essay//: friendships

Friendships are the pure relationships between us and people we choose. A friend is the one who walks with you on your journey life or parts of it. A real friendship rest on mutual trust, sacrifices, time and energy. Generally, we can divide friendships in to three kinds casual, close and best friends based on the level of trust and intimacy (reading). I believe that good friendships are worth the effort, for it pay off in tough times and I covers our basic needs as a human being.


Usually, friends are the first ones to whom you will turn when tough times occur(reading). Most of the time, friends tend to know a lot of our secrets and sometimes our mistakes more than our parents. we do so, because we are sure that they will never save any effort to help and stand by us. Doctors found in their studies that patients who have support from others are more likely to recover more than patients without support(reading). Actually, tough time are the times in which you can decide whether a friendship is worth or not.

Friendships cover our basic needs as a human being. People in all ages show the need of being included in groups and being excepted from others(reading). Normally, in real life, you can see any human tend to have one or more friendships. Psychologists found that friendships refresh and enhance mutual, physical, emotional and social states.They also confirm that people function best when these needs are met(reading). So, I believe that friendships are worth, because if these needs are not met, we will easily fall apart.

To conclude, although friendships require a lot from us according to our ages and the circumstances, it is worth for people who grow on us. I believe that if we try to form fruitful friendships it will be worth. Because it will absolutely pay your effort off and it will obviously meet your human needs. And remember, making friendships is an optional choice, so it is you choice to live an isolated, lonely, creepy life or a long happy and fruitful life(reading).

essay//:Roommates

Naturally, human being can’t live without friends. Friends are the group of people who stand by you in both good and bad times. However, sometimes life forces us to separate from them and to make new ones. It often happens when we go to college where we, most of the time, had to stay at the same room with someone we don’t know. Making new relationships is a sensitive issue, especially when you about to live with someone for a long time like a roommate. I believe students should meet outside first to discuss the various and they should improve their communication skills in order to get along with their new roommates.

Meeting outside before moving to the new residence is very important for the roommates. It is a great chance which allows the new students introduce themselves, talk about their experiences and habits. They also can discuss various daily issues like studying environment, food if it’s shared and noise levels. A college housing coordinator (Jonathan Elston) talked in interview about the importance of discussing various issues in the first meeting (video1). He says that know roommates should make implicit norms explicit so that each person knows what is important to the other. He also says that it is important to discuss deeper issues like how the rent will be paid, who’s names on the bills, which types of services will be shared and it will be better if they talked about their experiences and their worst situation (video1). This is important because you will try your best to leave a good impressing. As we can see meeting the roommates outside before moving to the residence means knowing the person you are going to live with throughout the year.

Improving communicating skills is not only important to deal with the new roommates. It is also important in all areas of our lives like work, home and friends ( video2). Being a good communicator means being really good at engaging with people, understanding their feelings and knowing how to hold a conversations (video2) . If you want to be a good communicator, then you need to know how to use body language, use open-ended questions, activate your listening and avoiding antagonistic sentences. It is also very important to consider in mind your roommate feelings and believes instead of enforcing him to agree with you ( video2). And remember, the more you develop you communication skills the more easier it will be for you to get along with your partner and to feel comfortable living with him.

In conclusion, roommates need to arrange outside meeting and improve their communication skills before moving on to live on campus. The relationship between you and your roommate could reflect positively or negatively directly on both of you. And if things work out with your room mates they could be like your second family(video1). I believe that everyone needs friends and cant live without them.

>>>

As I woke up in the morning it was quiet and peaceful. All what I could hear is “pitter patter”, it was raining. In hot countries like mine it rains rarely, so I was really happy. Actually, one of my favorite songs is titled “why does it rain! “:P. If you think about the rain carefully you will realize that it has many opposite meaning. When the rain fall, I wander what will I feel…

When the rain fall, the difference between the sorrow and the happiness is hard to tell …

When the rain fall, will I be able to rejoice and play in the puddles like kids ..

When the rain fall, could I stand against it’s angry crying tears.. or just break down like every time we meet..

This paragraph will answer the question mr.randy gave us “ if I were responsible of a tourist what am I going to show/do with him..?

It will be a great chance for him to know about some stuff new to him like ABU-Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. First, I will take him to al shike Zayed mosque. It is a huge and beautiful building which is decorated with lovely Islamic decorations. Before we go to the other places, I will pray for god to put him in heaven from its biggest doors and if the tourist prayed with me that would be kind of him. And after that we will hit the road to “Liwa” . Believe me in warm countries like the UAE nothing is better than the desert especially in this time of year. In the desert we can forget about the stress of the daily life and you will have We will enjoy the pure blue sky and the empty red lands. We can borrow a number of those motorcycle. It is a four-wheel bike, or number of those skateboards, sand-boarding is similar to skiing on the snow but it is much harder. Eating in the picnic is my favorite part, because it is the guys’ responsibility. They barbecue fresh meat with spices. They also made the bread Primitive material. At the end of the day we will go back home, and we will get ready for the next place which is the sea. This trip depends on the tourist's gender. If she were female, she will come with me and my sister and my mom, and if it is a man will go with my brothers. And by the way, our family –most of the Emirati family- they don’t agree with letting their guests sleep some were out the house.

holiday ..


PhotobucketEid el-Adha and the national day has came and that means we are going to have a long holiday. For this year the education ministry is going to give us holiday for two weeks. As a student this holiday is my opportunity to do a lot of stuff. I and my family will go to my father’s farm in Lewa first, then we will go camping in the desert. That would be nice to have a quite enjoyable time and to forget all the prissier of the job times and the technology in our daily life. As usual when we go to the desert we spend our time listen to my father, he tells us a lot about his childhood, gives us important advices and sometimes he sing some old poetry in the old style. And when the Eid come, the first day our relative will come to our house because the dinner will be in our house and in the other day we the dinner will be in theirs. I feel it is funny when the young girls gather they start showing off “like who is the cutest!”. Actually, I don’t care about those stuff because I am the cutest >> just kidding XD. I love the Eid because it is time for happiness. People wear their most beautiful clothes, lots of candy and the most important thing is something we call “Eideah“. Eideah is the money the parents give their children in the Eid morning as a present. Actually they give their children the “eideyah” to the ones who do not work even if they were in the university like me :D. I am going to buy a new mobile phone with that money .

discribing assignment ..

Dyslexai

Do you believe that one in twenty five person are suffering from learning disability ? (Reading). Do not be surprised because most of those people tend to be hidden. Because of learning disability those people feel more comfortable when living their life without communicating with other people around them. Learning disability is diagnosed when someone faces difficulty with reading, writing, listening or mathematics. It leads them to difficulty to communicate with other people although they have average intelligence like normal people. There are many kinds of learning disability, and Dyslexia is one of them. This essay will talk about dyslexia, and it will try set some solution for it.


People with Dyslexia face difficulties in reading, writing and spelling. It is caused by having problems or incidents before or after birth. It could happen when the mother of dyslexic child get hurt from incident or illness while pregnancy. Also, it could happen if the child gets hurt in the early age(reading). People with dyslexia read back words, and that affect dealings in their daily lives, especially in schools. Students with dyslexia score less than others in tests even if they were very good in other areas. That is how Dyslexia leads them to process their lives slowly; it makes them become less advanced than their peers.

Experts says that there are no ultimate solutions for Dyslexia, but it is nothing big to worry about. Society support and activating their skills would be the best way to reduce its effects. First we need to make ^ normal people aware of this problem by using the media. Those dyslexic people need the support of the normal people to break the walls between them. Letting them inter public schools and participate with non-dyslexic people won’t be enough without the society support ( listening ). Secondly, activating their skills in appropriate way would be a successful step to take. For example, Richard Wanderman 48 years old is one of dyslexic people. He has a successful life and respectable career. He says that he faced a lot of difficulty in his life until he discovered his talent in art. He says that art improved his life greatly (reading).

Finally, all of us have to realize that there are people around us need our support, dyslexic people. It could occur because of problem before or after birth. Even if there are not final solutions for Dyslexia, there are effective ways to reduce its severity. Such as society support and involving them in social activity. Those people find difficulty in reading and writing that leads them to lose hope in living a normal life. Little help from us would be enough to save their future.
