best of all. I think it's the only series that I've watched the film , but still find the novels intersting :x

At the beginning of this year, with the encouragement of EC friends, I started to write my own blogs to practise my English writing. Up till now, I have written 100 blogs. MyEC has witnessed dribs and drabs  of my progress on writing.…

It's a rare chance for me to meet with people who want to learn my national language, Bahasa Indonesia. The language is less popular than English or Spanish. So, I won't expect to see many people want to learn it. But, I accidentally found people from various countries who are learning my national language.

They are learning to improve their writing in Bahasa. And we, Indonesians change our roles there. We become the native speakers that could correct their writing in exchange for…

Maybe you have felt or even said,  

"No one visits my page or leaves comments for me"

Is this you?…

       Study?..This word often makes me hopeless, I don't like to study. But without it, how can I achieve my goal, my ambition?. Then I search for studying tips and how to make my study effective and give me a good result. I must know what kind of learner I am. There are three kind of learners, a visual learner, an auditory learner and a physical…

The more I travel the more I realize just how small this world really is. I have lived in many countries in my lifetime. (And yes, I am old, but don't ask.) Each new place is as amazing as the last. Every country has wonderous places to visit. Each country has beautiful and interesting places to…

Hello my friends.

We had a new grammar yesterday. It was about use of "nothing, nobody, anybody, anywhere, ..." . We made lots of sentences. I should write about a festival with this grammar. Do you have any offer for an exciting festival? :D

- “All rise!”

Students all stood up, looking curiously at the new teacher stepping into the class.

“Sweet, this one is a woman!” said one of the students to the boy next to him. It was more than two weeks since their previous English teacher had left. The first thing that waved in the minds of the boys was evaluating the new teacher; the new…
