Tunisia

As I wrote yesterday, vacations can help people to clear their mind from their job or school. The most people in the world like to travel to coastal cities in the summer time. They like to have rest in a good place with a lot of fun and go to the good places in that country. I went to many countries in the Middle East and outside of the Middle East. All of them were beautiful and cool and each country has its own facilities. But, I like Tunisia the most not because it is my country, but because it has all the abilities to be a great country for tourists. First, Tunisia is a coastal country, so it has a lot of beautiful beaches and people can swim in a clean sea and have a lot of activities on the beach. Second, in Tunisia you can find any kind of food that you like to eat. Tunisia has almost every kind of international restaurants, where people can choose any kind of food they like to eat. Next, when I go to Tunisia, I feel that I’m in an international country. This is because many people from many countries in the world go to Tunisia, especially in the summertime. Finally, Tunisia has become a party at night. All people go to many different clubs and parties with many songs in different languages. The beautiful thing is that people spend all night having fun and meeting other people as I do. Tunisia is a beautiful country to have a good vacation. You can have fun and spend all the day with whatever you like to do.

vacation

Do you know vacation has become for some people as the wading is for an old man? Actually, I got this question from my uncle when I had my vacation in Tunisia. For me, the vacation is most beautiful gift I can get from this life, because I can travel and visit my family in three different countries or travel to a new country that I have ever seen during my vacation. First, I like to travel to a coastal city or country the most because it has many activities as swimming with a good weather in the morning or evening, and going to eat or to some nightclub at night. We can meet a lot of people from different countries and have fun with them, like what is happening to me every vacation. On the other hand, my worst time is when I stay at home during the vacation. But, sometimes I go to my friends who are staying home too to play some games or talk about some interesting subject. So we can have a little fun with ourselves. Finally, vacation is the most important thing for some people, but you are unlucky because you are staying at home; just go to your friends to have a small vacation with them.

A lonely lonely lonely

I think that you are (Anna) doing very good job when you stay alone, because you can clear your mind from your hard day or whatever stress you have. Actually, for me, I like to stay with my friends the most of the time because I really hate to feel lonely or to stay lonely. I think now you (Anna) think that I’m crazy. But, I really sometimes feel that I need to stay a lone in my bed epically when I have problem with my father or mother about something. However, I think that people who stay alone for long time or most of their time are strange. We can see from any community that most of the people like to be together. So, why are people who spend most of the time by themselves not considered as strange? “With my respect” but just I need an answer. In my culture, people are staying together most of the time, and they always tease the people who like to stay alone and I that is happening in the U.S. too. On the other hand, Sometimes people need to stay with themselves to solve their problems by themselves or remember the past by listening music. I prefer to stay alone outdoorsy like in front of some river or lake because the sound of the water can help me to relax and clear m mind. Finally, to stay alone is good thing, but if you stay too much it is going to affect your mind. Because of we need some people around us to talk with them and to learn new news about this life.

The Election

When I was in back home in 2000 and 2004, I was watching the election of the U.S. and I thought that the election of the U.S. is the same as in the Middle Eastern countries. But, when I came here and watched and understood the American election, I realized how this country is organized and how people in this country have freedom to make their choice. First, there are many differences between Middle Eastern country’s system and the American’s system. In the U.S., the election takes a long time. The first thing is that the Democrats have their election between some people who are able to be president in their group, and Republicans have the same thing. Second, after people vote for the person who they want to be president from their group of the Democrats or the Republicans, they start to vote for their person who is from their party to be the president. Differently, in my country the election takes a shorter time then the election in America. I think that we have an unfair election in my country. We do not have two groups which can have competition between themselves. We have different people from different groups who do advertisements about what they will do in the future to make people vote for them. Finally, the man who wins is the same president with a much higher percentage than the other candidates. I like the election in the U.S., because it is more honest than the election in the other countries.

Language

For me, I think languages are the most beautiful thing in life. The world has a lot of countries and every country has its own language. It is impossible to speak all of these languages. But, as this world has important countries that people have jobs in or travel to, there are some languages that are more important than others. First, I would like to give two paces of advices, one to the parents and the other one to the children or students. I would tell the parents to try to make their children learn the languages when they become young by putting them in the international school to make them get the accent of the language speak it very easily. The second piece of advice which is for the children, is to study hard and I know that you not going to like that in the school, but you are going to appreciate your parents for what they did that is the children are going to see how they are different from other people when they grow up. Finally, the best ways to make children learn a language is to put them in school or make them read a book or watch T.V.

My best way to Travel

As we know, there are more than five percent of people in the world who travel from some place to another one. First, for me since I was child, I have traveled by many ways like plane, car, and train. The way that I like most is the plane for many reasons. Next, I like to travel by plane because it is very fast. We can travel between the countries in a couple of hours, while any other transportation take hours more than the plane. For example, the plane takes from New York to Chicago 2:30 hours, while the car takes 14 hours. Second, people can take a rest and be comfortable in the in the plane. When people travel, they can sleep as much as they want or go to the bathroom anytime. In the plane, we can have food at anytime depending on flight time. Finally, planes now are the most comfortable way for people travel.

Afraid Of the Future


Believe or don’t believe, I ask myself everyday if I can do my dream in the future or not. And can you believe that I get scary about what will happen in close and long future even I don’t like that. My dream is to be one of the biggest CEO in my country or in the world. Actually, I think that I’m lucky because we going to talk about this subject today. First, when I was young, I was watching the people who have money and who spend the money from their bag, even if this person is my mother or father. After that, I started collect the money from my father or my mother and put it in the moneybox. In that time, I started love money more and more every time. So, I stated do something very bad which is stilling the money from everybody. For example, my mother, brothers, and uncles. But I didn’t steal from my father because I was scary from him. But finally, my father found me stealing from my mother and he punished me and after that I have never steal something in my life. Next, after I grow up, I start do my own business as step by step until I went to Jordan and started my real own business. My father was sending to me money for my house rent and my school fees, so I saved a little money in my account until I heard from my friend that there were some company wanted to open and they want from people to put the money as stocks in their company. Actually, I was scared at that time about that there was plausibility to lose my money at that time. But I ventured at that time and put all the money that I saved as stock in the company. Finally, I had very good profit after one month from my stocks. And now, I will start my own business in the U.S. after one week and it is much dangerous and hard then the stocks. So, I still afraid of the future and what will happen there.

Soccer

Soccer is the most popular game in the world. We can watch it, play it, and even play it with play station every time and anywhere. The best thing in soccer is that this game doesn’t know rich or poor, friend or enemy, and son or father. People all play and have fun together as friends. First, soccer is my best game ever. I play this game every time I have free time. I am a good goalkeeper, especially when I have an important game. Second, the difference between soccer in the U.S. and my hometown is that people are don’t have good knowledge about soccer. So, we can’t find a lot American players to play with us. But, there are many international friends who can play with us. The two big differences are that in my hometown we don’t have a lot of grass in the ground but here, most fields have grass. The second big difference is that in my hometown, people speak the same language about soccer, so my team can understand each other and can negotiate with the referee. For Example, foul, corner, plenty, or he kicked me. But that is easy for me now, because here I learned many words with the time. Finally, soccer is the best game for me. I play it, watch it, read news, and the best gamer, in it.

Sharks are Endanger

In Morris’s (2008) article, “Shark Fever Hits Hastings Beach,” he claims that sharks are endangered and we should help them. First, he said that some organizations are teaching people to make them understand that sharks are going to extinction if they do not stop fishing them, and make them lovers of sharks instead of haters. For example, youthful people are having fishing just for having good time with their friends. Second, the author states that in the last few years, the number of the sharks has decreased very much and some of them are almost dead or there are low numbers of them. For example, in the last years, the number of the sharks had decreased by about 80%. Next, the author said that the organization defending the sharks had the idea of having arguments by funny way to make and some games to make people understand and change their mind about killing the sharks. Because, more sharks are going to die and so are other related animals. Finally, the author talked about someone of the organization who said that the situation is good now and the number of the sharks are increasing, now because people are more understanding about what has happened with sharks. But there are many people who do not understand.

It is apparent that the author’s idea is right in this article. He is afraid that the sharks are going to extinction. He wants people to know that the ocean will be in danger if the sharks die. The author seems happy that some of the organizations try very hard to make people understand. The author said that some people are understand but the problem is that many people still killing the sharks and that is very bad. The author’s idea of protecting the sharks should be supported by reserves pools, marine police, and reproduction.

There are many random fishers who do not understand that there are some rare sharks. So, what we can do is to open reserve pools to keep them away from random fishers who want to kill them. By reserve pools, we can make sharks increase (then before) by providing good weather, food, and a clean place. For example, shrimps were almost to extinctions, but many companies and organizations put them in reserves pools, and they have a good population now. The reserves pools have some advantage in that they can protect the sharks from pollution and make them increase in good weather. Sometimes the killers can get them by their hooks but if they do not want the fish they throw it away and that may cause injury to the fish and sometimes it makes the fish die. The reserve pools are useful and have a lot of advantages, so environment organizations.

Next, illegal fishing and fishers are going everywhere, and sometimes nobody stops them when they have random fishing. If we need to stop them, we need marine police from different countries and we should follow some organization which can control them. For example, we need our police to be like the U.N. police, so they are from different countries but the U.N. controls them. And, the marine police have a lot of advantages in the ocean’s borders. They can stop any attempt of the fishers to steal the sharks or kill them. They can stop any illegal business between the fishers in the ocean. Finally, they can stop them from getting into the reserve pools. The marine police have a lot of advantages, but we need to have an organization for them.

Finally, it is true that the sharks are increasing, but the number of other kinds of sharks is decreasing. The scientists have discovered ways to increase reproduction of the organisms that make people increase in a very fast and easy way. The doctors should reproduce the sharks and put them in the reserve pools until they get big enough to put them in the ocean. The doctors can change the genetics so that thing can be familiar with the pollution and the new changing weather of the global warming.

In conclusion, sharks are in dangerous because of the stealers and random fishers. The author said that people should not fish in random ways because they make the number of the sharks is low. We can protect sharks in three important ways. We can afford to save a place for them to live in and increase their number. Second, we can put people in the sea to watch the thieves and catch them. Third, the doctors should use science to make the sharks increase in their number and save them.

Different Holidays

In our country, people are two types. The first is the people who follow the religion and the culture. And the second type is the people who don’t follow the religion and the culture very well (not religious). The different between those type is that people who follow the religion and the culture have just two holidays every year. But, the people who don’t follow the religion and the culture also have two holidays every year but they predict new holidays and celebrate with other religions holidays. In both types, people don’t believe that they can deal with death people, they think about people who believe about this thinks are crazy “with our respect”. In my family, we are believe that there are just two holidays all the year. The first one is the called Eid Al-Fetr which we celebrate after Ramadan, and the second one called Eid Al-Adha which we celebrate after Al-Haje. But, sometimes I celebrate with my friends who have different religion and I like that. Next, dead people in our culture just have our respect and we call god t give them the mercy, but never have any kind of celebration for them. Finally, we have our celebration and people have their celebration. I respect my culture and other cultures, and I like to join my friend’s celebrations.
