English is a difficult language ........ for some!



This is a true story from Japanese Embassy in US!!!
A few days ago the Prime Minister Mori was given some basic English conversation training before he visits Washington and meets president Obama….
The instructor told Mori Prime Minister,
When you shake hands with President Obama, please say ‘ how are you?’
Then Mr. Obama should say, “ I am fine and you?” now you should say “me too” Afterwards we, translators, will do the work for you.”
It looks quite simple, but the truth is ….
When Mori met Obama,
He mistakenly said “who are you?” (Instead of how are you?)
Mr. Obama was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor:
“Well, I am Michelle’s husband, ha-ha…”
Then Mori replied “me too, ha-ha…”
Then there was a long silence in the meeting room…

Very funny isn’t it? Can you remember any similar story… well then share it with us!

When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.
An angel came by and said: “Why spend so much time on that one?”
And the Lord answered:
“Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?”
She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands”.
The angel was impressed
“Just two hands....impossible!“
And this is the standard model?!
“Too much work for one day....wait until tomorrow and then complete her“.
“I will not”, said the Lord. “I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favourite of my heart”.
“She cures herself when sick and she can work 18 hours a day”.
The angel came nearer and touched the woman.
“But you have made her so soft, Lord” “She is soft", said the Lord, “But I have also made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and over come.“
“Can she think?" the angel asked.
The Lord answered:
“Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.
The angel touched the woman’s cheek…
“Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.”
“She is not leaking....it’s a tear” the lord
corrected the angel
“What’s it for?" asked the angel

And the Lord said:
“Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”
This made a big impression on the angel; “Lord, you are genius.
You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvellous!
Indeed she is!
Woman has strengths that amazes man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when feeling like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, crys when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.
She fights for what she belives in.
Stand up against injustice.
She doesn’t take “no” for an answer, when she can see a better solution. She gives herself so her family can thrive. She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid.
Her love is unconditional.
She cries when her kids are victorious. She is happy when her friends do well.
She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.
Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies. .
But she finds the strength to get on with life.
She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.
There is only one thing wrong with her
She forgets what she is worth...

Hi dear friends
Yes Pary I have been a bit quiet lately, one reason could be not having enough enthusiastic readers as you and your classmates... but another reason is I just did not have something interesting to write about...

The weather is that I quess worries us all nowadays, not enough rain, heavy strong gales... and on top of all warm weather which is quite strange for Arbebil and the area at this time of the year... I was just wondering if people can have any ideas about the reasons... what are the reasons of such undesirable weather? does it have any thing to do with us as human beings? would like to hear your ideas on this!
cheers

Hi there
well, I just read some news about a
pro wrestler who died of a heart attack ... I think this sport (professional wrestling) , that is if we can call it a sport, is absolutely barbaric!! no doubt about that! I mean what would be the purpose of people hitting each other over ... over what really?!?!? I would like to read your ideas about that.

Do you think it should be called as "sport"?
and what do you know about it? I mean the prices, awards and etc.
looking forward to reading your thoughtful comments
cheers
