Maple syrup trip

MicroSkills students and teachers went to  the maple syrup festival on Wednesday, March 30. The weather was very nice, and that place was good. I learned about making and cooking maple syrup. But I think MicroSkills organization was weakness. However, I took some pictures from there and my classmates. You can see them below. I like the school bus because when I was child I used to see it in a cartoon.

Adjective or Adverb?!!!

When I read about adverbs and adjectives I will be confused. So I decided to explain adverb and adjective shortly.
I’m very thankful to Joseph. He introduced Tense buster in library’s website to me. You can learn completely about adjective and adverb there. (www.torontopubliclibrary.ca)
Adjective or Adverb?!!!
We use adj. to describe nouns. We use adv. to describe verbs.
For example, we say “His work is accurate.” And “He works accurately.”
Most Adv. Are made by adding -ly to the adjectives. But be careful: not all words ending ly are adverbs. These words are adjectives: silly, friendly, lovely, leisurely.
Note: we use verb + adj. to say how someone looks, seems, is getting.
Here are some examples:
How do doctors attend to the patients? They do it continuously. (adv.)
There is a slow move towards … (adj.)
We are moving slowly towards … (adv.)
You can be sure that employers are watching developments closely. (In this example closely mention to verb not to noun.)
There is a serious need for new medication. (Need is noun)
We seriously need to new medication. (Need is verb)
Some adverbs have the same form as the adjective. Here are three examples:
You’re working very hard. (Hard=adv.)
He drives much too fast. (Fast=adv.)
She arrived late again. (Late=adv.)

March break

This March break I was alone. But I found my friend by face book. He invited me for dinner. He is professor of york university.
Also, I helped to my friend for publish his advertisement in woodbriedge. He sell and install Air condition system. Last Friday, I went to my friend pizza store and I saw to make pizza there. That was wonderful for me.
I toke 2 appointments for prepare my resume from Microskills. Unfortunately my time was wasted because the consular don't help me well. I think almost anybody don't help completely to newcomer. They only say and don't do that well and completely, I don't know why because government pay money to them for helping to newcomers.(Welcome to Canada!!!)

I think it's better that government will pay money for training people in theirs job until pay money to companies like Microskills.

I hope next March I will go traveling with my wife not alone. I will find a job after I learn English.
I can't buy car, house before I earn money. I must find a job here as soon as my money finish.

An Iranian Ceremony(The Last Wednesday of Year)

چهارشنبه سوری
Wednesday Soori Celebration is the name of an ancient celebration from 1700 BC in Iran. Originally this ceremony was to last 5 days in each Iranian year. But now it is on the last Wednesday of each year.
Wednesday Soori consists of two words, Wednesday and Soori .  Soori means red. When someone is jumping over the fire he reads “سرخی تو از من زردی من از تو”. In fact it represents catharsis (cleaning from bad things). That means you want the fire rid your diseases and problems (yellow) and give you energy, healthy and warmth (red).
This celebration isn't religious.
Some ritual Soori are:
  1.  New Year, new jar
  2.  آجیل مشکل گشا (problem solving nuts)
  3. (قاشق زنی)Ghashoghzani
1-      In the past, Iranians would drop old clay jars from the roofs of their house. They believe that the problems passed away in the New Year. Of course, nobody does that now.
2-      In the past, people used to roast watermelon seeds, pistachios, hazelnuts, almonds, wheat and hemp over the fire that night. The nuts were the last of the winter storage. Nowadays, Iranians buy the مشکل گشا  nuts (problem solving nuts).
3-      Another tradition is Ghashoghzani (قاشق زنی ).The young boys and girls hide themselves below the stuff and go in front of their neighbours's house. They hit to bowl with spoon. The neighbour comes out and gives chocolate, nuts or money to them.

Story (1) - intresting opinion of a mathematician about man & woman

One day some one asked a mathematician, "What is your opinion about man or woman(the man)?"
The mathematician replied, "If a man or woman has morals, then s/he is equal 1 (man or woman=1).
If s/he is beautiful, then we will set 0 after the 1 (man or woman=10).
If s/he has money, then we will set another 0 after the 10 (man or woman=100)
If s/he has lineage, then we will set another 0 after the 100 (man or woman=1,000)
But If the human removes the number 1 (morals) from this formula, then only 0 remains and the number 0 has no value by itself, So that man has no value".

Time Table

Today I want to creat a table about kinds of verb tenses. In fact, this table doesn't include passive verbs. If this table is good, please give your comment.
