Stomachache

I was sick two month ago, I ate in a bad restaurant in Calgary, and because of that I got a stomach. When I feel sick, I usually take medicine and vitamins  or natural herbs , and I take rest in my bed. Also, I drink vegetable soup. After that, if I don't  feel  comfortable, I go to the hospital and see a doctor .

My country has a very good hospital, but my mother's  family prefers to eat natural herbs such as anise, caraway, cinnamon, clove, cumin and dill. These are perfect to prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria.


I advise everyone to have in (her/his) home some pain relievers, cold tablets, cough syrup, ointment and a first aid kit.

Notting Hill

Notting Hill, romantic comedy story. I enjoyed watching this movie for many reasons, first: the love between Anna and William, how could they keep them love, and when Max helped his wife, because she was in a wheelchair. Second, the good friendship when William's friends help him to not lost Anna. 
Third, I like the beginning of the movie when Anna and William met each other and the end of it when they to got married.
My favorite actor in this movie is William, because he is:
Loyal : he didn't love another woman when Anna left him alone. He didn't change his mind
I didn't like two things in this movie:
Anna didn't  told William that , she had a boyfriend.  # When
# When Anna got angry with William and blamed him when the  photographers came to William's home.

This story remembered me of my friend she was married famous man in Saudi Arabia and her live changed for the best.

Children's stories

Reading is a very good hobby, it  helps children, because a child spends time looking at good writing and proper spelling and grammar.
 When I was a child, I liked to read to books about princesses , such us Cinderella, Sally and  lady. All these story about pretty girls lived in bad life then their lives changed to the best.

When I was in elementary school, I loved hear stories than read it.
These story learned me a lot of things :
To be thank full and appreciate the life .
To be nice to people.
To have a good manner.
To be good person.
I like to read it with my sisters, because every week my father brought us new books and stories. We talked about the story and the characters.

Those  were the special and wonderful days for me.

Transportation

There are many kind for transportation to travel, such as air plane ,train, car and ship. In fact, I prefer traveling by air plane and car.
First of all, travelling along distance, I think we can't travel along distance without air plane. For example, when I want to travel from Asia to Canada I need to travel with airplane, because it is speed of access and comfortable.
I like the direct travelling because the transit travelling is time wasting and  exhausted.

Second, travelling a short distance, I like to travel by car because it is better than travel by another transportation.
Travel by cars are convenient and available, I feel a sense of beauty in a car when I listened to my favorite music and see the nature and building around me, on the other hand, somebody are afraid of car accidents .
In travelling by car there is some privacy for me because in train and bus sometime there is drunk people which is frightening.

Seasons

* What is the cause of the seasons ?
The earth roundness around the sun .
There are four season in the year( Spring , Summer , Fall , Winter )
Each one of the seasons have special qualities.
Firest of all , Spring
In spring everything is coming back to life again. This is my favorite time in the year, because it has very nice weather , new flowers with many colors and fresh smells. I enjoy when birds sing in the early spring. In spring I go with my family to visit some places in my country such as zoo and farms. I believe spring is nice season.


Secondly, Summer
In my country the weather in the summer is very hot but in Calgary it's warm. We can go to the lake, parke and peach. Summer has many activities such as traveling, hiking and swimming.

Third, Fall
The weather in fall is variable such as fog, frost and early snow storms. I like when trees turn in different colour to yellow, orange and red. In fall season Thanksgiving is a long weekend to celebrate with family.


Finally, Winter
It's the coldest season in the year. Now the winter started in Calgary. Before I come to Canada my dream was to live in a coldtown, but I changed my mind . I don't like the winter because, it many causes flu, the winter clothes is very heavy and I can't go shopping, park, lake and beach.


In winter I will sit in my home and drink coffee, tea, hot chocolate.

CRIME

A crime is an action that breaks the law. There are two kinds of crimes. The major crimes are very serious such as killing, theft and rape. The small crimes are less serious than major crimes; such as vandalism, shoplifiting and speeding.
Now, there are crimes on the internet . For example, credite card fraud, theft of information and indintity theft.


I think Calgary is asafe city.There are a lot of a very safe parts in Calgary and I see the police everywhere in Calgary to protect all people. On the other hand,  last week I saw two men fihting,so I was scared about that.

 My hometown is safer than Calgary, because there are many strong laws in my country that can protect me and my family.


When I want to protect myself :
# I live in asafe part of town.
# I never carry alot of money when I leave my house.
# I don't go out alone at night.
# I lock my doors.
# I train myself for self-defence.




I hope stop crimes in the world

My favorite day is Saudi Arabian National Day
The National Day of Saudi Arabia is on September 23 . It presents the unification of Saudi Arabia in 1932 as a kingdom. This day is very important  for all people in my country because it reminds us about King Abdul Aziz who was unified the kingdom.
In this day, we tell our children about the past of Saudi Arabia and celebrate for this day. Also, All Saudi people wear green clothes because the Saudi flag is green.

The streets are mobbed with young people to celebrate. In addition, some families celebrate at home, and some have picnics or set off fireworks in the parks


Regarding to food, the family eats
 traditional food. In my family, we like to eat arabic sweets such as baqlawa, basbosa and konafa.


  

 I hope you enjoy my favorite day.
