When I find myself in times of

trouble, Mother Mary comes to me,

Speaking word of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness she is

standing right in front of me,

speaking word of wisdom let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Speaking word of wisdom let it be.

And when the broken hearted

People living in the world of agree

There will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted

There is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper word of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy, there

is still a light, that shines on me,

Shine until tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music,

Mother Mary comes to me,

Speaking word of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. a

Speaking word of wisdom let it be.

Looking in your eyes I see a paradise

This world that I found is too good to be true

Standing here beside you, want so much to give you

This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you

Let 'em say we're crazy, don't care 'bout that

Put your hand in my hand baby, don't ever look back

Let the world around us just fall apart

Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together, standing strong forever

Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers, we'll still have each other

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now

Woh woh oh

I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you

Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you

Take it to the good times, see it through the bad times

Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do

Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know

Put your arms around me baby, don't ever let go

Let the world around us just fall apart

Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together, standing strong forever

Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers, we'll still have each other

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us

Ooh, all that I need is you

All that I ever need

And all that I want to do

Is hold you forever, forever and ever

And we can build this dream together, standing strong forever

Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers, we'll still have each other

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us

Woh oh oh-oh-oh

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now

Hey baby

And we can build this dream together, standing strong forever

Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers, we'll still have each other

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now

Tense Review

When speaking or writing, a person uses several different tenses correctly and quickly. As you review the tenses, remember that:

1. Grammar rules don’t tell you what to say. They tell you how to say something

2. Certain verbs can’t be used in certain tenses.

There are 12 tenses in English, here is a short review:

A. SIMPLE PRESENT

It is used in the following situations:

a)  Makes factual statements.

· Roberto is from Colombia

· Colombia produces good coffee

b) Expresses customs or habitual activities:

· Many office workers take a fifteen-minute coffee break every day.

· I drink three cups of coffee every morning.

c) Expresses future time when it is used with a future time word or phrase.

· I leave for London next week.

· I arrive in ten minutes.

d) Expresses nonactions:

· I hate bitter coffee. (Emotions)

· My landlady makes excellent cakes. (Opinions)

· This coffee tastes bitter. (Sense perception)

 

B. PRESENT CONTINIOUS

a) Expresses a series of activities or a single activity at the time of speaking.

· I usually have a salad for lunch, but I’m having a sandwich now.

· It’s noon, and I’m sitting in the park.

b) Expresses an activity which happens over a given period of time.

· This quarter, my roommate is working in the dorm cafeteria.

· He is taking two night courses this quarter.

c) Expresses future time.

· He and his wife are meeting tomorrow.

· They are leaving Tehran next week.

Some verbs like feel, hear, see, smell, and taste are not used in this tense when they are done involuntarily-we don’t consciously think about the action.

C. Present perfect

a) Expresses an action or emotion that started in past and has continued into the present

· Dr. Jones has lived in New York for many years. (He is still there.)

· His students have enjoyed his classes. (They still do.)

 

b) When used with the words “just “and “already”, it expresses an action that started in the past and finished recently.

- I have already mailed it.

· I have just returned from the post office.

c) Indicates an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past.

· Ana has finished her composition.

· The teacher has correct it

Notice that “simple past” is used when the time is given.

· She finished it two days ago.

· He corrected it last night.

D. PRESENT PERFECT CONTINIOUS

It is used to emphasize the continuous nature of an action.

· What are you doing?

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. What class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty and mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right to the top, rocks about 2 diameters. Then he asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed it was. So the professor then picked a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. The students laughed. He asked his students again if the jar was full. They agreed that yes it was.

 

The professor then poured some sand into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up every thing else.” Now “, said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things---your family, your partner, your health, and your children----and anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed. Pebbles are the other important things in the life that matter, but on a smaller scale. Pebbles present the thing like your job, your house or your car. The sand is everything else. If you put the sand or the pebbles into the jar, then there is no room for the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your energy and time on a small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are truly most important. Pay attention to the things that are critical in your life.

 

Take care of the rocks first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand.

Once upon a time there was a poor fisherman and his wife who lived in a pigsty near the sea. Every day the man went to fish. One day he caught a very big fish. To his surprise, the fish spoke and said: “please let me live. I’m not a regular fish. If you knew my real identity you wouldn’t kill me.” “Don’t worry”, said the fisher man. When he went home he sold the story to his wife. She was disappointed with him. She blamed him why he didn’t make a wish. She said: “just look around you. We are living in a pigsty. If we had a cottage, we would be a lot happier”. You saved his life. Go back and ask for it. Being afraid of his wife’s anger, he went to do so. The fish made the wish true. When he came back, his wife was sitting in front of a lovely cottage. Things were good for a few days. One day the wife said I wish we lived in a bigger house. If we lived in a big stone castle, I would be much happier. The fish gave them what they want. The next day, she wanted to be the king of the all land. This time the sea was in blackish gray. The water was rough and smelled terrible. The fish had no choice but to make her desire true. When the fisher man returned home he found an enormous palace and his wife, the king. But she was not satisfied. If I were emperor, I would be much happier. Next, she wanted to b Pope and the fish granted. Her never ending demands were like a whirlpool. She kept thinking and thinking and decided to be the Lord. The poor fisherman went to sea reluctantly. “Just go back. She is sitting in a pigsty again” said the fish. And they are still sitting there

At the beginning of each life, we care given a piece of marble for shaping. We can leave it untouched or carry it with ourselves by dragging. We can make it into pieces or carve it beautifully.

در آغاز زندگی هر فرد قطعه ای مرمر که تمثیلی از عمر اوست به وی ارزانی می شود. می توان دست نخورده رهایش کرد یا کشان کشان همراهش برد. می توان تکه تکه اش کرد یا شکوه مندانه تراشش داد

A bad thing never dies
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
A burned child dreads the fire
Actions speak louder than words
Add fuel to the fire
A good brain should have a healthy body to live in
A hungry man, an angry man
A friend in need, a friend indeed
All that glitter is not gold
A hungry belly has no ear

To experience happiness, we must train ourselves to live in this moment, to savour it for what it is, not running ahead in anticipation of some future date nor lagging behind in the paralysis of the past.

 

برای تجربه شادی بیاموز که در حال زندگی کنی واز ان همان گونه که هست لذت ببری. نه به انتظار فرصتی در اینده می باید بود و نه در ناکامی گذشته می باید زیست
