The interpreter book

Actually, I did not think that I will enjoy "interpreter", but there was enjoyment. I think that because this is the first time I read an English book or not an Arabic book and I understand too. Although, there are a lot of strange words, but I like reading especially if the subject of the book is interesting to me. Actually, this book is not really exciting for me and there is not any character specific is especially for me, but the interpreter Silvia and agent Tobin were the heroes or the stars of the book. And, the special moment was when Kuman-Kuman, Silva, Gamba, and three of Tobin's assistants were in the same place; even in the movie this scene was interesting. In fact, I think that this book is perfect for the advanced level of level two or for level three. Thank you teacher Jeff; for giving me this chance for reading this book and watching its movie.

Video or Board games


In fact, my parents wanted that my sisters, brothers, and me never play computer games or activity-physically games except which is educational one. And thus I didn't know most of your computer games even I was teenager; for me that was good.



Actually, I don't know if any one know "sakher-MXS computer" . it was first computer that I had. It is Alalamiah company's product; 1986. It has very beautiful and educational games. For my age in that time, it had games like video games, but for drawing, coloring, learning letters and numbers, learning addition and subtraction, logical operation and so on.








Another game I enjoyed has "farm mania" name also it is video game; It was when I was teenager. It was about farm and the owner of farm (character's friend) need help and you will help her. You should feed cows, chickens, lamb, and very different animals; also you need to raise it and try to mating. Also you have to water trees. The farm will be big during the game and you will have many factories for produce wool, bread, and fruits, etc. Also, you have to sell your product to earn money. You should finish the day's missions before night. It was amazing.




Now, I prefer board and card computer game: Checkers, GuessCode, Sudoku, Okey, Rummy, FreeCell, Spider, Dominoes, and Minesweeper. Actually, there are many amazing video game for smart devices which I love it: Where is my water, Perry, Cut the rope, and SPYMouse :D. For physically games, I prefer Dominoes, Card game, Buzzels, and Abalone, with my family especially with my father and my mother.


 

In fact, when my son tried to play Sakher's games, he was excited; I think that the educational games almost never get old.

unusual expecting


In my city, there are not many seasons. Most days are summery; So I enjoy Winter in Calgary. When I went to Banff and Canmore, I was so excited with snow activities. There was tubing, skiing and skating It was amazing. For me, Calgary's winter's weather is too cold; very different from my city, but I loved it. My city does not have snow and thus we don't have snow activity. In addition, I expect that Calgary's Fall and summer will be a look like my city's weather and I am so exciting to be in Calgary's spring.

an uncanny vehicle


In my listening\speaking class, one of my friend invents "Helicopcar" which is a car with a helicopter's fan. which it can fly. it's fake invention; just for imagining. I think this is the best machine that I can travel with. I can't wait for long time or delay and I hate crowded streets like my city's streets. Actually, I prefer a car; it is popular in my country and more private for me, but I think If we have trains, it will decrease the crowd. So I prefer the cars with less crowd; where I don't need to waiting, I can go any time I want, and safer than trains or buses especially at night. For sure, airplane for travel more than one – two hours. And I can't travel with any vehicle across the sea.

Be careful !!


Hola Zoza,
How are you ? I hope that you are fine.
your trip to Canada sounds good to me. I would like to tell you something. When you arrive to Toronto, you should fill out a special kind of form. It's important, I'll give you my address to put it in. Also you should be confident at immigration offices and you shouldn't forget your important formal documents. If you finished all of these things, you are fine. You can take a taxi when you arrived, but after that, you shouldn't. Because public transportation is available. It's very easy, but you should know buses' number you will need it. As well, you should take a look on train's map and GPS before you coming. Also, you shouldn't forget downloading some of cellphone's apps. Especially, prayer and Al-Qibla's apps. Actually, there are many of helpful apps for GPS, trains and buses' times and weather. Always I depend on it. The weather here is changeful, so you should be careful. You shouldn't forget to buy a good jacket for Winter because our jackets are light and you should buy gloves, boots and winter scarf. The most important thing that you shouldn't forget it, which are adapters of cables. You shouldn't worry about the food, there are the same restaurants here. Finally, if you see any kind of crime you shouldn't stop anyone, and just you should call the police. I hope that never happen.
I will show you all beautiful places in Calgary. I hope you enjoyed.
Best wishes.

The scare

All of us know that the crimes are universal things, but still it's unaccepted. Actually, when I was looking for a city to study in, I chose Calgary because I think it's safer than other Canadian cities. That's just feeling, because I saw it uncrowded. I hope that I am right.
In my opinion, every city has some things illegal and at least small crimes. I realize that sometimes we can't prevent it, but in general, I think that Saudi Arabia and especially my city is the safest. I think that because of that Islam told us what will happen to offenders or criminals and what the results of crimes are. That's the law, but still there are criminals who are against the law as in many countries.
Here and everywhere still I worry from stealing my handbag or my cellphone. When I get out of my home, I turn left and right, then right and left again, many times. That looks funny sometimes. I think I should bring a bodyguard to come with me everywhere :D

For Me .. and For My City



It's the most lovely to me. From its previous day, some of my big family members come to the family house. They come to prepare a traditional dinner for this evening and a big breakfast for its morning.  We spend an amazing time with each other. After dinner, everyone go to take some of rest until the morning of Eid Al-Feter day. In that morning, all people go to Al-Fajer pray then there is Al-Eid pray. After that, there is the most beautiful celebrate to me. it's continue even three days. First of all, all my family meet again in the family house with our cousins, congratulate each other, and eat a delicious breakfast. Also, people give candies, money, and sometimes gift to children. In the afternoon, we get some rest. Finally, in the evening we go to visit other cousins, sometimes to spend time with our family and children in amusement park, or to watching fireworks. There is a lot of happy feelings and emotions. There is another special day which is Eid Al-Adha, but the first one is more interesting in my city, but in other Arabic cities Eid Al-Adha is happier than Eid Al-Feter. that because, Makkah has another special event that people are busy with.

Just Imagine !!


There is a great and wide hall at a wonderful palace. It contains a fantastic pool. Hall's wall has an amazing seaquarium. It contains various kinds of pretty and colored fish with different sizes. There are some conchs and nice turtles. The swimming pool has heated, beautiful and bluey water. Also, there is sound of water and nature. Beside the pool, there is a professional swimming trainer. He's ready to you on swimming pool; this is just for me because I love the swimming but I don't know how can I do that perfectly. That's a breathtaking. This is my dream if I won $10 million. In fact, while that's happen 'probably:D'; I don't mind giving some of it to poor people and charity. It's humanitarian and religious requirement. Also,I hope to spend it with my family and our dreams after saving some of them for an investment. I will try to achieve that dream that I told you.


It's the money; achieves the dreams, without reasons !!

When you decide to go to Saudi Arabia, you can choose from many different places. First, if you like a nature like sea, coral reefs, diving and seeing several kinds of fish, then you have Jeddah. Also, It is modern, big and tourist city. It has the resorts, chalets, shopping malls, and one of the tallest fountain on the world. Also it has old historical buildings, but if you looking for quietest cities which are have the same sea, the Red Sea. There are Yanbu and Rabigh in the west of kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Second, on the east of the kingdom there is Al-Dammam which is overlooks on the Arabian Gulf. Also, it's industrial city, but it's like Jeddah that's has beautiful beach and a lot of loud life, so it's tourist city also.

Al-Dammam


Next, there is a middle area; the Arabian desert. It's Al-Ryadh city, it's the history of the kingdom, it's the metropolis. It has a big and wonderful towers, but if you looking for a mountains and a great weather, there are Al-Taif, Abha, and the south area of the kingdom.

Finally, there are the holy cities. Which are Makkah and Al-Madinah. For who's looking for an animism. In conclusion, all Saudi Arabia cities have different kind of people and culture. when you go to the Kingdom you'll see Chinese, Indian and  different kind of restaurant, So you can decide which city you'll go to.
