Proverb ['prɔvə:b]A "proverb" is a short, traditional saying in general use. It usually expresses some obvious truth or familiar experience."The best things in life are free."===> We don't have to pay for the things that are really valuable, like love, friendship and good health."Still waters run deep.""You can't take it with you when you die.""Better untaught than ill taught.""Don't cross your bridges before you come to them.""Soon learnt, soon forgotten.""Even a worm will turn."====> Con giun xéo lắm cũng quằn"It was the last straw that broke the camel's back.""If the stone fall upon the egg, alas for the egg! If the egg fall upon the stone, alas for the egg!"===> Life just isn't fair, and this realistic Arab proverb recognizes that. The stone will always break the egg. Life's like that!"Marry in haste, and repent at leisure."====> If we get married quickly, without thinking carefully, we may be sorry later. And we will have plenty of time to be sorry."The best advice is found on the pillow."===> If we have a problem, we may find the answer after a good night's sleep. People also often say: "I'll sleep on it.""All clouds bring not rain."""""" You can't tell a book by its cover """"""Bad news travels fast.""No news is good news.""Live and let live.""Birds of a feather flock together."====> "Birds of a feather" means "birds of the same type". The whole proverb means that people of the same type or sort stay together. They don't mix with people of another type.

I have just join an English class for 4 weeks after very long time I quitted. At least for 4 years I did not learn English. Now I restart from immediate level. I have a lot of difficulty with listening and writing skills...Thinking about my learning, I have some ideas I think them can be useful with meFirst, reading is very good for writing. I will read electronic newspaper everyday, and try to write about anything I am interested inSecond, listening is the hardest skill in english learning. Try to listen as much as I can. There is only one way to improve listening , practice, practice, and practice ... with real materialsUse what we learn is the best way to understand, If we understand, we try to experience, take a risk, learn from our mistakes so we will never forget "what we learn", means that it become our "knowledge"I have till remember what a native speaker tell me :Writing comes after rule of Grammarbut...Speaking comes after rule of CUSTOMI know that is true, I should follow it

Keep an eye on singer's face. That's emotion!Fantine - I Dreamed a Dream[FANTINE]There was a time when men were kindWhen their voices were softAnd their words invitingThere was a time when love was blindAnd the world was a songAnd the song was excitingThere was a timeThen it all went wrongI dreamed a dream in time gone byWhen hope was highAnd life worth livingI dreamed that love would never dieI dreamed that God would be forgivingThen I was young and unafraidAnd dreams were made and used and wastedThere was no ransom to be paidNo song unsung, no wine untastedBut the tigers come at nightWith their voices soft as thunderAs they tear your hope apartAnd they turn your dream to shameHe slept a summer by my sideHe filled my days with endless wonderHe took my childhood in his strideBut he was gone when autumn cameAnd still I dream he'll come to meThat we will live the years togetherBut there are dreams that cannot beAnd there are storms we cannot weatherI had a dream my life would beSo different from this hell I'm livingSo different now from what it seemedNow life has killed the dream I dreamed.
