Water Pollution

There are many environmental problems are affecting in the world such as deforestation, air pollution, water pollution, and climate high change. I think water pollution is a bid and dangerous problem.
What is water pollution?
 It's any chemical or physical change in the a quality of water.
What the cause for water pollution?
There are many reasons for it.
First of all, sewing and waste, when water often contains faces, urine, and laundry waste. It's a major problem in many areas, because people can't drink condition and clean water. Also, it can contaminate the environment and cause disease such as diarrhea, and many healthy problems. Secondly, oil pollution, when oceans are polluted by oil and some oil come from shipping travel. It's very localized problem in local marine wildlife such as fish, birds, and sea otters. Lastly, industry is a huge source of water pollution for people and the environment. Some industrial use freshwater to carry away waste from the plant and into rivers, lakes, and oceans. It can cause health problems such as lung cancer, intestinal cancer and liver cancer.
Water pollution are harmful to the health of humans and animals, so what can we do to keep our water clean and save ?
# don't throw litter into rivers, lakes, and oceans.
# Make good ads to give people advices about how can we use and save our water.
# Conserve water.

Children and Computers


Children and Computers
Nowadays computers are very important for people in the world. Computers are common in all places such as school, work, home, and we can use it at on our mobiles. I think we need to use computers every day to give work to someone, talk with our friends and family, or have fun.
In my opinion, I disagree with using computers in the classroom at school, for because of many reasons. Firstly, children use them absolutely every day in their homes and some of them have internet on cell phones or IPod, so, they don't need to use it at school. For me this is a big, who children spend all their time use computers. Secondly, it isn't healthy to spend many hours looking at screens and sitting on chairs. For example, many children around the world are wearing glasses and have much pain in their body, because in addition to computers , they are spending time watching TV or playing play station. Third of all, they will be secluded and just think about computers and can't be social people in the future.
However, reading and writing skills are important for children to be successful  people in their countries. I really like computer education, but disagree with the time spent with it. Maybe three hours a week is good for students .

Government and Charities

                     Charities are very important thing for all countries. I think governments should supported charities. For starters, governments have the state budget for their countries. For example, it should allocate a certain amount of money for charities every month. Next, governments know where the poor people live in their countries. In some countries poor people who need money live in specific cities. Thirdly, Some of poor people need many things more than money such as food, works, homes, and study at education. So, only governments can search about their and know what happens and why, and it can find  good solutions for all their problems.
      However, governments of poor countries can't help their people. They asks other countries to help and give their people what they need. Many government  love to give poor countries money, food. They also like to build hospitals and schools. Also, for countries has disaster, governments of other countries send their doctors, nurses, and medicines to help patients.
    On the other hand, there are some fake charities around the world, that take rich people money and it doesn't send it for poor people. Then, sometimes uses it to do bad thing, for example to buy drugs And distributed to Adolescents. Lastly, problems will come from poverty such as crime. For that I don't agree that general people should be in charities.
     Concluding, governments are the best  for charities. They will be able to include everyone in their country , because it will make government social programs.

Men and Women In Saudi Arabia

There are many differences between men and women in Saudi Arabia in many ways.

 To begin with, in love, Saudi women always like to say “I love you” and send love message for their husbands, but Saudi men explain their love with take care about their wives health, give any things and many gifts for their in a year. Next, in relationships, women communicate more effectively than men and they like to make solutions with their friends groups. For example, some women in my country like to meet each other every week especially to give each other solutions for their problems. On the other hand, when men meet each other, they don’t like to solve or speak about their problems. They usually watch footballs games or play their favorite sports outside. Thirdly, in speaking, men speak louder and with clear voice than women, but women speak with their emotion and more than men. For example, women speak 18 thousand worlds a day, while men speak just 9 thousand words a day. Lastly, women like to use their hands during the speech and when they write they like to describe everything. Men don’t do that, but when they get angry, they use their hands violently.
 In conclusion, I think men and women are different and don’t communicate in the same ways, but I believe that they can’t live without love each other.

My experience



When I got married last year, I had a lot of difficulties with my husband. I couldn't understand his manners, it was very hard for me to be approval with him. Firstly, in our honeymoon, I wanted to travel for Malaysia, but he wanted to visit some cities in Saudi Arabia. He thought it was a good idea to save our money for Canada, because we will travel to Canada after 5 months of our weeding. At that time he thought with his mind, but I thought with my passionate. Secondly, when I talk with him about an important thing for me, I got frustrated then I cry. So, he gives me some solutions , but I usually disagree with him. I think my husband and I have different mind. I get angry quickly but he doesn't and I want anything at the moment, but for him it's ok postpone it
 I believe that men and women use different language. For example, women speak and listen faster than men. However, men speak in aloud voice. Men want to resolve their problems quickly without studying the situation. Women want to talking about their feeling and like to be in a group decision. I think men and women over the years will get use to each other.

Educated People

I think a university degree is a very important to get a good job. Some people think that starting work after school is a good idea to earn enough money in the future.
Firstly, nowadays we need to study hard and take a good degree in a university when we want to have a good job with a good salary. For example, in my country some people have a very high salary such as doctors, architects, lawyers, and computer programmers. All of them study hard and after that get their jobs. On the other hand, some people have a very low salary such as sanitation workers, truck drivers, painters, butchers, and carpenters, because they start their jobs right after school. Secondly, educated people have long holidays with their families that is more than one month. But, uneducated people don't have enough days in a holiday to enjoy with their families. Thirdly, some of people who start their job without studying at university have a lot of money more than educated people, but it takes them a lot of time and effort to get it. For other people who studied, it takes less time and effort to raise money.
However, for the workplace the situation is different and a wide variation. Educated people work in clean, tidy, and comfortable places, but non-educated people worke in uncomfortable and unsafe places.
I believe that educated people have more  chances and better luck in their lives. When I have a child I hope to educate my son or daughter in the best university to be a successful person in their life.

Egypt

. Egypt’s location, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea from its northern tip and the Red Sea from its eastern side, with the river Nile splitting it down the middle, gives Egypt a striking and strategic position. You can say it is in the center of the world and is the cradle of civilization.
Egypt has been an important destination for people in the Middle East, Africa and Europe from ancient time. Tourism remains an important pillar of the Egyptian economy and has received wide support from the government
 Last year, I traveled to Egypt with my family. We took enough times to enjoy, because we spent two months . So we visited many cities in Egypt.
 In addition to my family my uncle and his family traveled with us.
 The Cairo was an amazing city, we take one month at it. First, we ate at some great old restaurants, the food was very delicious.
Secondly, We visited Pyramids and the Museum of Antiquities, so we took many pictures. After that, we went to Alexandria, the second beautiful city in Egypt. We loved this city, because visited the eight wonderful beaches at it. Also, we read a lot of good books at Ancient Library of Alexandria.
 The third city we visited  Aswan, a historic city and there were  many islands and old  museums. It was one of the best holidays in my life.

Death Train Game

When I was a child I loved to play at park, ball filed ,carnival, and a amusement park. The most interesting thing for me was the amusement park. Every week I always went to Amusement Waves in Jeddah with my family. I played all games, expect extreme games. I was afraid of Children Death Train Game. My oldest brother was  very mischievous, because one time when we went to it, he convinced me to ridded a death train with him.
He told me it's  very interesting, enjoyable and I wouldn't feel scared. After that, I rode with him and I was happy and excited. Then, the game began and the train moved quickly to the top, I shouted with my loudest voice. So, I felt that my heart will stop.
Also, I looked at him, I was surprised, because he was laughing.
Lastly, when the trains stopped, I got out of it and I cried .
On the other hand, I threw up and I got sick, and I didn't try it again in my childhood.
Last year when I got married I tried it with my husband.
It was scary but I liked it. I will try it again in the future.

contractors scam in Saudi Arabia


 There  are thousands of scammers are roaming  in my  country to gain a quick buck. Three years ago, my uncle was a victim of a scam  By a foreign contractor.

Describe the scam
My uncle wanted to build a big house, so he decided to deal  with the a professional contractor. After that he paid 20000$ to  the contractor. The contractor worked with my uncle for two months. Then he  disappeared because he traveled to his country. My uncle called and asked for him but he couldn't  find him . Also, he  told the  police and they tried to find him.

I do not like doing tricks on people, because it is immoral thing. Especially if it is fraud for the money. On the other hand, I like playing small tricks with my sisters and my friends just for fun . For example, a year ago my little sister collected her  money to buy a new  cell  phone. I took her money and I didn't  tell her for two days . My sister cried and I got sad for her. So I told her that I took her money just for kidding. Finally, she forgave me.

My father

My father is an amazing man that I have a admired for years. He motivated me to succeed when I was a child. I am proud of him for many reasons. For starters, I live in a big family with my parents, sisters, brothers, grandmother, and grandfather. My father worked alone for this family, because my mother is a housewife. Secondly, my grandfather was very sick, my oldest  uncle  traveled to study in England, and my youngest uncle traveled to study in USA. My father was responsible for his father.
In addition, my father taught me, my sisters, and my brothers. He courage me to continue my studies in Canada. On the other hand, I think my father is a phenomenal  man and I hope one day be as strong and positive as he is. In conclusion, I love my father so much, and I hope he lives happily and will be in a good health.

Evian Roller Babies

Description:
“Evian Roller Babies” is a funny commercial for a brand of water “Evian”. In the beginning, a beautiful child is turning on a cassette player with music and starts dancing. After that, many children join him. Then, all of them start dancing on roller skates in a park and playing many rap skills. The most amazing part in this ad is when the children were dancing in a stadium because the first child was playing difficult and wonderful movements. In conclusion, the children are dancing and running between many water bottles and laughing.
Why do I remember it?
I remember it because the water is very important for all living beings. All people can’t stay without drinking water. They should drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy.


Why do I like it?
I like it because the stars in this ad weren’t famous people, but they were children. Usually, people like watching cute children more than adults.

Why do I think this ad can convince the people to buy it?
I think this commercial can convince the people to buy Evian water because the company used a beautiful dance. Dancing is a wonderful thing, many people enjoy watching it. I believe that this ad is not real and professional people made it. My opinion is that it is a successful commercial. I’m sure that people will like it.

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
