Our haftseen Yesterday was the first day of new year, it is 1392 solar calendar, we celebrate this by having a table calls Haftseen ( seven words that start with S in Persian) every year, these things are special things, one of them is Sabze (green vegetable, brunet), Samano ( a special food which makes from wheat), Sib(apple), Sir (garlic), Somagh(ُSumac), Serke(Vinegar) and Seke(coins) also there are small red alive fish, flowers, mirror, and lots of sweets and fruits each of them is a symbol, I share you my Haftseen for this year festival the picture was taken yesterday.

Is it correct to say... each of them? either of them is informal or formal? All of them is cat or cats?

what am I doing these days? Our new year festival is near, It is at the beginning of spring. We start to clean our home and do shopping for the New Year festival called Norouz. This year I won't buy lots of things I may do some shopping after Norouz because prices will be better. these days we are busy with cleaning too.

Golestan palace A week ago I went to Bazar in Panzdahe Khordad in Tehran to do shopping, I have never known there is Golestan palace, it is one of historical places in Tehran for Ghajar period, there is lots of old things belonged to kings and their family, there is some gifts from other countries kings too like Tezar and Napelon and others. In palace, photography is forbidden but I took some from places where weren't forbidden. I put some here for you.

Tehran I live in Tehran, it is the capital of Iran, a big city which has over 13 million population. It besieged with mountains, both of these and some other reasons result heavy air pollution here, sometimes air pollution is too much that responsible organisations ask people to stay at their house and schools be closed. in situation like that I feel ill and poisoned and often get headache. my city is a beautiful city with lots of historical places,it has lots of places to see and have fun, but crowded and pollution made it one of the cities that isn't healthy to live in. this picture is a usual day of my city.

Christmas I always thought that Christmas is the new year festival which is celebrated at first of January, but at 24 of December I got some Merry Christmas messages, so I got curious about that and after some searching I found out in fact Christmas is in 24 Dec not at the first of Jun and it is a holiday for christians.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself I want to improve my English ability for same reasons as many people have that they looking for getting better opportunities of education and work by learning new languages, I also enjoy learning new languages and getting the ability of communicating with new people from other cultures. My native language is Persian (Farsi) and I can understand a little Turkish and French, I grew up in Iran (a middle eastern country) in a Muslim family but I am not a religious person. I enjoy listening musics and watching movies specially action and romance, I like gathering with my friends and having parties, I am also enthusiastic of mountain climbing.
