A Group To Study English (schedule at the first page)l

[seymour]

we do care about the mistakes but it is not recommended all the time
by just going thru the mistakes learners may lose their enthusiasm n they may hate it...Mistakes should be corrected but not all the time n that is Writing section which we do care about mistakes
------
not knowing is not bad, not learning n not asking is bad but thank God here guys are absolutely enthusiastic n they are learning together
----
good luck

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) ...


at least, that's my experience and that's why I barely correct others (grammatically I mean) ,aside "Translation " topic

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.

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 subject of writing is
The best movie I've ever watched

[sepid12ir]

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
