Could we say He's a natural-born teacher?

You could say that yes, it basically means that you believe him to have a natural talent and capability at teaching.

[EDIT] Something I've just noticed, the day of the week Wednesday was being mispelled. Sorry Ali, hate to say it but that was you ^_^

Tnx Minnie.
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?

Ok! You asked for it. B) Here are some:

INCORRECT SENTENCES:

(By Ahmad)
1. I think you mean (carriage rider) by doroshke chi.

(By Saghar)
2. We cannot use "the" for (name) of (the city).

(By Shaya)
3. Some day you'll (appreciate Ali) for this specific rule.

(By Maryam)
4. Thanks for your (responds). (it was) a great help

5. I (better to) say we are going to make a collection of ...

CORRECTED SENTENCES:

1. I think you mean (coachman).
* A rider sits actually on the animal, whereas the driver has a special seat from which he drives animals that pull a vehicle.

2. We cannot use "the" before (names) of (cities).
* In English, we use the plural form of a countable noun without "the" when we want to talk about it "in general". Examples: I like [cats]. [Carrots] are orange. [Rabbits] eat [carrots].

3. Someday you'll (thank) Ali for this specific rule.
* You appreciate things, not people.

4. Thanks for your (responses). (They were) a great help
* The noun of "to respond" is "response".

5. 5. I ('d better) say we are going to make a collection of ...

Sorry, just to really throw a spanner in the works here!

You can appreciate a person, like for example you could say:
"One day, you'll appreciate Thomas!" As in, you'll respect him etc..

But as you've said, you normally appreciate objects and not human beings, just to let you know that you can do it ^_^

Yeah. Useful points. I think making this special part for correcting our mistakes was a brilliant idea. It actually makes you be more careful about what you write.

In general, I think we're all gonna learn alot through this forum. (me as one!)
Thanks to Prof. Alemi!!

I don't think that people accept the fact that life doesn't make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable.

Life is very, very complicated and so films should be allowed to be too.

We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experienced is a narrowing of the imagination.

INCORRECT:
(By Shaya)
1. I'm Genius

(By Saghar)
2. Why (do) some girls and boys afraid of (cockroach)?

CORRECT:
1. I'm [a] Genius
* A very common mistake. "Genius" is countable in this meaning.
Very great and rare natural ability or skill, especially in a particular area such as science or art (uncountable noun)
Or a person who has this (countable noun)
Examples:
-- (an) artistic/creative/musical genius
-- Einstein was a (mathematical) genius.
-- From the age of three, she showed signs of genius.
-- It was such a brilliant idea - a real stroke of genius.

2. Why [are] some girls and boys afraid of [cockroaches].
* "Afraid" is an adjective, not a main verb.
* "Cockroach" is a countable noun. So you have to use it in the plural form when you are talking about it "in general".

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but as far as I know, we don't have anything as own-maden. You'd better say: self-made.

No "en" after made. (of course you probably know that, but got distracted while writing, I know!) ;)
