Learn about what is going on in the world in English!

           

 

         Many people misunderstand the meaning of entertainment in learning. They think of it as a waste of time, and students should rather be in a serious learning class. I believe in learning with entertainment, which leads me to disagree with them. They are mistaken when they define entertainment in learning by a west of time, and they certainly wrong when they think that students have to study in serious way if they want to make progress in their learning. I am an ESL student, and I spend most of my day in classes. When I get back home, I feel tired and not willing to do serious studying. I have list of websites that teach English with some entertainment . One of these sites, which is my favorite, is CNN Student. It has a daily podcast about what happen around the world. The products are rich with many vocabulary and interesting information. Moreover, there is discussion questions about the daily podcast topic to help making the topic clearer. in addition,They provide archive if you miss a podcast or want to watch it again. The thing that I really like in this particular website is they provide a script for the podcast, so you have the entire speech including new vocabulary that you do not know. I strongly recommend this website because of the contents and the way they represent it.

Inspiring Video

                      There are many things in my life that push me forward and give strength to achieve my goals.  Some of these can not be shared, even with my best friends or my parents. Not because they are confidential or absurd, but because they are hard to explain how they inspire me.   
               Yet, the video at the bottom is one of the videos that literally I have watched over twenty times and I still have the desire to watch it again. The video is one of Michael Jordan inspiration videos on the Internet. I am not big fan or anything, but the wisdom in this video are very inspiring. He is telling young basketball players how hard he worked to achieves his goals. He said a sentence that inspire me a lot, " Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a God-given gift, and not something I worked for every single day of my life." He made me believe that there is nothing you can achieve without hard work, successful is not an easy thing to get. I hope you enjoy the video as I do.

 

 

         This is the video's script, just in case if you wanted to quote something from this video or maybe you have difficulty in understanding it. I highly recommend you to watch this video and follow  the script for high comprehension.

   "Maybe it's my fault.

Maybe I let you to believe it was easy, when it wasn't.

Maybe I made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not at the gym.

Maybe I made you think that every shot I took, was a game winner.

That my game was built on flash, and not fire.

Maybe it's my fault that you didn't see that failure gave you strength. That my pain, was my motivation.

Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a God-given gift, and not something I worked for every single day of my life.

Maybe I destroyed the game.

Or maybe, you're just making excuses."

One Of My Favorite Places In The World

Big Sur, California.

            Big Sur is a small region of the Central Coast of California. It was our main destination in our rod trip for the spring break 2013. My friends and I were arguing whether we should spend just one day over there for small exploration or settle for more couple days. finally we compromised and agreed to spend tow days, and they were the best days of the trip!

 



                     

 

 

 

 

            I was amazed by how beautiful the ocean was. The weather was just perfect to have tremendous joy of living inside this view. My friends were busy taking pictures. However, I took couple of them just for my album, then I got busy breathing ocean's air and staring at its beauty. I was not able to leave. The view and weather made me happy and fresh that I wanted to stay and enjoy the beach all the day long.

          After that, we went to our first hiking trip! It was fabulous experience. We prepared our self the with plenty of snakes and water and then we started our hiking, yet we did not last for a long time. We stepped after we faced a dead end, and we  felt that we had to have a rest and enjoy eating some snakes. After we finished we felt tire so we decided to return back to our car.

          Before we ended our day, we went back to the ocean to enjoy the last moments of the day there. The view of the sun disappearing behind the ocean was phenomenal. many people were standing and watching the sunset, no one talk or even move. Everyone wanted to enjoy every moment of such a great view.
