رموز الأصوات في اللغة الإنجليزية

رموز الأصوات في اللغة الإنجليزية

- عند دمج الأحرف _s , i , o , n بحيث تصبح _sion فإنها تنطق ( جن ) بكسر الجيم مثال : _misson ( ميجن ) ومعناها : مهمة.



طبعاً في اللغة الإنجليزية sion له نطقان إما (شن أو جن)
ولكن كيف نفرق بين النطقين؟
إن كان هذا التركيب مسبوق بحرف علة ينطق (جن) مثل:

vision - television - division - explosion - illusion - conclusion

أما أن كان التركيب مسبوق بحرف ساكن فينطق (شن) مثل:
mission - expression - possession - compulsion

هذه الكلمتان تنطق بـِ (شن - جن) inversion - excursion
لكنها في الغالب تنطق بـِ شن


2- عند دمج حرفي t و h فإنه ينتج لدينا التركيب th وينطق كحرف ( ث ) في العربية وعند إضافة الحرف e في نهاية التركيب السابق حيث يصبح the فإنه ينطق كحرف ( ذ ) في العربية في أغلب الأحيان.


التركيب th ينتج عنه الصوتين (ث - ذ) جميعها موجودة في اللغة العربية ولا يوجد قاعدة في اللغة الإنجليزية تحدد ما إذا كان ينطق
(ث أو ذ) .. وهنا لايجدي معها إلاّ الحفظ كما تسمع من أهل اللغة ...

كلمات تنطق بـِ (ذ) مثل:
this - these - those - that - their- although - thus - though - they - the - then - either - father - mother - together - breathe

وغيرها من الكلمات ...

كلمات تنطق بـِ (ث) مثل:
three - thing - thread - author - method - breathe - mouth - month - thick - thousand - theme - theater

وغيرها من الكلمات ...

بالمناسبة th أحياناً ينطق t مثل في هذه الكلمتان فقط
Thomas توماس (اسم شخص)

من أجل تحدث افضل للغة الانجليزية

 من أجل تحدث افضل للغة الانجليزية

تحسين مهاراتك فى تحدث الانجليزية سوف يساعدك من التواصل بشكل افضل و اكثر سهولة و فاعلية . و لكن كيف يمكنك أن تصبح متحدث للغة الانجليزية اكثر ثقة من نفسه ؟

1- مارس اللغة حيثما ذهبت و فى كل وقت : اى ممارسة للغة الانجيزية جيدة سواء أكنت تتحد ث الى متحدث لغته الام هى الانجليزية ام لا .



2- من المهم ان تبنى ثقتك بنفسك : فحيثما أمكن استخدم الكلمات و العبارات التى تعرف و التى تعلم أنها صحيحة و ذلك حتى تتمكن من التركيز على نقل رسالتك للآخرين



3- حاول ان تجرب لغتك الانجليزية التى تعرفها : استخدم الكلمات والعبارات فى المواقف الجديدة . و متحدثوا اللغة الانجليزية الاصليين سيعملون على تصحيح أخطاء كلماتك أكثر من تصحيحهم لقواعد اللغة .و ممارسة المفردات هى طريق ممتاز لاسترجاع هذه المفردات .



4- حاول الاستجابة إلى ما يقوله الناس لك : و بامكانك ان تحصل على مفاتيح تدلك على ما يفكر الناس به من خلال ملاحظة لغة أجسادهم . و يجب أن تستجيب لهم بطريقة طبيعية .



5- حاول ألا تترجم : من و إلى لغتك الام لان هذا الامر يستغرق وقتا طويلا من ناحية كما يجعلك متردد و غير واثق و أكثر ترددا .


6- إذا نسيت كلمة : قم بمثل ما يقوم به متحدثوا اللغة الانجليزية الاصليين طوال الوقت ، و قل اى شئ لملء المحادثة . و هذا الامر أفضل من البقاء صامتا و حاول استخدام اللفظ ( مممممم ) حينما تنسى كلمة .

7- لا تتحدث سريعا أكثر من اللازم : فإنه من المفيد أن تستخدم إيقاعا طبيعيا عند تحدثك الانجليزية و لكنك اذا تحدثت بشكل سريع اكثر من اللازم فإن الامر سيكون صعبا على الناس أن يفهموك


8- حاول ان تسترخى : عندما تتحدث – فستجد أن فمك يقوم بمعظم النطق بدلا عنك .و حينما تتحدث الانجليزية بسرعة طبيعية فستجد أن الكثير من مهارات النطق مثل الربط بين الكلمات ستحدث اتوملتيكيا


و تذكر عند تحدثك للإنجليزية ..............
حاول ان تكون اقل ترددا و أكثر ثقة


حاول الا تكون خجولا ، فكلما حاولت الا تكون خجولا كلما ازدادت ثقتك بنفسك

تذكر دائما أن تكون مؤدبا . استخدم – من فضلك و شكرا لك اذا كنت تطلب من شخص ما ان يقوم بشئ من اجلك

Always Have A Dream (Poem)

always have a dream

Forget about the days
when its been cloudy, but
don't forget your hours in the sun



Forget about the times
you've been defeated, but
don't forget the victories you've won



Forget about mistakes
that you can't change now, but
don't forget the lessons
that you've learnt



Forget about Misfortunes
you encounter, But
Don't Forget the Times
Your Luck Has Turned



Forget about the days
When you've been lonely, But
don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen



Forget about the Plans
that didn't seem
to work out right, but



Don't forget to always have A Dream

قصة ابكت ملايين

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
صلي اللهم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى اله الكرام
أقدم لكم هذه القصة التي أبكت الملايين في يوتوب

لسوف أعود يا أمي ,, I will be back my mother

يروي أحد أبناء الغرب والذي دخل في الأسلام حديثا
كان لأمي عين واحدة... وقد كرهتها... لأنها كانت تسبب لي الإحراج.
My mom only had one eye.
I hated her... she was such an embarrassment

وكانت تعمل طاهية في المدرسة التي أتعلم فيها لتعيل العائلة
.She coked for students & teachers to support the family

ذات يوم...في المرحلة الابتدائية جاءت لتطمئن عَلي.
here was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me.

أحسست بالإحراج فعلاً ... كيف فعلت هذا بي؟!
!!I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me

تجاهلتها, ورميتها بنظرة مليئة بالكره.
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out

وفي اليوم التالي قال أحد التلامذة ... أمك
بعين واحده ... أووووه
The next day at school one of my classmates said
"EEEE, your mom only has one eye!"

وحينها تمنيت أن أدفن نفسي
وأن تختفي امي من حياتي.
I wanted to bury myself.
I also wanted my mom to just disappear.

في اليوم التالي واجهتها :
لقد جعلتِ مني أضحوكة, لِم لا تموتين ؟!!
So I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?!!!"

ولكنها لم تُجب!!!
My mom did not respond!!!

لم أكن متردداً فيما قلت ولم أفكر بكلامي لأني كنت غاضباً جداً .
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger.

ولم أبالي لمشاعرها ...
I was oblivious to her feelings…

وأردت مغادرة المكان..
I wanted out of that house..

درست بجد وحصلتُ على منحة للدراسة في سنغافورة.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go to Singapore to study

وفعلاً.. ذهبت .. ودرست .. ثم تزوجت .. واشتريت بيتاً .. وأنجبت أولاداً وكنت سعيداً ومرتاحاً في حياتي.
Then, I got married.
I bought a house of my own.
I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life

وفي يوم من الأيام ..أتت أمي لزيارتي ولم تكن قد رأتني منذ سنوات ولم ترى أحفادها أبداً!
Then one day, my mother came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren!.

وقفت على الباب وأخذ أولادي يضحكون...
When she stood by the door, my children laughed
at her

صرخت: كيف تجرأتِ وأتيت لتخيفي اطفالي؟.. اخرجي حالاً!!!
I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children!"
GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!"

أجابت بهدوء: (آسفة .. أخطأتٌ العنوان على ما يبدو).. واختفت....
And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry.
I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight.

وذات يوم وصلتني رسالة من المدرسة تدعوني لجمع الشمل العائلي.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house

فكذبت على زوجتي وأخبرتها أنني سأذهب في رحلة عمل...
So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip…

بعد الاجتماع ذهبت الى البيت القديم الذي كنا نعيش فيه, للفضول فقط!!!.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity!!!.

أخبرني الجيران أن أمي.... توفيت.
My neighbors said that she died.

لم أذرف ولو دمعة واحدة !!
I did not shed a single tear!!.

قاموا بتسليمي رسالة من أمي ....
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have…

ابني الحبيب.. لطالما فكرت بك..
"My dearest son, I think of you all the time..

آسفة لمجيئي إلى سنغافورة وإخافة أولادك.
I'm sorry that I came to Singapore and scared your children.

كنت سعيدة جداً عندما سمعتُ أنك سوف تأتي للاجتماع.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.

ولكني قد لا أستطيع مغادرة السرير لرؤيتك.
But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.

آسفة لأنني سببت لك الإحراج مراتٍ ومرات في حياتك.
I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up

هل تعلم... لقد تعرضتَ لحادثٍ عندما كنت صغيراً وقد فقدتَ عينك.
You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye.

وكأي أم, لم استطع أن أتركك تكبر بعينٍ واحدةٍ...
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye.

ولِذا... أعطيتكَ عيني .....
So… I gave you mine…..

وكنتُ سعيدة وفخورة جداً لأن ابني يستطيع رؤية العالم بعيني.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.

مع حبي
with my love to you
امــــــك

سبحان الله اذا كانت هذه رحمة الأم بولدها

( عن عمر بن الخطاب (أنه قدم على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بسبي (سبايا الحرب)
فأذا امرأة من السبي تبتغي اذا وجدت صبيا في السبي أخذته فألصقته ببطنها وأرضعته
فقال لنا : أترون هذه المرأة طارحة ولدها في النار
قلنا لا والله وهي تقدر ألا تطرحه
فقال : الله أرحم بعباده من هذه بولدها)
omar ibnulkhattab said (while we had some captives we saw captive a woman taking babies,held themtight and breast fed them. theprophet asked us
do you think this woman will throw her baby in fire? we said:no if she has the choice; then he said: allah is moremerciful to his worshipers than her to her son

Seven Ages of Man By William Shakespeare

Seven Ages of Man

By William Shakespeare

analysis of seven ages of man

Seven Ages of man is a poem written by William Shakespeare. It's actually a speech given by one of his characters named Jacques in his play As You Like it. Jacques is a pessimistic character who the poet uses to portray the life of a man in seven different parts. The first line of the poem "All the worlds a stage is a metaphor in which the world is associated with a stage. It is also the central metaphor around which the entire poem revolves. The next few lines also use similar terminology related to theatre. The word "All" in the first line establishes universality and we are told that men everywhere go through the same phases of life. The next line "...Just like actors, men and women in this world are not free to do as they will and are directed and controlled

****************************

The poem commences with life being compared to a huge stage where all of us are only actors. Each person has an entry into the world at birth and exits it at death.

According to Shakespeare, every man plays several parts during his life time. On the stage of life every man has seven acts. The first act of man is infancy. At this time all that the baby does is cry and puke on his nurse's lap. After he goes through his infant life, he emerges as a school child who slings his bag over his shoulder and creeps most unwillingly to school.


At the next stage in life, the young man is a lover who is busy composing ballads for his beloved and sighing deeply for her attention. He graduates into a bearded soldier who promises solemnly to guard his country. He is filled with national pride, is quick to be insulted and is always ready to spring up in defense. At this point of time he is more concerned with status and reputation. From the agile soldier, he goes on to become a judge whose waistline grows as he becomes fatter and fatter. He wears a short, formal beard and his eyes become intense. He is full of wisdom, speaking to everyone in a just and wise manner.

After he has played this part, he goes into the sixth age. He becomes thin, wears spectacles, the skin around him hangs loosely. He is made fun of as being a funny old man. His youth has been left behind. His clothes hang loosely around him and his once manly voice turns into a high pitched, childish one. With this, man enters the last act where he experiences his second childhood as he becomes dependent on people once more. He is overcome by senility and forgetfulness, as he loses his faculties of sight, hearing, smell and taste, slowly but surely, and ultimately dies.

Here is the poem . Enjoy it


The Seven Ages of Man
(from As You Like It, II, vii)
by William Shakespeare


All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms;
Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin'd,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,


Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Funny Story ^_^

---

An old man lived alone in china.
He wanted to dig his potato garden,
but it was very hard work.
His only son, Tommy, who used to help him, was in prison.


The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his predicament.

Dear Tommy, I am feeling pretty bad because
it looks like I won’t be able to plant
my potato garden this year.
I’m just getting too old to be digging up
a garden plot.
If you were here, all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me. Love, Dad

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad, ‘For Heaven’s SAKE, Dad,
don’t dig up the garden! That’s where I buried the GUNS!’ Love, Tommy.

At 6am, the next morning, a dozen security agents
and local police officers showed up
and dug up the entire area without finding
any guns. They apologized to the old man and left.
That same day the old man received another
letter from his son.

Dear Dad, Go ahead and plant the potatoes now.
It’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, Tommy

Simple Ways To Relax Your Body & Mind

Life is tough. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, we all have to face many difficult and stressful situations. Being at the effect of life can leave us feeling stressed, worried, angry, confused and frustrated.

And the way we feel affects everything in our lives. When we feel bad, everything seems much worse than it is. A bad mood is like a filter that prevents us from seeing the positive things in life. Every little thing seems like another irritation.



If that's something you can relate to -- take heart -- we all know what it's like to feel stressed and frustrated. The important thing is to have the tools to recover quickly and naturally, find yourself again, and get back on track.

Here are four tips to help you relax the body and mind:

TAKE A BREAK
When things are starting to get out of hand and you can feel yourself reaching threshold, STOP. Finish what you're doing. Take a break before you start anything new.

If someone is driving you mad, make an excuse and leave the room! Go and take a walk. Get some fresh air, find some calm within and then prepare yourself to get stuck in again!
AVOID STIMULANTS
Tea, coffee, fizzy drinks and chocolate all contain caffeine. Over the course of the day, this can add to your stress level considerably.

Why not prepare yourself a healthy alternative? Bottled water, freshly squeezed fruit juice and herbal teas are excellent for maintaining your body's natural water balance and helping you keep cool under pressure.
USE A SOOTHING VOICE
Use a relaxed and soothing tone of voice, not just out loud, but also when you talk to yourself. A soft, low, melodious tone opens up the relaxation circuits in your mind and helps you stay calm even in heated situations.

A friend of mine once told me "Life is a struggle. But once you accept that, it becomes a lot easier."

We can learn to deal with life's challenges by setting aside some time to go to work on ourselves, developing a state of acceptance. When we can learn to calm our minds and separate ourselves from our problems, we are on the road to significant improvement

You don't miss your water till the well runs dry (Poem)

 

You don't miss your water till the well runs dry

As I sail with you across the finest oceans
On our way to find the key to our emotions
Together will me move the clouds to brighter days
Some people question what I say
Try to break up you and me


But I know this love between us is growing stronger
You can call me whenever, from wherever just remember that
I'll be there through all the stormy weather
Us break up never, no, we'll be together forever


You don't miss your water till the well runs dry
But I believe so strongly with you and I
Can somebody answer me the question why?
You don't miss your water till the well runs dry


As I close my eyes, sit back while reminiscing
Of when we used to fuss and fight but end up kissing
There may be sad and painful times along the way
But in my heart you'll always be everything and more to me


For I know this love between us is growing stronger
You can call me whenever, from wherever just remember that
I'll be there through all the stormy weather
Us break up never, no, we'll be together forever

Things you can do in Ramadan

Things you can do in Ramadan

---

The Prophet said: "Whoever prays during the night of Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven." (Bukhari and Muslim recorded from Abu Huraira).

Here are some tips of things we can do on the Night of Power and the time before and after it.

1. Take a vacation for Allah
We take a break from our jobs for almost everything in life. Why not this time to focus on worshiping and thanking our Creator.

If this is not possible at least take a few days off if you can. This can make it easier to stay awake at night to do extra Ibadah, not having to worry about getting to work the next day.

It will also facilitate doing Itikaf.

2. Do Itikaf
It was a practice of the Prophet to spend the last ten days and nights of Ramadan in the masjid for Itikaf.

Those in Itikaf stay in the masjid all this time, performing various forms of zikr (the remembrance of Allah), like doing extra Salat, recitation and study of the Quran. They do not go outside the masjid except in case of emergencies, therefore, they sleep in the masjid. Their families or the masjid administration takes care of their food needs.

Itikaf of a shorter period of time, like one night, a day or a couple of days is encouraged as well.

3. Make this special Dua
Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: I asked the Messenger of Allah: 'O Messenger of Allah, if I know what night is the night of Qadr, what should I say during it?' He said: 'Say: O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.' "(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi).

The transliteration of this Dua is "Allahumma innaka `afuwwun tuhibbul `afwa fa`fu `annee"

4. Recite the Quran
Perhaps you can choose Surahs or passages from the Quran which you have heard in Tarawih this past Ramadan to recite.

If you attend a class where the recitation of the Quran is taught, this is a great time to put your knowledge into practice.

5. Reflect on the meaning of the Quran
Choose the latest Surah or Surahs you've heard in Tarawih and read their translation and Tafseer. Then think deeply about their meaning and how it affects you on a personal level.

(If you want to study the Quran with more understanding, check out Way to the Quran and Access to Quranic Arabic.

6. Get your sins wiped out
Abu Huraira narrated that the Messenger said: Whoever stands (in prayer) in Laylatul Qadr while nourishing his faith with self-evaluation, expecting reward from Allah, will have all of his previous sins forgiven. [Bukhari and Muslim).

Don't just pray using the shorter Surahs that you know. Try to make your prayers longer, deeper and meaningful. If you are familiar with longer Surahs, read the translation and explanation and then pray reciting these Surahs, carefully reflecting on the meaning while you pray.

Even if you are only familiar with the shorter Surahs, read the translation and explanation beforehand, and then pray reflecting on the message of the Surahs.

This is a good way to develop the habit of concentration, even in regular prayers, where many of us tend to be fidgety and/or easily distracted.

7. Make a personal Dua list.
Ask yourself what you really want from Allah. Make a list of each and everything, no matter how small or how big it is, whether it deals with this world or not. Allah loves to hear from us. Once this list is ready, you can do three things:

• Ask Allah to give you those things
• Think about what actions you have taken to get those things
• Develop a work plan to get those things in future.

8. Evaluate yourself.
Ask yourself those questions that need to be asked. Do an evaluation of where you are and where you are going. Let this evaluation lead you to feel happiness for the good you have done and remorse for the bad you have done. (see a short and a long evaluation guide) This latter feeling should make it easier to seek Allah's sincere forgiveness when making the Dua mentioned in tip number one above.

9. Make long, sincere and deep Duas
One of the best times to do this is during the last part of the night.

Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Prophet said: When the last one-third of the night remains, our Lord, the Glorious One descends towards the heaven of the earth and proclaims: Who is that who supplicates for Me, and I grant his supplication? Who is that who begs Me for anything and I grant it to him? And who is that who seeks My forgiveness, and I forgive him? (Bukhari, Muslim).

That means for instance, waking up one hour before Suhoor time to ask Allah for anything and everything you want that is Halal. This can be done using the Duas of the Sunnah, but also Dua in your own language, with sincerity and conviction.

For some tips on making Dua please see the article Some personal Duas you can make.

10. Memorize a different Dua every night
They don't have to be long. They can be just one line. And be sure to know what they mean generally at least, even if you don't know the exact translation in English.



You can put them on index cards (or and keep them with you during the day, glancing at them during work, while driving, waiting in line, etc.) Then practice them at night in prayer.

11. Have Iftar with the family
If you've spent Iftar time on weekdays in your cubicle at work alone with a couple of dates, now is the last few days you'll have this Ramadan to spend with your family. Use it wisely.

12. Take the family to Tarawih
Have your spouse and kids missed Tarawih most of Ramadan because you weren't there to drive them to the Masjid, which is too far away to walk to? If so, do all of yourselves a favor and bring everyone for Tarawih in these last ten nights.



13. Attend the Dua after the completion of Quran recitation
Almost all Masjids where the Imam aims to finish an entire reading of the Quran in Tarawih prayers in Ramadan will be completing their recitation in these last ten nights. They may try to end on one of the odd nights and read the Dua at the end of a reading of the Quran. Attend this particular night's Tarawih prayer with your family. See if you can attend different Masjids' Tarawih prayers the night they finish reading the Quran.

14. Finish reading a book on the Prophet
Read about the Prophet's life, which can increase your love for him and Islam by seeing how much he struggled for Allah's sake. It may inspire you to push yourself even harder during these last ten nights. This community is built on sacrifice.

15. Plan for the next year
Once you've done a self-evaluation, you can plan on where you want to go, at least in the next 12 months. Laylatul Qadr is a great night to be thinking about this (without taking away from your worship), since you'll Insha Allah, be in a more contemplative state. You may choose to dedicate one night of power for evaluation and one night for planning for the next year.

16. To do list for the Night of Power
Make a to do checklist for each Night of Power. This should define how you would like your night, the one better than a thousand months, to be used. Pick things from this list and define the sequence you would like to do things in. This will help you avoid wasting your time in unproductive chats which common in the festive atmosphere of Masjids at the Night of Power.

Daffodils

Here it is one of the poems that I love

Daffodils

I wandered lonly as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Besides the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze;

Continuous as the stars that shine,
And twinkle on the milky way
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay;
Then thousands saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
In such a jocund company!
I gazed_and gazed_ but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in a pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordsworth

Types of Verbs

 

Types of Verbs

Before you begin the verb tense lessons, it is extremely important to understand that NOT all English verbs are the same. English verbs are divided into three groups: Normal Verbs, Non-Continuous Verbs, and Mixed Verbs.
