درس هشتاد و پنج - اولین روز مدرسه من

درس هشتاد و پنج - اولین روز مدرسه من

​

​

My First Day of School​

​

​

​

I remember my first day of school.
I was excited, but I was afraid.
I held my mother's hand as we walked to the school.
When we got near the school, I wouldn't let her hold my hand anymore.
I didn't want to look like a baby.
We got to the school.
The school looked very big and frightening.
There were children outside on the playground.
They all looked very big.
I looked at them, and some of them looked at me.
I felt very small.
My mother and I went into the school and found the kindergarten room.
There were children in there.
Most of them were the same size as me.
My mother spoke to the kindergarten teacher.
The teacher was very nice.
She said my name, and she introduced me to some of the other children.
I already knew some of the children because they lived near me.
I began to play with some of the things that were in the classroom.
There were toy trucks, colouring books, and even a doll house.
I soon forgot to be scared, and I began to play with the other children.
I didn't even notice that my mother had left the room.
In school we sang songs, played some games and listened as the teacher read us a story.
I had a lot of fun on my first day of school.
I even drew a picture of my teacher.
I took the picture home, and my mother put it on the refrigerator.
I like school.
It is a good place to meet new friends and learn all about the world.

درس هشتاد و شش - حمل و نقل (۲)

درس هشتاد و شش - حمل و نقل (۲)

Transportation (2)​

​

​

​

​

People move from place to place.
There are lots of ways that you can move around from one place to another.
Sometimes you can just move your feet and walk.
Walking is good for you.
Some places are too far to walk to.
You might have to ride a bicycle or ride on a skateboard.
Some places are too far away to ride your bicycle to.
You might have to drive in a car, or a van, or even a truck.
My father has a car.
My uncle has a van.
I have never been in a big truck.
Trucks are usually used to carry big loads from one city to another.
I would like to be a truck driver.
I would travel all over and sit high up in the cab.
I have been in a taxi cab.
Once, my mother and I took a taxi to the hospital.
There was a special meter in the taxi.
When we finished our taxi ride, the driver looked at the meter to find out how much
money we owed him.
I once rode a horse.
I sat in the saddle and held on tight to the reins.
The horse ran very fast.
It was a bumpy ride, and I was afraid that I would fall off the horse.
Not too many people around here use horses for transportation.
They used to use horses for transportation in the old days.
If you want to travel very far away, you have to go on a train, a plane, or a boat.
If you are in a hurry, it is best to take a plane.
Planes fly through the air very fast.
Trains go along the tracks.
Sometimes I can hear the train whistle from my house.
Boats take a long time to cross the ocean.
Great big boats that cross the oceans are called ships.
If you like to take it easy and look out at the water, then ships are a good way to travel.
They say that the world is a lot smaller now because of transportation.
People can travel to all parts of the world quickly and easily.
The world is not really smaller, but it has become easy to get to faraway places.

We have trouble deciding which cartoons we will watch.

My dad gets all his news from the newspaper.

pop.
I sit there and change the channels with the remote control.
I change channels and watch a few different shows at once.
My mother won't let me watch too much television.
She doesn't want me to get lazy.
Television is good if you don't spend too much time watching it.
You can learn a lot from television if you watch the educational channels.

درس هشتاد و هشت - کشور من

My Country
​

​

My Country​

​

​

I live in Canada.
It is a very large country that is made up of ten provinces and three territories.
Most of the provinces and territories are quite unique.
For example, in Saskatchewan the land is flat, and it is not surrounded by water.
They grow wheat in Saskatchewan.
British Columbia has mountains.
I have never been to British Columbia, but I hear that it is very beautiful.
Nova Scotia is on the Atlantic Ocean, so there are many fishermen out there.
The people in the provinces are even different from each other.
In Quebec, many of the people speak French.
In the Maritime Provinces, the people like to play their own kind of music.
They play fiddles and accordions, and many of them dance very well.
Nunavut is in the north, so life is quite different there.
The people who live in the new territory of Nunavut are very close to wildlife.
They do a lot of hunting and fishing.
It can get very cold up in the Arctic where Nunavut is.
I live in Ontario.
Even within Ontario life can be quite different.
The capital of Ontario is Toronto.
Toronto is a very busy city with lots of apartments, offices and shops.
Toronto is an exciting place, and it has a lot to offer.
There are theatres and restaurants to suit every taste.
The culture in Toronto is very diverse.
If you drive a few miles north of Toronto, you will find places that are tranquil and
peaceful.
Many people leave Toronto on the weekends and drive to their cottages where they find
rest and relaxation.
Canada is made up of many different cultures.
People of many different ethnic backgrounds live in harmony in Canada.
That is why I like Canada.
In Canada we celebrate our differences.

درس نود - باغ وحش

درس نود - باغ وحش

The Zoo
​

​

​

​

​

​

My class took a trip to the Toronto Zoo.
I had a wonderful time there.
My favorite animals were the lions.
They look very powerful and strong.
They say that the lion is the king of the forest, and I think that title suits him.
The monkeys were funny.
They were looking at us just as much as we looked at them.
They were swinging from branches and doing tricks to impress us.
There was a baby monkey that was clinging to its mother's back. It was very cute.
The tigers were pacing back and forth.
They seemed restless.
The stripes on a tiger are very beautiful.
We watched the tall giraffes as they nibbled leaves off the tallest trees.
We spoke to a colourful parrot that spoke back to us.
We saw exotic animals that we had never seen before.
Some of them were very strange.
There were different types of bears there.
There were black bears.
I saw a black bear once when I was camping up north.
We saw polar bears.
Polar bears are white.
They like the cold.
We even saw panda bears.
One of my friends bought a toy panda bear from the gift shop because she thought that
the pandas were so cute.
We saw slithery snakes.
Some of the snakes had very bright skins.
Most of the girls were afraid of the snakes.
The zoo keeper was looking after the snakes, and one of them hissed at him.
He has to be very careful when he works with the snakes.
The last thing that we saw at the zoo was the elephant.
He was enormous.
He looked at us; then he raised his trunk and made a loud sound.
It made us jump.

درس نود و یک - موزه

درس نود و یک - موزه

The Museum​

​

The museum was very interesting.
There were so many things in the museum that I would need more time to really see
everything.
There were clothes from the past.
I don't know how people wore some of those things.
They look like they would be uncomfortable.
I like to wear my jeans.
There were things from wars.
There were bullets, and cannons and even uniforms from the soldiers.
I don't think that war is a good thing, but it is good to remember the past and honour the
people who died for your country.
There was an old fire truck at the museum.
This fire truck was pulled by a horse.
There were some very old photographs of the firemen putting out fires.
There were rooms in the museum that were set up like an old house.
There were antique irons and sewing machines.
The women used to clean the clothes with a washboard.
There were no modern appliances back then.
I'm glad that we have electricity and modern appliances.
The things that we have make life so much easier.
There were mummies from Egypt at the museum.
I was fascinated by those.
There were artifacts from the Indians.
There were arrowheads and cradles that the babies slept in.
I tried my best to see everything, but it was almost impossible.
The museum is a good place to learn about your past.
I tried to imagine my grandparents using some of the things that were on display at the
museum.

درس نود و دو - پلیس

درس نود و دو - پلیس

The Police​

​

My mother always told me that if I was lost I could go up to a policeman and that he
would help me to find my way home.
I never did get lost, but I always remembered what my mother told me about the police.
I think policemen look very nice in their uniforms.
I see police officers drive by in their police cars.
In my town we even have police officers on bicycles.
Policemen and policewomen have a job that can sometimes be dangerous.
They have to catch people who break the law.
Sometimes, they have to chase people or try to calm people down.
To be a police officer you need a lot of training.
It is important to be able to deal with people effectively.
A police officer came to our school.
He had a police dog with him.
The officer showed us how the dog could track down criminals.
The dog was very smart.
He could even find things that were hidden.
Criminals sometimes hide things that they don't want the police to find.
The policeman told us that he and his dog were partners.
His dog lives at his house with the policeman and his family.
Sometimes I see police cars on the side of the road.
The police stop people who are speeding or are not wearing their seatbelts.
The police officers warn people or give out tickets.
Sometimes they even have to arrest people.
Police officers are just doing their job when they arrest people.
Some people need to be arrested and put in jail to make it safer for the rest of us.

درس نود و سه - وانمود کردن

درس نود و سه - وانمود کردن

Pretending​

​

I like to pretend.
I like to make up things that aren't real.
I use my imagination.
I was pretending that I was in a time machine.
I set the date for a prehistoric time.
I turned on the time machine, and it buzzed and whirred and spun madly.
When it stopped spinning, I opened the door and stepped out into a very thick jungle.
I listened carefully to the sounds of the jungle.
I could hear strange animal noises, and the leaves were rustling.
I wasn't sure if I had gone back in time or had just landed in a jungle somewhere in the
twenty first century.
It didn't take me long to realize that I had indeed gone back in time.
A very strange bird-like creature with a large beak flew overhead.
I had never seen anything like it in my life.
I took a few steps out into the long grass and ferns.
I didn't want to go too far away from my time machine.
I heard a noise over on my right side.
There was a man who looked quite different from me.
He was dressed in an animal skin, and he carried a big stick.
I didn't want him to see me, so I hid behind a tree.
He didn't speak any language that I could understand.
He grunted at someone who must have been in the distance.
Then, I felt the earth shake beneath my feet.
I heard giant thumps on the ground as the floor of the jungle shook.
The man in the animal skin began to run.
I saw why he was running.
A giant dinosaur appeared above the tops of the trees.
It was bigger than anything I had ever seen.
My heart began to pound in my chest.
It was coming toward me.
I ran toward my time machine and jumped in.
I set the dial for the twenty-first century.
The machine whirred and buzzed.
My time machine landed in the twenty-first century.
I got away just in time.

درس نود و چهار - نوزاد

A Baby​

​

My aunt just had a baby girl.
We went to the hospital to visit my aunt and to see the new baby.
My aunt was feeling fine, although she was just a bit tired.
She walked with us to a big window that had lots of babies behind it.
She pointed to a crib with a baby in it.
The baby was wrapped in a pink blanket.
We all said how pretty the baby looked.
I couldn't believe how tiny the baby was.
She was asleep, so we couldn't see her eyes.
When the baby went home, we went to visit her.
We heard the baby.
She was crying.
My aunt said that the baby was hungry.
My aunt had a baby bottle full of warm milk.
She fed the baby with it.
The baby was happy after that.
My aunt patted the baby on the back until the baby burped, and then the baby fell asleep.
I held the baby.
I looked at her tiny fingers and tiny toes.
I was very careful with her.
She opened her eyes and looked at me.
I spoke to the baby, but I knew that she could not understand me.
Babies have to learn to walk and talk.
My aunt changed the baby.
Babies wear diapers, so they need to be changed often.
The baby has a lot of toys, but she is still too young to play with them.
My aunt says that it won't be long before the baby is crawling and trying to talk.
Babies are cute.
I have seen pictures of myself when I was a baby, and it's hard to believe that I was once
that small.

My mother has a job too,
and she also works very hard.

He works at the school all day, and often has to go to meetings at night.
He deals with parents, students and staff.
There is always something that he has to deal with.

If I go to him with a problem, he will sit down and discuss it with me.

He is always very logical, and he tries to think of the best way to deal with things.

He takes time out to do things with us.

me.
I think it is important to have good parents.
I hope that when I have children I will be a good parent like my parents are to me.

A Surprise​

​

Last Friday my dad came home from work and said that he had a surprise for us.
We tried to guess what the surprise might be.
My brother guessed that we were going out for dinner.
My dad said "no."
My other brother asked if my father had tickets to a hockey game.
My dad said "no."
My sister asked if we were going on a trip.
My dad said "no."
My mother knew what the surprise was, so she just stood and smiled at us.
I guessed that we might be getting a swimming pool.
My dad said "no."
We were getting very frustrated trying to guess what the surprise might be.
My brother asked how big the surprise was.
My dad said that the surprise was quite small.
We were not sure what the surprise could be.
"Will we all like it?" I asked.
"Yes" my dad replied.
Every one of you will love this surprise.
We heard a noise.
It was a crying noise.
"Your surprise wants to see you," my dad said.
He opened the door to the bedroom, and a tiny puppy came running out.
We were all very excited.
Our surprise was a puppy.
It was a little baby spaniel.
The puppy loved all of us.
She ran around and licked all of our faces.
We had always wanted a dog.
We take turns feeding the puppy and taking her out for walks.
She is growing quickly and will soon be an adult dog.
We all agree that the puppy was the nicest surprise that my dad could have given us.

درس نود و نه - وا‍ژه های هم قافیه

Rhyming Words​

​

Sometimes my friends and I play a game.
It's something we made up, so it doesn't have a name.
We like to take words that rhyme.
We put them together line by line.
Do you get the picture now?
We're playing the game, and this is how.
I might say I like to drive a car.
I really don't like to go very far.
If I decide to take a walk,
I'd go with a friend so that we could talk.
Do you see that these lines rhyme?
Play the game if you have the time.
We could talk about school or even playing.
Do you know what I am saying?
Rhyming words is easy to do.
It's fun for me; it can be fun for you.
Just join in and say something
Or make it into a song that you can sing.
There are so many words that rhyme with others.
Like "smile" and "mile" and "mothers" and "brothers."
I could spend all day just making up these things.
I could let my imagination fly on wings
Up to the clouds and back to my mind.
There are so many rhymes that I can find.
There are some words that are hard to find rhymes for.
I don't use those words anymore.
I like to choose words that are easy to rhyme.
Like "cat" and "bat" or "lime" and "time."
So give it a try, I know you'll have fun.
I'll say "goodbye," my rhyming is done.

درس صد - مشق شب

درس صد - مشق شب

Homework​

​

Sometimes, my teacher gives us homework.
I don't mind doing my homework except when the weather is really nice, and all my
friends are outside.
On those nights, I'd rather be outside with them, so I try to get my homework done
quickly.
Tonight, I have some English homework.
We have been reading a book.
We have to read a chapter of the book and answer the questions at the end of the chapter.
It is an interesting book, so the homework for this is quite easy.
My math homework is not so easy.
I have to do some addition and subtraction.
I don't mind that, but there are some problems that need to be solved.
The problems involve addition, subtraction and multiplication.
I am not too good with numbers.
I need to work harder on my math.
I just finished a project for history.
I had to make a map of Canada with diagrams showing the routes of all the explorers.
It was an interesting project because I have been to some of the places that the explorers
went to.
I don't have any science homework.
At school, we are growing bean plants.
We go in every day and see how the plants have grown.
We write down all the changes that occur in the plant every day.
The only other homework that I have is geography.
I have a map of Canada, and I have to write the names of all the provinces and their
capitals on it.
It won't take me long to do that because I know all the provinces.
When my homework is all done, I will go outside and play ball with my friends until it is
time to come in.
I am a good student.
I get good marks because I like school.
My favorite subjects are physical education, English and history.
Math is my least favorite subject, but I'm trying to improve my marks in that.

The Smart Paperboy​

In my town there is a paperboy who just got an award for his actions.
This boy delivered the local newspaper every morning.
One of the people to whom he delivered the paper was an elderly man.
This man lived alone.
The paperboy had often spoken to the man, so he knew that the man lived alone.
The paperboy always left the newspaper in the man's mailbox.
One morning the boy noticed that the man had not picked up his newspaper or his mail
from the day before.
The boy felt that something was not right.
All day at school the boy had a feeling that something might be wrong with the man.
After school, the boy went back to the man's house to see if he had taken his mail and
newspapers.
The newspapers and mail were still in the mailbox.
The boy knocked on the man's door.
He could hear a faint voice, but could not hear what the person was saying.
He tried to open the door, but it was locked.
The boy knew that something wasn't right, so he went home and called the police station.
He explained to the police that the man lived alone.
He gave the address of the man's house to the police.
The police knocked on the door, and they also heard the faint voice.
The police got into the house and found the man lying at the bottom of the stairs.
The man had fallen and broken his hip.
The man had not been able to get up.
He had been afraid that nobody would find him.
He was very grateful to the paperboy for caring enough to get the police.
The boy got an award.
The man said that the boy was a hero.
The police said that the boy was an example of a very good citizen.
The paperboy and the man are very good friends.
The man will never forget what the paperboy did for him.

درس صد و هفت - دوست شدن

درس صد و هفت - دوست شدن

Making Friends​

​

I used to be very shy.
I would not go up to someone that I did not know and say hello.
I was afraid that people would not want to talk to me.
I have changed.
I have become less shy.
I have learned that making friends is easy to do.
All you have to do is say hello.
Most people will respond to a smile and a friendly hello.
People will begin to talk to you about little things in their lives.
You will soon realize that you have something in common with that person.
Whenever I start talking to a new person I find that there is some interest that we share.
Maybe we know some of the same people, or we went to the same school.
Often we find that we like the same music or the same movies.
It is easy to have a conversation with someone once you find a topic that you both can
relate to.
The most important part to making friends is to listen to what the other person says.
If you take an interest in them, they are sure to take an interest in you.
I have learned many things from meeting people.
I have had many fascinating conversations, and I have made a lot of good friends.
One day a girl came up to me and said that she was lost.
She couldn't find her way to her English class.
I said that I was going to that class too.
I told her to come with me.
We began talking, and we became very good friends.
That was a few years ago.
She is still one of my best friends.
Just think, if she hadn't been lost we might never have become friends.

درس 108 - پیر شدن

درس 108 - پیر شدن

Getting Old
​

​

My grandfather is getting old.
​

When I was younger, my grandfather would carry me on his shoulders, and we would go for a walk.​

Now, my grandfather cannot put me on his shoulders.​

He has a hard time walking, and he uses a cane.​

My grandfather used to have lots of hair. Now he is bald. His skin doesn't look like it used to. It is more wrinkled. My grandfather takes more naps than he used to.​

He goes to the doctor's, and he takes pills for his heart.​

I love my grandfather very much.​

I don't like the fact that he is getting older, but my mother says that growing older is just a fact of life. She says that we will all get older.​

Sometimes my grandfather forgets things.​

My mother says to be patient. I am patient.​

I try to help my grandfather as much as I can. I sometimes go for walks with him. I help him to walk when he has trouble.​

I cheer him up if I think he might be sad. I get things for him, and I even read to him at night. He used to read to me when I was little.​

Now his eyesight is bad, and he can't see very well. My grandfather tells me stories about when he was a boy. The world was a very different place then he tells me.​

His stories are interesting. Sometimes I wish we could trade places for a day so that I would know what it felt like to be old. My grandfather doesn't complain.​

He jokes about his old bones. I spend a lot of time with my grandfather. I hope that he is around for a long time.

درس 109 - زمان

درس 109 - زمان

Time
​

​

Time is something that you should never waste
​

. Once an hour is gone, it is gone forever.​

You should make the most of every minute. Time is a funny thing. Some days go by so slowly.​

Those are the days that you do things that aren't fun.
​

When you are having fun, time just flies by.​

Time is made up of different units. Seconds turn into minutes. Minutes turn into hours. Hours turn into days.​

Days turn into weeks. Weeks turn into months, and months turn into years. We measure our lives by time. We are very concerned with time. Even little children are very conscious of time.​

Little children often want to appear older, so if you ask a three-year-old how old he is, he will often say three and a half.​

Many of our sayings are based on time. "Give me a minute." "Hold on a second." "I'm running out of time." "Time's up." "I just want an hour of your time." All of these are common things that we say, and they're all based on time. We are a society that lives by the clock.​

We almost all wear watches, and we glance at our watches a lot.​

Time is something that we can't see, but it is a big factor in our lives. How many times a day do you look at a watch or a clock? I bet you'd be surprised at just how many times you do.

درس 110 - امی

درس 110 - امی

Amy
​

​

Amy was a girl who came into our classroom.​

She had many things wrong with her.​

Amy was in a wheelchair, and she couldn't talk. She couldn't make her hands and feet do what she wanted them to do.​

We wondered why Amy would even be in our class, because she really couldn't do much of anything.
​

Amy had a teaching assistant who had to stay with her all the time.​

One day the teaching assistant got called away. I had to look after Amy.​

I was afraid to look after her. I really didn't know what to do. I sat beside Amy, and I smiled at her. She smiled back at me.​

I never realized before that she had such a nice smile. Amy made a noise. It seemed like she wanted a crayon that was lying beside her.​

I put the crayon into her hand. She had trouble holding it, but eventually she got the crayon into her hand well enough so that she could make marks on the paper that was on the tray in front of her.​

Amy spent a long time making marks on the paper.​

She tried so hard to create whatever it was that she was drawing. She worked for a long time.​

I just watched her, and I gave her a lot of credit for not giving up when she obviously had so many problems.​

When she was finally done, she picked up the paper with great difficulty. With a look of pride on her face, she handed me the picture. It was for me.​

I was very touched that she spent all that time drawing something for me. I thanked Amy and smiled at her. I told her I loved the picture.​

I still have that picture, although I'm not sure what it is a picture of. I learned a lot from Amy that day.​

I saw a brave girl who wouldn't give up. Whenever I think my problems are too big to handle, I think of Amy and I remember her smile.

درس 111 - خاطرات

درس 111 - خاطرات

Memories​

​

Somebody once asked me what the most valuable things that I owned were.
​

I thought about that for a long time. Then I realized that most of the things that I had could be replaced.​

What I would not be able to replace were the photographs that I had of my friends and family. Photographs are memories that are captured on film. Some of the photographs are of people who are no longer with us.​

I would hate to lose them. Memories are precious. They are all we have sometimes to link us to days gone by. I remember the good times. I try to relive them in my mind sometimes. I remember the sad times.​

Some of the sad memories are painful, but they are all a part of my life, and I don't want to lose any of my memories. People come into our lives and people leave our lives, but most people leave a memory for us.​

I have lots of memories, and when I look at my photographs, the memories come flooding back into my brain. I remember what people were like when they were younger.​

I remember vacations that I took. I remember days that seemed ordinary at the time, but you never get to relive even the ordinary days.​

Memories are so precious. Cherish your memories, and keep them in a place close to your heart.
