The fisher man( rowda)

Once upon a time there was an interrelated family, who suffered form a difficult life in Abu Dhabi.

Life at that time was difficult and harsh.There was not any meaning of comfort. For example there was no developed education and no good transportation. However, Khalid's family lived and was used to this life. Khalid was responsible for his family. Every single day he went to work for a living. He was a fisher man. He worked near the Arabian Gulf. Although he was making a budget for his family, he was going to his work by foot!. It was very hard to him to go by foot but what could he do? He had to sacrifice for a living. In all this suffering he loved his job. He was a proffitional fisherman. Khalid used to do his job proudly. In 1972 oil was discovered in the Emirstes, specially in Abu Dhabi which become the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Life changed in different ways. Abu Dhabi gave all locals what they needed. As a matter of fact Khalid's family got a new big house and Khalid him self got a new job.

In current times, Abu Dhabi offers a dignified life. There is no suffering anymore.

Every single day I watched news with different languages to make sure I learned them well. So at the age of fifteen at grade 6 I decided my dream job.

In love with coffee❤️

Coffee is an essential part of my life. I believe that coffee is an important drink that refreshes my mind. I like to start my day sipping a creamy cup of cappuccino to concentrate on my studies. I agree that coffee has side effects, because it contains caffeine which causes addiction. Coffee can make a person feel less tired as it increases the energy level. Have you ever tried drinking a hot cup of coffee viewing the sea and watching the beautiful sun setting and the winds and breezes rushing through your hair? Well, the experience could not be explained rather tried. During winter, drinking a steaming cup of coffee returns the warm memories of home. Coffee is the most consumed beverage in the world. In my opinion, coffee is best served at Starbucks. Every person should drink at least two cups of coffee to help them overcome stress from work or studies.

Children

On those days, children's brains are open more than past. Because in those days every thing which child wants is easy to get. Children's families are not care from negative ways of what are going to happen if they give their children every thing. Children's families should put limit for the wishes of their children. They should give them useful things that could help them to be successful in their life. Children's families should teaching their children how to spend their free time in positive and useful way. For instance, the could teaching them " drawing on the canvas, swimming and doing exercise, playing football, ridding a horse, and reading books ". That way is going to help children to be successful people in the future. However, children's families are going to be happy when they seeing their children growing up in the right way. Also, the children will know how to manage their life in future.

Friends are one of the most important things in people's life. Meeting them, playing with them and talking to them about your problems can help you to be happy and feeling( feel ) comfortable. You can do a lot of things with your friends in your free time. Fore example, watching movies and shopping are the most interesting things that friends can do together. In addition, friends can study together and help each other in their homework. Having a good friends can be a hard thing these days because people became your friend just for interest, then they leave you alone. So, people have to choose their friends carefully. Also, if they choose a good friends, they will be able to trust them. Friends are very beautiful thing in my life. They do several things to make me feel happy and smile. Also, they help me when I need help and they are always understand me.

Today, it is important to speak English. English is spoken in most countries in the world. It is the most widely spoken language. everyone should learn English and it is important for education so many people learn to improve their language and to speak English easily. Many universities use English because most of the academic books are in English. Also, many students use the internet for their research they must use English because most articles are in English. Moreover, learning English is important for business. There are companies use English to make bargains and deals. A lot of big companies use English such us British and US. English is an international language. For example, if a German company wants to make a bargain with Japanese company they will use English. In addition, English is useful for travel and tourism to communicate with foreign people. When foreign people visit a place like hospital, hotels and airports they must use English because English language is common in the world. I hope to understand movies without reading subtitles.

Recycling waste - Ayesha

" Recycling waste "

Recycling waste is one of the most important ways to protect our environment. Nowadays, many countries are trying to avoid polluting the environment by recycling. Polluting is an effective issue that affects our health. Therefore, everyone should be aware about recycling and the positive effect of it. So, people should not throw everything away, they have to recycle some products and put some of them in the recycling-bins. For example, plastic, glass, papers and aluminum. These products can be recycled and turned to another products. However, some products can't be recycled, so people can use them in a different way instead of throwing them. For instance, some people do not throw their food waste, they keep them to feed their animals. As can be seen, If everyone tried to recycle their own waste, the pollution would be reduced sharply. In addition, people should stop throwing everything away and start recycling as much as they can.

Do you have a pet?(Fatima)

Having a pet is a big part of American culture. There are many types of pets, but most people avoid getting strange pets like snakes or tigers. However, many families enjoy having a dog or a cat in their home. Many children beg their parents to buy a dog or a cat for the family. Although some parents forbid their family to get a dog or cat, other families permit their children to buy a pet. Parents might resist buying a pet unless the children promise to take care of the pet every day. Many children want to own a pet, but usually they don’t want to be responsible. Some children get a pet, and then they complain about having so many new responsibilities because they depend on their parents to care of the pet. Pets can help children to be more responsible for their lives.

Traveling abroad - Ayesha Ahmed

Traveling Abroad

Traveling abroad is a good way to improve our knowledge. Indeed, some people like to travel abroad, whereas some of them do not. Those who like to travel abroad feel that traveling is an interesting thing. It can encourage the travelers to explore new places and to learn new things. Also, it helps them to learn about cultures, which will improve their knowledge. In addition, hanging out in a new country can help the travelers to have new experiences. These experiences improve people and make them stronger to face life difficulties. Furthermore, travelers will communicate with others and meet new people. This will improve the relationships between cultures and civilizations. On the other hand, some people are not interested in visiting new places.

video games - good for us? (Maha)❤️

There are many people who are playing video games in the world. In my opinion, I think playing video games are bad for us. I believe that video games will effect our life in badly way. For example, many people get health problems like eye disease such as nearsightedness and farsightedness. That means when people sit all the day front the screen and play that the rays became from the screen are harmful. Also, muscle problems and obesity is another reason to stay away from video games, but people when they play they don't move or do exercises. Moreover, they just focus on the game and they eat a lot. In addition, video games effect our behavior so, the children change their behavior and they become more violence when they play video games long time . Also, they try to act like champions that in video games like, superman. Moreover, they learn bad behavior like swearing and killing. For these reasons, I believe that video games should reduce.

Free Time- Reem Salem

Free time is the best time for people to do their hobbies due to they feel happy when they do their hobbies. In my free time I like to read several books whereas, I don't have a lot of books in my library. In addition, I like to write since I was 15 years old nevertheless, I don't write every day. However, by brother prefer playing football as much as playing video games. For instance, he divides his free time to play football with his friends or playing play station online with his friends around the world, so that will make him addicted to video games. On the other hand, my sister likes to do shopping in her free time, she feels happy when she goes to the mall. Moreover, she likes to dance a lot. Due to dancing and doing a lot of exercises she loses her weight. I think, all people like to do several things in free time, it makes them feel happy and comfortable.

Healthy lifestyle 👣

Nowadays, healthy lifestyle is one of the most popular concerns every one should take part in this current issue and work harder to make their life healthier. Children as a dependent group need to be aware of that matter with the help of the whole community , in particular , parents and schools.

First, parents as the main reference for their children , they can play more than one role. They might be parents for most of the time and an educator some of the times for example, the mother who spent hours in cooking food for her sons or daughter , can tell them why she had chosen this dish today ? Moreover, she can mention them the ingredients she used in cooking and how each component is important to their health.

Second, school it self is considered as the best place for sharing experiences and learning from each other. For instance, teacher might have a brilliant boy in his classroom , this boy can practice exercise daily and eat healthy food in a balanced diet. Therefore , the teacher shows him as a good example among his peers.

In conclusion children must be educated to be healthy and safe in life . I think that , it is not just the parents who should hold this responsibility but others in society are should be involving too, especially , schools .

Not one favorite color, but various. ( Aljaleela )

In every spot, we can enjoy seeing different colors. Some of them are light and some are dark. Furthermore, some colors are balanced. Those various colors comes from basic colors, such as red, green and blue. In addition, all of those colors are seen by our eyes because of the lights. As we know, most of people have their own favorite color. However, I love all of the rainbow's colors. The reason for that is because every color reflects few meanings. For example, white means peace and pureness. Moreover, black means the intensity against the enemies. Also, red means love and emotions. People who favor one color over the rest usually have more cloths of that color. In the past, I would say that I have a favorite color, but I noticed that I actually don't. One of the reasons that helped me to realize that is that I don't have clothes of the same color. All of what I have in my cabinet are various and different colors, some are light, while the others are dark.

On the other hand,we were excited because we will see our relatives in Makkah. Furthermore, we spend one day and a half to arrive to Makkah. It was difficult not only but also we were tired because of the long distance from the border to Makkah. When we arrived and see my grandmother, grandfather, aunts and uncles I forget all fatigue. We had a delicious dinner with them. After that we went to the grand mosque which is the largest mosque in the world to do Umrah. I felt comfortable and reassuring when I enter. After many hours we went back to home to sleep. moreover, every day we have visitors from our relatives, I don't remember some of them because I was child. However, they know me. We spend there one month. As well as, I hope to travel this year because I miss all of them.

Obesity in Children (wejdan)

Over the last decade, obesity in children increased in a worrying way. Obesity is a growing problem which has two negative effects,namely physical and psychological effects .

Fast foods,soda,technology are main reasons why childhood obesity is a growing problem.In addition , children have become inactive in recent years.For instance , they spend most of the time playing video games , laptops , or watching Tv instead of doing exercise .

The responsibility for this problem dose not only fall on the parents .In contrast ,Education are responsible too and essential to solve this problem.

London is a beautiful country with green gardens, classic homes,respectful people. To begin with, London's gardens bloom with colorful flowers that draw a smile on every person's face. In fact, the smell of the ripe apples as well as, the smell of the fresh oranges would make your mouth water. Furthermore, the rows of daily picked fruit continues down the endless street.

Do you know the most significant thing about London's wonderful parks? It is the beautiful sound of chirping birds and specifically, the river with white swans drifting on it. Nevertheless, the houses are very simple but beautiful at the same time. In addition, the color of the houses doesn't draw much attention. Since London has many parks and people that respect your culture, I think you should visit it to see the wonderful doves and the swans. You should also see in particular, the classical homes.

Life - reem sultan

Everybody has a story that changed his life, everybody has been through bad time. But that time pass. Friends fight, family goes in troubles. But everything can be fixed, surly not in the way it was before. People forget people because they want those people in their life. As an example, if a girl did something shame, her parents will panished her for a while but then, normally they will talk to her the way they used to because no matter what their daughter do, they want her to be a big part of their life. When friends fight, you lose a lot of friends, but at the end you find those few ones who's gonna stay with you. Keep those close to you, cause those people are your second family. Keep a good imprint about yourself with everyone, make people remmeber you in a good way.

In additional, travel is fine to talk with the hosts. You can tell them about your trips where you travel. Also, you can ask them about were they travel and which country they most liked. In conclusion, you should read about the country you will visit especially the good conversation topics.

The internet ( rawda Ibrahim)

In the early 1980s through the late 1990s the " digital moment" was just started and the world showed the rise of networks. As a students using the internet ,i found that the internet is heavily involved in developing different aspects such as education, communicating with people and business ...etc. personally i use the internet most of my time. It is a mean of educating and spending my free time in downloading movies and songs, chatting with friends and reading on line books.

The are many advantages of the internet. People can learn through the internet. They can do academic research and it is easier for people to find relevant books and read books they wouldn't find any other way such as those that are out of print. Yet, the internet is one of the good ways to make friends all over the world. I my self have a friends from different countries and i interact with them through my face book account. On the other hand the internet can be a double-edged sword. Downloading movies and songs illegally from the internet is one of the disadvantages. Moreover, some informations in the internet are based on lies and they are against the academic research. Some kids and teenagers use the internet to play video games but some of those games teach them violence.

The internet can be useful and harmful according to the users and how they use it.

Eida Ali (trip)

All family in the holiday prepare for a great trip, especially if the weather is cloudy and cold. However, they have many places to visit it for example: garden, mountain, desert and beach. I prefer the beach because I like the sea, boat and sunset on the beach but before we go should to prepare the equipment for a trip such as, carpet, chairs, umbrellas, food, drink and extra clothes. While we going to the beach, my father like to invite his friend family and he accept the invite, when we arrive the beach we organize our staff including barbecue tools, my father friend bring the ski dive to play with waves with his kids and his wife: they were a beautiful family and we have a lot of fun with them.

Finally, after we finished the barbecue with grill chicken we drink coca then we got back to car turned to the home with a lot of fun and we hope come back again.

The true friends (Sara)

I think having a friend in our life is something of great importance. We have to take time looking for the right person, and although it might be hard, it is something that we have to do. All of us need that one person who hold our hands in the hard times, a friend who help us holding our heads up, and more importantly, a friend who we can call a sister or a brother form another mother. A true friend cheers you up whenever you feel depressed, and leads you to the right path. A true friend manages to make you laugh without a reason, and stays with you in your difficult times without a reasons, who you can trust and fear no worries with, and who stays with you forever. Finally, a true friend is the one who tells you that everything is going to be alright.

Elevator (Fatima)

Elevator is a great invention. First, I will talk about elevator's history. Elish Otis invented the elevator in 1857, but the idea of the elevator came from the Ancient Egyptions. It was very simple, and it was working by the humen power. After that, Elish Otis tried many times to make a safe elevator. Finally, he achieved his dream, and he showed his elevator to the public in NewYork. People liked his elevator, and they built the first building with Elish's elevator was the Haughwout building. On the other hand, elevator helps us in variety ways nowadays. In fact, as you see, there are many elevators in our buildings such as hospitals, hotels and towers. Have you seen any building without elevator nowadays? Of course not. It's very useful for us in transfer patients, furniture and dairly to the high floors. So, elevator is Indispensable(indispensable), and they are trying to make it better and better.

Nowadays,we need money for the whole life like,clothes,food and health care.People need money to get a good education and a good health care because,if I have a good education and health care,I can get more money. The money gives us a luxury life.We can travel and reduce stress from our work.However,we can buy everything we want to have more luxury life such as,buy a big house,drive expensive car and wear brands. The money gives us more confidence and comfortable to solve our problem easily.There are many things related to money but that doesn't mean the money is important thing in whole life.There are things more essential than money namely,family,friends and health.Finally,money is useful thing but doesn't always give us the happiness.

Another thing that we can see in the jungle is the amazing animals such as the elephants, the tigers, the giraffes and the hippopotamus.

Shopping addiction ( rowda Ibrahim )

Shopping addiction is one of the serious problems that affect our society. It happens when people buy excessively, and it has finincial and emotional effects. So what is shopping addiction? What are the problems and how can we overcome this issue?

Shopaholism always starts with pleasurable experience but it turns into uncontrollable behavior.

Many people around the world are addict to that, and the number of compulsive shoppers is growing. The following situation from current studies and life experience will indicate some problems of shopaholism and how to over come this issue.

Shopping addiction causes several problems for the families and friends of compulsive shopper, spenders don't realize that they do something wrong. For example they always feel satisfied when they go to shop , they buy stuff they don't actually need, so they keep spending and spending without realizing how much that can affect their finincial life. The results are they drown in debts and if they don't payoff their debts they will be sent to prison. Also compulsive shoppers may lose their jobs and get broke from squandering money.

A second effect of shopping addiction is the emotional effect. Compulsive shoppers always have a desire to shop, which keeps them emotions high. Research has shown that many compulsive shoppers and spenders suffer from mood disorders and substance abuse . So they keep spending more money without feeling guilty in the beginning . This situation may cause interpersonal , occupational , family and marital problems in one's life, for example issue between hasbend and wife. This soon distroys the relationship or leads to divorce.

Although shopaholism is very serious , doctors and psychologists are developing new methods , and beginning to treat people who suffer from compulsive shopping. The first solution is medical treatment . The first step to break down this habit is to visit a doctor and get help from him or her. The doctor for sure will support a compulsive shopper to focuse on the reasons why they spend over money uncontrollably.

Another solution for this issue is taking a drug.the drug will affect a person's body for only a short period, so that is going to cause the problem again after the effect of the drug is done.

In conclusion , the following examples of shopaholism have indicated the problems and how to over come them. People can quit shopping addiction and have normal life like other people. The best way to achieve this is to visit the doctor ( 3 times a week) and get an appointment when they feel anxious about shopping.also drugs might help, but they are not affective as much as doctors believe.

As a student I found that shopping addiction can be a double - edged sword. Squandering and spending money could be useful for the country's economy, but actually it has a harmful side for humans.

Environment's pollution - Ayesha Ahmed

Environment's pollution

Polluting the environment is a bad habit that is caused by humans. There are many reasons of pollution for example, waste, factories and transportations. Unfortunately, some people throw their waste randomly and ignore country's rules. Also, some factories burn too much materials without thinking about the damage that they caused. However, to solve this problem people should recycle more and do not throw away the products that they can use again. Also, they can transport from place to other by using public transportations ( transportation ) instead of using their own cars. In addition, people shouldn't ignore the government's rules and throw their waste in garbage-bins only. Pollution will not damage the environment only, it will affect on people's heath also and it will spread diseases between them. So, people should do their best to protect their countries from pollution and keep the environment clean and pure. For more information, Masdar city in Abu Dhabi is a clean city, which depends on clean energy. They use this energy to protect the city from pollution.

Family and friends. (Reem S.)

We all born alone, we never chose our family. even though we don't chose them, but we love them, deeply. Without knowing the reason why. Maybe because they know the real you and they still love you. Or maybe because they love you for who you are. But the most important thing that they never stop loving you no matter what. They're the people you trust the most. You feel free while talking to them because you know you won't be judged. The second family, as known as, friends. Here it's your time to chose them, you may fail sometimes but at the end you find few friends who will stick around when everybody else leave. Who will make you smile when tears come accross your face. We all got that one or two friends who everybody knows about. Who your family really trust. Those people who will stick with you forever.

Aljaleela “Best weekend”.

Last week, one of my best friend visited me in my house. She came with two of her sisters. I didn't see her in the past couple of years. She brought sweets and pastries with her. It was really delicious we loved it so much. Moreover, we remembered all the things that we did when we were in the school, such us pranks we did on each other. One of our funny memories is when she and I were in grade 7. One day, we had a math exam and she was sitting behind me. She told me to not write my name in the paper and I did what she asked me to do without knowing the reason. After that, she suddenly tipped me and asked me if I finished the exam. After she knew I finished the exam, she stole my paper and put her paper in my table. I was really shocked because she didn't answer any of the questions. Then I answered all of the questions again. However, we enjoyed spending time together. Finally before she went to her home, she told me that I have to visit her next time and I will.
