🟢Stress

Stress. Nasty thing. I hate being stressed but I’m not sure why. The stress disappears and then everything is back to normal. I need to tell myself that the stressful situation will be over soon. I wonder if people are more stressed today than they were 100 years ago. I think they probably are. There are more things to get stressed about these days – exams, money, jobs, trains, anything and everything. I get stressed when I have to meet a deadline and the time is running out. Fortunately, there are many things to do to get rid of stress. I reduce my stress by chatting with friends or going for a run. Life seems better then. Hmmm… I wonder what will give me stress next. I’ll get my running shoes ready so I can manage it.

استرس. چیز کثیف. از استرسی بودن متنفرم ولی مطمئن نیستم چرا. استرس از بین میره و بعدش همه چی به حالت نرمال برمی‌گرده. باید به خودم بگم که موقعیت پراسترس زودی تموم میشه. کنجکاوم که آیا مردم الان نسبت به صد سال قبل استرسی تر هستند یا نه. به گمونم احتمالاً اینطوری هستند. این روزا چیزای زیادی هست که بابتش استرسی بشیم- امتحانات، پول، مشاغل، قطارها، هر چیز و هر کس. وقتی مجبورم کاری رو سر موقع انجام بدم و زمان داره تموم میشه استرسی می شم. خوشبختانه، چیزهای زیادی برای انجام هست تا از شر استرس راحت شد. من استرسم رو از طریق صحبت با دوستان و دویدن کم می‌کنم. اونوقت زندگی بهتر به نظر میرسه. همممم... کنجکاوم چیزی که بعدش بهم استرس خواهد داد چیه. کفش‌های مخصوص دویدنم رو آماده می‌کنم تا بتونم استرس رو مدیریت کنم.

🟢The farm boy

👉 A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagonload of corn in the road. The farmer who lived nearby came to see what had happened. "Hey boy ", he called out, "forget your trouble for a moment and come on in and have dinner with us. Then I will help you get the wagon up." " that is very nice of you", the boy answered , "But I don't think Pa would like me to do it."

"Oh, come on, son," the farmer insisted. "Well, okay, " the boy finally agreed. "But pa won't like it." After a hearty dinner, the boy thanked his host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know pa is going to be upset." " I don't think so," said the neighbor. "By the way, where is your pa?" " He is under the wagon."

🟢 پسر مزرعه دار "روستایی"

👈 پسری روستایی واگن پر از ذرت خود را تصادفا در جاده چپ کرد. کشاورزی که در آن نزدیکی زندگی می کرد ، آمده بود تا ببیند چه اتفاقی افتاده. او با صدای بلند گفت : آهای پسر ، ناراحتی هایت را فراموش کن و به خانه ما بیا و شام را با ما صرف کن. بعد من کمک می کنم که واگن را راست کنی. پسر جواب داد: شما خیلی لطف دارید ، ولی فکر نمی کنم بابام بخواهد من این کار را بکنم.

کشاورز با اصرار گفت : آه بیا برویم پسرم. بالاخره پسر موافقت کرد و گفت: بسیار خوب ، باشد ، ولی بابام دوست ندارد. بعد از شام صمیمانه ، پسر از میزبانش تشکر کرد و گفت : حالا حالم خیلی بهتر شده ، اما می دانم بابام واقعا عصبانی خواهد شد. همسایه گفت : من فکر نمی کنم ، راستی بابات کجاست؟ " زیر واگن است."

The first thing you need to do is to start learning. Many learners of English keep asking questions about how they can learn and improve their English skills. They get advice on how to improve their language skills, but they don't put the advice into practice. They don't take action; therefore, they remain at the same level with no progress at all.

This type of learners want to have a magical device that can make them learn in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, this device doesn't exist. There's no magical device or wand that would make you a good speaker. The only way you can really improve your skills is to start doing so. You need to get the ball rolling.

Before I started learning English, I had always been one of those who want to become fluent in no time. It didn't work, and it will never work. What I realized is that things will not get better unless you start taking action. It doesn't matter how big or small that action is. The most important thing is to start. Even if you move at a slow speed, that's OK. As time goes by, your speed will go up. As the saying goes: small actions will add up to big results.

When I started out, I never thought that one day I would reach this level and be doing what I'm doing. I put in small efforts everyday and I kept it that way. That's what helped me to come this far. Now that I have reached this level, I want to go further and become better. I want to achieve bigger goals.

So what really matters is to start putting in the efforts. Your actions don't have to be impressive. You can go at a pace you find suitable for yourself. You don't have to do great things at once. Start taking action. As time goes by, you will improve. You will notice that you can do better and achieve bigger goals, then you will be impressive and you will be amazed by what you are truly capable of.
