“Dude, let me tell you right now,” he says as he wipes down the counter in his host family’s basement, “learning English suuucks.” Aziz Ansari (the alias he chose for himself) has been living and attending school in the United States for about four and a half years now, but his journey to slowly learning English began nine years ago. Born in Indonesia and raised in Malaysia, Aziz grew up in a wealthy family, who already had it planned for him that he would eventually make his way to America, whether through immigrating or attending school. His parents prepared him for his move by sending him to international English academy for the majority of his higher education, starting around seventh grade. Along with speaking English, Aziz also speaks French, Indonesian, Malaysian (his first language), and Spanish, but he claims that learning English was his most frustrating to learn. Aziz and I met about two years ago when we worked together in a chain steakhouse. We became great friends almost immediately; although we’ve drifted far apart, since I left my …show more content…
He said that in addition to English breaking its own rules, he is also frustrated by, what he called, regional synonyms. He doesn’t see the point in different parts of the country calling the same item a different name. For example, while he was visiting a friend in Tennessee, they went to Walmart and Aziz was in charge of pushing the “buggy,” but yet when he goes to the grocery store here in Evansville, he uses a cart, then there’s also his fraternity brother from New York who calls it a wagon, and another brother who calls it a carriage. Millington actually mentions this in her article Lost In Translation: Overcoming The Language Barrier As A Brit In America that, “The next time you think you’ve communicated effectively, think “soda” or “pop” and check with your audience for

Nominee of six and winner of two Golden Globe awards, starred in two Christmas films, “The Grinch who Stole Christmas” and “The Scrooge,” Jim Carrey once said, “You can spend your whole life imaging ghost, worrying about the pathway to the future, but all there will ever be is what’s happening here and the decisions we make in this moment, which are based in either love or fear. So many of us choose our path based on fear, disguised as practicality. What we really want seems impossible, out of reach and ridiculous to expect, so, we never dare to ask the Universe for it. I am saying, I am the proof that you can ask the Universe for it.” The comedian/ actor, that’s well known for his facial expressions and for his most zany humor characters didn’t always have that fun and happy life, we expected.

Bruce Willis is a worldwide renowned Hollywood actor and one of the sex symbols of his generation.
He was called the dumbest child at school, failed a high percentage of his classes, was bullied and tortured by classmates. He struggled with a violent temper and his father had left his family, nevertheless in spite of his harsh life he became an accomplished professor of neurosurgery, plastic surgery, oncology, and pediatrics with an appreciable amount of testimonials from his former patients. My inspiration is Ben Carson. He studied neurosurgery in John Hopkins University and excelled. He started doing surgery soon after and he is greatly known for his successful conjoined twins’ surgery. As a child, I have always respected to Ben Carson due to the fact that he made me realize that I can be a surgeon even though I have hardships. At a
Until 600 years after Christ died most of the Arabian Peninsula was a political backwater of little consequence to the rest of the world. Muhammad of Mecca, a member of the Quraysh tribe, was born after his father died around 570. His uncle, Abu Talib, raised him. He worked on the caravans operating on the southwest side of the Arabian Peninsula.
Shah Rukh personally ran with the Muhtasibs a censor of public morals of Herat to the wine cellars at the house of his son. Likewise, Muhammed Juki and his grandson Alu'uddawla direct the exchange of wine a virtual family reliance which is prohibited by the Koran, Shah Rukh had been like his father using religion to serve his aim. He wasn't like his father who ruled the Timurid Empire as a Turco-Mongol war leader, but as an Islamic sultan that depicted as a man of unusual commitment, technique, and subtlety Islamic ruler who repaired an incredible part of the physical and psychological hurt that achieved by his father.

Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) is known to be the founder of Islam. He is also known for Muslims to be the Holy prophet, and also he is known to be the last prophet sent by God to the humanity. Prophet Mohamed was born in Mecca, on Saudi Arabia in 570 CE. He was an orphan in his early childhood and was raised by his uncle Abu Talib.

After 3 years, prophet Mohamed started publicly lecturing these disclosures.
The fact that a malfunction in using the freedom of speech would lead to one’s death sentence — what’s more, ten years of cliffhanger of unknown from the threat of death and several others innocent murders — is certainly horrifying. The well-known British novel writer Salman Rushdie have taken a seemingly permanent and actual relief from the fatwa called by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini because of his novel The Satanic Verses, which was treated as a blasphemous work against Islam. After years of hiding and under British’s police protection, Rushdie finally got out from shade and traveled around and give speeches. And at the same time, an item, a pin saying “I am Salman Rushdie” came out to the world, and luckily because of Rushdie’s professorship
Muhammad was once someone that was ignored and shamed upon, but is now known as the founder of Islam and the vast empire of Arabia. Throughout his life, Muhammad persevered through many family and religious challenges, even when many people fought against his new religion.
The best actors are those who deliver the most believable and authentic performances. The audience forgets that this is an actor playing the role and is completely convinced by the- character they see before them. This is what real acting is - and it's much more than just 'putting on an act'.
“one cannot get by without English in urban centres, whether at the supermarket, the movie theatre, or in shopping malls... nurseries are immersing children in English to give them a head start and middle and upper class Arab parents are proud to showcase their offspring’s communication skills in English.” (Badry, 2011, p.91)
Teaching and learning language at early ages is easier than learning it at older ages as Chiswick & Miller, (2007) emphasized in their study that proficiency in spoken English decreases with age. With that notion in mind, it comes as a surprise that the English language is introduced so late in the public school education curriculum in Saudi Arabia. Over the years as more Saudi students leave their home countries to study in English speaking countries, the demand for English speaking skills that are beyond just being conversation
