Let's learn together!

[behnam]

Hi,

This is Behnam, male, from Iran. I am a teacher and I am teaching Physics. I love Physics as well as the English language very much. I am practising writing and widening the range of my vocabulary through discussing general topics on the Internet.

I've found this site interesting and powerful. Its attractive features caught my attention. I hope you will join me to practise English together.

This site is really useful for English learners. I would like to take this perfect opportunity to express my special thanks to the administrator for establishing and running such a wonderful and helpful site. I hope native English speakers and English teachers will help us with improvement in English.

We can create a friendly atmosphere and make this place a nice one to be in. I extend the hand of friendship.I would welcome any advice or suggestions with open arms. Please do not hesitate to introduce topics for discussion and put post in this thread.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

All the best,

Hi,

Twenty-seven people have already visited this thread, but none of them have put comment on it! What's wrong? I guess the lack of topic is the main reason for the lack of interest. Well, let me suggest a topic.

What is your favourite season? Why is it your favourite season? Why do people have different favourite season? Where does that difference come from?

I am looking forward to reading your posts soon.

All the best,

Hi,

Thank you for visiting this thread. We can make here a friendly place to be in, by putting comments, sharing our views, and suggesting topics to discuss.

Please be kind enough to put a comment on this thread.

My favourite season is autumn. I love its special and unique features. In falls, the weather is neither cold nor hot. The sun shines gently. It isn't strong to bother our eyes or our skin. The birds sign differently and beautifully. The nature is painted with different colures. It is the season of walking with your love; hand in hand, along a tree-lined long path. Autumn provides fantastic and romantic scenery. Dry leaves under the feet make enjoyable sounds. I really love it.

In my opinion, there is a psychological connection between someone and their favourite seasons. Many factors can influence the type of person and the reasons for their likes and dislikes. For instance, birthplace can affect people's characteristics. Someone who was born in hot climate may prefer summers to other seasons.

Everybody is unique, and this uniqueness is necessary for keeping the life going on the Earth. These differences are actually strong evidence for wisdom and might of creator!

Please put comment; let's discuss!

All the best,

Dear Behnam,
your answer is so special and complete that you make me so unconfortable.Your English is too good.
Every answer will be banal!
Anyway....I like all seasons because everyone of them has something special in colours and smells.

Sometimes I think how is living in the tropics where we cannot enjoy of the 4 seasons.

Do you think it is possible to realise the passing of the years without seasons?

Hi Elisa,

Thank you very much for putting comment. Human beings recognize the existence of things by experiencing and comparing two different situations. For example, we recognize darkness in case there is no light in a place. We contrast colours because they have different effects on our eyes. If all things on the Earth were green, we couldn't recognize anything. In this case, even greenness made no sense.

As a rule, we identify things by means of their opposites. If there was something in the world which has no opposite we couldn't either realise or recognise it!

In answering to your question it should be said that year made no sense if there were no seasons; seasons couldn't be contrasted if there was no change in climate. Swimming easily and happily in the sea, a fish is not able to realise what water is. If you'd like to teach a fish how to recognise water, you'd remove it from the sea and put it on the ground. It would realise the existence of water!

Human beings cannot realise the existence of God, due to the fact that God has not got an opposite. We are quite similar to the fish in the sea. We cannot understand how would a place be if there wasn't God. Our situation is much worse than the situation of the fish, because the fish could at least experience a place without water, although it died. However, human beings never can experience a place without God(a Godless place).

This is so philosophical. I dislike to bother you. I hope not to sound religious and not to cause the thread an early ban by writing such philosophical things.

All the best,

Hi Behnam,

How are you? How is the life with you?

First of all let me introduce myself to you ; I am Amal from Damascus-Syria. I am 23 years old. I studied at Financial Institute.

I would like to share a story with you about the reasons which made me come and write in this thread...

Two years ago, I loved English language and became very interested in learning it so I used all the ways to practice it and the internet was very useful for me.

However, while doing that, I met a great person who not only taught me English but also taught me how the life is and he let me change my view about the world and especially MEN.Moreover, I have learned a lot of lessons about how to support a friend and how to be with them even if the person was in his cave or in a bad mood...

In fact, I had a problem and I lost my love for writing English in threads and I believe that my English does not improve anymore, I wanted to study and read more then return to the thread again but my friend asked me to write here...

Therefore, If being here means something to him then I will be very glad to be here. I am here just because I care about our FRIENDSHIP. I am here just for my GREAT FRIEND. I really want to fly near the eagle ,I am also proud to be in his sky,too. But my English become very weak and rusty and to be in this sky I need you to hold my hands and be patient and wait me untill I study more...

Dear Behnam, I wish you the best with your thread.I am sure that it will be a very friendly and useful thread for everyone. I will try as possible as I can to be here.

Best wishes
Amal

Running away from any problem only increases the distance from the solution... The easiest way to escape from the problem is to solve it.
