Hello and welcome to Daily English. As it’s the weekend, we learn English through stories.
Today’s story is about a man in India who created something breathtaking over three decades—but he didn’t do it for fame or fortune. He did it from the bottom of his heart.
What Happened? In the 1970s, Jadav Payeng, a teenager from Assam, India, noticed something heartbreaking: deforestation and flooding were destroying the land where he lived. Animals were dying. The soil was dry/
He decided to do something—by himself. He began planting trees. One at a time. Day by day.
Over the next 30 years, Jadav turned a barren river island into a 1,360-acre forest—all on his own. He didn’t tell the media. He didn’t ask for money. He just kept going.
Today, that forest is home to elephants, tigers, and hundreds of bird species. When asked why he did it, he simply said he loved his land—and wanted to protect it. He did it from the bottom of his heart.
Our expression today is: “From the Bottom of One’s Heart”
To do or say something from the bottom of your heart means to do it sincerely, with deep emotion or care.
“I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness.”
“She apologized from the bottom of her heart, and you could tell she meant it.”
“He spent years writing that book from the bottom of his heart.”
Question for You:
Have you ever done something from the bottom of your heart, not for recognition, but just because you truly cared?
