بْلَادْ الشَام هي أَرْبَعَة دُوَلْ, سوريا و الأُرْدُن و فِلِسْطِين ولبنان.
مِن نَاحِية المَسَاحَة سوريا أَكْبَر شِي وبَعْدَين الأُرْدُن وبَعِدْهَا فْلِسْطِينْ وأَصْغَر شِي لِبْنَان.
الأُرْدُن بِالجَنُوب وفِيهَا البَحْر المَيِّت, أَغْلَب سُكَّانْهَا مِن فِلِسْطِين وأَهَلْهَا إِسِمْهُم النَشَامَى.
لِبْنَان بِالغَرْب و جُزْء كْبِير مْنَهَا سَاحِل, وكمان فِيهَا جْبَال وطَبِيعِتْهَا كتير حِلْوِة.
فِلْسِطِين كَمَان بِالغَرْب وأَغْلَب مُدُنْهَا عالسَاحِل. فِيهَا أول القِبْلِتِين (المِسْجِد الأَقْصَى).
سُورْيَا بِالشَمَال وجُزْء صْغِير مِنْهَا عالسَاحِل بس كَمَان بِمِر خِلَالْهَا نَهْر الفُرَات ودِجْلَة. طَبَعًا عَاصْمِتْهَا دِمَشْق أَقْدَم عَاصْمِة بِالتَارِيخ.
على كُلٍّ, بْلَاد الشَام كَانِت أَحْلَى لَمَّا كَانِت بَلَد وَاحِد.

I just came up with one thought while watching this movie. 
“This is why we learn history!”
Not only does this movie describe Korean history very well, but it also introduces both positions unbiased.
Especially, I love watching the debate between the two main characters. 
What would you choose? 
It is a movie where you can learn the history and wisdom of lives!

이 영화를 보면서 제가 느낀 점은 딱 하나였어요. 
“이래서 우리가 역사를 배워야 하는구나!”
한국 역사를 아주 잘 묘사하면서도 두 입장을 치우침 없이 공평하게 소개한 명작입니다. 
특히, 두 배우의 토론이 아주 멋진데요.
당신이라면 어느 쪽을 선택할건가요?
역사를 배우고, 인생의 지혜를 배울 수 있는 영화!

Today we're talking about a phrase that we can use to discuss hobbies, interests, or background, that we share with our colleagues. This phrase is to have things "in common". We also discuss a common mistake that international English speakers make when using this word. I hope you find it useful!

If you're trying to improve the way that you communicate in English at work then feel free to book some of my time, it would be great to meet you. See you soon!
