Difference between I used to do and I am used to doing

Used to do

We use 'used to' for something that happened regularly in the past but no longer happens.

You can use this structure only for the past, not for the present

• I used to smoke a packet a day but I stopped two years ago.
• Ben used to travel a lot in his job but now, since his promotion, he doesn't.
• I used to drive to work but now I take the bus.

We also use it for something that was true but  no longer is.

• There used to be a cinema in the town but now there isn't.
• She used to have really long hair but she's had it all cut off.
• I didn't use to like him but now I do.

 Be used to doing

We use 'be used to doing' to say that something is normal, not unusual.

I am used to (doing) something = it isn't strange or new for me:

• I'm used to living on my own. I've done it for quite a long time.
• Hans has lived in England for over a year so he is used to driving on the left now.
• They've always lived in hot countries so they aren't used to the cold weather here.

 get used to doing

We use 'get used to doing' to talk about the process of something becoming normal for us.

• I didn't understand the accent when I first moved here but I quickly got used to it.
• She has started working nights and is still getting used to sleeping during the day.
• I have always lived in the country but now I'm beginning to get used to living in the city.

An Arab Sheikh's son in Berlin

An Arab Sheikh's son goes to Germany to study.

A month later, he sends a letter to his dad saying:

"Berlin is wonderful, people are nice and I really like it here, but I'm a bit ashamed to arrive to school with my gold Mercedes when all my teachers travel by train."

Sometime later he gets a letter from his dad with a ten million dollar check saying: "Stop embarrassing us! go and get yourself a train too!"

پسر يك شيخ عرب براي تحصيل به آلمان رفت. يك ماه بعد نامه اي به اين مضمون براي پدرش فرستاد:

«برلين فوق‏العاده است، مردمش خوب هستند و من واقعا اينجا را دوست دارم، ولي يك مقدار احساس شرم مي‏كنم كه با مرسدس طلاييم به مدرسه بروم در حالي كه تمام دبيرانم با ترن جابجا مي‏شوند.»

مدتي بعد نامه‏اي به اين شرح همراه با يك چك يك ميليون دلاري از پدرش برايش رسيد:

«بيش از اين ما را خجالت نده، تو هم برو و براي خودت يك ترن بگير!»

داستان كوتاه نامه ای به خدا

The letter to God

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses.One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:

Dear God,
I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money i had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?

Sincerely, Edna

The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.
The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.
Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:

Dear God,
How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it must have been those bastards at the Post Office.

6 . Sleep Deprivation

Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..

7. Head covered while sleeping
