Reading

hiiii everyy one

i have a question i am confused regarding the pronounciation of the words "HISTORICAL and HOTEL" ...i wanna ask that either the alphabet "H" is accented in theses words or not....nd the other question is that, do we treat these two words like vowels ??? i mean do we use them like an historical event and an Hotel ??? plzzz guide me regarding the pronounciation of all words which start with "H"

shaykas

Read the following sentences that create a lot of trouble for me:
"The first is both intangible and more accepted than the other.It is derived from the verb 'sufiya',"it was purified"."
What difference will create if I use 'acceptable' in stead of 'accepted' in first sentence. In last part of last sentence,'it was purified' is separated from its previous part by comma and " ". Why it has been separated?Is it (it was purified) indicating to 'sufiya'.

sufi

"The Sufi is thus the perfect initiate,the yogi of the Hindu tradition,the being who has succeeded in climbing back up the arc of divine manifestation and who "reached god"."
The third part of sentences contains 'the being........'. What does mean the 'being'?

"One thus distinguishes the 'sufi',the realized man,from the 'mutasawwif"the aspirant who still undergoes the tribulations of the path and who makes an effort through spiritual discipline to reach the state of Sufi."
I think the last part starts with 'from the mutasawif..........." is indicating to 'mutasawif'. Am I right?

THE HAPPY PRINCE

From the story THE HAPPY PRINCE?
Q-why do you think the lead heart of the statue broke ? Why did it not melt in the foundry ?

Q-the happy prince thinks that the suffering of the people in his city is more marvellous than any sight which the swallow has seen. Why do u think the prince thinks so ??
