hey guys, how are u doing?...good job, for a day I was totally out n a page has been added; great
thank you
but i HAVE A SUGGETION, I think it would be better if u could have a sorta writing,, complete writing better to sau; Just answering the questions may not be helpful if u long to improve yr English unless u answer them sorta completely n long but anyhow, have an organized writing will be much better...
n I think, first it's a good idea to start with these short n small writings then we can go thru it more seriously n we can learn a standard writing, hmm?...


Hi dear sepid,good teaching i like it:10:
your suggestion is great but do u suggest any special book to follow after dealing with these kind of Qs???

I finished it for 3 times ... ... how days.....I played max payne 2 too ...It is not as good as version 1 .... do u know why version 3 doenst publish ?yes i know.
The game developer is working on the Alan Wake right now and if you follow the news of the Alane Wake must know it is one of the best games in future and it will be a masterwork .
I think Remedy wanna make the third version of Max Payn next than Alan Wake.
you can read this news about Max Payn 3 . its not a new news but is a good analysis ...

برای مشاهده محتوا ، لطفا وارد شوید یا ثبت نام کنیدits like a rumor more ...
the version of article :

What we heard: During a presentation to analysts in March 2004, then-Take-Two CEO Jeffrey L. Lapin lamented "poor" sales of Max Payne 2, blaming them for his company's lackluster earnings. He then promptly announced his company's intention to make another installment in the series. "There'll be another Max Payne," he told attendees of the 17th Annual Bear Stearns Media, Entertainment and Information Conference. "I think we'll take a few years to make the next one that much more spectacular is what we have to do. But it's clearly a brand that everybody knows."

Since then, a few years--four, to be exact--have passed. During that time, Take-Two released the best-selling game in its history, endured a massive scandal, saw a stockolder revolt, and became the subject of a takeover bid by Electronic Arts. After Original Max Payne developer Remedy began work on the 360 and PC title Alan Wake--which has been almost as elusive as the next Max Payne game.

After a prolonged silence, Take-Two name-checked the series again during an earnings call on September 11, 2007. "In addition to Grand Theft Auto, our roster of million-plus-selling, wholly-owned brands includes BioShock, Civilization, Midnight Club, Max Payne, Red Dead Revolver, Manhunt and Bully," CEO Ben Feder said. "We fully intend to leverage these products, which are on development cycles that should complement and counterbalance each other." (Emphasis added.)

Nor did the publisher's deliberate ambiguity stop an analyst from asking CEO Straus Zelnick about the game in a postearnings conference call today. When asked directly about when the Max Payne--which is currently being adapted into a film--would reappear in game form, Zelnick dodged the question--but also left a tantalizing hint. "In terms of Max Payne, we will sell no wine before its time. It's a little early to comment on any particular title," he said. "But we have a lot of interesting things going on."

The official story: Given Rockstar Games' semiautonomous nature inside Take-Two's corporate structure, Take-Two reps passed along GameSpot's inquires to the New York-based publisher, which had closed for the day. However, it's worth noting that in the same phone call, Zelnick promised "sequels to some of Rockstar's AAA titles" were set for Take-Two's 2009 financial year, which begins on November 1--leading many to speculate Max Payne 3 could be among them.

Bogus or not bogus?: Bogus that Max Payne 3 has been announced for 2009. However, the fact Take-Two has repeatedly said there will be a new installment in the Max Payne franchise makes it seem like there will almost certainly be one...eventually

Eating Out part 6
How often do you go to restaurants?
I go quite often, maybe once a week.
Me too. It costs a lot of money though.
Yeah, it is too expensive to eat out all of the time.
I usually cook at home.
What kind of food do you like to cook?
If I’m alone, I just boil some soup and make a sandwich.
That does not seem very interesting.
I know. But I do not feel like cooking a big meal for myself.
What about if you invite friends over?
If I invite a friend over, I usually try to make something special.
What kind of things do you make for a friend’s comes over?
It depends, it might just be a salad and steak. Sometimes I’ll try to cook a ? meal.
Steaks are easy and always taste good.
I’ll usually open a bottle of wine with the meal.

I like all kinds of restaurants. I like Chinese food, Italian food, sushi, steaks, all kinds of food.

Hey! Hi :D
Nice topic. I like to take part in it continuously but I'm not if I can or not

and my writing: l



Computer Games

Once upon a time there was a little girl who sat at home and spent hours and hours playing Super Mario, alone or with her brother. And she bragged about how many mushrooms she could collect during this amusing game!! Little by little she grew up and became familiar with PC and computer games and she continued to play Aladdin and Hercules until the age of The Sims 2

yeah! That was my past time along computer games. I think all the children and teenagers in a period of time have had the experiences of playing some computer games but when they grow up, some of them continue to play and some of them leave it completely
I used to play some computer games as a child till the age of a teenager but I'm not interested in them, anymore. I'm not one of those people who sit at home and play video games, for me, reading a book or surfing the internet is much more interesting pastime.

Although I don't like computer games and I can't stand spending hours just playing games, I think it can be useful in some cases. First of all, it gives you the opportunity to experience some situations that you can't have them in real world. The other important thing is that it makes you exited! Moreover, it can be a new way of learning, English or something else.
Computer games can be really harmful too. For instance it can be waste of time so that avoid children/younger people from their education or can make people seclusive and separate them from them society.

These days video games are not just a hobby for children for their leisure time; video games are such a big industry all over the world. Just look at some big companies like EA or UBI.
For example we can see Tom Clancy, the famous American author who has written some story games, or take a look at some movies which came from their game, such as Max pain, Tomb rider, Resident Evil, etc

At the end of the story, I think every thing you like can be good for you until you are not addicted to it. Computer games have some advantages and disadvantages and it depends on you how to use it! l



p.s: I’ll be glad to know my mistakes, especially the grammatical one! l

wow, dear Karin; that is really nice having u here:11:
it was an absolutely a great writing
just I think, I'm not quite sure after 'so that' we have to use a complete sentence so :
so that avoid children/younger people: so that it avoids/prvenets people from...
by the way, I think prevent is a better choice in here

video games are such a big industry: video games are such big industries
yr noun 'video games' is plural so after such u should have used: industries

let me to put my writing and then you can talk about the next activity:10:



uhummm....uhummm:5:
Let me to tell you about my childhood. When I was a little child, I used to play games a lot. But not with computer, I played with micro and Sega:34:. I used to play a lot in summer. I remember some days that I played at least 5 hours a day playing just one game. I always had dream of having a computer for playing computer games when I was a child. But when my dad bought a computer for me I attracted to other things of computer and I forgot all of my dreams about playing computer games.
But lately I came back to my childhood memories and sometimes I play racing games like Need for Speed Because I really love cars. Sometimes when I drive my father’s car in the street I confuse the real street with the street in the game:16:. But I don’t play with computer a lot. I play once in a blue moon:31:. But I prefer to do real and dangerous sports (Fara360 knows what I do:27:) instead of sitting behind the computer and staring to the monitor.
By the way I don’t play the computer games.

computer games
All of us may have experienced playing some sort of pc games and they left us some joyful memories. As a teen, I played lots of video games on ps2 and I liked that. But the most third person player and action adventure.
I set aside some times, around 3 or 4 hours to play individually or with my brothers.
Unlike its pleasurable moments, that could have some harmful effects on teens. He/she sometimes plays hours and at last they may addicted to it unintentionally. As a matter of fact, I just sat in front of the set and played to fill my spare time and to have fun by experiencing and solving some puzzles at those games. Fortunately, I managed to control myself to not to addicted to it, though.
One point that I would like to mention is that playing games could be a good way to improve your English vocabulary and it works for me because vocabularies must be known if there are puzzles at the game which you play.
Here are some games that I liked them the most: Parasite Eve 2, Fahrenheit, Fatal frame 3, Dream fall, Silent Hill 3 and 4.
Now I am so busy to play and I think it is waste of time to me. On the other hand, I would like to experience Wii set just for fun.
Correct my mistakes if there is any, PLZ!!:11:

hi
Well, I don't play computer games often,
basically I know nothing about them, but what I do know is that if you play computer games for too long, it'll be harmful to your health, at least gazing at the screen for too long does harm to your eyes.
But if you play computer games properly(I mean the timing),according to some reasearches, it'll benefit your IQ.I guess so.

Hi guys
As you see the studing schedule, we should do the reading activity on Saturdays and Sundays. Brain asked me to put the story blow for you today.
For starting this activity, we put a story like what you see in this post. Then we will talk about the story. If studying the reading in this way works, we will continue this method in the next weeks too. To improve this activity, try to send your ideas to Brain or me by private or public massage.


The first reading activity

The Way to a Man’s Heart
Lina often asked Luke to dinner. Lina loved Luke, but Luke loved Lina’s cooking, not Lina herself. Lina accepted that for the time being. But she felt that, with enough meals and enough time, she would get her man.
Luke rarely stayed more than ten minutes past the last bite of dessert. Lina would ask Luke if he wanted to watch TV, or play cards or chess, or take a walk around the neighborhood, but Luke always declined. He always said, “I’ve got to go.” They both knew that Luke didn’t have to go anywhere. All he ever did was go back to his apartment and read books or go online.
Tonight was probably going to be more of the same. But Lina was a patient woman. She loved to cook, and she loved to watch people eat her cooking. Tonight she prepared shrimp, fresh green beans, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Luke ate everything with gusto. Then she brought out her homemade cheesecake with vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Luke asked, “Are you trying to fatten me up for something? Every time I come over here, I have to eat celery and lettuce for a week to get back down to my normal weight.”
“Oh, stop exaggerating,” Lina replied. “You enjoy every mouthful.”
“You’re right. I apologize. I love your cooking, and if you didn’t invite me over here, I’d be hurt and hungry.”
Lina watched contentedly as Luke devoured the cheesecake and ice cream. Someday, she thought, I will be his dessert.

Hi guys
As you see the studing schedule, we should do the reading activity on Saturdays and Sundays. Brain asked me to put the story blow for you today.
For starting this activity, we put a story like what you see in this post. Then we will talk about the story. If studying the reading in this way works, we will continue this method in the next weeks too. To improve this activity, try to send your ideas to Brain or me by private or public massage.


The first reading activity

The Way to a Man’s Heart
Lina often asked Luke to dinner. Lina loved Luke, but Luke loved Lina’s cooking, not Lina herself. Lina accepted that for the time being. But she felt that, with enough meals and enough time, she would get her man.
Luke rarely stayed more than ten minutes past the last bite of dessert. Lina would ask Luke if he wanted to watch TV, or play cards or chess, or take a walk around the neighborhood, but Luke always declined. He always said, “I’ve got to go.” They both knew that Luke didn’t have to go anywhere. All he ever did was go back to his apartment and read books or go online.
Tonight was probably going to be more of the same. But Lina was a patient woman. She loved to cook, and she loved to watch people eat her cooking. Tonight she prepared shrimp, fresh green beans, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Luke ate everything with gusto. Then she brought out her homemade cheesecake with vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Luke asked, “Are you trying to fatten me up for something? Every time I come over here, I have to eat celery and lettuce for a week to get back down to my normal weight.”
“Oh, stop exaggerating,” Lina replied. “You enjoy every mouthful.”
“You’re right. I apologize. I love your cooking, and if you didn’t invite me over here, I’d be hurt and hungry.”
Lina watched contentedly as Luke devoured the cheesecake and ice cream. Someday, she thought, I will be his dessert.





well, I coulf finally read the story...it was nice; it was too short to be analyzed but:

- Retelling: It was about a lady named Lina who was in love with a man, Luck, n she was trying to grab his heart by cooking for him since he was fond of eating n besides Lina was a great cook.

- Analyzing: well, as I said it is too short to be analyzed but wot crossed my mind was: Luck was sorta greedy n naive; if he had his eyes opened he could catch that Lina is in love with him, but wot he just cared about was Lina's cooking; n besides it is also showing 'Hope'...Lina is hopeful n that can show the importance of 'being hopeful' otherwise she would be kinda depressed rather than being happy n cooking for her beloved one while Luck had never showed any love to her but her cooking

by the way, I could catch some nice expressions:
go online
Tonight was probably going to be more of the same
Are you trying to fatten me up

afsane b
22-02-2009, 13:24
It is kind of Lina to invite Luke for dinner despite knowing that he doesn’t like her and it is cruel of Luke not to spend more time with her despite swallowing her yummy food, if I were Lina, I would quit feeding him:31:


Thank so much for the story

singleguy
22-02-2009, 16:33
Now it’s my turn to talk about the story.
The story is about a couple with names “Luke” and “Lina”. Lina was a kind woman and also a good cook but Luke wasn’t. they ate dinner together but after dinning time Luke didn’t stay with Lina and he preferred to spend his time on line or reading books. In other hand it didn’t Luke’s heart good to spend time with Lina.
At one of the nights Lina became a little angry because of Luke’s complaint about the dessert. But he excused and ate the dessert quickly.
Lina would make Luke happy even she became his dessert because she love him.
Poor Lina.
It was longer than the main story, wasn’t it?: D

Sepid is so right ... as they say in English "been there , done that" ... reaction to correcting mistakes is most of the times : not so hot ... and there's a negative relation between reactions and people's skills ... (=higher their skill , colder reaction[ برای مشاهده لینک ، لطفا با نام کاربری خود وارد شوید یا ثبت نام کنید ]) ...

Why I'm a vegetrain
I'm a vegetarian, and I became a vegetarian about 6 years ago. Erm ... it all started when I watched a television program after school that talked about this vegetarian girl, er something about how in science class she had to dissect an animal, and she really didn't want to. And she refused and therefore got a D. Er and she took this ... she and her parents took this problem to the courts. And they ended up ruling in her favor, so now the schools have to provide an alternative er ... for dissection in science classes. Er but that just got ... got me started thinking about where meat comes from and if I really want to eat it or not. That night for dinner I had a cheese steak. Erm and after I'd eaten it, I thought about it and made me feel really bad. Erm not physically sick but I just ... I knew that it wasn't right for me. And er so I decided never to eat meat again. So I didn't. And I guess my reasons are just that I don't think it's necessary for me to kill animals. So I'd ... I'd rather save more animals.


my first camping trip
well. i will tell you about my experience the first time i went camping. we had_ my daughter had had two tents put up and we had a spot where you put up a cook tent_ which is all netting and it zippers. and we had a place where you could put a camp fire. it was a pretty good-sized plot up in the Vineyard and there they had a little country store there and they had a laundromat for you to wash your clothes in and they have recycling just like all the towns around here in the United States and they have R-Vs. if you don't know what an R_V is it's a road van, yaknow, vehicle over the road where you sleep in it and all. and its back in the pines and i_ we have showers there. you can either go and park where they have all cold water running but_
but i remember the one night we had gone to sleep and my daughter had forgotten to put a cover over the top of the box that had the food in it. well the perfume of the island is skunk flavor. haha. scent. and you can imagine as soon as you hit the island you smell the skunks so that's what it's infested with is skunks and raccoons. and she had forgot to put the cover on the box and they had gotten into the cook tent. there was oatmeal all over the floor. they ate over two pounds of cookies and chewed all the nipples off of my granddaughter's baby bottles. the place was a wreck. but when you stop to think about it you have to laugh because it's really a site and a gentleman that was on the plot next to us a lot, he was sitting there and a mother skunk came with her babies across and they got up on the table and stole his Hershey Bar haha. and if you could have seen this gentleman chasing after this baby skunk just to get his Hershey Bar back. well i'll tell you he did. he got his (hershibar) back. the only disadvantage of camping that i didn't like is because we had to walk and carry water back to the camp. but all in all it was an experience that i have never had and i really enjoyed it.

The best movie I've ever watched

sepid12ir
25-02-2009, 14:08
It's a hard topic, there are so many movies which I do like n which I've learnt a lot from, anyway I chose one of them: life is beautiful

Life is beautiful is an Italian movie which I watched a while ago. A fabulous movie which taught me a lot. I've always been fond of movies with powerful messages. Life is beautiful was sort of that. Meaningful and strong enough to impact audiences. The movie is trying to show that everyone can be happy despite all the hardships and tails. We are all struggling with different kinds of problems but we are not aware that LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. It is proving that life can be beautiful if we look at it nicely, if we laugh at the problems instead of making big deals out of them; If we know the value of love. That is love which can change an awkward life to the most beautiful life in the world.

the man's smiles in the movie may never skip my mind. He had always a gorgeous smile on his face even in the worst situations of his life. Even the very last moment of his life.

Life is too short and good for the people who don't take it for granted and use every moments in the best possible way. l

It's a hard topic, there are so many movies which I do like n which I've learnt a lot from, anyway I chose one of them: life is beautiful

Life is beautiful is an Italian movie which I watched a while ago. A fabulous movie which taught me a lot. I've always been fond of movies with powerful messages. Life is beautiful was sort of that. Meaningful and strong enough to impact audiences. The movie is trying to show that everyone can be happy despite all the hardships and tails. We are all struggling with different kinds of problems but we are not aware that LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. It is proving that life can be beautiful if we look at it nicely, if we laugh at the problems instead of making big deals out of them; If we know the value of love. That is love which can change an awkward life to the most beautiful life in the world.

I cant say that a film is best in my life or forever . there are many great film in history that i hint some of them here ...
one of the best film in history is Heat ! in said film there were two great actor Alpacino and Robert Deniro .
in Heat Robert Deniro Shows a wonderful performance from himself and in my opinion he is better than Alpacino in that film.
one of the others film that i have seen and has been a great film is The Dark Knight.
DK' director is Christopher Nolan who made The Prestige and Batman Begins befor than. Heath Ledger in the said film shows the best performance that i have seen until yet. Ledger dead for DK and for JOKER . Yes He dead for Joker . Joker killed him.
verily GodFather(1) was a grear film . GF made in 1972 and directed by a famous man named Francis Ford Coppola ... Marlon Brando and Alpacino was GF' stars .said film is in secound place in the IMDB list aright now .... !
other good film thet i have seen are : The Pursuit of Happyness , Braveheart , The Sixth Sense , The Shawshank Redemption and ...

now, I've corrected some of yr mistakes, have a look at them n in case there was any question, ask!

many great film: many great films
well, film is countable, u've also used many, after many which is just used for countable nouns, we should use 's' to make the noun Plurar

hint: mention
'Hint' is not an appropriate verb here

one of the best film: one of the best filmsیکی از بهترین فیلمهایی که ...!it should be plurar

in said: the mentioned
فیلم ذکر شده; u've used this phrase a lot, all of them are wrong n u can change them to the mentioned

one of the others film: an other movie that I've seen

that i have seen until yet: that I have ever seen
whenever u want to say: ّبهترین/بدترین و ...، چیزی که تاحالا دیدم/شنیدیم و ...:
the best/the worst/the most beautiful/whatever + that I've ever+(p.p of the verb)

Hi
Yes.:27: You’re right that it’s hard to talk about the best film I’ve ever watched. But our purpose is to improve our English writing.
I confused because I don’t know which film I like most[ برای مشاهده لینک ، لطفا با نام کاربری خود وارد شوید یا ثبت نام کنید ]
But I want to talk about one of my favorite films played by one of my favorite actors.
What Dreams May Come is one of my favorite films that Robin Williams is the first cast in that film. This film is a kind of drama fantasy and romance film released in 1998 in USA.
Chris Neilson is a doctor who marred with Annie. They had 2 wonder children that died in a car accident and 4 years later Chris dies in a natural way and then he goes to heaven. When Chris dies and goes to Heaven he meets Albert and discovers that Heaven is even more wondrous than anything he could have imagined. But his wife is very sad because of these events and she becomes a woman with mental problems and finally she decides to kill herself to go to the next world in order to be with his family. But unfortunately she goes to the hell because she comes to the next world by suicide. But when he finds out his wife had committed suicide, he desperately searches for her spirit, journeying through Heaven and Hell along the way.

thank you so much dear sepid for corrected my mistakes.

He dead for Joker : sorry I couldn't get wot u meant in heremy purpose was : او به خاطر جوکر مرد .
that was wrong , right?



What Dreams May Come
mentioned film was one of the best filmS of Robin Williams . I have to say that there is Cuba Gooding Jr in mentioned film. I like Cuba Gooding Jr play in his films . for example "Radio" was a film that released in 2003 and Cuba Gooding Jr got very awards for his wonderful play.

What Dreams May Come
.



but I have a totally different idea, it was a good movie but the story was really poor! sorta fiction it was n I've never been fond of fiction:46:
Robin William as always was great in this job n wot I did not enjoy was the poor story! those who create these kinda movies are really brave in my idea bcuz they are changelling with lots of people with different believes! anyway, it is absolutely worth watching since it makes u think
I fancy everything which make us think




thank you so much dear sepid for corrected my mistakes.

ahan, he died/ passed away for/bcuz of Joker
Dead is noun noun die is verb

What’s the best movie I have ever watched?
As the other friends said I think it’s really hard to choose just one movie for the whole life so I’m going to write about one of my favorite movies not the best one. Choosing he best one is impossible for me!

One of my favorite movies is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in witch there’s the story of a man who is going to erase his girlfriend from his mind, he is going to erase a part of his memories that includes her. There’s a big company with high technical equipments for erasing people’s mind from their loves but it doesn’t work at all! It’s a complex story witch I can’t explain it, and it’s a complex movie too. It’s one of those movies you should see it more than once to get exactly what are they going to do!

You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story! I think it was the main message of this movie, maybe you can try to forget some one you loved before, maybe with some techniques you could erase all his/her memories but you can’t do anything for you heart and it will still love him/her! l

I was a little in hurry so I couldn't concentrate and write as much as I liked :D

really nice writing:10:
but a suggetion, when u r retelling or describing sth all the sentences should follow the same tense. if it is past tense, all of the should follow the structure of past tense. If it is present tense, all of sentences should follow the present tense.
and for retelling the stories, both past n present tenses are recommended. And present tense is usually used to have more effect on readers
now, yr mistakes:10:
who married with: who married Annie
Marry as a verb does not accept any prep: Marry Sb
be careful, these kina sentences are usually used in passive tense n then that'll be: who's married to sb

Wonder: Wonderful

she became a woman with mental problem: She got sick mentally; she got mental problems; she faced mental problems
yr sentence is not wrong grammatically, but I think it's not actually common

Then trasmit Them to a little island and attach a timer bomb to Their foot and tell Them 1 of u that kill others can gain the freedom key
And syncronic install many video camera in island for a great TV program and gain a big money for him
And for know continuance of this story u can go and see this film :31:

And the next film is Resident Evil 3

Oh, This is really a great action film
I can't too discribe this film
Only short of it's story :
T-Virus prevalence in further points of the earth and many people convert to Zombies
A realization group wanna solve the problem and discovery a anti virus for convert zombies to human again
And syncronic they work on Alis project
Alis is a girl that has a weird power and can kill many Zombie
This group wanna make several copy fom Alis to attack to Zombies
And continuance of the story :31:

Some of movies that i seen and like them :
Tokio Drift , 30 Day Of Night , God Father , ...

the condemn, ya, a great action movie; Although I'm not into action style, this one attracted me n I really enjoyed watchin that
I also recommend all of u to watch this movie:27: n also Eternal Sunshine which dear karin mentioned. as she said it is sorta complicated n simple at the same time but it should be watched several times to be grasped properly:27: a bit hard to feel it
----------
about yr English, as I said to dear Singleguy, u guys should be more careful about the tenses u use in yr speeches n words...
in yr words u haven't used 's' for the third person! He Works...He trasmits; he buys
n if u wanted to use past tense u should have used: he bought, he transmitted

as best movie:as the best movie
whenever u use 'best' and 'worst' dun forget to use 'the' before them: the best movie, the worst novel

First of them: the first one; first of all
bcuz u r just mentioning two movies, then it's better to use: 'the first one'; if it was more than two, u could use: first of all

10 of stark people: 10 stark people
no need to use 'of' in here

jailbirded: who were imprisoned
jailbird is noun n here u had to use a verb

And for know continuance: and for knowing the rest
after 'for' u have to use the 'ing form' of the verb: for knowing, for using n ...! and here the word 'continiue' is not correct, 'the rest' is much better

I can't too discribe this film: I can't describe this film either

syncronic: what is it? I couldn't get

happy studying buddy, never say sorry for the mistakes u make:10:l

I couldn't understand what you said! [ برای مشاهده لینک ، لطفا با نام کاربری خود وارد شوید یا ثبت نام کنید ] you explain more and set some examples:20:?

well, it's not really common in Parsi language, using passive tenses while among english speakers it is really typical. here is the same; when u are describing sb it's better to have:
he is 40 yrs old, and he is a doctor who's married to an architect
here it is sorta description of a person n it's better to use simple present tense so that readers can feel it better. but by just saying: he is a doctor who married an architect; it is like that u r jumping from present time to the past time so that it may not have a good effect on readers
hope u understood; if not I can explain for u in farsi

I prefer not to answer the questions because some friends like afsane had answered the question correctly and completely.
but the meaning of the last sentence is: I'm unhappy because I'm not the relatives of that died woman. because if i was one of her relatives I'd become richer.

Hey Hi



The first one : l

Hello. My name is Stephanie. I teach English as a second language. In the United States we call that ESL. I’ve been teaching ESL for four years. I started it when I started collage. I use to teach on Thursdays and Fridays for an hour and a half every night. Most of my students are from Guatemala and Mexico, although I’ve also had students from Czechoslovakia and Poland. I really enjoy teaching English because it let’s me meet people from other countries and it’s very nice to see how the students progress. I really like it when I spend a lot of time to teach someone something and they finally learn it. It’s very exiting.





and the second one: l



This is why I like living in New Jersey. New Jersey is about sixty percent undeveloped which means we have the Pine Barrens and we have what they call the horse country. We have beautiful areas that look like parts the English country side and we have New York and Philadelphia just like an hour away so it’s the best of world. But the other thing that makes New Jersey interesting is we have the most Atlantic --- of any states in the Union. Just in one weekend I can go to -----like ---- --- different places for that there is a door gate temple in king ---. There is a Sophie center. What else, there is just about every religion you can think about New Jersey and every --- background so that’s make it interesting to me.






The third one was really long I didn't have enough time to do it :D


Good luck

this is why i like living in New Jersey. New Jersey is about sixty percent undeveloped. which means we have the Pine Barrens, and we have what they call the Horse Country. we have beautiful areas that look like parts of the english country side. and we have New York and Philadelphia just like a hour away. so it's the best of both worlds. but the other thing that makes New Jersey interesting is we have the most ethnic diversity of any state in the union. just in one weekend, i could go to a tibetan buddhism_ tibetan buddhist _ like chanting. actually i know two or three different places for that. there's a Dorga temple in Kingston which is a_ hinduism. there is a Sufi center... what else? there's just about every religion you could think of in New Jersey and every ethnic background. so that makes it interesting to me.

i would definitely say that tennis is my favorite sport. uh my parents both played it, played in college. my mum's really into it, and she plays tennis about three times a week at least. plays with the team. and she always has some kind of story about the ladies that she plays with. and uh she goes down to Florida and stuff like that. has a good time. but she kind of uh basically gave a racket to me and my brother, made us kind of start playing when i was around five years old. i've been playing since then. uh she started_ she taught us at first, and then the same uh_ i had a_ ... we went to a swim club called Minisink and the pro there turned out to be my high school teacher. and uh so i knew him for like so long. and he was the same pro_ he's actually the same coach for the men's team high school. and so uh he taught me basically everything yaknow. and i think he's a great guy, but some people have problems with him. but i would play_ played for some high school matches. i played uh Minisink matches. but i played_ like the whole idea is you want to play tournaments that you get points. and you get like a ranking. and you play a certain amount of tournaments a year. so one year, i decided that i would try to do that.

so i started playing some tournaments. and i played my first tournament, and i kicked butt in the first round. i won six one six on. and then i got whooped at the second round, and lost six zero six zero. but that's okay. i still felt pretty good because i lost_ if you loose to people who are better than you, it really doesn't really matter, coz they might have been playing for twice as long as you. some people play it for half as long as you and still a lot better than you. but i mean, what can you do. if you've played the best you can, it doesn't really matter.

but as things uh_ i had to play three tournaments a year. and uh i played one tournament and i lost the second round like i said. and then i was gonna play a second tournament. so i signed up for it, and it was in some place about half hour away form my home. and i got there, and it turned out i was only the second person signed up for the entire tournament. and so there_ the people who ran it were like "do you even want to bother playing the tournament?" and i was like_ "let's it a great opportunity because if i win then i've won a tournament only with one match. so i can beat one guy, and even if i don't, like who cares." so_ and_ cuz you get points for when you finish. so a runner-up gets the points anyway. so i was kind of hoping that the other guy i was gonna playing against was gonna dropout,and just give me the trophy. but he didn't. so anyway we went out and played, and we didn't even start_ we started like way after because i got there for a seven o'clock match. we didn't start playing until like ten at night. it was ridiculous. so uh we got out there and realized that this guy was a lot better than me. so it probably hurt my whole mental angle on the match. so basically he worked my butt. i think it was six two six one. and (xx xx) it was probably over in less than an hour. but i mean who cares, cuz i got my_ i got a little runner-up trophy and got points to be on the U-S-T-A. and the part of that_ they have like a ranking. i think now. i'm probably really in the thousand billionth, or something like that. that's pretty good. and it was a lot of fun, even though i didn't win anything.










Good luck:11:

The Big Apple
[ برای مشاهده لینک ، لطفا با نام کاربری خود وارد شوید یا ثبت نام کنید ]



Do you know which city is the most exciting city in the world? Most of visitors say that New York is the most exciting city. People often call New York ‘The Big Apple’. More than twenty million people visit New York every year. When we talk about New York we think about Manhattan. But New York City has five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.



There are a lot of things in New York to see. If you go to New York, one of the places you should definitely see is Central park, a quite place to relax and get away from the noise and crowds of the city. There are also other interesting places to visit in Manhattan like Chinatown and Greenwich Village. And if you get to Brooklyn you can see Coney Island including The Cyclone roller-coaster, The New York Aquarium, Coney Island Beach, etc.



If you look up in the street the only things that you can see are the skyscrapers. Some of them are really beautiful and modern. Some of them give you a great view of the city from the top. Some of them are world famous. Some of the most famous buildings are The Statue of Liberty, The empire state building and the United Nation Building.



You can buy every thing you want in New York. And some of the people say, ‘yes, and every thing you don’t want, too!’ There are more than 17000 or more restaurants, cafes, fast food shops and food stalls in New York. You can eat in New York every night for fifty years and never visit the same café or restaurant twice. You can also find from every country in the world.



What can you do after dinner in the evening? You can go to the theater or the ballet, or perhaps go to a concert. New York is a nice city for jazz and rock concerts. Americans also like to watch an exciting baseball game. If you want to see a baseball game, go to the Shea stadium, the home of New York Mets. And you van also visit a museum. New York’s museums have the work of some of the world’s most famous artists. By the way you can do something different every night after dinner as an entertainment.



New York is always changing. You can hear noise of buildings going up or coming down all the time. Cars and buses stop and start, and the policeman blow whistles at drivers. The history of the city and something that you can see now, the skyscrapers, the subway, the shops, the museums, the restaurants, and the people themselves are all the things that make New York the most exciting city in the world.











And let me add something from my self. I watched a film last year from New York. The film related to 200 years ago I guess. I can’t remember the certain year. But all the things were terrible. For example all of the people attacked each other in order to kill each other because they hadn’t come from the same place. The main job of most of them was stealing the things and some other things that I can’t say. But look at New York now. You can see the changes in these 2 centuries. That’s unbelievable. And let’s take a look at out country with the age of thousand years. Look at the history of Iran and compare it with the present time. Some days one of the greatest cities in the world was my city and the biggest bazaar in the world was in my city but now…. . Thinking about these things makes me cry in times.



I hope you enjoyed my writing. It was too long but my goal was to improve my professional writing ability. Please tell me my mistakes.

My favorite city that I wish to visit, at least once in my lifetime, is Barcelona, the most vibrant city in the north eastern of Spain. The touristy city for resting and relaxing in spring or autumn. It possesses lots of merits that attract numerous people from all over the world. It has elegant hotels and restaurants, trendy shops and bars, superb beaches, architectural masterworks, famous museums and art galleries, popular hot spots and meeting places, outstanding street performances, excellent climates and the best places for party goers who want to dance all over the night:46:

Hey buddy, since it is the writing section we also go thru the mistakes if u dun mind:46:l
like live: like living
after the verb 'like' you should use either 'ing' form of the verb or 'infinitive' but there is a difference in the usage:
Important
Like + ing: when u r talking about sth general, sth that you like : I like swimming: generally, as a sport I like swimming
like + infinitive: when u talking about yr desire at the moment: I like to swim: it means that at the moment u wish that there was a swiming pool n u could dive in n swim

nobody know : nobody knows
after 'nobody, somebody, no one,some one, everybody, everyone' the verbs come in singular form

to best : to the best
after 'best, worst' dun forget to use 'the':46:l

New York’s museums have the work of some of the world’s most famous artists. By the way you can do something different every night after dinner as an entertainment.



New York is always changing. You can hear noise of buildings going up or coming down all the time. Cars and buses stop and start, and the policeman blow whistles at drivers. The history of the city and something that you can see now, the skyscrapers, the subway, the shops, the museums, the restaurants, and the people themselves are all the things that make New York the most exciting city in the world.











And let me add something from my self. I watched a film last year from New York. The film related to 200 years ago I guess. I can’t remember the certain year. But all the things were terrible. For example all of the people attacked each other in order to kill each other because they hadn’t come from the same place. The main job of most of them was stealing the things and some other things that I can’t say. But look at New York now. You can see the changes in these 2 centuries. That’s unbelievable. And let’s take a look at out country with the age of thousand years. Look at the history of Iran and compare it with the present time. Some days one of the greatest cities in the world was my city and the biggest bazaar in the world was in my city but now…. . Thinking about these things makes me cry in times.



I hope you enjoyed my writing. It was too long but my goal was to improve my professional writing ability. Please tell me my mistakes.




wow, really great n impressive:10:...ya! it's been a while I'm reading about Iran's history! wow. as u said it can even burst u into cry:41:...anyway, I have always told u, u r pretty well in English. I could not catch any important mistake






My favorite city that I wish to visit, at least once in my lifetime, is Barcelona, the most vibrant city in the north eastern of Spain. The touristy city for resting and relaxing in spring or autumn. It possesses lots of merits that attract numerous people from all over the world. It has elegant hotels and restaurants, trendy shops and bars, superb beaches, architectural masterworks, famous museums and art galleries, popular hot spots and meeting places, outstanding street performances, excellent climates and the best places for party goers who want to dance all over the night:46:

I think guys here are in higher level than elementary vocabulary book


Don’t you think so?

yes you're right but I guess there are members in this group who need to start from this book. If not, tell me to choose another book. sepideh told me that the 504 book is a little heavy for the group and I agreed her idea.
but If We study well and quickly, we can finish this book sooner and start studying a harder one:20:.

I don’t know how you are going to study words by this way, since memorizing them wouldn’t be enough, members should be able to use them in writing and speaking in the appropriate way


I've studied 504 and elementary vocab and think 504 is more efficient and worth putting time and effort in

:46:

we've studied 504 together:27:ya, I do remember...I should mention that Afsaneh is really in love with 504:10:
but Afsaneh, dun just consider yrself, there are some guys here who are good enough to go thru 504 but not everyone here n for those who are Elementary, if they just jump into 504 they may lose their enthusiasim since the book is hard with sorta heavy examples. dun forget we were Intermediate students when we started studying 504:46:
And dun be in hurry, Singleguy will let u know about the plans he has in his mind; We are not just going thru the words. there will be definitely some examples n writing along with the new words:46:l
n besides, reviewing has always worked. So I think by studying together we can get a good result even if we go thru some well-studied books:46: n step by step we can go thru some intact books:10:l

Hey guys, what s up? U havent made a decision yet! :31:

Student learning teams
By John N. Gardner and A. Jerome Jeweler
[ برای مشاهده لینک ، لطفا با نام کاربری خود وارد شوید یا ثبت نام کنید ]

From your college experience


Research has shown that college students can learn as much, or more, from peers(1) as they do from instructors and textbooks. When students work effectively in a supportive group, the experience can be a very powerful way to improve academic achievement and satisfaction with the learning experience.

Recent interviews with college students at Harvard university revealed that nearly every senior who had been part of a study group considered this experience crucial to his or her academic progress and success. The list below describes several important activities you and your student group or learning team can collaborate on:


Activities for a learning team
1
Sharing class notes. Team up with (2) other students immediately after class to share and compare notes. One of your teammates may have picked up (3) something you missed or vice versa (4).

2
Comparing ideas about assigned readings. After completing each week’s readings, team up with other students to compare your highlighting and margin notes.


3
Doing library research. Studies show that many students are unfamiliar with library research and sometimes experience “library anxiety.” Forming library research teams is an active way to develop a social support group for reducing this fear and for locating and sharing information.

4
Meeting with the instructor. Having your team visit the instructor during office hours to seek additional assistance in preparing for exams is an effective team learning strategy for several reasons. If you are shy it may be easier to see an instructor in the company of other students.

5
Reviewing test results. After receiving test results, the members of a learning team can review their individual tests together to help one another identify the source of their mistakes and to identify any “model” answers that received maximum credit.

Not all learning teams, however, are equally effective. Sometimes group work is unsuccessful or fails to reach its full potential because insufficient thought was given to how teams should be formed or how they should function. The following suggestions are strategies for maximizing the power of peer collaboration.

1
In forming teams, seek peers who will contribute quality and variety. Choosing only your friends or classmates who have similar interests and lifestyles can often result in a learning group that is more likely to get off track (5) and onto topics that have nothing to do with the learning task

2
Keep your group size small (three to six classmates). Small groups allow for more face-to-face interaction and eye contact and less opportunity for any individual to shirk his or her responsibility. (6) Also, it’s much easier for small groups to get together outside of class.

3
Hold individual team members accountable for contributing to the learning of their teammates.

This course may be the perfect place for you to form learning teams and start putting principles of good team work into practice (7). The teamwork skills you build in this course can be applied to your future courses, particularly those which you find most difficult. National survey shows that being able to work effectively in teams is one of the most important and valued skills in today’s work world.
__________________________________________________ __________________
(1) Peer: classmates
(2) Team up with: get together with
(3) Picked up: understood
(4) Vice versa: just the opposite, i.e., you may have picked up something your classmates missed
(5)get off track: become distracted or lose focus
(6)shirk his or her responsibility: not do the work he or she agreed to do
(7)Putting principles into practice: make someone responsible for


__________________________________________________ ___________
True (T), false (f), or impossible to know (I)

One of the main purposes of the reading is to encourage students to form learning teams
-------
According to the article, a team that includes men and women will probably be more effective than a team with only men
-------
To be successful, learning teams need a strong leader
-------
It’s good idea to form teams of people who have similar interest
-------
In a recent study, virtually all Harvard University students said that joining a study team helped them be more successful
__________________________________________________ _______________________

Consider the issues
Answer the questions blow

Which would help you most? Which activity would help you least? Why?

The authors say that teamwork is one of the most valued skills in today’s work world. Why do you think this is true?
__________________________________________________ ________________________

TEAM–RELATED WORDS AND PHRASES

Choose team related words in the reading to complete the questions blow. In some cases there is more than one possible answer.

1
I enjoy working with all five of my ---------------. Each one brings different skills and experiences to the group.

2
We usually-------------- after class to share notes and talk about the most important ideas that the professor mentioned.

3
Some of my friend like to study on their own, but I prefer a----------------to studying for tests and working on research projects.

4
My learning team was always off track, so we decided to choose a---------------to organize and coordinate our meetings.

5
I know that I’ll be able to apply the ---------------skills I learn in this course to my first job after college

singleguy
14-03-2009, 21:30
my summary:
When students study together, they can learn as much as from the instructors. also being variety between peers' interests can help the team in many cases. keeping the team small is also another way to maximizing the power of peer collaboration. being able to work effective in teams is very valuable in today's work world.

hello everbody!
here my summary but i think it is not very good and not very bad.:31:

have you ever been in a study group? the harvard university reaserch shows that when students are join a team to study they learn more instead of learning from text book or instructors.they are some activities that team member can collaborate on for example sharing the notes after the class , comparing their ideas about reading , and even they can teach someone that he can not do library research and also about comparing their test result with each other to picked up mistakes.i suggest you that if you are a shy to talk to your instructor you can remove it by joining one these groups.but always remember to have only 3 to 6 peers in your group because it is easier to get together after class and choose your teammate from your friends that they have similar interest and lifestyle and make yourself and the others more responresple.it will work.just do it.

This is my summary of reading:

Benefits of team working for learning and some recommendations to make team working more effective

Researches show that people can learn better in groups because there are interacts and collaborations in team working .
Sharing notes and points that your teammates haven t got, correcting the mistakes of each others, doing library search, inspecting result of exams to correct them are some of these interacts.
But theme says that all group working don’t redound to more effective learning too. It s gave a few suggestion:

Try to select your peers from those who have different interests and thoughts with you because there will be less interacts when your peers and you have the same ideas.
If the member of group is kept less than six , its more effective. Because it cause more relationship and restrain someone to shirk his or her responsibilities in group.


True (T), false (f), or impossible to know (I)
1- T
2- I
3- F
4- F
5- I

Consider the issues
This part has the answer of two question ,I think :

I think being able to work effectively in group is the most important thing because speed of our improvement is less in singularity mode and with this world that is going to be more complicated day by day , teamwork is the best and the only way to improvement.



TEAM–RELATED WORDS AND PHRASES

1- peers

Hi, first of all, wish u the best by starting the new year:10:.
Tonight we re gonna learn about Present Continuous and some points about it.
Just dont forget to follow exercises .They could help u to get points better . And plz ask, if u have any question:31:
Have Fun!
:11:



Present Continuous ( I am doing
1 . This tense is used when you are in the middle of doing sth. The action which is not finished yet.

am / is / are + verb + -- ing

I am / am not watching TV.

He
she is / is not working.
it

We
you are/ are not reading this page.
they
more e.g

Maryam is talking on the phone now

Lets go out now. It isnt raining any more
.
Look! That boy is trying to break the window
.
You are not swimming now.

2. The action is not happening at the time of speaking. Consider the example :
:a / Steve is talking to a friend on the phone. he says

I am reading a good book at the moment.
He means that he is in the middle of reading that book although he s talking to a friend at the moment.

b /A: What is your major?
B: I am studying to become a doctor.

:Present continuous can be used with these periods of time

Today / this week / this year / for the time being / at the moment

The comany I work for isnt doing so well this year
.
I see that you are wearing new suit today.

3. Also there are some verbs which make changes. When we talk about changes, the present continuous is used. Including:
Get / Change / Become / Increase / Rise / Fall / Grow / Improve / Begin / Start

Your English is improving.
The population of the world is increasing very fast.

زمان حال استمراری : i am doing
1.از این زمان برای بیان عملی که در حال وقوع است استفاده میشود.
Maryam is talking on the phone now. مریم الان تلفنی صحبت می کند
Lets go out now. It s not raining any more. بیا بریم بیرون . دیگه بارون نمی باره
2. به مثال زیر توجه کنید.
:Steve is talking to a friend on the phone. he says

I am reading a good book at the moment
استیو تلفنی داره با دوستش صحبت میکنه و به اون میگه که در حال خوندن یک کتاب است. این عملی ست که ممکن
است در لحظه گفتار انجام نگیرد ولی به طور مستمر ادامه دارد.

مثال 2. رشته تحصیلی شما چیست؟ A. What s your major?
درس می خوانم تا پزشک شوم B. I am studying to become a doctor.

قیودی که با زمان حال استمراری به کار می روند عبارتند از:
Today / this week / this year / for the time being / at the moment

3. حال استمراری در افعالی استفاده میشود که شامل تغییرات هستند که این تغییرات در محدوده زمان فعلی رخ میدهند. افعالی که در این مقوله به کار می روند عبارتند از:
Get / Change / Become / Increase / Rise / Fall / Grow / Improve / Begin / Start

Your English is improving. انگلیسی شما داره پیشرفت میکنه
The population of the world is increasing very fast جمعیت جهان به سرعت در حال پیشرفت است.

:11:
These verbs such as get, change and improve... shows that sth or sb follows some changes. just focus on their meaning .
get : شدن
improve: پیشرفت کردن
......
As an example:
The financial problem is getting worse.
Normally, we use simple present . if it happened in the past, we would use past tense

Yes. This tense could be used in passive tense
am / is / are + being+ p.p
Somebody is using the computer. The computer is being used at the moment




But I don't think so:31:. because I have some problems with the ways of using present continues.

I think by doing extra exercises u ll get the grammer appropriately:27:
Ya . u re right. It s the rule of reporting a news. in a text report u could see present continuous or simple present.
But mostly present continuous is applied.
Is organizing is correct.

how ideas pop to our minds

um i was speaking with my girlfriend yesterday. and we were talking about how ideas pop into peoples heads. how how people come to think of things. how they are reminded of things. um the brain_ i'm a psychology major. and i took a cognitive psych class. and this is what my professor taught me. the brain works like a network, like a networking system. they are_ it's i guess like a web. and when things_ you_ when you learn new things, you place them some where on the web. and though_ there're networks_ there're connections that are made other things around it. like, you can actually think of it in terms of a physical map where where it's got like stems are coming out of it. like let's say, you're thinking of a dog, the stems right around the dog might be cat, um owner fur and in turn in turn the thing around the cat might be rabbit, cat food, dish and like that, and so and so forth. you could actually_ that's why sometimes like if you think of dog_ if you see a dog you might think of um you might think of your your cat at home. yaknow you might think maybe your cat at home's name was like Spot. and you might think Spot was a dog you had when you were a kid. and it it_ the connections are pretty incredible how and how quickly it happens. uh we're driving home and i saw deer running across the road. and i thought_ and i i realized how how quickly i thought i thought deer and the deer reminds me of a dog, the dog that happened to pop in my head was my friend's. my friend was recently in a plane crash. and that reminded me of something else and just by seeing the deer all this string of this string of memories popped into me, popped into my head. and um... and uh_ huh whatjumacallit... that's why sometimes things pop into your head and that's why, maybe if you_ if you've a trouble thinking of something, you could just think of things that might be related to it. and it will pop into your head because those connections might fire. and um it'll come close to the area where the actual memory of the object that you cannot think of is. if that's clear at all.
Question 1.) Where did the speaker got these ideas from?
Answer 1.) From a psychology class he took.


Question 2.) Thinking about his friend in a plane crash was the end of a chain of thoughts. What did he see that started that?
Answer 2.) A deer crossing the road.


Question 3.) What does he recommend when you have trouble thinking of things?
Answer 3.) He says you should just think of related things, and then what you can??t remember will pop into your head.


Question 4.) How does he say the brain works?
Answer 4.) He says it works like a networking system, or like a web.




Titanic
several months ago i saw the movie called titanic. um... i saw it actually on opening day in the United States, and the the theater was was packed. and... this turned out to be the norm for that movie for a several months. people from all over the world streamed into the theaters to see this movie including uh... people from all over the world. and it was really quite a phenomenon to see how many people_ how many different types of people went to see this one movie. and from reading reading reports about people_ the people who went to see this movie and why they liked it, so many people liked it. uh i was struck by how many_ the_ by the differences in what they found attractive about the movie. a lot of people, especially young people, really liked the love story. and that's what held the most uh for them, the love story between the two main characters, a young ah poor but talented american played by Leonardo Dicaprio and uh... he was from the mid west, and... an uppercrust socialite from Philadelphia who was about to enter a loveless marriage. and of course, they fall in love just before the Titanic hits the iceberg, the ship hits the iceberg and it sinks. but_ and this love story is what attracted many people.
but... from a_ a number of other people were attracted to... the notion of an era_ the end of an_ uh a movie portraying the end of an era. and that's in a way what Titanic is about. the old Edwardian era, the era of manners, the era of chivalry, of uh of women and children first, which were good values which are yaknow values that we admire. but it was also an age of restriction in which women could not necessarily marry the men that they chose. ah... and things like that. so there wa- there was an era of good qualities and bad qualities. and in a way Titanic marked the passing of this era because there were many changes that came shortly after the titanic was sunk. and one of the changes was that people refrain from saying that a ship or something else was unsinkable or indestructible, that people had this idea_ attitude that the technology or the accomplishments of men could be could be made infallible, and indestructible. and this was shuttered by the destruction of titanic.
but one of the other things that people were attracted to, especially japanese men and that's one thing struck me very much, they were attracted to uh_ scenes of people, of men sacrificing their own lives for other people, of men giving up their selves and everything they had, so people they never met could live. and uh this is the thing attracted many many other people. now one can be attracted to one of these things or many of these things, but i think that element of being of being able to be many things to many people, many different things, is really essential for a movie that is going to have a broad base of popularity. and this is why that movie i think has become so popular all over the world.
Question 1.) What major illusion does she think the sinking of the Titanic destroyed?
Answer 1.) The idea that a ship, or any of the works of men, were indestructible.


Question 2.) What does the speaker say was the disadvantage of the era of chivalry?
Answer 2.) That it was an age of restriction when women could not marry the men that they chose.


Question 3.) Why does she think that the film represented the end of an era?
Answer 3.) Because shortly after that there were many changes that brought about the end of the values of the Edwardian era.


Question 4.) What did she think attracted most people, especially young people, to see the film?
Answer 4.) The story of two young people falling in love just before the ship hit the iceberg.


Question 5.) What does she think is essential for a movie to become popular all over the world?
Answer 5.) She thinks that it needs to be able to be many things to many different people; in other words it has to be appealing for a variety of reasons.










Tomorrow we should study the first lesson of the Elementary Vocabulary. Maybe Sepid12ir is going to tell you something about that

no, u should go thru 'the family'
dictionary practice is just sorta trying to make learners familir with the usage of dictionary n how to look up the words...of course there should be a small practice for new learners how to use a dictionary but since u are almost familiar with the whole stuff about dic u should go thru the topics:10:n I asked u to cover two units bcuz that's a duck soup...really easy n it is just a review
happy studyin:11:l

Lesson 2
Present Simple ( I do )

1 . This tense is used when you talk about things in general. Something happens all the time or repetedly, or that something is true in general.

I / you / we / they + drive / work / do etc
He / she / it + drives / works / does tec

example:

I usually go to the movies at the weekends

He eats launch at 12 oclock everyday

Notice:

I work but He works ......... they teach but My sister teaches

2.We use do / does to make question and negative sentences

example:

I go to the movies at the weekends
Do you go to the movies at the weekends

He eats launch at 12 oclock everyday
He doesn't eat launch at 12 oclock everyday


Notice:

He works but Does he work? .......... She teaches but Does she teach?

3. Present Simple can be used with these periods of time


every + (year-day etc)
each + (year-day etc)
during + (a day etc)

I go to bathroom every other day

4.Present Simple can be used with these adverbs of frequency

ever-never-always-usually-often-sometimes

مثال:

I usually go to the movies at the weekends

He eats launch at 12 oclock everyday

نکته:

for example could you answer the questions blow?

which one is more common for telling a report or in ads?
Simple present or present continuous? :13:

Which one used in news paper headings? simple present or present continuous? in last grammar lesson I found some ad headings with the Present continuous while I've just found a news paper heading with the Simple Present. for example:
some news paper heading:
Iraq Lost Billions to War Profits
NIGEC Set For Armenia Exports
Malaysians Eager to Invest In Chabahar FTZ
.
.
.

and some ads:
Theater Royal
The Hampton Drama Society is Performing

The City Concert Hall
Simon Lee and Martha Glassen are playing
.

I'm not pretty sure about my answer but I think it mostly depends on the verbs and the events n according to that not only simple present or continious can be used but also past n future tenses can be included.
should we use just simple present to tell a jock? :13:Beats me!
------


When I listen to English reporters who describe a sport mach on radio or TV they always use the simple present while they are talking about an event that is occurring at the moment (at the same time) WHY??????!!!!!!well, u mean while reporting the game or no in the news? if u mean while playing the game they used simple present it's not that's weird, everything can happen in spoken language...I actually have never paid attention to that, I gotta ask or some other experts can explain it here but I think grammatically it's not correct to use simple present for the action which are happening at the moment.
I'm sitting, I'm typing n I'm listening to music!..
anyway, not sure, I try to find it out:10:l

What do you think of my hair? or What are you thinking of my hair?
2
you look great today or you are looking great today

3

Are you enjoying your meal? or Do you enjoy your meal?


[/quote]

some english verbs have stative meaning n they are mostly used in simple present; such as 'like', 'taste', 'smell' , 'love', 'like' , believe' n ...l
I try to search more about the questions which were above my knowladge n let u know the answers

Hi my friends :10:
I wanted to be the first one to do this homework!:46:
Part 1: about using new words in sentences

Sara is Ray’s daughter and Ray is Bill’s son , so Sara is Bill’s granddaughter.
Kit is Bill’swife and Kelly is Bill’ssister, now Kelly is Kit’ssister-in-law.
Evan is Kelly’s son and Bill is Kelly’s brother so Evan is Bill’s nephew.
So Evan is Ray s cousin! Hey guys can u image this family in your mind because i got confused!!:blink::31:

Part 2:
Present continues:
A: Listen ! Can u believe that! I saw Shila (my last classmate) in cinema!
B: Oh did you? What is she doingthese days?
A: She is at university.
B: What is she studying ?
A: She is studying English at Hafez university .
B: Is she enjoying it?
A: Yes she is ,she said its her favorite course !:thumbsup:

Present Simple :
1.He seldom smiles flowers because he has allergic whit them.
2. Because of his hearing loss, he scarcely hears sounds.
3.My brother doesn’t know how to play guitar.
4.What do usually do in the evening?
5.What kind of music do u like?
6.She complains that her son sometimes doesn’t listen to her .
7.I often go on studying trip.

Part 3: writing about Norooz:
Because of my expert exam in khordad , this holiday I just stayed at home and studied my lessons! This was like a konkoor after 7 years again ! ;) so I didn’t have any exiting expert for this writing !
book جشن های آب But I read an interesting subject about norooz in .
and i like telling u : u know Norooz is a historcal ceremony since Babelies
and the reason of using the number 7 is for holy of this number. Number 7 pointed to 7 angels that people believed they come from sky and investigate to people’ s act .although some scientist believed that maybe Haftsine was really Hatfshine! Because people make 7 things from Shin on that time such as sugar and milk and sweet and etc.
(شکر شیر شیرینی و...)
They prepared them in to 7 sini so it named Haftsini and as the time went it change to Haftsine!:D

i hope u become more intrested about our historical events in our country and study more about them!:D:11:

I think you can use noroz to think about something you did in last year and something you want do in this year

Oh sorry



Hey dude, happy new yr :11:...hope u enjoy the rest of the new yr n do fabulous things
I just visit my family & search in web for download music & film: to download music and movie/films



every thing change: everything changes--->the words like 'everything, everybody, everyone, someone and somebody' should be treated like a third person so dun forget the 's' of third person for the verbs which come after them



these thing: these things ---> after these /those u should use plular nouns

ourself: ourselves



want do: want to do---> want is an infinitive verb so a verb comes after it you should use 'to' after 'want'l


i have a nice nephew i call him dodo but his name is sasan

he is similar to his grandmother

i have twele cousins & have two aunts

i don’t have wife but i hate of mother in law

so i’m searchig for a girl that(who) don’t(doesn't) have mum

i have a beautiful cousin

she marrid last year so my aunt have a INCAPABLE birdegroom

i said from many years ago that donkey eat good apple ago but i don’t believe that until this happen:18::27:



I hate of mother-in-law: I hate mother-in-laws--->after hate there is no preposition: hate sth


my aunt have: my aunt has--> aunt is the third person so instead of have, u should have used 'has' l

What have you done in Norooz
