"Lost at The Airport” Amanda walked into the bustling airport, scanning the crowd for her friend, Lisa. They agreed where to meet at the airport. Lisa had told Amanda that she would meet her at the information desk, but she was nowhere to be found.  She thought about calling Lisa, wondering if she had gone to the wrong terminal. Amanda was nervous that Lisa would show up late. They were on a tight schedule to catch their flight. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Lisa appeared, out of breath and apologetic. "I'm so sorry!" Lisa exclaimed. Then she explained why she got lost. “I got confused and went to the arrivals instead of departures. I had no idea where our gate was." Amanda couldn't stay mad at her friend for long. They laughed about the mix-up, relieved that they would make it to their flight. As they made their way to the gate, Amanda thought about how important it is to double-check meeting locations, especially in a busy place like an airport. The friends boarded the plane settled into their seats, grateful for the unexpected adventure. Little did they know that this trip would be filled with more surprises and adventures, making it a trip to remember. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theenglishzone/support

The quality of your life comes from the quality of the little things that you do in life that basically make up your whole life. Read the article that I mentioned here.

A lot of times in life, you don't want to take a small risk, take a small loss in order to have a bigger gain down the line (in the future). We are afraid to take action, to go through difficulties because we are not looking at the bigger picture and what we can possibly achieve because of these risks and difficulties. I answered a question I received on Instagram from an English learner. If you have a question, 🙋‍♂️ feel free to shoot me a message on Instagram @TheEnglishZone_ and I'll be happy to answer it in the future episodes.

Learning English is boring for you probably because the way you study and practice is boring, the subjects and the topics that you are using to practice are boring, not int eresting.

Evil vs. Good I am cast upon a horrible desolate island, void of all hope of recovery. BUT I am alive, and not drowned, as all my ship's company was. I am singled out and separated as it were, from all the world, to be miserable. BUT I am singled out, too, from all the ship's crew to be spared from death; and He that miraculously saved me from death can deliver me from this condition. I am divided from mankind, a solitaire, one banished from human society. BUT I am not starved, and perishing on a barren place, affording no sustenance. I have not clothes to cover me. BUT I am in a hot climate, where, if I had clothes, I could hardly wear them. I am without any defence or means to resist any violence of man or beast. BUT I am cast on an island where I see no wild beasts to hurt me, as I saw on the coast of Africa; and what if I had been shipwrecked there? I have no soul to speak to, or relieve me. BUT God wonderfully sent the ship in near enough to the shore, that I have gotten out so many necessary things as will either supply my wants, or enable me to supply myself even as long as I live.

He lived in Phoenix, Arizona. He believed that he was quite average in every aspect of his life. He never felt like he stood out. He had mediocre grades in college, and he was not athletic or physically active. Joseph felt unfulfilled and lost. He lived a life of no purpose.

Madame Loisel was a beautiful woman of average means. She lived in a small apartment in Paris with her husband, who worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Education. Madame Loisel had always wanted to lead a life of luxury and be part of the upper class society, but she was unable to do so because of her modest means. One day, Madame Loisel received an invitation to a fancy party at a friend’s house. Excited to go, she decided to buy a new dress to wear. But Madame Loisel was disappointed when she realized that she did not have a necklace to complete her outfit. Desperate to fit in with the other guests, Madame Loisel asked her husband to borrow a necklace from his friend, M. Forestier. M. Forestier agreed and loaned her a beautiful diamond necklace. At the party, Madame Loisel felt glamorous and luxurious wearing the necklace. She felt like she fit in with the other guests and had a wonderful time. At the end of the night, Madame Loisel said goodbye to her hosts and hurried home with the necklace. But when she arrived home, she realized to her horror that the necklace was not in her bag. The next morning, Madame Loisel and her husband searched everywhere for the necklace but could not find it. Utterly desperate, they decided to replace the necklace with an imitation one of similar quality and price. This cost them a small fortune. For the next ten years, Madame Loisel and her husband worked hard to pay off the debt caused by the necklace. They lived a meager lifestyle and sacrificed all luxuries. Finally, at the end of ten years, Madame Loisel and her husband had paid off their debt. But one day, Madame Loisel unexpectedly ran into M. Forestier. When she asked about the necklace, he revealed that the necklace he had loaned her was a fake. Madame Loisel was shocked with relief. She had suffered for ten years, sacrificing all luxuries, desperately trying to pay off a debt for something that was not even real. Her suffering had been in vain.

Waking up early has a lot of benefits – you avoid the rush of getting ready for work and you can take your time to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. I usually wake up early so that I can have a relaxed start to the day. That was not the case last Thursday. I woke up late and it completely threw off my morning routine. I had to rush to get ready and head to work. I made it to work on time and everything was smooth until my lunch break. I had a long lunch break that day, so I decided to go grocery shopping. After finally finding everything I needed at the store and just as I was about to check out, I realized that I didn’t have my wallet with me. I thought I had left it at home, so I couldn’t buy anything. I was so frustrated! I went home during my lunch break to see if I could find my wallet. And it turned out, it was in my backpack the whole time. I guess I was just so distracted that I didn’t even remember putting it there in the morning. This experience was definitely a lesson learned – now I always make sure to double check that I have my wallet and everything else that I need to take with me before I leave the house! But most importantly, I always wake up early to avoid being late for work. Benefit (noun): an advantage or something good you can get from something else. Avoid (verb): keep away from or stop yourself from doing (something).

Threw off (phrasal verb): messed up, ruined It turned out (phrase): it appeared. Distracted (adjective): unable to focus and concentrate on an activity or a thing.

Fat Matt There was a boy. His name was Matt. Matt was fat. He weighed around 250 pounds. He always ate fast food. Wait, it’s rude to say someone is fat. I’m sorry! Matt was not fat! Matt was overweight. He ate junk food every day. Every morning on his way to work, he got breakfast from McDonald’s. He went to the McDonald’s drive-thru. He ordered a double cheeseburger, a large fries, and a large coke. He ate his meal at his desk in his office. He felt weak all day at work. For lunch, he ate snacks like cookies and potato chips. When he left work at 5:00 pm, he went to McDonald’s again. Every day after work, he went to McDonald’s. He ordered a large meal. He went up to the counter and said, ‘Can I have a double cheeseburger? Can I also have a large fries and a large coke?’ The cashier said, ‘For here or to go?’, ‘To go, please.’ He took his meal home and sat on the couch.’ He always ate his food while watching TV.’ He felt weak all day every day and he didn’t have any energy at night. He regretted eating junk food every day. He regretted spending all that money on eating out. One day, he wanted to eat out. Then, he said, ‘I shouldn’t eat at McDonald’s today. I should cook something healthy at home.’ From that day on, he decided to cook and eat at home. He started losing weight. He also started saving money, as well. He felt good and strong. Matt was not fat anymore. ******* Practice your English grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening and speaking by listening to a story and answering questions with me about the story.

*Emad’s English* My name is Emad and I am from Egypt. I came to the United States four years ago. When I came here, I could not speak English at all and I didn’t have any friends. Because of that, my life was very difficult. I only spoke Arabic. After living in the U.S. for a few months, I started working at Amazon. My job was good and I made good money, but my life was hard because I could not speak English. I wanted to travel alone to other cities and other states, but I couldn’t. One time, I got sick. I had a bad stomach ache. So I had to go to the doctor. The doctor couldn’t understand me because he didn’t speak Arabic and I didn’t speak English. So I had to call my friend to help me. I was frustrated and disappointed because I couldn’t live the life that I wanted to live. I also couldn’t make friends because of English. Then I made a big decision. I joined English classes at a school in my city. I started learning English. I practiced English every day for two hours. My English started to improve. Now my life is very different. My life is much better than four years ago. I can speak and communicate in English well and confidently. I can do whatever I want because I can understand and speak English. I can also help my friends and family because they can’t speak much English. I helped myself and decided to learn English. Now, I can help others, as well.

Alex is Sarah’s friend. They have been friends for over six years. They have known each other since college. He is from Chicago, Illinois. He has always lived in Illinois and he has never traveled to other countries. Also, he only speaks English. He has recently heard about Sarah and Michael’s plan for learning Spanish. He calls Sarah. She picks up, ‘Hello!’ Alex says, ‘Hey Sarah, it’s Alex!’ Sarah responds, ‘Alex, how have you been? It’s been a while since we last spoke!’ They haven’t spoken for almost a year. After catching up with Sarah, he asks her why she wants to learn Spanish. Sarah says, ‘Well, we have made plans to go to Mexico this year to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and we don’t speak Spanish very well. We have hired a tutor to teach us Spanish.’ Sarah has never been to Mexico. In fact, she has never been to Central America. However, she has traveled to Chile, Peru, and Argentina before. Sarah has not tried hard to learn Spanish before. This time, she’s really serious about it. She has always wanted to be fluent in Spanish and she thinks Spanish is an important language to learn. In addition, she has found a great teacher. His name is Jeff. Jeff has taught Spanish for two years. He has taught over 200 students so far. These students have learned Spanish fluently because of Jeff. Now Sarah and Michael want to learn Spanish. They have never taken Spanish classes before. So they are ready! They are thrilled and excited. After one week, Alex calls Sarah again, ‘Hey Sarah! Actually, I have decided to learn Spanish with you guys! I have also decided to go to Mexico with you and Michael!’ Sarah says, ‘That’s cool, Alex! You can definitely join us for the Spanish classes, but you cannot come with us to Mexico!’ Alex says, ‘But, I want to…’ Sarah hangs up the phone! Alex gets upset. He sends a text to Sarah, ‘Just letting you know that I’ve heard Cinco de Mayo is more of an American holiday than a Mexican one. Mexicans don’t celebrate it much.’

After two weeks, he decided to stay there! He hated his job and he loved spending more time in Peru. So he decided to quit his job and stay longer in Peru. He called his boss and said, ‘I want to quit my job. I don’t want to work there anymore. Goodbye forever!’ Jeff quit his job and stayed there, but he had to find a job and a place to live. He wanted to teach English in Peru and travel around the country. So, he looked for a teaching job in Peru and he found a job in a school. He taught English to high school students. Slowly, he started to learn Spanish. He also took some Spanish classes in a college there to improve his Spanish quickly. After three years of living and teaching in Peru, he learned Spanish fluently! He also learned so much about Peruvian culture, history, and life.
