Hi! I hope you're doing well.
What's the difference between ex- and former?
(I know ex- is a prefix and former is used for formal speech.) For example, I want to fill the blow blank place with the correct word and I have two options, ex and former. Which one should I pick?
+I used to live next door, but I moved last week.
- So you are a/an .................. neighbor, right?

I've watched Dota: Dragon's blood, and I think this anime can be a successful project for Netflix. If you experienced the game, Dota, this series would make you enjoy yourselves. If you didn't, it doesn't matter, the anime would inject you some joy. You are going to meet some heroes, and step in a world including elves, humans and dragons. I highly recommend the anime. Enjoy your time♥

In my opinion, the most important holiday in each country is the holiday that marks the beginning of new year. In a lot of country people celebrate new year in Christmas, but when do Iranian people celebrate new year in Iran? Norouz is that holiday that people celebrate in Iran, and it takes place in the first day of spring. Norouz is an ancient holiday that is celebrated for a long time. We believe that in Norouz, everything is going to be new, and earth is breathing and becoming alive again. It lasts for thirteen days, and as a student I should say that we also take a breath in these thirteen days.
What do usually do? Before new year people clean their homes, dust the furniture, wash their carpets, and get new stuff specially new clothes. We called this “Khane Tekani”, and if I translate it, it means “house shaking”.In Norouz Eve, we usually eat “Sabzi polo ba mahi”, and it’s so delicious. In Norouz we go to our grandparents’ home, and get together. The older people give youngers gifts like money. People wish each other a healthy and happy new year. Some people go to graveyards, and remember the dead. The most important symbol of Norouz is “Haft Sin” that has a long story, but let me skip it.
Norouz lets us smell the blossoms of trees. You can also smell a lot of delicious cakes and cookies. My mother bakes doughnuts for the holiday. Iranians buy nuts, fruits and sweets for the guests who comes to their homes. This holiday is finished by having picnic in thirteenth day. We call this day “Nature Day”, and we go to parks and spend our time there.
I don’t talk about fireworks. Actually, before Norouz people set fireworks at the night of last Wednesday of year. It’s a famous holiday in Iran and its name is “Chahar Shanbe Souri”. Some people jump over the fire, and say some words. Some people get together, and spent time together. We get ready for new year when we pass this beautiful night. Norouz takes place in twenty days later. Happy new year in advanc

What do you think about procrastination? Are you a procrastinator? Is it good or bad? I’ll try to answer these questions in this writing, from my point of view. To me, being a procrastinator is one of the worst features that a person could have. When you put off your tasks and works, you have to finish them frantically, and it takes your calmness. It might not reach that quality you expected, and you promise to yourself that it will never happen again, and you’ll do your duty right away. If you are a real procrastinator, you know this kind of promises is a joke. It can be hurt your reputation, and people won’t trust you anymore. Sometimes it may be able to expose you to lose your job. Maybe you will have to get someone to do your tasks, and it can make you beg people. The worst motto that procrastinators have, is “we still have time”.
Actually, I’m a bit procrastinator, and sometimes it hurts me. For example, I put studying my lessons in weekend, and most of the time I won’t have enough time to study them all. So some of them last be accumulated and not studied until the exams. It makes me don’t get what master teaches in middle of the term. Another example, I put off my machine lab reports until last night that I can send them, and I have a excuse for this procrastination that is “I don’t like it at all”. It makes that I don’t understand what I’m writing in reports, and it may ruin my mark. I’m not always procrastinator for all of my lessons and for some of them I’m a well-organized. For instance, I like electronics lessons, so I do their homework and projects a.s.a.p. Every time that was my turn to vacuum the room or wash the dishes in dorm, I tried to do them without any delay. This term I have to translate a part of a book for English lesson at university, but I put it off, and I say to myself every time,” I wish I have started it sooner”. I think virtual learning made me be a procrastinator more than past. I know I should fight with this feature, and I’m trying

This picture that you see above, is kind of arts ,and its name is mosaic arts. It’s made with tiles and wood, and it was made by my sister. So, this handmade art work decorates our home. I remember ,it was being made as her art project for her class. I think this type of art needs a patient artist to get done it well. Its small tiles were broken to smaller piece ,then they were put together like puzzle. It’s imitated a painting, and I think I can feel its colors. It’s beautiful and unique ,and this type of art can be weird for some people. In my opinion, it’s a painting that doesn’t need paints. I thinks tiles being in different size makes it a beautiful picture .To be heavy is an disadvantage for it, so it cannot be hanged. For sure, you can find better version of it, but for an amateur in this art, my sister, it’s so good and beautiful.
