Choose friends

Mohammed Al Herz

Intermediate 1 R/W 

                          There are some people choose friends who are different from themselves, other there are some people choose friends who are similar to themselves. And there are advantages and disadvantages for each one. First, if you choose friends who are similar to you they will understand you quickly and know what you want, but if you choose friends who are different from yourself they will not. Second, when you choose friends who are different form yourself you will gain new experiences and these experiences may be it will be a good one or bad one. While if you choose friends who are similar to you. You will not get any new experiences and then you will still in limited experience even after several years until you chose another friends. Third, people are different from you would be able to criticize and introduce you to something new and different, but people are similar from you they would not. Forth, people are similar to you would be beneficial in which you can enjoy things together and share the same opinion, but with people who are different from yourself you cannot do this.  Finally, when  you choose friends who are similar to you. It will be easy to place to go outside because you and your friend have the same opinion. In the end although I think people choose friends who are different from me is better than choose friends who are similar to me because I believe people need to friends who are different from them to improve themselves, but as you know everyone has his or her opinion.

                       Learning my second language was harder than learning my native language for several reasons. There are some similarities between my native language, which is Arabic, and my second language, which is English, but there are many differences. The reasons that made me learn my native language easier than my second one is. First is the communication, I was surrounded by people who spoke my native language. Second is age, I was a child when I was learning my native language and studies explained that a person can learn in early age better than in lately age. The similarities between my native language and my second language is. Formula, they have the same formula, which is SVO . Also, they have some similar words like lemon, light, glass and many other words. The differences between my native language and my second language is. First, in Arabic language there are two formulas which are SVO and VSO, but in English language there is one formula, which is SVO . Second, English is written and read from left to right while Arabic is written and read from right to left. Third, the English language has 26 letters while the Arabic language has 28 letters. Finally, the Arabic sentence may not contain a verb. In the end although I have not mastered English yet as you know there is not any language is hard to learn if you have a determination you can learn any language.

My Favorite Room

                                There are a lot of interesting things in my room . You can find a lot of scientific books on the left  also you can find a big hard disk for my computer on the right . It is a new , and it has an annoying sound . Between my books and my hard disk there is my desktop which is my favorite thing in my room also I requested a new hard disk for my desk top because I need more space  to download more files , but the hard disk did not reach yet
  . Beside my books there is a big bed ,and it is old . There is a small office behind my hard disk and there are  many things on the top of my small office . For example , I have a small lodge it is a souvenir from Japan . It is old , wooden , dirty , and has a bad smell .  In the end, I think I have a good room 
because I can find everything I need in my room .

College Education

Mohammed Al Herz

Intermediate 1 R/W

 A college education is important for a lot of reasons, I will explain some of them . First, it is important to get a good job because companies looking for college students for example if you and your friend graduated from high school and your friend went to work in company but you continued your education in a college when you graduated from the college usually you will get a job better than his job. Scound it is a great way to be an educated person that shows your knowledge level . Also, the college is good way to meet new people on your life, where can be more valuable than the degree itself for example now I am studying at Arizona State University in the United States . Before I came to this university . I didn`t know anything about Chinese culture , but now I now a lot of things about Chinese culture because I have friends from china . Third receiving a university certificate makes graduates prepared for a professional career. University courses are made so graduates can easily connect to others to help them succeed in their career. Students attending universities usually specialize in one major but will take classes in other areas to get their certificate. For example, students have classes in art, foreign languages and science.  Another benefit to this type of education is that students may change their interests and majors, then get a better career. in the end  I think a college education is one of the most important things in this world .  

My Favorite Travel

                             My  favorite  travel  which was to Indonesia . I went to Indonesia with my father . First we went to Jakarta . Jakarta is a modern city which has a lot of skyscraper and we stayed in a five star hotel with tow big bedroom . Then we went to the Indonesia's mount , and we stayed there about ten days Ten days . Those were the best ten days in my life because the nature was amazing  with pure air it like was a dream. Also there were a lot of swamps but the temperature was very hot there so we couldn`t stay there more than ten days . After that we went to city called Jak Jakarta and , we stied there about one week , there is the biggest Buddhist temple . The temples was Built between 750 and 842 AD many proverbs are written on the walls of the temple . Each wall has one. we rented a guide to support us to explain what is wrote on each wall . Actually  i didn`t  like this city . Finally we come back to our country , and we told them what is happened to us in our travel. and I think you should go to Indonesia  if you didn`t go there before .     

   

  

A person who made a difference in my life

A person who made a difference in my life he is Thomas Edison . Because he explored the most important thing in this world which is the electricity. I learned about him from read some books a lot of important things . For example I learned anyone can change this world . but how?  If you have a right goal , And you belive  that this is the right goal without hear only what the people say . In that time you can achieve your goal . Also Thomas Edison was inventor, scientist, and businessman . That means you can be in different disciplines if you have the resolve .
In addition if Thomas Edison didn`t invent the electricity that would be  terrible  Let us think a little .
If he didn`t invent the electricity we couldn`t use the computer , Also we couldn`t  watch Tv or call our friend quickly and there are many things that need the electricity  to work so if I want to tell you what we couldn`t without the electricity  we need whole  our life . In the end I hope you understand why I  chose  Thomas Edison to be the most important person in my life .
