Due to life has not had a stop yet.

I were lying on the bed, just like a cat which was sick. It’s a rainy day, not much, but it’s enough for me to feel emotional. It’s wind, not much, but it’s enough for me to feel dizzy. Okay, I decided to call boss in sick and told him I wanted to be at home. Yes. I wanna shut people out today, I wanna be alone, just today. I wanna think a little today, I wanna be lazy, just today.

I opened laptop, went through all files which include all pics. I saw these faces. You know, some persons come quietly then leave without a noise. There are some relationships which are so thin that they are ended up even we haven’t felt about them. But the funny thing is we have to pretend that we are good. They were smiling happily in pics but I dunno the reason why my tears were dropping.

Thinking …thinking …past is some things which are near to us, but they are also some things which are too far from us. Sometimes, we make someone sad, angry. Sometimes we put ourselves over all others and end up some relationships with some people whom we like or even we love a lot. But sometimes we live with all our hearts and our heads unconditionally and uncalculatingly. Sometimes we are just so confused cuz we just realize that time still goes cruelly second to second, who we are today are not as same as who we were yesterday. Yes. We grow up day by day and …we …change …

Sometimes, we need to take a break for a while to look back and arrange our hearts. There are some things which we want them to disappear from our lives, or things which we regret every single time we think about them. That’s life. Many things we want, but we cannot have and vice versa. But past is for looking back instead of staying. It’s time to put all things into a corner of our left chests. It’s time to forget things which made us unhappy. It’s time for hurts to be healed and it’s time for scares to blur.

We can live happy lives or sad lives. Nobody can live our lives and nobody can help us live from the beginning to the end. Therefore, let’s live like a kid, let’s fall, let’s stand up and let’s walk. It’s time to be an adult. It’s time to fall deeper, stand up harder and walk faster cuz when we find our stops, it’s time to stop walking, time to look back and time to say goodbye

Discussion topic : is space exploration a waste of money?

I think that nowadays space exploration is a waste of time and money, because currently humanity does not need to know whether life exists outside the earth or not, but has to solve many serious problems and take up a growing number of challenges (unemployment, financial crisis, incurable diseases, natural disasters, pollution, etc…)

I think that we should afford space exploration funds and spend them into more profitable sectors such as education, health, economy, research and development, etc…we can also use those funds in sustainable investments to employ people and increase wealth creation.

I think that once our aforementioned basic needs are achieved then we can start exploring the space

Do you agree with me? what's your opinion?

How to spend your lesure time.

I have seen a video once, I saw it on Facebook and now I have finally found it. I can’t watch it normally, I just burst out of cry and start crying. I am not able to listen to this laugh and see the guy in the ball, it’s definitely crazy here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGwmv2tWlxY So, what kind of things do you like to do with your friends or family, or alone? Have you done something crazy?  Share it with us :)

[anas-ens]

It’s not funny at all, there is a big risk of suffocation, kids must not watch that video. When I was a kid I enjoyed doing some crazy things like crank calls, and starting fire in hays

[captainboboty]

But the question is should we have a leisure  time? Our life is so short so we have to use it at a good effect.

Discussion topic : Euthanasia

According to wikipedia Euthanasia is is the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. Do you agree with that practice? what are your arguments? should we tolerate it of forbid it? The discussion will begin at 2:30 pm GMT in Skype

[anas-ens]

Hi, I had an interesting discussion with Joao, Mohamed-Apu and Parisa about Euthanasia, some of those participants think that it should be prohibited because it’s a kind of murder or suicide, others think that it shoud be forbiden because only god has the right to take someone’s life, others think that it should be allowed because it save suffering, pain, money and time, they said also that keeping artificially a dying person in life is a crime in itself because by that way we are not helping the sick person but only making him suffer more…

What do you think? should we legalize that kind of practice?

My dear ENS members,

After long time, I have posted up a new post on Tumblr finally. Today I would like to write about earthquakes. Recently we have experienced earthquake in Nepal. Although the earthquake of Bangladesh was not serious like Nepal but we felt the vibration of earthquake....

[captainboboty]

Dear Friend, 

I wish you the best and hope that you will never experience such a  disaster.  The study that suggests your country will face an earthquake within ten years must  be challenged by proven facts not only assumptions. Generally earthquakes occur suddenly despite of some prompts which just precede the event. The time between those prompts and the catastrophe itself is so short that we have nothing to do but ‘’wait and see’’. Forecasting earthquake remains a big challenge and always inaccurate. In the earthquake - prone region, an early warning might be useful  along with a rehearsing that  show to people how to cope with this particular event and its fallouts. An other point which is great of importance is housing which should be built on an appropriate design.

I tried to explain briefly that “How can we be a good speaker?”

[senjo94]

Great podcast Mohammed, but I would like to recommend you to get rid of /ɘ/-s where they are not needed (for example at the beginning of words, let’s say “speaker”). 

[mdapu]

I can’t but say that you have great knowledge about Phonetics because you used to. But I’m not so expert about it to make sound which is phonetically perfect. But I will try to my best to get rid of it.

[captainboboty]

Great Job!

POEM

Hey English language how do you do? You are not a conlang you have not only a slang I love you

Do you remember I stumbled in learning you Now I am a ENS member And to learn greedly I am ready to.

[captainboboty]

Hi Leandro! I like your poem.

Have you got any response from it ?( English language), if so tell her that I have difficulties to join her. I am trying for a long time. May be   i am dialing the wrong number.

[anas-ens]

Hi everbody

Last week I learnt a new expression in English when I was discussing with Boboty, which is to pull strings for someone, it means to use your influence for someone to get something done

The context of the discussion was the job opportunities in Boboty’s country : Mauritania which is a neighbouring country of Morocco.

Tthe company where I work for has a subsidary in Mauritania called Mauritel, and I applied many times to some jobs advertisements in that subsidary but I had never been accepted even if my professional profile match exactly with the description of the job, it’s because I don’t have anyone who can pull strings for me…

Unfortunately in Morocco this practice is very widespread and makes people demotivated so they leave definitively their country at the slightest job opportunity found abroad

[englishneverstops]

Keep up the great work and keep working together!!

[captainboboty]

Thanks Anas.

By the way, we missed you. Since that day, which you are referring to in your blog,  you didn't show up at our Skype meeting.  Hope you are fine.

Besides,  If you don't mind, I think your first paragraph might be better when rearranged in this following way. I don't know if you agree or not.

( When I was discussing with Boboty last week, I learnt the expression '' to pull strings for someone'', which means to use your influence for someone to get something done.)

The company where    that I work for has a subsidary in Mauritania called Mauritel, and I applied many times to some jobs advertisements in that subsidary but I had  have never been accepted even if   though my professional profile match exactly with the description of the job. , it’s because I don’t have anyone who can pull strings for me…

I am not sure that Very collocates with widespread ?

Thanks Anas. It was just in order to stay in touch.

If it is true that learning English is a long journey, hopefully, it is not an endless one. But the needed time to reach the destination ( fluency) might differ from one person to another. Is that means  there are some people who have a natural capacities to  learn english faster than others? Or it depends only on their commitment? What do you think guys? your comments are warmly welcomed.

My name is Meriem. I’m a twenty-two year old English student at university from Algeria. I am not so tall, and fat a little bit. I have black eyes and a short black hair. My hobbies are painting and designing decorative stuff. I like learning new languages such as Korean and Japanese. I’m a big…

[aftabashraf4809]

Well, Its great to hear about you & warm welcome to ENS community.

I hope, You will be a delux English commuter.

[captainboboty]

Welcome! 

[captainboboty]

Before learning English, you should put this question. Why am I interested in learning english? Don’t forget that ”The more your aim is clear the more it is easy to reach and vice-versa.”

Once you have answered this question, you have to set a goal in connection with your principal objective then…

[englishneverstops]

Thanks for sharing these great ideas with us, Boboty! You make some great points about the importance of goal setting and role that it plays on your journey to English fluency!

Sharing ideas and experiences about how you have learned English in the past is a fantastic way to help each other to work toward your shared goal of English Mastery!

I thought this idea of yours was especially valuable:

"… you have to train all your senses by exposing them repeatedly to a natural  english environment.  Read books, newspapers, Watch movies, tv show, Videos online related to your field and so on.  At first you will not understand but at the end you will recognize and understand what these sounds mean. Others did.  So do you.”

The idea of training all of your senses in English is especially interesting! How are you immersing yourself in English every day?

A great next step for you, Boboty, is to apply these concepts to your own learning. What is your objective with English? What skills will help you to reach that objective? What steps can you take to reach this goal? Share your thoughts with us and we can help you to define a learning plan that will help to guide you on your path to English Fluency.

Keep up the great work and keep working together!

Strategy to learn English

Before learning English, you should put this question. Why am I interested in  learning english?  Don't forget  that ''The more your aim is clear the more it is easy to reach  and vice-versa.''

Once you have answered this question, you have to set a goal in connection with your principal objective then stand for it.  For example you could say  '' within three months I will be able to communicate at length clearly in english about my preferences or about how  I spend my spur time or about whatever I want to.........etc. ''

What should you do? Along with focusing on you area of interest, which was defined previously ( don't worry any topic is available in English), you must learn the basics of English, elements of speech, words order in a sentence,.........etc. A  big mistake is often made by some learners who ignore this fundamental part of any written language and jump to the high level. This doesn't simply work. You have to go step by step but  it is up to you to define your own speed. ''All great achievement requiers time.''  and Rome was not built overnight.

Keep in mind that mastering any language, english included,  requiers not only time but also need a full attention from the doer. That means you have to train all your senses by exposing them repeatedly to a natural  english environment.  Read books, newspapers, Watch movies, tv show, Videos online related to your field and so on.  At first you will not understand but at the end you will recognize and understand what these sounds mean. Others did.  So do you.   

When you recognize and understand these sounds then you are able to produce them. Do it.  Don't be afraid!  Seek any opportunity to speak to others by skype or over phone , record yourself ( I know some friends don't support it myself included), speak in front of mirror. The first step is always difficult but I am sure if you are really  interested in learning English you will overcome these handicaps.

Remember to asses yourself, learn from you mistakes and set a new further goal based on what you have achieved so far and what you want to be by the new deadline. 

ENS Together.

The question about my happiest memories drawn me back to the time when I was preparing my ”baccalaureat”, which is different from bachelor in north american education system.

This diploma is a tipping point in every student cursus because it ends the high school courses, meanwhile it’s compulsory to have it if you want to or could attend the University.

After taking the exam came the period of waiting until the results will be published. The day D, I gathered along with some friends in the school square where the principal will have to read out  the name of those who are graduated.

Although, I was all ears I didn’t hear my name when he read it out, but fortunately my friends did. One of them come to me and took me in his arms and told me ”congratulations, you deserve it”. Are you joking, I replied? No you got it, he said. After while, I realized what happened. An old dream comes true. This is one of the happiest memories I have ever had.

[anas-ens]

Excellent post, thanks for sharing, I didn’t find any mistake, moreover you’ve provinding us with new vocabulary and with some beautiful expressions, thank you and happy new year

Studying a foreign language, english included, is an important goal which requires willingness and patience. Nothing to do. Without these two characters  that aim remains a vain hope. 

You have to be interested in learning that language in order to overcome an issue or to reach a personal achievement. For either you have to take the needed time.  Don't be intimidate and remember as someone once said '' A big tree was a tiny seed''.
