Four Helpful Hints

Here are 4 little hints that I think will help your English. Check with T if you don't understand what I am saying:

1. S is an important letter in English. Many plurals are formed with s: apple, apples, girl, girls, car, cars etc. Some words are made into plurals in a different way: woman - women| man - men| church - chuches| child - children | person - people | foot - feet | mouse - mice | tooth - teeth. Check all nouns in your dictionary to see how the plural is formed.
2. Only use an apostrophe (') in possessives: i.e. words that indicate that something belongs to the person or thing: Example, The cat's claws were sharp. This is ONE cat. If it were two cats you would say The cats' claws were sharp. Do you see the difference?

3. Compound sentences: When you have two complete thoughts joined by and, but, or, nor, for or other words that are conjunctions, separate them with a comma beforethe conjunction. Example: Jack and Jill ran up the hill, and Jack fell down. I like to write, but it makes me tired.

4. Always check spelling in your dictionary.

Take care, Sue

Sabber's letter to Sue

Hi Sue

I hope you are fine. We read your letter to Faranak in the class. Now I want to say some things about that letter.
I think it is not a good idea that we discuss politics on the website because Discussing about politics can hurt our friendship.

Tow years ago, I lost one of my best friends because of politics, of course I have many opinions about politics.

I think you and I are different from our leaders, we are good friends for each other but my leader is not a good friend for your leader!

In any case, I hope that always you and I are good friends for each other.
And I will answer your questions in future.

Thanks a lot.

Your friend, SABBER

Maryam's letter to Sue

Hi Sue
Tanks alot for your letter. I'm so sorry because, Ianswer you very late. Last week I was very busy.
Now your answers:
Here in Iran all of schools have budgets but, the schools which get good rankings can have higher budgets. So teachers are very strict with their students and students can not enjoy studying.
Therefore schhols try to employ strict teachers. I want to be relax when I see a teacher for example our phisycs' techer is very very strict and I'm nervous in her class.
In gils' schools teacher's never strike students but, in boys' schools some teachers strike students but they are very rare.
At last I should say everything in Iran is university and because of this, even the best friends are rivals for together. Of course their contest is well.
