Thank you

My dear friends in BIE & EDE classes.

I would like to thank you for your great writings and excellent cooperation with me in the class.
I really enjoyed your hard work and I wish I could put all your writings here; but because I do not have such possibility , here I present a few of them as sample of your excellent work.

How to Use "Who" and "Whom" Correctly

1.Know the difference between who and whom. 
They are both pronouns but who is used as the subject of a sentence or phrase and whom is used as the object of a verb. What follows is a quick way to determine which pronoun to use in a particular question.

2.Use whom when referring to the object of a verb.
◦To whom it may concern:
◦To whom did you talk today?
◦Whom does Sarah love?

3.Use who when referring to the subject of a sentence or phrase.
◦Who brought the paper inside?
◦Who talked to you today?
◦Who went to dinner?

4.Ask yourself if the answer to the question would be he or him. 
If you can answer the question with him, then use whom. It's easy to remember because they both end with "m". If you can answer the question with he, then use who.
◦Example: A suitable answer to the question, "To [who or whom] did the prize go?" is, "It went to him." (Almost no one would say "It went to he.") The correct pronoun for the question is whom.
◦Example: A suitable answer to the question, "[Who or Whom] went to the store?" is, "He went to the store." (Almost no one would say "Him went to the store.") The correct pronoun for the question who.

Avval-e MEHR

Like all those good times in the past, AVVAL-E MEHR is coming again... the same good old excitement, mixed with students' dislike to go to school, and the very lovely smell of fresh school bags and new shoes and clean rubbers and unsharpened pencils. AVVAL-E MEHR is not simply a "day". It is the start (Avval) of love (Mehr) that exists among classmates and also all the laughters and fun. I am sure many, like me, miss those AVVAL-E MEHR's, where we used to wear the best clothes we had and prepare ourselves for the best way to talk about the long summer we had passed. I still remember the smell of the desks we sat during school, with the stories and the bad words we had written on them about love and teachers. I miss those days, and I miss all my classmates with their nicknames...AVVAL-E MEHR is not simply a day!

Around the corner I have a friend

Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on
And before I know it a year is gone
And I never see my old friends face
For life is a swift and terrible race
He knew I like him just as in the days when I rang his bell
And he rang mine but we were younger then
And now are busy ,tired men
Tired of playing a foolish game
Tired of trying to make a name
Tomorrow I say," I will call on Jim just to show that I'm thinking of him".
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes
And distance between us grows and grows
Around the corner yet miles away
Here's a telegram "Sir Jim died today "
And that's what we get and deserve in the end
Around the corner a vanished friend
Remember to always say what you mean, If you love someone tell him

Don't be afraid to express yourself
Because when you think it is the right time it might be too late
Seize the day never have regrets
And most importantly stay close to your friends
And family for they have helped to make you the person you are today.

THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

We only have one world. And we only live once. But our lives are in danger of wars and bombs and people who kill others for no reason but lies. The world has had sad moments of wars and millions of people who died in these wars. Now we, humans, have learned that either we learn to live like humans, or we have to die like wild animals.


Since 1360 (1981), Shahrivar 30 (September 21) has been named as THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE. All humans on this day pray and hope for peace, and a world where NO ONE gets killed in any war between nations or inside nations (civil wars). What can we really do to have a peaceful world? What can we do for the children? What can we do for the people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur, Palestine, etc? Will there be a day when the news does not show pictures of wounded and killed people who lose their lives over nothing? Will there be a day when people learn to live like PEOPLE? What can we do? What do YOU think we can do?
