First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hi dear friend My dear imagine we were not able to speak English, so we couldn’t have made such a relationship and understandably have not known each other. Anyway, I think the reason we could have gotten on with each other is English. I am able to write to you, talk to you and listen to your peaceful voice and now we have lots of things in common based on our humanity. I realized humanism is beyond everything. Nations should holistically make relationship with each other according to their customs and their culture rather than their religion. I believe this will make peace in the whole world. One of the ways to achieve this is learning English, for instance, if I didn’t learn English, I could not have shared my opinion with you. As a matter of fact I can know the world better now and I think others can do too. Learning English would be beneficial to all people for example it can have people converge on one way by talking with each other and solve their problems instead of fighting. I’m enthusiastically looking forward to seeing that day and that’s why I’ve decided to teach English that has been my intention so far. That was my e-mail I had sent to one of my e-pals before, so I rewrote it to you. So anyway, I have been learning English for three years and. Anyway, I’ll be glad if I am a friend of you. Many thanks Hamid Akhoond
