Des Moines, Iowa — A man who immigrated from Kenya to the United States found prosperity beyond his expectations on the day he became a U.S. citizen.

Shortly after Moses Bittok took the oath of citizenship on Friday, he discovered he had a $1.89-million winning ticket from the Iowa Lottery's Hot Lotto game.

“It's almost like you adopted a country and then they netted you $1.8-million,” Mr. Bittok said as he cashed in his ticket on Monday. “It doesn't happen anywhere – I guess only in America.”

Mr. Bittok said he took the citizenship oath at the federal building in Des Moines on Friday, then went shopping with his family. They stopped at a gas station to check his lottery ticket from the Sept. 21 drawing.

“For some reason, I'm calm,” he said. His wife, Leonida, screamed.

Mr. Bittok, 40, an officer at the Iowa Correctional Institute for Women in Mitchellville, said he doesn't know exactly what he will do with his winnings, but a college fund for the couple's four-year-old daughter, Mindy, is top priority.

Én továbbra is az angoltanár mellett maradnék, mert az személyesebb csak az a baj, hogy az én tanárom inkább magyarul tanulna, és nem tudunk megegyezni, ki kit tanít ;-) (és főleg mire)

Ott csak te tanulhatsz. Persze vmilyen alap az kell, egy olyan újrakezdő legalább!!!

Agika, csak saccolom, hogy a sztorit magàt nem érted, merthogy az amolyan "meno stilus"-ban iródott, plusz zavarólag hatnak a kérdöjelek, amelyek minden bizonnyal gondolatjelek!
Ha igy van, ime adok egy kis segitséget, bàr a téma pontosan egy éves:



Des Moines, a 200ezer lakosú (500 ezer a külkerekkel!) vàroska, az ameriakai Iowa àllam fövàrosa. Moses Bittok úr ide vàndorolt be Kenyàból.

Azon a pénteki napon éppen az USA Allampolgàrsàgi Esküjét tette le, 16 év vàrakozàs utàn. Az ünnepi ceremóniàjàt követöen a kis csalàd beugrott egy benzinkúti trafikkba megnézni a lottó szàmokat. Es mit ad isten, övék a fönyeremény!! Majdnem kétmillió dolcsi!!

"Ez majdnem olyan, minthogy egy orszàgot örökbe fogadsz (inkàbb forditva, persze, az orszàg fogad be!), és akkor az behàlóz téged 1,89 millióval. Ez nem akàrhol, inkàbb csak Amerikàban történhet meg, gondolom." - mondta Bittok a sajtónak.

A felesége, Leonida, sikitott, de Bittok úr valami okàn teljesen nyugodtan fogadta a nagy eseményt.

Moses Bittok, aki 40 eves, egy javitointézet alkalmazottjaként elmondta a sajtónak, hogy még nem tudja mit is csinàl a pénzével, de elsödleges helyen a négy éves kislànyuk, Mindi tanittatàsa àll.


Ez lenne hàt a "Happy Day" sztórija. Nem a fenti "meno" betüszerinti forditàsa, inkàbb még picit informativabb azok szàmàra akik nehezen értették az esetet, iràst.

O, I thank you for this wonderful little song. It made my evening happy..:11:

Dear Oma , I'm glad -do you like this sing. I have seen your photo -are you passanger or a sealer is in your family? My husband have been sealer ( steersman ) for 8 years.If you don't mind I write for you in English -but I can not speak well.I have been learning in intensív course for 8 months.(It are finishing at Juny.)
Have a good time!

Dear Icsi,
You are so cute, meaning that your reply is indeed an example how this English board could be used for practicing the English language. Clever. You were brave enough to try it, and I’d be pleased to "talk" to you in this way. Although I myself have learned the language late, at an advanced age, and mostly by self-study plus couple of distance courses. At 50, I only knew to say Good morning or Good night, beside Hello. And then life threw me in deep water, so to say, but I could not let myself drowned.. I must tell you that sometimes when I have to send some homework to the Learning Center in Toronto, I have had at least ten different books around me. For me the most useful one proved to be Murphy’s "English Grammar in use" (A self-study reference and practice book for intermediate students/with answers at the end)

But now about your writing. First of all, congratulations for your ambitious learning, as well as for this little letter you wrote to me. I suppose, if you wrote openly you might like me making some little notes to some of your lines. In whole, everything was understandable.

So:
- “ I'm glad -do you like this sing.” This should be changed to; I’m glad you liked this song. (you can use past tense even if the sentence starts in present - vice versa never!), or simply: I’m glad you like this song. (in present), and here in present tense you can use as an accentuation thing the word “do” as you even tried it. So now the sentence will look like this.: I’m glad you do like this song.
- “It are finishing at Juny.” It will be finishing in June or July. (or: It is finishing…)
- “intensiv” = intensive (minor mistake)
- ...sailor (misspelled!)

Am I a passenger? Yes, I am only a passenger. Nobody in my family is a sailor. Actually, here in Canada I don’t really have family at all, any more. That picture was taken when my late husband and I were on a boat-tour on Muskoka Lake back in Ontario. On boats like that, sometimes or maybe all the times, they -the crew- make lots of favours for tourists. That’s how it happened that I was navigating that ship.
Presently I live on the other side of this beautiful “little” country, in British Columbia in Vancouver area. I moved here after my husband died and later I had an accident. I needed a change, I wanted to leave everything behind. But you cannot really escape, unfortunately.

Keep it up with your study and good luck!
Have a happy day.

Icsi, I am sorry!

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you have shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. . . and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting...

*

until your car or home is paid off
*

until you get a new car or home
*

until your kids leave the house
*

until you go back to school
*

until you loose ten pounds
*

until you gain ten pounds
*

until you finish school
*

until you get a divorce
*

until you get married
*

until you have kids
*

until you retire
*

until summer
*

until spring
*

until winter
*

until fall
*

until you die


There is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Indeed..

A Happy Clinton Story

Al Gore and the Clintons are flying on Air Force One.

Bill looks at Al, chuckles and says, "You know, I could throw a $10,000 bill out the window right now and make one person very happy."

Al shrugs his stiff shoulders and says, "Well, I could throw ten $1,000 bills out the window and make 10 people very happy".

Hillary tosses her perfectly sprayed hair and says, "Of course, then, I could throw one-hundred $100 bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy."

Chelsea rolls her eyes, looks at all of them and says, "I could throw all of you out the window and make the whole country happy".

Every moment of happiness counts, so have a happy day!

The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
