🍏English Corner - Women Only #3

👇Click To Join Cafe👇 https://hilokal.page.link/o8JnD This CAFE is ONLY for women to practice English with each other. ⬇️ ⬇️ READ MORE ⬇️ ⬇️ There are two reasons for having a “women only table”, and cafe. 1. Women asked for a table for women only to avoid the unwanted behavior of men that they experience in regular tables. 2. Experience has shown us that new learners of English (or any language) are very intimidated by speaking in front of others, and even more when WOMEN are speaking in front of men. Initially, this table will remain open to EVERYONE, so it can be seen by non-members of this cafe - after that, the will become a PRIVATE “Members Only Table”. Men will be removed by the Co-Hosts. Trainer Johnny🇺🇸 will visit this table occasionally to speak with the members for the sake of planning the future of this “Private Cafe” and to give English English Lessons. Women should “request to join” this cafe by clicking the link to join (above). All requests to join this cafe will be approved AFTER we can be certain that you are a woman. If your profile doesn’t show a Display Picture / Profile Picture of YOU, we may ask you to send a voice message to one of our Moderators.

If you repeatedly forget to mute your microphone, a host may move you to the listening section.

1] I take it you already know Of tough and bough and cough and dough 2] Others may stumble, but not you On hiccough, thorough, laugh, and through. 3] And cork and work and card and ward 4] And font and front and word and sword Well done! And now if you wish, perhaps To learn of less familiar traps, 5] Beware of heard, a dreadful word That looks like beard and sounds like bird. 6] And dead: it’s said like bed, not bead– For goodness sakes don’t call it deed. 7] Watch out for meat and great and threat, They rhyme with suite and straight and debt. 8] A moth is not a moth in mother, Nor both in bother, broth in brother. 9] And here is not a match for there, And dear and fear for bear and pear. 10] And then there’s dose and rose and lose– Just look them up–and goose and choose, 11] And do and go, then thwart and cart. 12] Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start! 13] A dreadful language? Man alive! I’d mastered it when I was five.

1] Here is some pronunciation. 2] Ration never rhymes with nation, 3] Say prefer, but preferable, Comfortable and vegetable, 4] "B" must not be heard in doubt, Debt and dumb both leave it out. 5] In the words psychology, psychic and psychiatry, You must never sound the "P". 6] Psychiatrist you call the man who cures the complex, if he can. 7] In architect, chi is k. In arch it is the other way. 8] Please remember to say iron So that it’ll rhyme with lion. 9] Advertisers advertise, Advertisements will put you wise. 10] Time when work is done is leisure, Fill it up with useful pleasure. 11] Accidental, accident, Sound the g in ignorant. 12] Relative, but relation, Then say creature, but creation. 13] Say the a in gas quite short Bought remember rhymes with thwart, Drought must always rhyme with bout, In daughter leave the “gh” out. 14] Wear a boot upon your foot. Root can never rhyme with soot. 15] In muscle, sc is s, In muscular, it’s sk, yes! 16] Choir must always rhyme with wire, That again will rhyme with liar. 17] Then remember it’s address With an accent like possess. 18] "G" in sign must silent be, In signature, pronounce the g. 19] Please remember, to say towards Just as if it rhymed with boards. 20] Weight’s like wait, but not like height. Which should always rhyme with might. Sew is just the same as so, 21] Tie a ribbon in a bow. When you meet the queen you bow, Which again must rhyme with how. 22] In perfect English make a start. Learn this little rhyme by heart. https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/using-poetry

1] In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. 2] There is no such thing as not worshiping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. 3] And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of God or spiritual-type thing is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. 4] If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never feel you have enough. 5] Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. 6] Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. 7] Worship your intellect, you will end up feeling like a fraud, always on the verge of being found out.” —David Foster Wallace, This Is Water

🍎Women +Empowerment I’m writing to inform you that after 17 months of hosting “mixed” clubs for learners of English - I had been asked to create a (members only) WOMEN ONLY ENGLISH PRACTICING CLUB… And that is exactly what I did. It has been operating (successfully) since it was started in early July 2022 and it is growing steadily. There is a glaring problem that many women experience in “mixed” company, more so when already feeling self-conscious while speaking a new language. There are other “issues” that have a negative effect in mixed rooms. HOW CAN YOU HELP? TWO ways: • Share this message with BOTH learners of English- and Native Speakers of English that may very well be interested in making a difference in the world, especially the largest minority in the world… the WOMEN. The name of the Clubhouse club is: ENGLISH CORNER FOR WOMEN again, membership is by approval only. Please request to join. Here is the link to join: 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 https://www.clubhouse.com/join/english-corner-for-women/vA5aVVlk/m7YdJE9B? There is a (private ) Telegram group for the members of ENGLISH CORNER FOR WOMEN, which you can join from the pinned link in the 24/7 room, or you can request the link from me. We do not publicly post the link here. sincerely, Johnny 🍎001 https://hilokal.page.link/Hpxm9 Founder of English Corner,and English Corner / Women Only - both 24/7.

The Three Cows: Once, three cows lived in a green and fresh pasture near a forest: a white cow, a black cow and a reddish-brown cow. The cows were kind to each other. They used to graze in the meadow together and sleep near each other. One day, a reddish-brown lion happened to take a stroll out of the forest onto the meadow. It was hungry and looking for a prey. On catching sight of the cows it became glad, but couldn't attack them, because they were together. So, the lion sat behind a boulder and patiently waited till the cows would separate from each other. However, the cows were too clever to separate from each other. They knew that if they were together, no predator could attack them. The lion lay in ambush nearby for two or three days. But the cows continued to remain together, and wouldn't separate from each other. The lion became impatient. It thought of a plan. It went towards the cows, greeted them and said, "How are you my friends? Are you fine? I have been busy lately, so could not come and visit you. Today I made up my mind to pay you a visit." 2 The reddish-brown cow said, "Sir, your coming has really pleased us and brightened our pasture." Both the white and the black cows were troubled by what their friend, the reddish-brown cow said, and were grieved at its thoughtlessness. They said to each other, "Why does the reddish-brown cow believe what the lion says? Doesn't it know that lions seek other animals only to prey on them?" As the days passed by, the reddish-brown cow became more and more attached to the lion. The black cow and the white cow advised it against a friendship with the lion, but their efforts were in vain. One day, the lion said to the reddish-brown cow, "You know that the color of our bodies is dark and that the color of the body of the white cow is light. You also know that light color is the opposite of the dark color. It will be very good if I eat the white cow, so that there will be no difference among us any longer and we will be able to live together well." 3 The reddish-brown cow accepted the lion's argument and started talking to the black cow to keep it busy, so that the lion could eat the white cow. The white cow was left alone and was killed, while the black and the reddish-brown cows were busy in idle talk. Two or three days passed since the lion devoured the white cow. It became hungry again. It called the reddish-brown cow. The cow answered: "Yes sir!" The lion said, "The color of my body and the color of your body are both reddish-brown, and black does not go with our color. It will be very good if I eat the black cow, so that in this forest we all will be of the same color." The reddish-brown cow accepted this argument and moved away from the black cow. The lion attacked and devoured the black cow soon. And as for the reddish-brown cow, it was so filled with joy that it didn't know what to do. It roamed and grazed and said to itself, "It is only me who has the color of the lion." 4 A few days passed later, the lion was hungry again. It roared and said, "O the reddish-brown cow! Where are you?" The reddish-brown cow, shaking with fear, went forward and said, "Yes sir!" The lion said: "Today it is your turn. Get yourself ready, I am going to eat you." The reddish-brown cow, with great fear and horror, said, "Why sir, I am your friend. I did whatever you asked me to do. Still why do you want to eat me?" 5 The lion roared and said, "I have no friends. How is it possible that a lion makes friendship with a cow?" No matter how much the reddish-brown cow begged and entreated, the lion didn't accept its words. Finally the cow said, "Mr. Lion, please allow me to cry out three times before you eat me." The lion said, "Ok. Quickly, quickly!" The reddish-brown cow cried out, "I was eaten the very day the white cow was eaten. I was eaten the very day the black cow was eaten. I was eaten the very day I made friends with the lion." The lion devoured the reddish-brown cow very quickly. Then it said to itself: "I have finished my job in this forest. Now I had better go to other forests." Any group without unity will easily be destroyed.
