It was March 15th 2012 when our instructor asked me to give my impression concerning the novel “The Return of the Native “. When I finished ,I noticed most of my colleagues moved to tear. I melted away in the sight of their eyes’ tears. I felt gladly the effect of my oral speech on them, and their great admiration overflowed from their eyes . That was so warming feeling to my heart. Then I turned back to my seat.
O Anele , The tape of memories starts to run . It backs to my early months in My EC , Remembered your encouragement. It was the first step which gradually led me to study English language carefully . one day; you asked me “How do you improve your writing quickly ?”And I answered you:
“When I was a young boy . I dressed nice suit and comb my hair and added perfume all that because I would meet my girlfriend .today I arrange my words refine my sentences and beautify my writing all that to meet you through my posts”.
Your encouragement builds my ability to write . today , i see my fruit in my colleagues’ tears .
I want to tell you, I always extremely believe your sayings. I believed your encouragements to me, I did my best just to meet your expectation of me. when you told me that “you would reap your efforts “And you would be good at English.
you have kept inspiring your friends moving forward day after day and year after another.
I acknowledge a heavy debt of deep gratitude to you Anele.

Hi Martin , I decide to publish this article here , because I can presumably say that a large number of you dears might share the same or a similar version of my story.
Martin ,You are the same as me in many aspects ,both of us try to improve himself , both of us have the same great teacher, and we have the same age (here I am lying ).
Comparing with your first blogs, your level is impressive now .I still remember your corrected blogs. They are as hard to understand as my first blogs.
you are not old one ,your brain is bright . I have an evidence which proofs that you are still so young .than; you for your nice comment.
Ohhh...tawfeeq. I admire you. Your English is really well. Mine is still poor. I don't know why...maybe because I'm a "lazy student"
But No doubt. Teacher Anele is great. She encourages me, too...but hehehe....It's very important. My brain is old so I can not remember..lol....
Hi Anele ,
When I say that I am good at English ,that means comparing myself to my early months in EC . absolutely , I am not perfect one , but still trying to be better . Anele ,I will publish one of my first blog in EC ,and at the same time, I will publish another one , after one year in my EC as examples to make good comparison .
However , it sounds contradictory when saying I did not liked English before joining EC, because it was hard for me to understand the grammar and to keep the spelling of the words in my mind , which so often end up forgetting them the minute I close up the dictionary. Probably that’s how it started with a simple spark that had been growing up so rapidly which eventually made me so passionate to go ahead.
I can quite frankly say I have learnt from members’ blogs and comments . I have deeply affected by your comments precisely , which I keep a lot of them up to this moment , like this one :
Anele on fa’s poem
"She must be very special that you hold a significant symbol which will remind you of her in your moment of solitude. Funny to think that even people whom you dislike can also leave something that will remind you of them later on.
I wonder what the poet is thinking while looking at the feather. Is it fair to equate leaving to deserting? Does he know what the bird is thinking and where it will go when the span of time stretches so wide without knowing its whereabouts? If he knows, will he feel how special that bird is?
I read it over and over , and it still moves me as if I did not read it many times .its sentences are short ,emotional just like my sentence , but there is one different .do you know what is it dear ? your sentences are better than mine million times. So I always learn them.
