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.

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.

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. They think that it affects their cultures and thoughts negatively. Therefore, as can be seen above, the positives of traveling abroad are more effective than the negatives.

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.

Saudi Arabia

Last year I traveled with my family to my hometown Saudi Arabia by car. We spend 3 hours from our home to the borders of Saudi Arabia. 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.

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.
