Tongue-in-Cheek

Why were you teasing Sonia about her new hairdo? She really took offense at what you said.

I didn't mean to offend her. I was simply making a tongue-in-cheek remark when i said that it was too elaborate for a girl of her young, tender age.

Well, she thought you were serious. She had no idea that you were just saying that as a joke.

I'm really sorry. I suppose I owe her an apology.

Bend Over Backwards

When Joan first started teaching she was afraid that she would have a lot of trouble getting used to the kids and to the faculty. Her fears turned out to be unfounded, since everybody bent over backwards to help her. Everyone tried very hard to help her feel comfortable and adjust to the school.

100 Penguins

A truck driver was driving 100 penguins to the New York Zoo when his truck broke down on the freeway. The driver got out of the cab and was looking at the engine when a second truck driver stopped in front of him and asked if he needed any help. The penguins' driver explained that he is taking the penguins to the zoo and asked if the other man would take the penguins there. He agreed. Some hours later, the second truck driver drove past the first one, who was still waiting on the freeway for help to come. The penguins, however, were still on the truck! "I thought I asked you to take those penguins to the zoo," shouted the first driver. The second replied, "I did, but I had some money left, so we're going to the cinema now."

A poem

englishd5 — Mon, 15 May 2006 08:16:18 GMT

Don't waste precious time

worrying about

what you should have done…….

But rather; focus your attention

on what you are doing now,

and what you want to do

in the future

Don't concentrate

on any mistakes that might

have been made,

but learn from them.

Debbie Avery

وقت گرانمایه را در اندوه،

آنچه باید باشد،

بر باد مده.

بر آنچه اکنون انجام می دهی،

و آنچه در آینده می خواهی انجام دهی، اندیشه کن.

بر لغزشهایی که گمان می کنی داشته ای میندیش،

از آنها بیاموز. دبی آوری

Some Proverbs

englishd5 — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 15:13:27 GMT

"You can't take it with you when you die."

When we die we leave everything on earth. We don't take anything with us. Even the richest people cannot take their money with them after death. This proverb reminds us that some material things are not really so valuable as we think.

"Better untaught than ill taught."

This proverb drops the verb "to be". But we understand: "It is better not to be taught at all than to be taught badly." It's better not to learn something than to learn it badly. This idea is echoed in Pope's famous line: "A little learning is a dangerous thing;".

· taught = past participle of verb "teach" (here used in passive voice)

· ill taught = badly taught

"If you wish good advice, consult an old man."

Old people have a lot of experience. If you want to have good advice or recommendations, ask an old person, not a young one.

· wish (verb) = want, desire

· advice (noun) = recommendation as to what to do

· consult (verb) = ask; go to for advice or information

"If you wish good advice, consult an old man."

Old people have a lot of experience. If you want to have good advice or recommendations, ask an old person, not a young one.

· wish (verb) = want, desire

· advice (noun) = recommendation as to what to do

· consult (verb) = ask; go to for advice or information

"You can't tell a book by its cover."

We need to read a book to know if it's good or bad. We cannot know what it's like just by looking at the front or back cover. This proverb is applied to everything, not only books
