🟢Stress

Stress. Nasty thing. I hate being stressed but I’m not sure why. The stress disappears and then everything is back to normal. I need to tell myself that the stressful situation will be over soon. I wonder if people are more stressed today than they were 100 years ago. I think they probably are. There are more things to get stressed about these days – exams, money, jobs, trains, anything and everything. I get stressed when I have to meet a deadline and the time is running out. Fortunately, there are many things to do to get rid of stress. I reduce my stress by chatting with friends or going for a run. Life seems better then. Hmmm… I wonder what will give me stress next. I’ll get my running shoes ready so I can manage it.

استرس. چیز کثیف. از استرسی بودن متنفرم ولی مطمئن نیستم چرا. استرس از بین میره و بعدش همه چی به حالت نرمال برمی‌گرده. باید به خودم بگم که موقعیت پراسترس زودی تموم میشه. کنجکاوم که آیا مردم الان نسبت به صد سال قبل استرسی تر هستند یا نه. به گمونم احتمالاً اینطوری هستند. این روزا چیزای زیادی هست که بابتش استرسی بشیم- امتحانات، پول، مشاغل، قطارها، هر چیز و هر کس. وقتی مجبورم کاری رو سر موقع انجام بدم و زمان داره تموم میشه استرسی می شم. خوشبختانه، چیزهای زیادی برای انجام هست تا از شر استرس راحت شد. من استرسم رو از طریق صحبت با دوستان و دویدن کم می‌کنم. اونوقت زندگی بهتر به نظر میرسه. همممم... کنجکاوم چیزی که بعدش بهم استرس خواهد داد چیه. کفش‌های مخصوص دویدنم رو آماده می‌کنم تا بتونم استرس رو مدیریت کنم.

🟢Advice of The Goat

👉Once, a villager owned a donkey and a goat. He used the donkey to carry loads of articles from the village to the city where he would roam around the whole day selling his articles. Sometime he could lend his donkey to others on hire when they needed it. As the donkey worked hard the whole day, the villager used to feed the donkey more food than he gave to the goat.

The goat felt jealous of the donkey. He advised the donkey, "You work all day long and hardly get any rest. You must act that you are ill and fall down unconscious. This way, you'll get rest for a few days." The donkey agreed to this and acted as if he was ill. The villager called the doctor. The doctor said, ''Your donkey has a strange illness. To cure him, you must feed him the soup made of a goat's lungs."

The villager at once killed the goat and cooked soup out of his lungs. Then he fed the soup to the donkey.

The goat had tried to harm the donkey out of jealousy but he had been killed for his evil nature.

🟢 نصیحت یک بز

👈 روزی روزگاری یک روستایی صاحب یک الاغ و بز بود. او از الاغ برای حمل بار کالا از روستا به شهر استفاده میکرد که در آنجا کل روز را پرسه میزد و کالاهایش را میفروخت. گاهی اوقات خر را با اجرتی به دیگران قرض میداد وقتی نیاز داشتند. به خاطر اینکه خر به سختی در طول روز کار میکرد، روستایی غذای بیشتری نسبت به بز به خر میداد.

بز نسبت به خر احساس حسادت کرد. او به خر نصیحتی کرد : "تو تمام طول روز کار میکنی و به ندرت استراحت میکنی. بایستی وانمود کنی که مریض هستی و ناخوداگاه زمین بیفت. اینجوری میتوانی چند روز استراحت کنی." خر با این موضوع موافقت کرد و وانمود کرد که مریض است. روستایی دکتر را خبر کرد. دکتر گفت: "خر تو یک مریضی عجیب دارد. برای درمانش، بایستی سوپی که از جگر یک بز ساخته شده به خوردش بدهی.
روستایی در دم بز را کشت و سوپی از جگر بز درست کرد. سپس سوپ را به خورد خر داد.
بز تلاش کرد که از روی حسادت ضربه ای به خر وارد کند ولی خودش به خاطر طبیعت شیطانیش کشته شد

🟢The farm boy

👉 A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagonload of corn in the road. The farmer who lived nearby came to see what had happened. "Hey boy ", he called out, "forget your trouble for a moment and come on in and have dinner with us. Then I will help you get the wagon up." " that is very nice of you", the boy answered , "But I don't think Pa would like me to do it."

"Oh, come on, son," the farmer insisted. "Well, okay, " the boy finally agreed. "But pa won't like it." After a hearty dinner, the boy thanked his host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know pa is going to be upset." " I don't think so," said the neighbor. "By the way, where is your pa?" " He is under the wagon."

🟢 پسر مزرعه دار "روستایی"

👈 پسری روستایی واگن پر از ذرت خود را تصادفا در جاده چپ کرد. کشاورزی که در آن نزدیکی زندگی می کرد ، آمده بود تا ببیند چه اتفاقی افتاده. او با صدای بلند گفت : آهای پسر ، ناراحتی هایت را فراموش کن و به خانه ما بیا و شام را با ما صرف کن. بعد من کمک می کنم که واگن را راست کنی. پسر جواب داد: شما خیلی لطف دارید ، ولی فکر نمی کنم بابام بخواهد من این کار را بکنم.

کشاورز با اصرار گفت : آه بیا برویم پسرم. بالاخره پسر موافقت کرد و گفت: بسیار خوب ، باشد ، ولی بابام دوست ندارد. بعد از شام صمیمانه ، پسر از میزبانش تشکر کرد و گفت : حالا حالم خیلی بهتر شده ، اما می دانم بابام واقعا عصبانی خواهد شد. همسایه گفت : من فکر نمی کنم ، راستی بابات کجاست؟ " زیر واگن است."

Today, I'll be talking about something that's very important when it comes to improving your English skills. It is certain that we all want to speak English really well, don't we? but we can't have such a good English level without making mistakes and going through some failures. In fact, without mistakes and failures there will be no success achieved. Said another way: we can't see light without darkness. Think about that for a while. Some people would tell you that making mistakes is not going to take you anywhere, but the truth is really different. Making mistakes shows you your weaknesses. When you acknowledge your weaknesses, you will work on them, which will help you improve your skills. Mistakes also help you know what your level is and how much progress you're making. So, as a learner of English, take it easy. Don't be frustrated or blame yourself because you make mistakes or your English skills are not as good as you want. It is quite normal because English is not your first language. If you make mistakes, it is totally understandable. All you have to do is to keep learning and teaching yourself more and more, learn form your mistakes and avoid repeating them . English is just a language and it can be learned if one has passion and enthusiasm to learn it. If you are passionate about learning English and you are willing to work hard, then you are already halfway done.

What's my best advice for those who want to improve their English?

The best way to learn a language is to keep in touch with it. You need to work on your skills everyday. The more you learn and the more you practice your skills, the better your English becomes. The less you learn, the more you forget the language. Said another way, use it or lose it. Learning on a daily basis will help you become familiar with the language and how people use it to communicate different ideas, which, in turn, will help you to think in English and eventually become more fluent.

Is it possible to speak and sound like a native speaker?

That's not what's important. The important thing is to speak in a natural way, without hesitation. That's what really matters. If you are obsessed with speaking like a native, you probably won't reach that level for quite a long time. When it takes longer than you expected to reach that level, you will be disappointed and maybe you will start to slack off and eventually give it all up. So, focus on learning to speak in a natural fluent way. Your main goal should be how to communicate your ideas in an effective and understandable way. Once you achieve that, then you can concentrate fully on how to sound like a native speaker.

I'm trying hard to improve my English, but at the end of the day I just realise that haven't really learned anything new. What should I do?

Learning a whole new language is not a walk in the park. If you don't know how to deal with all the amount of information that you need to learn in a smart way, you will be overwhelmed and stressed. As a learner of English and it doesn't matter what level you have, you don't have to learn too many new things everyday. There is so many things to learn, but you don't have to and should not learn them all at once. You have to do it step by step. Focus on one thing at a time. Our minds cannot absorb too much information at once. Our minds are designed to learn one thing at a time. When learning a language or basically any new skill, keep this information in mind. You learn best when you make sense of what you learn, and you cannot do that when you are forcing your mind to absorb tons of information.

The first thing you need to do is to start learning. Many learners of English keep asking questions about how they can learn and improve their English skills. They get advice on how to improve their language skills, but they don't put the advice into practice. They don't take action; therefore, they remain at the same level with no progress at all.

This type of learners want to have a magical device that can make them learn in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, this device doesn't exist. There's no magical device or wand that would make you a good speaker. The only way you can really improve your skills is to start doing so. You need to get the ball rolling.

Before I started learning English, I had always been one of those who want to become fluent in no time. It didn't work, and it will never work. What I realized is that things will not get better unless you start taking action. It doesn't matter how big or small that action is. The most important thing is to start. Even if you move at a slow speed, that's OK. As time goes by, your speed will go up. As the saying goes: small actions will add up to big results.

When I started out, I never thought that one day I would reach this level and be doing what I'm doing. I put in small efforts everyday and I kept it that way. That's what helped me to come this far. Now that I have reached this level, I want to go further and become better. I want to achieve bigger goals.

So what really matters is to start putting in the efforts. Your actions don't have to be impressive. You can go at a pace you find suitable for yourself. You don't have to do great things at once. Start taking action. As time goes by, you will improve. You will notice that you can do better and achieve bigger goals, then you will be impressive and you will be amazed by what you are truly capable of.

People can not teach you everything. They cannot put information in your head. People can only guide you, advise you, and show you the way. Then, you need walk the road by yourself. You may need help somewhere along the way, ask for it and continue your journey. Don't wait for some miracle to happen because the times of miracles are gone. Now, only the actions you take are what will make the difference. Does that make sense to you? It should. Don't tell me that you cannot do it or that you don't have what it takes. You are more than just capable of achieving what you want. You are capable of making an impact on the whole world. You have greatness within you. You have the talent, the gifts, and all the necessary things you will need to achieve what you may think is impossible for you. But this is only true when you recognize it and acknowledge all the power you have burried within you. Unleash it. Let it come out. Take action now. No more waiting. No more hesitation. Now is the time
