Proverbs are well-known sayings and informative statements among the people of every nation. Proverbs usually date back to old days. They have handed out from one generation to another with the purpose of conveying some facts.

Every proverb might have had a true story or reasonable explanation behind them. Some of them are pretty self-explanatory, but some other need to be explained. We have a huge treasure of proverbs and expressions in our enriched language “Farsi”.

Who are normal people? To know the answer, read it till bottom line.

Even a medical report in respect of him is issued containing the detail information about his abnormality, yet when someone call him mad, he flares up at once, rather begins pelting stones on them angrily. We can say that this is the

Good bye again and for the last time

I won’t commit again this crime!

"Hello, hello,  is anybody here? No answer! It seems someone is inside the house but no one comes to show up. Can anyone hear me? Listen, I am a passer by, coming from far away and I need help''.

" Hey, what do you want?'' Finally someone peeped out the window. ''  Thanks, you finally came up, I need some water. Have you any water?'' "'Oh, yes, man, I have  some. Okay, come in."

Then, the passerby stepped into the house. It was such a hot day, perspiration formed on his forehead. Mr. cafi asked, '

Expector's Blog Challenge: the uses of 'any'

Do I have any belief that she doesn’t have any grudge or anger against me?  I haven’t done anything which might have any cause to hurt her feelings. Then why isn’t she paying any heed to me.  Am I nothing for her?  Don’t I have any right to explain myself?  Aren’t there any feelings in her for me. What I would do to draw her attention to revive our relationship?  I will not be erring if I act in any way to prove my devotion, dedication and love. Or is

'I haven't felt anything like this before It was a wonderful feeling to have your own child', Tom said.

'Any' can be very tricky to use.  It's not uncommon for a learner to make mistakes when using the word 'any'. First, I'd like to give you some sentences for you to get the picture:

Have you got any books to read?

I haven't got any (books).

I haven't got any help, either. 

Are you feeling any better now?

Any book will do - I just want something to read. 

If any of them want(s) to join in the discussion, just let me know. 

Is it any good/use crying over spilt milk?

So, you can see, 'any' is usually used i

It's been a while since I posted a blog in here. I missed writing, but after some time not writing anything, I guess my brain became stagnant. Thus, I just want to share a very poignant story which I read from the net. It's a poignant reminder to some of us, especially me, to seize a moment, even if it's a trivial thing. Sometimes, we never know if that small decision alter our perspective of lives.

Maybe some of you have read the story, but I hope you don't mind me sharing it in here. The origin

As an English language learner, would you prefer to practise with a native speaker or a fellow second-language learner? A native speaker, right? To reach this end, many people take part in language exchanges, which because of the internet and global travel, have become easier and easier. ​

There was once a king and a servant. No matter what happened in life, whether it be good or bad, the servant would say, “God is good and almighty".

One day the king and his servant went hunting. The servant was in charge of loading the guns the king would use. Something went wrong, one of the guns misfired and the king lost his thumb.

Examining the situation, the servant remarked as usual, “God is good and almighty!"  The king became angry, and immediately sent the servant to prison.

Dear friends! Having been teaching English for so many years, I see that many students have true problems with adverbs. I hope you will read what I have written and ask me questions if you have some.
