Hey dear Huzayfa, (is this a good beginning?)
How is everything?
Hope all is well with you.
Here are my first package of questions :D I'd be grateful if you kindly mention the errors and use of inappropriate words.
1- Where are you from? What is your country of origin? (Since your name is Arabic)
2- What is your field of study? Are you a PhD student now?
3- Are you married? If not, when will you get married? Do you have any girlfriends? (If I may ask, I apologize if it's an offensive question or a private and personal one that I shouldn't ask)
4- Do you live with your parents? Any brothers and sisters?
5- You are a Muslim and I think in U.K., racism exists. Have you ever experienced a race-based bigotry, prejudice, violence, oppression, stereotyping or discrimination?
6- Which one is more beautiful? American or British accent?
7- Are you interested in music. What kind of music?
8- I think you are a devout Muslim, aren't you? Do you say your prayers regularly? Many Iranian youth of today don't care about religious tasks. What is your advice for them?
9- What is your greatest goal in your life?
10-Are you aware of Iran's shortcomings, your probable problems here, low wages, heavy traffic, nasty weather, many unrefined people, poverty, outdated and obsolete facilities and undeveloped bases, inflation and so on? I don't want to humiliate my dear country (As a poet said: If Iran is nothing more than ruins, I love these ruins) and also don't want to discourage you from coming here, but I don't want you to come here and after facing adversity, quit Iran with a bad picture in your mind.
Thank you in advance.
Please answer each asker's questions in a seperate post.
I also want to express my deepest gratitude for correction of the sentences. I'd like to ask you not to leave us alone in this forum. We really need someone with your English level in this forum. Your being here is a godsend for us :D
Best wishes
:11:
Hi people
Since I will be correcting sentences here I think I should explain my procedure first. In my classroom I would never return a student's homework with the corrections listed alone. I always give more general comments about their level and progress as well so that the student doesn't get disheartened. So let me say that for everyone who has posted so far, I have had no trouble understanding what they are trying to say.
Obviously Persian and English are very different languages and it is very difficult for a native Persian speaker to have absolutely perfect English. So don't worry too much! These minor mistakes are natural and expected.
mohammad.clergyman: Thank you for your questions. Thanks for explaining about the present too, I will have to think about it!
the hosts OVER here offer a present at the end of the period on the hot chair
? how did you notice this forum
I understand the question but it would be more natural to ask something like 'How did you come across this forum?'
I think I was searching for English language schools in Iran and I somehow stumbled upon this site.
? how did you become a muslim
My parents are Muslim too so I was born as a Muslim alhamdlillah
? what do you think of clergymen
On the whole I like them. I don't think that ALL clergymen are infallible but I think they are a very important element of society.
? are you shia or sony
I am Sunni (normal spelling in English) but I love all my Shia brothers and sisters and the Prophet's blessed family.
? if you come to iran would you let us take a photograph with you
I'm not very photogenic but for you I will make an exception. Yes!
If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it if I could have your yahoo id
I use msn and I don't have a yahoo account. If you would like my msn address, send me a private message
I noticed from your profile that you are from Qum. Are you a member of the clergy? I would very much like to visit Qum when I come to Iran.
Hey dear Huzayfa, (is this a good beginning?) Terrific beginning!
How is everything?
Hope all is well with you.
Here are my first package of questions :D This is my first batch of questions
(We don't really use 'package' for questions..)
I'd be grateful if you could kindly mention the errors and use of inappropriate words
1- Where are you from? What is your country of origin? (Since your name is Arabic)
I was born and raised in Britain but my family is of Indian descent. Most British Muslims are of foreign descent but for the second and third generations, Britain is the only country we know and understand. For this reason most British Muslims prefer to define themselves primarily as British. The situation is similar for most of Europe's 50 million Muslims.
I was named after a famous companion of the Prophet (saw), called Huzayfa bin al-Yamman.
2- What is your field of study? Are you a PhD student now?
Broadly speaking, world religions but more specifically Islamic civilisation. I finished my Mphil in Theology this year and I decided to put off my doctorate for at least a year whilst I travel.
3- Are you married? If not, when will you get married? Do you have any girlfriends? (If I may ask, I apologize if it's an offensive question or a private and personal one that I shouldn't ask)
No offense taken at all. I am used to be questioned about my marital status in the Middle-East! I'm not married and I have no girlfriends. I would like to get married one day but God alone knows when. Are you married?
4- Do you live with your parents? Any brothers and sisters?
Yes and no to the first question. I have spent a long period of time away from London studying and travelling over the past seven years. When I return to London though, I stay with my family. Yes I have many brothers and sisters!
5- You are a Muslim and I think in THE U.K., racism exists. Have you ever experienced (No 'a') race-based bigotry, prejudice, violence, oppression, stereotyping or discrimination
Yes we do unfortunately have racism here. But it is not so bad and it has certainly improved immeasurably since fifty years ago. Towards Muslims in particular, things have got worse since 9/11 and 7/7 but it isn't on the whole intolerable. Some areas, of course, are much worse than others.
6- Which one is more beautiful? THE American or British accent?
British OF COURSE. We invented the language, they borrowed it.
7- Are you interested in music. What kind of music?
Yes. At the moment I am listening to mainly Syrian religious music or 'sim3a'
8- I think you are a devout Muslim, aren't you? Do you say your prayers regularly? Many Iranian youth of today don't care about religious tasks. What is your advice for them?
Well it is for God to decide how devout we are and whether he will accept are works. Yes I do pray but again I ask God to make our devotions sincere for His sake alone. It is hard for me to analyse the Iranian youth and how religious they are since I haven't been to Iran yet. On a general level, I would advise myself and others to reflect on the signs of God in the horizons and within themselves. What is your advice?
9- What is your greatest goal in your life?
To please my Creator. Sometimes goals become blurred or hard to see. Sometimes we even forget about out goal completely. But the important thing is to keep turning back to it again and again and again
10-Are you aware of Iran's shortcomings, your probable problems here, low wages, heavy traffic, nasty weather, many unrefined people, poverty, outdated and obsolete facilities and undeveloped bases, inflation and so on? I don't want to humiliate my dear country (As a poet said: If Iran is nothing more than ruins, I love these ruins) and also I don't want to discourage you from coming here, but I don't want you to come here and after facing adversity, quit Iran with a bad picture in your mind
I have read a little about modern Iran's problems so I have an idea of what to expect. I have also been to poverty stricken places before. Well I don't think I will ever quit Iran with a bad image in my mind because I know that people do not live in poverty voluntarily. I prefer to help rather than complain .
Is the weather in Iran really nasty? What's it like in Tehran?
Amir:
Oh and thanks for your kind welcome to stay here. I will try to keep in touch hopefully.
Why is your city lost?
Hey buddy (I think 'mate' is better for you :D), a bunch of thanks for your comprehensive and beautiful responses:10:l
It's an honor to have you here :40:l
Are you married?
Not yet. But I am seeking a good mate ;)l
What is your advice?
Nothing, because nobody minds :46:
Is the weather in Iran really nasty? What's it like in Tehran?
The weather in Tehran is worse than nasty, it's really disgusting. Every breath will result in a decrease of 1 hour of your life. However, we have many regions with fantastic weather like deserts (!), jungles, and etc
Why is your city lost?
It is just a poem, God alone knows (An expression I learned from your response right now, as I said your presence here is really appreciable) what its poet, Sohrab Sepehri, meant :D
Don't bother to answer the questions as soon as possible (You have answered at 5:00 o'clock which is about 1:30 in London). It is absolutely OK to reply even 1 day later. We don't have many askers here. Make yourself at forum :D
Moreover, since you are going to be active here ;) , I'd like to suggest that you choose an AVATAR. You can go to the
تنظیمات کاربر
meaning user settings menu, and then click on
ویرایش آواتار
which means editing avatar, and then upload an avatar or put its link there. It should not be bigger than 150*150 pixels and more than about 40KB
Sincerely yours

Dear Huzayfa,
Thanks for the answers,and thanks for correcting my mistakes :31:
anyway,no one still told you what "Dam koni " means,
Dam koni is something that we use for cooking rice, we put part of a stuft on the pot, and it will help the rice to be well cooked:31:, the verb is " dam kardan" and it's just used for cooking rice.
thanks alot for both your correction and complete answersنقل قول:
the answer to your question is yes I am
I'm looking forward to meet you dear here in Qum

I see! I will remember this when I next cook rice...

À Bientôt
Bonne Chance
Au revoir
Thank you for your difficult questions Asalbanoo! For all of these things, I think it is impossible to accurately describe them. The beauty of each one is something which needs to be experienced first-hand. So the attempted answers below are all incomplete:
1. A sea
Lots of water
2. Sunset
The time in the evening when the sun falls beneath the horizon.
3. A tree
A woody plant which normally has a main trunk and branches.
4. The color red
Impossible to define
5. A black horse
Asbi siyah!
it seems that your Iranian accent is Isfahanian :27::31:نقل قول:

In "Asbi Siah", "i" shows that "Asb" is not known, it is "Nakare=Nashenakhte"=unknown
And Congratulations to our dear friend for his quick progress in Persian language.
hello
how are you hozeyfa?
what a british man think about iran? all iranian are terrorist?
i went to a short trip with a french tourist .
why a foreign man is more happy than us?
can you explain?
behrooz
i have made hot chair in persian and mohammad has copied this topic from our topic
what is your idea abiut it?
Hey Amir. I'm well thank you, just been a bit busy over the pass few days. How are things with you?
1- What do you do now? You occupation? Teaching English in England? Something is screwy here
What do you do? (there are many ways to ask this question..) Your occupation?
At the moment I'm just waiting to set out on my travels. Hopefully it will be soon!
2- What are your hobbies?
In no particular order: Football, tennis, reading, seeing friends, snooker, eating, travelling. Normal kinda stuff..
3- Would you tell us a line of Hafez poems in English?
Okay, see if you can work out the Persian from my literal translation:
Place on my hand that cup that hunts joy
And place on my hand that goblet which is like a beautiful picture
(I'm not sure about this second line..)
4- How often do you watch movies? Which genres? What was the last one?
I love movies! It depends how busy I am but on average once a week probably. I watch most genres but I'm not too fond of the standard Hollywood rubbish. The last film I saw was a Japanese film called 'Letters from Iowa Jima'.
5- Who is your example in life? (is 'example' the correct word?)
Who is your role model in life?
There are many people who I look up to but the role model par excellence has to be Muhammad ibn AbdAllah.
6- Suppose that you have a cute 5-6 year old daughter. You have gone with her to zoo. Suddenly a lion comes out of its cage and attacks your daughter. What would you do then?
Correct but just without 'then' at the end.
What a question! Well I don't have any children as you know but if I'm blessed with some, I'm sure I would gladly sacrifice myself for them.
7- Following the previous question, now suppose that she is not your daughter, but still an innocent lovely child, what would be your reaction now?
Interesting! I'm glad I answered the last question before reading this one! I'd like to think that my reaction would be the same but sadly I don't think this is the case. Millions of children around the world go to bed every night starving but I haven't committed my life to helping them. Food for thought!
8- Do you strongly believe that Islam is the most perfect religion in the world?If so, based on what proofs?(Please answer short and sweet and without bias)
In general, I am not interested in debates about the greatness of this or that religion. Certainly I love Islam the most but I don't spend time trying to convince the world of this. Most people judge a religion by its fruit, not necessarily by its doctrines.
9- What is your greatest regret in your life?
You are really making me think with these questions! Hmmm I think I have an answer but I'd rather not write it here..
10- How do you predict the future generation's tendency towards religion?
10- How do you predict the future generation's inclination towards religion to be?
I think it is very hard to predict things like this in today's world. The world is changing so rapidly that many of the things we take for granted today can no longer be assured. Despite this, I like to remain hopeful and God knows best!
12- What are your minimum requirements for your future wife?
Lol, I don't have a requirement sheet! I prefer to meet her requirements of me rather than the other way round..
13- I think the beauty of a girl is one of the most important priorities of every boy who wants to get married. Thus, what is the fault of a poor ugly girl who lacks this divine donation? What should she do?
'gift' instead of 'donation'
Very interesting question. It is something I have been thinking about for a long time and I still don't have a satisfactory answer. Incidentally in the West, perhaps more so than the East, it is a concern for both men and women. We should remember the advice of the Prophet to men: "A woman is married for four things: her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman you will be losers.' Also we should remind ourselves of the transient nature of physical beauty. The most beautiful (physically) person in the world is not immune to the corrosion of time.
What do you think?
14- In what languages can you speak? What languages are to be learned in schools in the U.K.?
14- What languages can you speak? What languages are taught in schools in the U.K.?
When I am asked this question by a student I always say 'only English' so that they try to express themselves in English. I will give the same answer here! British people in general aren't very good with foreign languages. It is easy for us because the whole world is trying to learn our language! But with the rise of China, this may one day change! French and Spanish are the main two languages taught in schools here today.
15- Do you know Mr. Ahmadinejad? If so, what do you think about him? Please answer frankly
Frankly, I'm not very interested in political affairs. Though I do think that the Iranian President is a very unique character in world politics today! What do you/Iranians think of him?
Thank you for your questions Behrooz.
what a british man think about iran? all iranian are terrorist?
What do British people think about Iran? Do they think that all Iranians are terrorists?
Iran and the nuclear issue is of course in the news almost every day. I think there is a variety of opinions on Iran. Some people hate Iran and some love Iran but most people here don't really know too much about Iran.
why a foreign man is more happy than us?
Do you mean: Why are foreign people more happy than us?
Well, I'm not sure that all non-Iranians are happier than Iranians! I can't really answer this question till I come to Iran!
what is your idea about it?
What do you think about it?
It's a great idea! It is a good and enjoyable way to help improve your language. I'm sure it is even more fun in Persian!
Lol... Is this a good thing?نقل قول:

Hail huzayfa
I've some sugar in refrigerator oh, Sorry, I've some questions D
One
A material that we apply to (Can we use Rub?) metal in order to prevent rusting? What is that material? It's red and it is used before painting the metal. I mean Zedde Zang
Two
?What's different Between Reach, Arrive
Three
Do you use the word Responsible for people who are in charge of doing country affairs? E.g
In our Country, Poverty is really obvious, Responsibles should think about that. I mean Mass'oolan
Four
Do you use the word Fit just for clothes or everything? E.g
It doesn't fit you to smoke Or It doen't fit you to be good-tempered. I mean Behet Nemi'yad
Five
Would you mind saying some frequently used Soccer Terms that reporter of the game says? I just know chest trap
Nonce
So Long
Howdy dear buddy(!),
pass days or past days?lنقل قول:
Bit by bit, it's time to pack your suitcases, leave happiness and comfort behind and begin dealing with a lot of problems. Anxious .. huh?!
Regarding my and your (!) question about the ugly girl, some people say that God has created an ugly (or even handsome) boy for her and they will find each other and fall in love and ... . I myself have seen many examlpes of spouses that the woman is ugly and the man is good (or vice versa) while they are happy and fortunate. I don't know the answer myself either. Regarding Mr. Ahmadinejad, I agree, we've better forget about him:2:l
I cannot express how I enjoy reading your responses, with your neat and professional(!) English (compared to mine:41:). I'd like to ask thousands of questions, but I know you are so busy these days (and you will be much busier after coming here :D), hence please answer these two questions.
1- Why do you think Hollywood movies (or a big proportion of them) are rubbish?l
2- From English language point of view, what's the difference between 'it's not good ...' and 'it's no good ...'?l
Thanks in advance.
If you finally could get the Visa, please inform us. You need some very important advices!! First of all, don't burn all your boats in London, maybe you couldn't tolerate living in Iran for 1 year (and probably this is the case:3:).
Good luck,
Yours sincerely,
Amir
:11:
And Petros means 'Officials' I guess
Howdy Petros
A material that we apply to (Can we use Rub?) metal in order to prevent rusting? What is that material? It's red and it is used before painting the metal. I mean Zedde Zang
'Apply' is better for metals.
I'm afraid I don't know what this material is! I do remember painting metal before, but I don't think we applied anything to prevent rusting. I will ask a painter!
?What's different Between Reach, Arrive
What's the difference between reach and arrive
They have similar meanings but can't be used interchangeably all the time. Do you know about transitive and intransitive verbs? Reach is transitive, arrive is not.The basic formula is reach = arrive at
Take this street, and you will [reach / arrive at] the park.
When I arrive there
NOT When I reach there
In addition, 'reach' has different meanings which are separate from 'arrive'. For example:
I was trying to reach you by telephone
= I was trying to contact you
Do you use the word Responsible for people who are in charge of doing country affairs? E.g
In our Country, Poverty is really obvious, Responsibles should think about that. I mean Mass'oolan
No we don't use 'responsible' in this sense. You could say, 'The people in charge of X'
Do you use the word Fit just for clothes or everything? E.g
It doesn't fit you to smoke Or It doesn't fit you to be good-tempered. I mean Behet Nemi'yad
No you can't use 'fit' here but you can use befit
It doesn't befit you to smoke
Suit can be used much more widely
It doesn't suit you to be smoking
It doesn't suit you to be good-tempered
Would you mind saying some frequently used Soccer Terms that reporter of the game says? I just know chest trap
Would you mind saying some frequently used Soccer Terms that reporters of the game use? I just know chest trap
I don't really want to talk about football tonight because my team (Liverpool) lost again so I am very upset!
:41:
:There are many terms which reporters use but a few
Header
attack /defence
hand-ball
penalty
Offside
Possession
Midfield
Substitute
Stadium
Pitch
Corner
Throw-in
Cross
Pass
Shot
But commentators always speak very fast so it can be difficult understanding them!

Hehe, you are right teacher! I meant to write 'past days' Sorry, I type quite fast and I should have gone through it again since my use of English is being so closely scrutinised here!
I cannot express how MUCH I enjoy reading your responses, with your neat and professional(!) English (compared to mine [ برای مشاهده لینک ، با نام کاربری خود وارد شوید یا ثبت نام کنید ] ). I'd like to ask thousands of questions, but I know you are so busy these days (and you will be much busier after coming here :D), hence please answer these two questions.
Thank you but your written English really is at a very good level. If you would to like to improve further I recommend reading some of the better English authors. Pay attention also to the usage of idioms by English speakers. The correct usage of idioms tends to distinguish the native speaker of English from a foreign speaker.
1- Why do you think Hollywood movies (or a big proportion of them) are rubbish?l
I do like some Hollywood films but many films I find repetitious and boring. In particular, I dislike most films with Bruce Willis! But this is a matter of personal taste!
2- From AN English language point of view, what's the difference between 'it's not good ...' and 'it's no good ...'?l
'It's not good' is the correct phrase. Although you will hear many English speakers using the second, it is grammatically incorrect. But as with Persian and other languages ,we don't really obey all the grammatical rules in informal speech. This can be very confusing for foreigners coming to Britain or the US for the first time!

In a reading comprehension part of an English test, WHICH strategy is better? Reading the whole passage and then answering, or, at first, reading the questions and then tryING to find the answers WITHOUT reading all the passage
It depends how much time you have. But generally, I think it is much smarter to read the questions first. That way you know what information you need to find when you read through it
I'm afraid I can't help you with the formula! I'm not very good at maths and I don't even know how to say the formula correctly. I advise asking a mathematician! Sorry
Hi Asalbanoo.
No problem about the difficult questions. I like having to think about them!
When do like to die

Hi Diana!
I'm fine thank you, how are you?

Old stuff mainly. For English/Western I like rock from the 60s/70s
are u single ?
Yes I am unfortunately.

However I haven't had the time to ask you any questions but I have been reading some of your answers. They were interesting :20:

I wish you all the best in your future challenging ( :46: ) life in Iran :11: l

When are you going to come here?
Where are you going to reside?
How much money are you going to bring?
Do you have any one here?
My advices:
1- Since you should take all your money with yourself, I should recommend you to put it in a safe place. For instance, put your money in a pouch and suspend it from your neck and inside your shirt.
2- Suppose every Iranian a charlatan (!!!) unless otherwise in proved
3- Bargain as much as you can, because if they figure out you are a foreigner, they would double the price
4- Don't ever quarrel or struggle. Just escape! Nowadays, even some 15 year-old boys (or even girls) have knife in their pockets
5- Deposit your money in a bank as soon as possible, unless you will suddenly find out that it is not where it should be
6- Prepare yourself for wasting a lot of time in heavy traffics
10- Prepare yourself to fight against American or British(!) troops.
That's enough for this session
Good luck

Since you should take all your money with yourself, I should recommend you to put it in a safe place. For instance, put your money in a pouch and suspend it from your neck and inside your shirt.
Iran is more safety than whatever our friends said
Dear Petros and love-to-learn
we're a bit exaggerating but it's better to be safe than sorry,
Its safe for us, because we know the country , we know the people, we know how to act, I have several experiences about this.
My dad works with foreigners, and he told me that there are some men who are specialized in rubbery with non-irannian residents.
once one of his colleagues was on the way from hotel to work, some one stopped him, introduced himself as a cop and wanted to see the passport and how much money he had.
then he told the man to come to one of the police stations to take back the passport and the money...and he was never found:41:
There was 2 other cases with the same style, unfortunately these things exists,I just suggested to keep his money and passport in a very safe place, like safe box or banks
, and petros it's not selling, it's precaution.
you can find the exact situation in Paris (one of the best European cities), they always told you about rubberies, and to take a good care of the money you have, most of them warn you of the possibility of kidnapping children. So are they selling theire country and the city? these are all precautions as I told you.
My dear friends Love-to-learn, Amir, Archi-girl and Petros,
Thank you very much for all your kind advice. I think that all large cities in the world can be dangerous for the foreigner. In a British paper yesterday, for example, it was revealed that there is a stabbing or knife-point robbery in Britain every 24 minutes!
Of course foreigners are more venerable to being attacked/robbed because they don't know anything about the place they are going to. Therefore I really appreciate the advice I'm receiving.کد:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=490115&in_page_id=1770
When are you going to come here?
I haven't yet booked the flight but hopefully within 1-2 weeks. I just have a few things to sort out at home before leaving.
Where are you going to reside?
I'm not sure as of yet. I have been advised about a few places in the 'Questions Questions Questions' thread. I will be flying to Tehran.
How much money are you going to bring?
I'm not sure. With all the sanctions and frozen bank accounts, it seems I have chosen the worst possible time for coming to Iran. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you guys living there under sanctions and everything.
Do you have any one here?
Unfortunately I don't personally know any Iranians in Iran! However, I've met some very nice people at this forum and Aidin from the 'Questions, questions, questions' thread has very kindly offered to help me settle in when I arrive.
I Thank you all again for your kind welcome, support and advice.
Love-to-learn, Amir, Archi-girl and Petros: Do you all live in Tehran? Perhaps we can all meet up one day? I would like to be able to thank you in person..
