In this first podcast, I look at the 5 different elements that make up the English language- reading, listening, grammar, vocabulary and speaking. Are they all as important as each other? What do you think?

14_Selbstfahrende Autos

(A)  Ob es uns gefällt oder nicht: Selbstfahrende Autos werden kommen. Für die meisten Menschen ist es eine EIGENARTIGE Vorstellung, in so einem Auto zu sitzen. Man hat das Gefühl des Kontrollverlusts und das ist den wenigsten Leuten angenehm. Dabei sagt eine STUDIE, es könnten 90% der tödlichen Unfälle vermieden werden, wenn keine Menschen am Steuer säßen. 
(B)  Was aber soll man in einem computergesteuerten Auto tun? Nun ja, man könnte sich entspannen, man könnte in Ruhe lesen, man könnte PLAUDERN, man könnte sogar am Laptop arbeiten. Bei einem hohen Anteil von selbstfahrenden Autos wäre auch der Verkehr besser zu kontrollieren und damit würden die LEIDIGEN Staus der Vergangenheit angehören. 
(C)  „Ja, aber was ist, wenn die Technik ausfällt?“, fragen die Kritiker. Und immer wieder kommt die Frage mit dem Kindergarten-Ausflug und dem Spaziergang der Bewohner eines Seniorenheims: Gegen wen sollte sich ein selbstfahrendes Auto entscheiden, wenn eine Kollision unvermeidlich ist? Aber so weit sind wir noch lange nicht. Und man könnte alle Kritiker darauf hinweisen, dass Flugzeuge schon längst autonom fliegen.

آیا تا به حال پلی ساخته‌ایم؟
در زمان‌های دور دو برادر در کنار هم بر سر زمینی که از پدرشان به ارث برده بودند کار می‌کردند و در نزدیک هم خانه‌هایی برای خودشان ساخته بودند و به خوبی روزگار می‌گذراندند. برحسب اتفاق روزی بر سر مسئله‌ای با هم به اختلاف رسیدند. برادر کوچکتر بین زمین‌ها و خانه‌هایشان کانال بزرگی حفر کرد و داخل آن آب انداخت تا هیچ گونه ارتباطی با هم نداشته باشند.
برادر بزرگتر هم ناراحت شد و از نجاری خواست تا با نصب پرچین‌های بلند کاری کند تا برادرش را نبیند و خودش عازم شهر شد. هنگام عصر که برگشت با تعجب دید که نجار بجای ساخت دیوار چوبی یک پل بزرگ ساخته است.
برادر کوچکتر که از صبح شاهد این صحنه بود پیش خود اندیشید حتماً برادرش برای آشتی دستور ساخت پل را داده است و بی‌صبرانه منتظر بازگشت او بود.
رفت و برادر بزرگ را در آغوش گرفت و از او معذرت‌خواهی کرد. دو برادر از نجار خواستند چند روزی مهمان آنها باشد. اما او گفت: پل‌های زیادی هستند که او باید بسازد و رفت.

Have we ever built a bridge?
In the distant times, two brothers worked side by side on the land they inherited from their father and built houses for themselves nearby and had a good time. As it happened, one day they had a disagreement over an issue. The younger brother dug a big canal between their lands and houses and poured water into it so that they would have no connection with each other.
The older brother was also upset and asked a carpenter to install tall hedges so that he could not see his brother and left to the city himself. When he returned in the evening, he was surprised to see that the carpenter had built a big bridge instead of a wooden wall. The younger brother, who witnessed this scene from the morning, thought to himself that his brother must have ordered the construction of the bridge for reconciliation and was impatiently waiting for his return.
He went and hugged his big brother and apologized to him. Two brothers asked the carpenter to be their guest for a few days. But he said: There are many bridges that he has to build and left.

Short story: Two brothers داستان کوتاه : دو برادر   

We live in a world of rules. We see them everywhere when we travel by plane. No liquids! Wait here! Turn off your phones!

But what about those unspoken rules — the ones that aren't written down and no one is exactly sure about.

A travel expert from the US has been explaining her unspoken rules for the airplane journey.

TV host Samantha Brown shared her rules with CNN, including one that makes the middle seat feel a little more comfortable.

According to Brown, if you find yourself in one of the middle seats on a plane, you should get both of the armrests to yourself.

Sitting in the middle isn't always very popular and so Brown says these passengers should get "anything they want."

That means even if the people on the outside begin using those armrests, the person in the middle has the right to "slowly push them off!"

Brown says she likes the aisle seat best because she feels she has more space.

She added that people sitting by the window should have control of the window blind — whether it's up or down. And the others don't have the right to decide!

One thing that can make some passengers angry is people in front putting their seats back.

Brown has a rule for this — if the journey takes less than three hours, she doesn't put her seat back, but she does if it's a longer trip.
