Hi Mohsen,

How are you doing? In French people often say "comment ca va?". I hope you are doing well.
Mohsen, you are very good at setting account information. I have got a question, and need your help: how can I change my username? I tried, but I could not change it. I know how to change other things like signature, profile etc.but for resetting username, I could do nothing! As you know, my username is "behnam", I prefer to write it as "Behnam" or something else, such as "Professor Behnam"!

I am waiting for your help. Take a photo of the place where I must go and change my username. Apply "Visual teaching method" please!

All the best,

Hi Behnam,

Long time ,no see
Welcome back to your house, so happy to see you again .
A wrong thought came to my mind that you have died by Corona covid 19 . As you hid from the page of times since 2 years ago.

Hurrieh , one of our old friend asked me about you , and I told her Behnam is not Alive

Anyway , on the God providence ,you are still alive and I thank God . I hope you coped with all problems and came back to forum with good health.

About changing your user name , I can say it is not possible. the only way is to register again with a new user name , so you will have two user name.
And the advantage is that you can write a massage with one user name and answer it with other user name when there is no one in forum.

Hi my dear wise friend Mohsen the great,

In order to see your reply to my previous post I checked this place for more than 1000 times! How are you? I hope you are doing well. Thank you very much for your reply. I am still alive. How about Hurrieh herself? Have you got news from her?

I am not going to take your advice, but THANK YOU! This is an Isfahani way of solving the problem. I prefer to have only one username!

Thank you very much for caring about me and keeping me alive in your mind an heart. You are very kind.

All the best

Hi Behnam
How is it going dear friend,
Sorry for being late to reply, That is my busy life as an office worker, children , life affairs and also I am member of many groups here and there

Hurrieh is studying at university , as a PHD student , I contact her through whatsapp group. but she is not active as much as before.
You know that there is no locked door in front of Isfahani people but if God doesn't lock the door.

You didn't tell me about the two years absent !!?
How are the twins , how old they are? are you still a commuter to Tabriz?

Have a great Thursday

Dear Mohsen,

How are you doing? I hope you are doing well. Thank you very much for being here for a long time. Thank you once again for your long friendship. That's a great honour for me to be your friend.

Hurrieh is studying PhD? Great! Is it possible to have her account address in WhatsApp?

I agree that Isfahani people can open all locks.

About two years absence, I could not have access to such places. I cannot say more!

Twins are doing well. They are nine years old. They could be better boys, but unfortunately Crona 19 virus caused them to be far from schools and books, and close to parents instead. That's a big problem!

How many children have you got? How are they doing? How old are they?

We finished the project in Tabriz recently. We are going to have another one. It is not finalized yet. I hope the authorities will choose me as the technical consultant again.

All the best,

Hi dear Behnam and Mohsen

I just wanted to inform you that I'm also reading your stories, I was looking for some suitable time to write here but it seems this procrastination will lead me to nowhere, thus I decided to contribute by announcing my presence as well and in sha Allah I'll try to participate in this wonderful forum with amazing people like you, I'm glad from bottom of my heart that you guys started writing again, I remember a few weeks ago I emailed you to your yahoo mail but it seems that email is not active anymore When I saw a notification from this thread it made my day from the day you started writing again I was reading enthusiastically. I wish you all the best with your life and your learning journey.
Kindly remember me in your prayers

Have a wonderful Friday

Hi Arsalan,

You do not imagune how amazed I became when I saw your post! Thank you man! How are you doing? Oh, that is unbelievable, Arsalan is here! We have chatted and spoken with each other through Skype many years ago. Do you remember? You were a great lover of learning the English language and your English was excellent. You were planning to marry to a girl in your nighbourhood, what happend? You were working on ship I guess and, as far as I can remember, you were studying about sea related major.

Welcome man! You made me very happy. THANKS!

Let me end this post right here, as for I am amazed and shocked. I cannot write more now. There is a saying in the persian language "two mountains do not reach each other, but people do"! Internet has made that saying come true much easier and sooner than our imagination! Actually, this is one of the advantages of the Net.

All the best,

Dear Arsalan,

In such situations french people often say:
Arsalan! Quelle surprise! Ca fait longtemps qu'on ne c'est pas vus. Je suis hyper heureux de te voir.

What a surprise! It's been a long time since we last saw each other. I am very happy to see you.

Hi dear Behnan

I'm glad to know that you still remember me and shocked by your amazing memory with the details you had about me in your mind, may Allah save this ability for you till the end of your journey to this planet earth, Whatever you have mentioned was true, I got married and living a happy life with her we have two children and left that shipping company during this years I was a representative of an Indian company in Chabahar for three years but sadly they left due to reimposing of sanctions since that time till now which is two years I'm enjoying my life with teaching English and currently I"m running an English institution under the supervision of the International University of Chabahar, I don't know how to express my joy about chatting with you again after about 5 years of period.

Hi dear Behnam
Glad to see that you are active as before , I payed a visit to a person who has come back fro Karbala recently , revive the memories I had from my last visit about two years ago ,before Corona virus outbreak.

Hurieh chose a name in whatsapp ,Ms Secretive , as she is very reserved and cautious and she likes to be secretive.
Recently she put away whatsapp to study as much as possible.
If you like , you can join us in whatsapp group ,and enjoy online chatting. also you are a good speaker and I am good listener. it helps you improve your speaking and I improve my listening

Dear Behnam my childern are older that you , I am an old man , and after I was infected by serious corona , I feel I am 10 year older as I lost 50% of my power .

Actually I didn't see many cities of Iran , I can say visiting Chabahar is one of my dreams which should comes trues very soon
My last visit to south of Iran was about many years ago ,when I was sent to Bandar Abbas with a group of students to visit Rajaei wharf. there I saw a cargo ship for the first time and I thought that it was a 20 floor building

Dear Arsalan!

It was very nice reading your reply. You are married and you have got two children! That's great!
Yes, we have chatted and also discussed different social and general topics privately and in Dreams 'N Motion! I hope you remember that place.
That site was a golden opportunity for people to improve their language skills. There were some french speakers from different countries. At that time I couldn't take the opportunity of keeping contacts with them. I wish I could have another chance to meet them. Have you got any addresses, links, contacts, etc. related to french learning communities?
Whatever can help me with learning French is requested!

Please write more about Chahbahar. I am interested in that area of Iran. You know, your city and my motherland are exactly on the opposite sides and corners of Iran. Right now the mountains are covered by snow in Azerbaijan province, but I am sure, the weather is not cold in Chahbehar.

Take a photo of sea and share with us. I have heard that the beach is beautiful and clean in the south. I haven't seen it.


This is a photo of my village and its mountains on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan. You can see the difference of blue sky in this picture with other blue skys in Iran. In Tehran for example, the sky is grey almost always!

Hello Dear friends
I believe that life is like a box of chocolate you never know what is the next, actually, it is a quote from Forrest Gump's movie, I saw myself planning all the time to control and overcome the future of my life but most of the times I find myself in the middle of nowhere doing totally a different thing than what I was expected, fortunately, I realized circle of life is like this if you understand how does it work then you can take is easy and find your way, I found that instead of trying to control life we should give it a direction toward our ambitions we can not control a flowing river, however, we can direct it and we can take benefit of it.

Anyway I just wanted to warm up my writing with the previous paragraph, I want to tell you guys that I miss you guys a lot, If you have any WhatsApp groups kindly add me there, by the way, I made my own discussion forum (discuss.ieltsarsalan.com) It's empty now but I hope you guys will find it useful to write there as well sometime, I made this forum for my student to practice their writing over there It would be my honor to have you there. writing is a really useful practice organizing our thoughts and saving them.

If you want to have a happy life
Tie your life to an ideal goal !

If instead of "goals", people and objects are replaced
The "joy of soul and spirit" replace with the anxiety of heart and soul
And what could be better than "always being with God."and purity and piety.

Happy Ramadan to Muslim friends.

Spending Time with Family

Spending time together as a family creates a sense of belonging. Children are less likely to go look for that feeling somewhere else if they can find it at home. We should make an effort in finding ways to spend time together as a family and create fun memories. Turning off cell phones, TV, computers, and other distractions and instead share ideas and values and learn about what is happening in each other lives. Play games, do sports or go on holiday together. If we manage to spend time together as a family, we will make it easier for our children to share their thoughts and worries when going through tougher times.

Family time creates loyalty to each other and a feeling of support. Our children grow up fast so we should make sure we use the time we have.

It is wrong to think that Imam Hussain a.s. was defeated. Being killed does not mean being defeated. In a battle, the one who is killed has not been defeated. The one who does not achieve his goal has been defeated. The goal of Imam Hussain’s a.s. enemies was to eliminate Islam and all those who remained from the Prophet from the earth. His enemies were defeated because they did not achieve this.

According to my observation, recently Iran impressed the world with the three events:

First, a lady with her hair undone and her face uncovered in public was murdered due to her behavior against the Islamic rule, resulting in domestic street protests and violence and widespread criticizing extened even to the New York Music festival.

Second, Iran helped Russia in the attack on Ukraine with a number of unmanned aerial vehicles sold, which were more effective than the outdated weaponry used by the Russian military.

Third, Iran made heavy bombing on Kurds in Iraq with intensive missiles, setting a good example for the Russians engaged in the special operation in Ukraine how to raise the efficiency of offensive. Whether Iraq will revenge or the US will get involved to settle the question, it takes a little time for us to see.

You're right. And I would add that Iran has transferred many more drones to russia, several hundred.

The News you heard was not narrated in correct way. As the international media is under control of USA and and USA allies.
The lady was died in police station because she was sick

You know the Ukraine became center of NATO before Russia attack ( Ukraine ignored the agreement which signed with Russia and broke it and according to this agreement Ukraine was not allowed the NATO forces comes to Ukraine.

Also NATO is the great supporter of terrorist groups in the world , as Mr. Trump ,the last president of US said that the ISIS had been created and supported by USA. Kurdestan in Iraq is another center of NATO in where they are preparing many Terrorists and garrisons which are stand to attacked to Iran. So before they attack , Iran attacked their basics in Kurdestan.

You see , the media doesn't say the facts to the world , always people who defend their countries are called terrorist and people who are support by NATO are called freedom-maker

for example : Germany which sold a lot of Chemical weapons to Iraq, during the war of Iraq (Sadam) against Iran, and many people in IRAN Kurdestan and Iraq Kurdestan were murdered by those Chemical Bomb ,now Germany objects that in Iran a women was killed by police
( Kurdestan is an area ,which a part of it, is belong to Iran and a part of it, is belong to Iraq)

this is a long story , you understand what is going in the world from the summary.
everything is showing upside down by international media

Hi, Indian friend. I understand that in your country one could get good education of English language, so I do not know why you say you will learn English at this forum, because you have been a teacher, which implies that you must have completed your higher education in some university or college.

[MajidY]

Hi everybody,
I hope you are well. I'm so happy being here for learning English from profession people. and also making friendship to familiar with other people and cultures.
I've been skimming some posts and content. it was great, although it seems there are some Ideological contents to promote them to others. however I think it's not suitable for this forum. I hope learning from each other and give love together.
[if there are wrong English sentences I will be happy that you mention it.]

[behnam]

Dear Majid,

Welcome! How are you doing? I hope you are doing well.
I am Behnam from Iran. Your English is excellent. I am not good enough to correct you, but there are some structures which seem unusual to me. I am not sure, maybe your sentences are correct, but my eyes perhaps do not see as well as before.

For example, I prefer to write "very happy for being here to learn English and to establish friendship in order to get familiar...".

"I hope learning from each other and give love together..." sounds a little bit unusual. I am not sure, check the structure.

All the best,

Eighty five year old retired doctor, Roger Bannister sold his old leather shoes for 266,500 pounds earlier this month. This was no ordinary pair of shoes. They are a piece of history and a symbol of the power of belief to break down barriers . Roger was wearing these shoes when he did what people in the 1950’s thought was impossible: he ran a mile in under 4 minutes. 3 minutes 59.4 seconds to be exact.
For years, the world’s top runners could not break the 4-minute mile . Some even thought it was physiologically impossible for a human to run faster than that. One of Bannister’s running rival s, Australian, John Landry spent two years seeking to break the record. From 1952 to 1954, he ran the mile at 4:02.1, 4:02.6, 4:02.8, 4:02.5, 4:02.7 and 4:02.3. After this last attempt he said: “ Frankly , I think the four-minute mile is beyond my capabilities. Two seconds may not sound much, but to me it’s like trying to break through a brick wall. Someone may achieve the four-minute mile the world is wanting so desperately, but I don’t think I can.”

Meanwhile, Bannister, a medical student in England was working to break the same record. Just two years earlier Bannister was the favorite to win the mile in the Helsinki Olympics. He came in 4th. He was disappointed and defeated, but he didn’t give up.

1954 was Bannister’s final year of medical school. Even though he had only 45 minutes to train each day, he did have a couple of advantages. Through his medical studies, he knew that the body used less oxygen by running at a steady pace . And perhaps just as importantly, unlike Landry, he believed in himself. He regularly visualized his success as part of his training.

On the day of the race, Bannister waited for the wind to die down . His shoes were specially designed to be light and he had even shaved them down further himself. Everything was ready, and according to his plan, he paced himself perfectly running around the track. In the last lap he exploded with a mixture of emotions that he described as fear and pride. He collapse d as he crossed the finish line and the crowd erupted in cheers.

What was once impossible soon became taken for granted . Breaking the 4-minute mile is to this day an extreme accomplishment, but hundreds have done it, including a handful of high school students. Even stranger, Landry, the man who previously said he could not do it, ended up breaking the 4-minute barrier just 46 days after Bannister. All he needed was a little extra belief, which Bannister’s feat provided. What barriers could you break if you believed strongly enough?
