Improving your motivation
Before you start reading, you should know this: Learning English requires action. You may know all the learning tips, but if you don't start doing things, you will achieve nothing. Therefore our method is not just for reading; it is for reading and doing. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 EnglishCN.com)
You need two things to learn English well — passion and effective learning methods — and passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English; the learning methods only tell you how to do it faster.
Step 1: Choose a topic
Pick something you’re interested in that falls within the limits of your assignment. If you're having trouble coming up with....

Uncensored English UE03 - idioms - kick ass
This podcast covers the phrase to kick (someone’s / something’s) ass and kick-ass as an adjective. First we need to talk about the ass part. It can refer to a real ass (butt or bum), but usually the ass is metaphorical. That is, it’s not a question of a real-world, physical ass; the ass stands for something else. In fact, all usages of kick ass that don’t involve a physical foot connecting to a physical ass are metaphorical figures of speech.
For example, “We got our ass(es) kicked in the football game last night” means “The other team beat us by a good margin.” It’s unlikely that any team member’s ass actually had contact with a foot.
The expression kick ass is used as an adjective and in verb phrases. First we’ll look at the verbs...

Don't worry about your active
vocabulary
Many advanced English learners have a large "passive vocabulary", but they worry about the size of their "active vocabulary". They can understand many difficult English words when reading or listening, but they don't use most of them when speaking or writing in English. They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that they know.
If you are a learner who worries about his active vocabulary, this article may convince you to stop worrying.
People understand many more words than they use in their own conversations. One's passive vocabulary is much larger than one's active vocabulary. The total number of words actively used in one's whole life is much smaller than the total number of words understood in one's whole life.
This statement has nothing to do with foreign languages. It is about how people use their native language.
Myself و ديگر ضماير انعكاسي
Myself and Other Reflexive Pronouns
by Elaine Ernst Schneider
January 31, 2001 rev. May 2003
"I myself have done that."
"Jim, Susie, and myself were planning a trip."
"He wasn't even sure hisself how to go about it."
"You need to give that to myself when you are done."
"They decided just to do that theirselves."
Which ones are correct? Which ones are unacceptable? Why?
The words "myself," "himself," "herself," "ourselves," and "themselves" are reflexive pronouns. Reflexive use is not often addressed in grammar books. We find present, past, future, and perfect tenses. And we find the various cases of pronouns. Both of those are enough to keep the average person confused! Then the "myself" word rears its ugly head and there are few books that offer rules for its use. Let me offer some guidelines....
The following quotations are taken from official
court records across the nation, showing how funny and embarrassing it is that
recorders operate at all times in courts of law, so that even the slightest
inadvertence is preserved for posterity.

Lawyer: "Now, Mrs. Johnson, how was your first
marriage terminated?"

look at my face when I took your purse?"

This book makes American English phrases “duck soup.”
101 American English Idioms takes the mystery out of these common U.S. expressions and explains their meanings in context. On the audio CD, native speakers read each of the 101 idioms, so you can hear how American English sounds and practice what you have learned.
What Americans really mean when they say . . .
Drive someone up a wall--annoy someone greatly
Raise a stink--protest strongly
Pull someone's leg--fool someone
All thumbs--clumsy
Shoot the breeze--chat informally
Feel like a million dollars--feel wonderful
Duck soup--easy, effortless

چگونه ميتوان معاني اصطلاحاتي كه در ديكشنري يافت نمي شود پيدا كرد
Idioms are notoriously difficult for non-native speakers, because they usually don’t make sense if you translate them word for word. For example, the idiom “to kick the bucket” has nothing to do with buckets and everything to do with dying. Most learners are eager to learn about idioms because native speakers use them so frequently. So understanding idioms is important for understanding native speakers, and for sounding more native-like yourself!
If you are reading or listening to B@E, you are probably already and independent learner of English who is used to looking up idioms in your dictionary. If you’re really keen, you might even have a special dictionary of idioms. Dictionaries are indispensable tools for learning the meaning of idiomatic words and phrases. But they are not perfect: we’ve all experienced the frustration of discovering that the idiom we’re looking just isn’t in our dictionary. Luckily, there is a simple trick for finding idioms on the Internet. Here is how you do it:

‘I

where there is no frost in men’s bones. Swift thought and the flight of
ravenous birds,and the squeal of hunted animals are to me reality.’ Liam O’Flaherty |
I would like to post
here some big tips from Henrik Edberg to improve our conversation that I
happened to find from his blog. I think that we, Vietnamese in particular,
usually miss these points since we were not taught at school or very little at
home (at least it is my case) . I hope these tips are as useful for you as they
are for me in rare occasions such as taking Speaking English tests or going
to interviews.
————–
Words are only 7
percent of your conversation. The rest is your voice tonality (38 percent)
and your body language at 55 percent. That’s according to research done by Albert
Mehrabian, currently Professor Emeritus in psychology at UCLA. These numbers
may vary depending upon the situation and what is communicated (for instance,
talking over the phone is obviously different from talking face to face) but
body language is a very important part of communication
Improving
your body language can make a big difference in your people skills,
attractiveness and general mood.
There
is no specific advice on how to use your body language. What you do might be
interpreted in several ways, depending on the setting and who you are talking
to. You’ll probably want to use your body language differently when talking to
your boss compared to when you talk to a girl/guy you’re interested in. These
are some common interpretations of body language and often more effective ways
to communicate with your body.
First,
to change your body language you must be aware of your body language. Notice
how you sit, how you stand, how you use you hands and legs, what you do while
talking to someone.
You
might want to practice in front of a mirror. Yeah, it might seem silly but no
one is watching you. This will give you good feedback on how you look to other
people and give you an opportunity to practise a bit before going out into the
world.
Another
tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel
confident, open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. See yourself
move like that version of yourself. Then try it out.
You
might also want observe friends, role models, movie stars or other people you
think has good body language. Observe what they do and you don’t. Take bits and
pieces you like from different people. Try using what you can learn from them.
Some
of these tips might seem like you are faking something. But fake it til you
make it is a useful way to learn something new. And remember, feelings work
backwards too. If you smile a bit more you will feel happier. If you sit up
straight you will feel more energetic and in control. If you slow down your
movements you’ll feel calmer. Your feelings will actually reinforce your new
behaviours and feelings of weirdness will dissipate.
In the
beginning easy it’s to exaggerate your body language. You might sit with your
legs almost ridiculously far apart or sit up straight in a tense pose all the
time. That’s ok. And people aren’t looking as much as you think, they are
worrying about their own problems. Just play around a bit, practice and monitor
yourself to find a comfortable balance.
1.
Don’t cross your arms or legs – You have probably already heard
you shouldn’t cross your arms as it might make you seem defensive or guarded.
This goes for your legs too. Keep your arms and legs open.
2.
Have eye contact, but don’t stare – If there are several people
you are talking to, give them all some eye contact to create a better
connection and see if they are listening. Keeping too much eye-contact might
creep people out. Giving no eye-contact might make you seem insecure. If you
are not used to keeping eye-contact it might feel a little hard or scary in the
beginning but keep working on it and you’ll get used to it.
3.
Don’t be afraid to take up some space – Taking up space by for example
sitting or standing with your legs apart a bit signals self-confidence and that
you are comfortable in your own skin.
4.
Relax your shoulders – When you feel tense it’s easily winds up as
tension in your shoulders. They might move up and forward a bit. Try to relax.
Try to loosen up by shaking the shoulders a bit and move them back slightly.
5. Nod
when they are talking – nod once in a while to signal that you are
listening. But don’t overdo it and peck like Woody Woodpecker...
As most people find
TOEIC listening Part One an easy place to pick up points and it comes at the
beginning of the exam and so can give you confidence for the rest of the test,
it is well worth spending some time and effort thinking about how you can get
the most out of it. Below are 100 ideas on how you can improve your score in
the short and long term, most of which you can do on your own outside of class:
1.
Concentrate
on your pronunciation. More than sentences
that you would not understand if you read them, most people have problems with
sentences in the exam that they would understand if they could read them
carefully but have trouble understanding quickly when listening to them from a
native speaker speaking at natural speed. Working on your own pronunciation is
the best way of making sure you recognize English words and sentences when you
hear them in the TOEIC exam.
2.
Buy
an electronic dictionary that speaks. If you can get a dictionary that has different accents you can
also use that to make sure you are familiar with American accents (most of the
test) or British and Australian accents (some parts of the test that people who
have only studied American English can find difficult).
3.
Learn
homonyms. Homonyms are words
that have the same spelling and pronunciation but totally different meanings,
and so have different entries in a dictionary. These are sometimes used in the
exam to try and fool you into choosing the wrong answer in Listening Part One.
You can find lists of homonyms on the internet, and learning the more common
ones can also be a good way of learning similar words that you didn't know.
4. Learn homophones. Sometimes a question will try to fool you by using a word with the same pronunciation but a different meaning in that sentence to the thing you can see in the picture. By learning words that sound the same but have different spellings you can make sure you recognize each word in its context in the sentence. Learning words this way can also help you get the pronunciation exactly right...
201
Rattle your bottles in Rollocks' van.
202
A fly and flea flew into a flue,
said the fly to the flea 'what shall we do?'
'let us fly' said the flea
said the fly 'shall we flee'
so they flew through a flaw in the flue.

How much dew does a dewdrop drop
If dewdrops do drop dew?
They do drop, they do
As do dewdrops drop
If dewdrops do drop dew.

The word "queue" is the only word in the English language that is still pronounced the same way when the last four letters are removed. Beetles taste like apples, wasps like pine nuts, and worms like fried bacon. Of all the words in the English language, the word 'set' has the most definitions! What is called a "French kiss" in the English speaking world is known as an "English kiss" in France. "Almost" is the longest word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order. "Rhythm" is the longest English word without a vowel.

The Tell-Tale Heart
Edgar Allan Poe
TRUE! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily, how calmly, I can tell you the whole story.
It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain, but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture -- a pale blue eye with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me my blood ran cold, and so by degrees, very gradually, I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye for ever.
Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded -- with what caution -- with what foresight, with what dissimulation, I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night about midnight I turned the latch of his door and opened it oh, so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern all closed, closed so that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly, very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! would a madman have been so wise as this? And then when my head was well in the room I undid the lantern cautiously -- oh, so cautiously -- cautiously (for the hinges creaked), I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this I did for seven long nights, every night just at midnight, but I found the eye always closed, and so it was impossible to do the work, for it was not the old man who vexed me but his Evil Eye. And every morning, when the day broke, I went boldly into the chamber and spoke courageously to him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and inquiring how he had passed the night. So you see he would have been a very profound old man, indeed , to suspect that every night, just at twelve, I looked in upon him while he slept...
ترفند هاي ساده جهت موفق شدن در قدرت شنيداري زبان انگليسي
Listenning skill is one of the most difficult among all other English learning skill because it gives you the least time for your brain to process.
Speakers never stop and let you understand word by word before moving on to the next sentence.If they do the conversation is going to take a whole
day.
Moreover, there are hundreds different English pronunciation around the world. Even people in the same countries who speak the same language have
different pronunciation.
It is normal that American people from the north do not fully understand those from the south. The way of life, climate and everything all impact
pronunciation.
So, how do you overcome those? How can you understand when people speak English? Well, it is not that difficult....

Of course, no single book can claim to have completely dealt with all the common mistakes English learners and speakers make, but this one did a good job in that light. It is effective in tackling grammatical errors: whether subject-verb agreement or complex tense use. It also prescribes when to use active or passive report.
Students can use this book as a self-study companion. It provided rich and varied approach to grammatical applications. Generous focus was given to all the parts-of-speech, as well as to a variety of phrasal verbs.
In a nutshell, this is a useful book for both learners and advanced native speakers. Its low price and emphases on contemporary vocabulary would be welcomed by all. Call it an affordable asset!

Learn English Laughing |
Humor is important in learning a language. Not only does it enable the student to learn new vocabulary in context but it also is a motivating force. The student begins to feel like she is in the world of the new language. Puns are especially valuable because they stress meaning.
Puns
Learn English Laughing? Well, maybe not laughing... Puns usually make people groan. They say that for a pun to be good, it has to be really bad. As a matter of fact, they are called "groaners".
A pun is a little word game, playing with language. Most puns use a word that has two meanings, or use two words that sound almost the same.
Here are some puns. Use your knowledge of English, and your dictionary if necessary, to explain the pun.
Example: Why is an empty purse always the same? Because there is never any change in it. In this pun, the word "change" has two meanings: 1. coins and small bills, 2. alteration....

Differences in American and British English Grammar |
These two varieties of English are very similar that most American and British speakers can understand each other without great difficulty. There are, however, a few differences of grammar, vocabulary and spelling. The following guide is meant to point out the principal differences between American English (AE) and British English (BE).
Use of the Present Perfect
The British use the present perfect to talk about a past action which has an effect on the present moment. In American English, both simple past and present perfect are possible in such situations.
Accent Reduction: Top Ten Tips
At the same time, immigration is up in some countries, especially Canada, where the government has now incorporated more support, more programs and more funding to ensure that immigrants who arrive here can get employed a lot faster than what is currently the case. However, most students and immigrants will tell you, that their perceived lack of English capability and their self-imposed shyness with using it can create a real barrier to not only employment, but all around enjoyment of their new or host country.
I have had the pleasure of teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) students and immigrants accent reduction since 1998, and have come to rely on a few tips to help the learner reduce their accent quickly.
Without further ado, I give you my top 10 tips to accent reduction.
1 – Imitate the desired accent and expressions of the people around you e.g. co-workers, T.V. and film characters, teachers, etc....

A Guide to Punctuation |
Full stop / Period
The punctuation mark full stop (.) [UK: full stop, USA: period] is used to close sentences. A new sentence that follows a full stop has a capital letter.
Honesty is the best policy.
Sweet are the uses of adversity.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Full stops are also used in writing abbreviations. This is becoming less common in British English.
Examples:
oz. for ounce (s)
Prof. for professor
i.e. for "in other words" or "that is"
e.g. for "for example"
Question marks
Question marks (?) are used to close direct questions. A new sentence that follows a question mark has a capital letter...
Why is translation into the mother tongue more successful than into a second language?
It is commonly believed that translators are better at translating into their native language than into a second language. The underlying reason for this assumption is that translators have a more profound linguistic and cultural background of their mother tongue than of a second language which they have to learn in order to be well-versed translators. By the same token, the translator who translates into his or her native language has a more natural and practical knowledge of the various linguistic elements of his or her native language, such as semantics, syntax, morphology and lexicology than the translator who translates into a foreign language. In addition, translation into the first language enables translators to render cultural elements such as proverbs, idioms, metaphors, collocations, swear words and others into proper equivalents in their mother tongue because such translators are born and bred in the culture into which they translate these culture-bound aspects. In fact, the translators' first language is naturally acquired in a culture and environment where the first language is naturally acquired and practiced. On the other hand, their second language is, for the most part, learned, rather than acquired, later on in the course of their life. As a result, the linguistic and cultural knowledge of their second language is always in progress and never complete. In this respect, James Dickins (2005) points out...

25 كتاب كه تا قبل از 25 سالگي بايد خوند
(چهار كتاب اول توسط سايت مرجع تخصصي ترجمه جمع آوري شدند)
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
This classic novel is set in a futuristic time when firefighters are employed not to fight fires but to set fire to the ultimate symbol of human knowledge: books. In a grim look at an alternate reality, the all-powerful government has banned all books from society, and anyone found with a book in his possession is guilty of the highest possible crime.
Bradbury’s greatest novel is a testament to the value of learning and knowledge. Readers become adamant opponents of censorship and vigilant guardians of freedom from government control.

The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay
If you’re looking for some inspiration in your life, look no further than The Power of One. Set in South Africa during World War II, The Power of One tells the story of Peekay, an English boy who spends his childhood under constant abuse from his peers. Peekay finds a release in boxing and sets his dream to become the welterweight champion of world.
What follows is a classic David vs. Goliath tale, although in this instance Goliath is an entire country. Not only will this novel rock your emotions, it’s beautifully written and depicts pre-apartheid South Africa vividly.
The Power of One will give you hope, inspiration and make you realize the vast potential everyone is capable of.

To Kill A Mockingbird is the story of a lawyer in a small southern town, who is given the improbable task of defending a young black man accused of raping a white woman. The story is told through the eyes of the lawyer’s children Scout and Jem and their friend Dill in a coming-of-age story.
Harper Lee’s book is a classic of an era. In simplicity, it captures a time, the innocence of youth, and a social perspective of a time in 1950s America when racism was prevalent. Reading this book is not just about critiquing our past, but being honest about our present philosophies.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
A muckraking tale of the dark side of the American Dream, The Jungle chronicles the lives of a Lithuanian immigrant family struggling to make it in Chicago. Sinclair’s detailed description of the horrors of the meat-packing industry is spince-tingling awful. The book’s underlying current of socialism paints a picture of the United States at a time when big companies swallowed peoples’ hopes, dreams and sometimes their lives.

This Feeling When It Rains
I don't know this feeling when it rains;
when the sky is heavy
and the air is wet;
when the leaves are fresh
and the grass shiny;
when crystals are all around
and the weather cool;
when the wind blows soft
and whispers like a dream;
when it is nice to sleep
and build tales in the mind;
when girls become pretty
and their hair so smooth;
when lovers become sweet
and the birds sing cheer;
when the farmers smile
and trees grow tall;
when the world looks beautiful
and you know Someone cares.
The Songs of Levi
So sweet and pleasing
are the songs of Levi;
so full of love,
faith in God
and philosophy;
elegant in style,
creamed with rhetoric
London
The oldest part of London is "the City". Only 5,000 people live there, but about 300,000 work there. Greater London has got more than 12 million people. Lots of people live in suburbs, so they have to go to work to London every day. That's why there are many cars in the morning and in the evening (rush hour). The people use the Underground (Tube), the bus and the train to come to work. London has two main airports, Heathrow and Gatwick where many tourists arrive. The people visit London's many famous sights. The Tower of London was first a castle, later a prison and is now a museum where you can see the Crown Jewels. Tower Bridge is the most famous bridge across the River Thames. It can also open when big ship has to go up- or downstream. The Queen (Elisabeth II) lives in Buckingham Palace. St. Paul's Cathedral was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Westminster Abbey is the place where the kings and queens are crowned. The first was William the Conqueror. Lots of people like to go shopping in Harrods (rather expensive) or in the department stores in Oxford Street. The best is to visit the street markets in Petticoat Lane, Portobello Road or in Camden. There you can get cheap and curious things as well. London Dungeon, an old underground station shows London's violent history. Street artists can be watched in Covent Garden. The Houses of Parliament are on the River Thames next to the Clock Tower with Big Ben. The Prime Minister (Gordon Brown) lives in 10 Downing Street. Hyde Park is a marvellous place for relaxing. The West End is an excellent place for going to cinemas, theatres or discos.
