Are you a winner?
This training course is called English for Winners, and before you delve into it, we should find out together if it is for you. Do you want to be a winner? Most English learners are unhappy with their English ability. If you ask the average English learner to assess their skills, you're very likely to get one of these answers: "I studied English at school for more than 5 years, but my English is not so good." "I speak a little English, but I think it's just 'school English'." "I understand it a little, but I can't speak it fluently." "My grammar is very bad. I've often tried to learn the grammar rules, but they're too complicated for me." "I had good school grades in English but I still can't speak it very well." These are typical complaints, and they make it clear that very few learners are really happy with the quality of their English. Most of them realize that their efforts are not yielding the results they expect. But instead of changing their strategy and trying to find the right learning methods and techniques, they simply give up. They think that they "just don't have a talent for learning languages". The winners, however, are those English learners who have taken control of their own programs. They know that acquiring English is an ongoing process. It is something that happens every day, day in and day out. They also understand that when it comes to learning English any progress is success. ©EnglishForWinners, Page 1 of 34

Dear Listener, since you have obtained this audio program, you have already shown that you belong to the rare categories of winners. Of course the title of the program is rather provocative and raises the question how you would describe somebody who is not a winner. Is the opposite of a winner a loser? I would never use such a negative term because after all, it is who who decides what you really are. We'll soon take a closer look at how winners learn English, but right now let's find out what it takes to be a

    The boy was all over the vulnerable looking kid. If I had listened to the siren call of the chocolate biscuits that were sitting on my desk, it would have been too late by the time I opened the classroom door. I would not have had to pull the boys apart. My God, I thought one was going to claw the other to bits! I had to call the parents in of course; we can’t have that kind of behaviour on school premises. But I was a bit thrown by the parents’ reaction, they didn’t seem to want to know what had lead to the incident – they didn’t give the lad a chance to explain ……

    Society try's to keep people from expressing their own ideas and/or interests. Since society thinks this way, many people feel as if that is the only way to think. In the short story, The sociology of leopard man the author Logan Feys states," society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers". In my opinion there's definitely a time to act serious but there is also a time to let loose and get away from society and just be yourself.…

    The state 's rich tradition of manufacturing gold jewellery dates back to several centuries. Some of the popular traditional Assamese jewellery include earrings with exquisite Lokaparo, Keru, Thuriya, Jangphai, Long Keru, Sona or Makori; an array of necklaces including Golpata, Satsori, Jon biri, Bena, Gejera, Dhol biri, Doog doogi, Biri Moni, Mukuta Moni, Poalmoni, Silikha Moni and Magardana, and diversified rings including Senpata, Horinsakua, Jethinejia, bakharpata and others. Some designs are exclusively found in this region only. The jewellery is typically hand-made, and the designs mostly depict floral and faunal treasures of the region. Traditional designs of Assamese jewelleries are simple but decorated with vibrant red gemstone, ruby or mina. Black, red and green colours on gold jewellries are most favourites among the buyers; these colours also dominate the traditional dresses of tribes and communities of the northeastern states. Some designs of traditional Assamese ornaments are directly derived from the elements of tribal culture. These designs and motifs sometimes have found space in these ornaments directly, and sometimes by blending. The Jangphai Keru and Gamkharu for example, were originally tribal ornaments. Lokaparo, which is an ornament with two sets of twin pigeons placed back to back in gold, mina or ruby was originally worn by high profile male dignitaries of the royal Ahom dynasty. Gamkharu, a pair of gold bangle, originally used by male only, now has formed an essential ornament of the Bihu dance costume of girls. References to traditional Assamese ornaments date back to the time of Mahabharata at least. During the seventh century, Bhaskarvarma, the King of Barman dynasty of Kamrupa or ancient assam, had sent a handsome quantity of Assamese ornaments along with other valuable gifts to king Harsavardhana, the great Indian emperor. Bhaskarvarma inherited some of these ornaments from his predecessor Bhagadatta,…

    Ever since humanity has been able to see stars there have been a dream to visit one, but it wasn’t until 1957, that mankind took the first big step to accomplish that dream. In 1957, Soviet sent their Sputnik 1 in to orbit around earth, and we entered the space age. NASA, the national Aeronautics and Space Administration were founded in 1958, when the Americans realized they were facing a space race of huge proportions. From the beginning NASA held only four laboratories with approximately 8000 employees, who previously worked for the former authority, NACA. Since that, NASA has grown to be one of the biggest employers in the public sector. In 1969, after big accomplishments from both U.S and USSR, the American astronaut, Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon. After that the U.S sent up five more manned crews to the moon, the last one in 1972. Since then, NASA has been a tremendous source of national pride.…

    Niemöller would give the advice to speak up and speak out for what you believe in or to help someone because later on there might be someone left to speak out for you. The speaker would most likely not agree with that perspective, from the first passage it seems to me the speaker is more of a silent learner. But something could happen to him like with Niemöller where he didn't speak up and then there was no one left to speak up for him. Not being silent could help not only you but a lot of people later on. Niemöller learned that if he would have spoke up there could have possibly been someone left to speak up for him. The Speaker should have spoke up because he could have saved a lot of people like the mother being misused by her children and being neglected. The speaker could have spoke up and possibly saved that mother or made her life easier to deal with. To watch cruel things happen and not speak up will come to haunt you in you end. There could be additional consequence to speaking up where your opinion was not necessarily wanted but it could also help.…

    Growing up reading fairy tales all our lives, there was always a protagonist, and an antagonist. The moral of these fairy tales were all the same. It was the war between the good and the evil. After reading Anne Sexton poem’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, which was one of the well-known Disney fairy tales, the story seemed to be a lot different than the original theme. Anne Sexton’s poem “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was synchronized in such a manner; it brought different thoughts in the mind of the reader. The reader began to think, how it would be like, if Snow White was the witch? How it would be like, if Snow White is not as innocent as she portrayed herself? Anne Sexton’s poem “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs considered exactly opposite of the original story, which is that the queen is the innocent one and Snow White was the witch blessed with beauty.…
