A Short Story

The Mouse trap !

A Mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. "What food might this contain?" He was devastated to discover it was a mouse trap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. "There is a mouse trap in the house!; there is a mouse trap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it." The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mouse trap in the house" The pig sympathized but said, "I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse, But there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured that you are in my prayers." The mouse turned to the cow. She said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you. But it's no skin off my nose." So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mouse trap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she did not see that it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well. She died; And so many people came for her funeral the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. So next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it doesn't concern you, remember that when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and be willin.

Rules Of Friendship

«Rules Of Friendship»

       If you want to have a respectful and unbreakable relation you and your friend should follow several rules. In this part I explain basic rules of friendship (of course in my opinion): The first and important rule is Honesty. Honesty is cornerstones of a relation. If there is no Honesty, there will no friendship. The second rule is Respect that is mutual. In a relation if your behaviors be polite and respectful surely polite and respectful behaviors will return you. The third rule that help you to form a heaven friendship is Forgiveness. In some situation if you do not forgive your friend or inversely unfortunately your friendship will break. The fourth rule say: you should Confided your friend. Also your friend should be a trusty and secretary which you can tell him your chat. Yes, Honesty, Respect, Forgiveness and Confide are basic rules of any relationship and regard to these rules prompt to have a strong and impenetrable friendship.

My paragraphs

Hi my friends.

Please forgive me for tardiness. I was on a trip so I couldn`t do up to date blog. But in this part I provide two paragraphs that I presented them at my class. Surely these paragraphs had some mistakes that my professor Mr. Ghoreishi corrected them. I wrote mistakes italic and corrected forms of them in parenthesis at follow.

First Paragraph

How Improve (to improve) Writing Skill

       English students need to improve writing skill. Writing skill helps you to connect other (to other) people around the world. I suggest several ways to improve your writing skill. First ways is copy a short passage from paper and write on scratch papers over and over formal (in formal) and informal situation (situations) and use a dictionary to check the meaning, pronunciation and spelling. Second way is Dictation Exercise. In this way you should get a friend to read out a text of newspaper or a magazine and you write then check your writing. Third way is so fun and useful – I use this way – Create a blog on the web. You create a blog in a blog provider such as www.blogspot.com and write a dairy about your life. The last way is find (to find) an E-pal. If your E-pal be native is so better. You can chat with your E-pal with using a messenger service like Yahoo or Google. Of course these ways improve your writing skill as an English student so much.

*************************************************

Second Paragraph

Good Teacher

       Teacher is a person that teaches in a school or a collage. In my opinion a teacher should be so patient, because He or She will face with many different people in ages, cultures and behaviors. A good teacher who is that be intellect (intellectual) that could answer to the students’ (the students’) questions (Sure in His or Her field). Also a good teacher should be polite. I believe if a teacher treat good and politely surely He or She will treated good and politely and vice versa. Also if a teacher be (is) up to date and give to students new information will be likeable. So these features help a teacher will be effective and dear.

In addition if you have similar paragraphs that think be useful please send to me that I use them in blog.

Poerty # 1

And a John Dickson`s poetry .

THIS MORNING

I am shaving.

And the sallow-faced man next door is shaving. And the man whose life will be changed

when a girl talks to him in the subway,

and the president of Revco Steel—

they are shaving.

And the man who will capsize in a boat today

and breathe in the pure water of the lake

and gaze sightless up at the shimmering sun—

he is shaving.

And the man who will commit murder today destroying the only love he has ever known, though as yet his anger is still asleep,

and the man who will return from a day hunched at his desk,

his hair falling over his ledgers,

and the man who before sunset

will slice his wrists over the sink—

they are all shaving—

over the upper lip,

under the sloping jaw,

lathered face and razor in the mirror

but no revelations there...

no hint today.

We will walk out to the cool morning

where newspapers whirl in the wind,

out to the street that holds the buildings together.

But the premonitions are not quite strong enough—

 they rise to the pure darkness of space

or lie beneath the slow wheels of a train.

Dark fears are still asleep in the blood as we walk our ways

and there is no unusual animal behavior

to warn of the earthquakes to come.

sallow : Yellowish & Looking Unhealhy.
capsize : To cause a boat or ship to turn upside down accidentally while on water.
shimmering :Shining unevenly.

hunched :To leaned forward with your shoulders rised.
slope : A surface which lies at an angle to the horizontal.
razor : A small device with a sharp blade for remiving hair.
whirl : To turn around & around.
beneath : Under ( Not good enough).

I hope this blog be useful for you . Your comments will guide me to improve blog Thank you.

Understanding how you learn best may also help you.

There are different ways to learn. Find out what kind of learner you are in order to better understand how to learn more effectively..

The visual learner

Do you need to see your teacher during lessons in order to fully understand the content of a lesson?

Do you prefer to sit at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people's heads)?

Do you think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs?

During a lecture or classroom discussion, do you prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information?

!Learning Tip - you may benefit from taking part in traditional English lessons, but maybe private lessons would be better.

The auditory learner

Do you learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say?

Do you interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances?

Does written information have little meaning until you hear it?

!Learning Tip - you may benefit from listening to the radio or listening to text as you read it. You could try reading text aloud and using a tape recorder to play it back to yourself.

The Tactile/Kinesthetic learner

Do you learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around you?

Do you find it hard to sit still for long periods?

Do you become distracted easily?

!Learning Tip - you may benefit from taking an active part in role plays or drama activities.

Other English Learning Tips

Travel to an English speaking country:-

England is only a few hours flight away.

Specialist holidays are available to improve your English.

Take an English speaking tour or activity holiday.

Spend your time on things that interest you. If you like cooking then buy an English-language cookbook or find recipes on the net and practise following the recipes. You'll soon know if you have made a mistake!

Keep something English on you (book, newspaper or magazine, cd or cassette, set of flashcards) all day and every day, you never know when you might have 5 spare minutes.

If you are too tired to actively practice just relax and listen to an English pop song or talk radio station.

Improve English Part 1

Hi my friends

I read an article about "HOW WE CAN IMPROVE OUR ENGLISH LANGUEGE"

And I thought maybe it will be useful for you & I decided to provide it in this part

Enjoy it . Source : www.learnenglish.de
*************************************************************************************

My most important piece of advice is: "Do something (anything). If you don't do anything, you won't get anywhere. Make it your hobby, not a chore, but above all have fun!"

Don't be in too much of a hurry. You're setting off on a long journey and there'll be delays and frustrations along the way. Sometimes you'll be in the fast lane and other times you'll be stuck in traffic, but there will also be lots of interesting things and interesting people along the way. Take your time to really enjoy the experience.

There are many ways to improve your level of English, but only you can find the right way for you. Here are a few tips that might help:-

Improve your Learning Skills
Learning is a skill and it can be improved.
Your path to learning effectively is through knowing
* yourself
* your capacity to learn
* processes you have successfully used in the past
* your interest, and knowledge of what you wish to learn

Motivate yourself

If you are not motivated to learn English you will become frustrated and give up. Ask yourself the following questions, and be honest:-
* Why do you need to learn/improve English?
* Where will you need to use English?
* What skills do you need to learn/improve? (Reading/Writing/Listening/Speaking)
* How soon do you need to see results?
* How much time can you afford to devote to learning English.
* How much money can you afford to devote to learning English.
* Do you have a plan or learning strategy?

Set yourself achievable goals

You know how much time you can dedicate to learning English, but a short time each day will produce better, longer-term results than a full day on the weekend and then nothing for two weeks.

Joining a short intensive course could produce better results than joining a course that takes place once a week for six months.

Here are some goals you could set yourself:-

* Join an English course (and attend regularly).
* Do your homework.
* Read a book a month.
* Learn a new word every day.
* Visit an English speaking forum every day.
* Read a news article on the net every day.
* Do 10 minutes listening practice every day.
* Watch an English film at least once a month.
* Follow a soap, comedy or radio or TV drama.

A good way to meet your goals is to establish a system of rewards and punishments.

Decide on a reward you will give yourself for fulfilling your goals for a month.

* A bottle of your favourite drink
* A meal out / or a nice meal at home
* A new outfit
* A manicure or massage

Prayer

LORD
Let me live from day to day,
In such a self-forgetful way,
That even when I kneel* pray.

My prayer shall be for others.
Others , LORD , Yes , Others ;

Let this my motto** be,
Help me to live for others,
That I may live like thee*** !

The one who kneels to the LORD in prayer , can stand up to anything.


* : To go down into .
** : A short sentence or phrase that expresses a belief or purpose
