Recycling


There are many ways to keep our environment clean and healthy. If you want to protect our world from pollution and keep it healthy you should follow these steps correctly. we should tell all the people in the community how important to live in a healthy world and we must do a lot of announcement about recycling in the schools and universities and in any place and  we should put many trashes for recycling in every place. For example, we should put trashes in the schools and universities because the students will be happy to make a better place in the world. we should put many kinds for recycling. For example, rubbish for glass and rubbish for plastic and different rubbishes. If we want to throw the rubbish ,we should throw it in a true rubbish.In the past people have a lot of pollution in their countries because they don't have a lot of money to recycle.

Last Holiday

Last holiday was a very interesting holiday. First, I traveled Oman with my sweet family. We visited my grandmother in Oman and we stayed in her house. We enjoyed so much. For example, we went to the mountain, and we saw a lot of green trees. Second, we came back to Abu Dhabi, and we went to Dubai. I spent a nice time in Dubai with my family. We visited many places in Dubai. For example, we went to Dubai Mall. We sat in a beautiful restaurant in Dubai Mall and we ate Italian food. Third, I spent time with my Zu friends. We went to the beach and we swam. I had beautiful days with them. For example, we went to the cinema and we saw a nice movie. Finally, I stayed with my cousins and we watched TV. Last holiday was very wonderful.

My uncle

I have five uncles and I love them all , but there is one uncle who I love the most. Omar is my favourite uncle. He is 27 years old. He is lovely. I love him because I feel happy when I sit with him and I can tell him whatever I want. I'm not afraid that he will misunderstand me. When I ask him for something he never says no to me. I always go out with him . We spend a lot of time with each other. Two years ago he got married and I love his wife. She is his cousin. Nothing changed when he got married. We still talk to each other. Actually I spend time with his wife too. We are friends now. We always talk to each other about many things. She is the best. I love these two because they love me and they are so kind and lovely to me. They always try to help me when I need help. Also, they always ask about me.  

Family

  Family is where we all belong to and from where our identity comes from. A person is valued based on his family and upbringing. We all belong to a family and it is our family that keeps us together through thick and thin. Without having a family, no person is complete and the completeness comes with good family bonding.Nobody can deny the fact that nothing is more important than a family. You may not realize how momentous a home is when you're small, but when you become more mature , you'll realize that family really means everything to you. First of all, it's where your life begins and the love you are given truly never dies. It's the place where you are loved for who you are, therefore, you're free to be yourself. Second, you can always count on the members of your family. They have been there for you since the day you were born and there's no reason for them to leave you when you grow up. They are the ones who always stand by you, help you face the problems and difficulties you have to solve in your life. They're the ones who teach you the value of love, gratitude, truthfulness and self-confidence. Despite those tough experiences you have to suffer in life which may not come to your expectations, your family will always stand by your side and help you deal with them. They make sure that you know a family means no one is left behind or forgotten. Last but not least, your family help improve your personalities. Being raised in a good family let you have a good head start which will be a huge benefit for you later in the future. 

A close friend

A close friend means a lot to me.She is the one that will fight for my rights,believes in me,stay faithful and ignores who hate me.A close friend is the one that will stuck with me.Friendship is hard to find nowadays.It needs to be treasured and cherished because its valuable.It's not only about hanging out and enjoying time it's also about sharing moments together.Every person have a close friend but it's about who value what they have together.Because with them we share interests and secrets.A close one will stay supportive and will understand me. Although there are many friendship around,its different in every place,but it depends on the person.To be happier and to avoid fear people should find a friend that won't jude them.It's important to have a close friend not everyone understands it,they only need to search for one.




Words can hurt more than a broken bone





So this thing have been bothering me lately , how much people can be ignorant and shame less . They will be like " ew you look ugly with your new hair cut " " are you stupid ?"( and many other names that I can't post it ...but yeah) . Like it's only words right ? But it might really get to this person and they'll be hurt and honesty it's hurt more than being beaten up physically . Words can not be taken back . What is already have been said will always be there , it will  move from someones mouth to other and no one will consider if it's a rumour or not . Even if it was real and not a lie , you should remain silent , you never know you might  be the one who will end it and safe the poor person from torturing and being afraid . I bit who start taking about anyone is the one who really desperate for attention and feel left out .

Just remember " who will try to put you down that's only mean you're above them " 


here's a video to make you feel why you're here right now for a reason :)

My own army


Life's not safe any more. Actually its force the humanity to be ready for any thing because anything could happen. To be armed is like to be strong, powerful and fearless and it's kind of difficult. Am a armed person,  yes I am, I have my own deferent strong army.

My army is quite unique, they are like an umbrella in a stormy day, like a bridge in a middle of crocodiles swamp and exactly like the use of the worrier shield when a strong hit is coming; my brothers even are more valuable than the words that I wrote before.
They seems to be tough as a personality because that's what man asked to be. However, they are full of emotions and they are wise people. They are one in a million, I never can imagine how my life is going to be without them and I ask the god to bless them.

I had learn many things such as how to develop and change the ideas to be suitable with the situation. Also, I have learn the steps to be more confident when I want to present my presentation. In general, these levels improved my English language skills. I become more fluent in speaking, I can take a notes while I'm listening to the listening exam, my writing ideas become clearer and organized and I become more flexible in reading and I don't find it difficult to understand the words like before. In each level I met a wonderful teachers those whose thought me what they good at. All of the teachers can understand me and how I prefer to study inside the classroom, because I explain it for them, so as not to put myself in an embarrassing situation. However, to fell that I improving my skills I prefer to sit by myself while we doing the writing practices, grammar practices, reading or others practices. In this way I can try to figure out the answers and learn from my mistakes.

Dreams

 Dreams are the most amazing things in life , we all love to dream and we all love to hope and to see ourselves getting better and better each day.Everyone of us dreams of being something and tries to achieve his goals , everyone has his own resolutions and has something to look up to and to reach.However, some people may say that dreams are hard to follow and it's impossible to be able to achieve your dreams.But, that's actually not true , because our dreams are in our hands , we are the ones that can control them and make them real.For me, I Look up to many things during my life such as : learning english and be good at it , completing my studies and improving my self at any field during my life , I really can't stop dreaming I think it is really great to dream and to live your life trying to reach your hopes .All you have to do is to set your goals in front of your eyes and work as hard as you can to reach your points .There's no doubt that there will be times when you feel like giving up , but no don't give up on yourself just stand up and try even if you have to try for a thousand time but keep trying . Everytime you feel lost and confused just dream again of the person you would be if you worked hard for your goals.Moreover, I believe that it's better to put a plane for yourself to follow .First, you have to write down what your resolutions are and then find out what does it take to reach them.
In conclusion, set your dreams right in front of your eyes and work for them , and there's no doubt that you'll reach them someday.

Best friends

Every person need someone who can talk to about anything with out being shy, and keep their secret also bieng loyel and honest.
 Thats what best friends mean. Its a realation between two people or sometime three, which they can do everything together and they consider them as member of the family and know your weekness and how to make you happy and cheer you up. Best friends is like you but in in other soul.
But not every firendship is real, there are some fake people who attended others just because they need something.So we should chose the right friend that never cheat on us or shere everything with and support us at the at the hard time. 

My best friend

Having a best friend just makes my life complete. I love the way they make me laugh till my stomach aches, the way they make me smile like there is no tomorrow. They are here whenever I need them and they help me whenever I go through hard times. I was a normal, boring person until I met those people who now I call my best friends. No matter how much we argue we end up missing each other like we didn't talk in years. My best friends are like stars I can't see them but I know they are there for me. We act like we are related because nobody understands me like they do. A friend or a best friend always leave but a best friend always find their way back. My best friend always believe in every little thing I do thats why I appreciate my good, awesome and unique life that is filled with them. I thank god for their helpful existence. my life would be nothing without them.

Warning!!

Hi all,
Many of you have met the deadline and posted your 150 words. Thank you. However, Dana, Mariam, Mashael, Mouza, Noofa and Rawdha have not posted their work. You have one last chance to post. Deadline is 2pm today - failure to post will give you a grade of zero. Please see me in the break if you are having trouble using the blog.

Zayed University

University is my dream since I was in school. I chooses Zayed University for different reasons . First, I chooses Zayed University because it is a developed university in the UAE. Many students want to be in this university because it gives a good education. Second, I am in this university because there are a lot of amazing majors and there are a lot of wonderful teachers in this university. They teach us a lot and I learn many new things in English from my lovely teachers. I want to complete in this university even if I failed. It's difficult university but I will work hard and I will advice my sisters and brothers to enter Zayed University in future. I will get work easily and high salary if I  graduate from university. Finally, I wish to get high scores in Zayed University and I will work very hard for my future in Zayed University.  

Shopping

Firstly, shopping is a necessary thing  in the modern life, because we need things to using such as: food, clothes, shoes, and other things. However, shopping would get too dull if it became my daily routine. I feel nervous when I can't find what I want. Sometimes shopping can be time when you feel relaxed, and sometimes you feel angry.
Secondly, I have to talk about looking after money. Sometimes I spend my money too quickly, but now I am trying spending the money wisely. I want to have money all the time, but I lose it quickly if I buy something whenever I have a lot of money. that if I spend all the money today, tomorrow I cannot buy anything.Nonetheless everyone wants to be richer and happier. My family probably would be happier if we were very wealthy, but money is not the most important thing, and now we are living well.
Finally, shopping is important and part of our life because we can find everything we need it and use it.

My dreams

Achieving your dreams is like catching stars. Each person should have dreams and future to think about it. From my childhood, I always wanted to be a business woman and have my own business to rule. Being a business woman will allow me to have a powerful position and control many other position. Also it will help me to build my country's future and build my personality. I want to open my own clothing line that share both our traditional cloths with western touch, so I will creat own trade mark. My second dream is to build a family and raise my children the way I was raised. I want to teach them how to be independent and creative on their own way.

Stupid things

 


  From the title you can see that I'll write about things that irritate me or things that people do I think it's really not necessarily . Firstly why we have to pour cornflakes then the milk why not the other way around ? Why people are programmed to do the same things and if someone broke that he is abnormal ? And surly will be judged . Why people judge a person by the way you dressed , the way you speak , the way you walk even the way you live ? We only live once right ? I don't say we should do bad things to feel a live , but what I say is why we hold our selfs from what will make us feel better about our selfs and show the best of us for people and feel happy and not tied . Sometimes we do the right thing but it feels so wrong and we do the wrong thing and it feels so right . Most what irritate me why people label things ? You're a girl don't do that , don't wear that it's boyish and same goes for the guys , why boys can't love the colour pink but girls are allowed to love blue ? Women want their right but sometimes men do to . But that how life is , if you act different you're the abnormal but why not to be called special ? 



This photo is take by me , byeeeee :3 !! 


My favourite pet


There are many pets that i like but my favourite one is the cat. I like cats because they are so lovely. I want to have one in my home but my parents do not allow that. They said it can effect your health in a bad way. I think that cats are beautiful and cute. They will not effect our health if we take care of them and take them to the hospital to cheek their health. We have to be sure that they are healthy. Cats are so helpful. They do not need a lot of care. Cats can learn quickly. They can do many things. For example, cats can open the door for themselves also they clean themselves. Cats are independent and they do not bother people. Also, cats might feel very early vibrations or sense the increase in static electricity that occurs before a quake. I wish to have cat in my home. 

Chances

It's hard to get what you want easly, specially if its kind of impossible. 
But no matter how much life gets harder there is still something called "chances". 

A Chance is the opportunity to make what you want become true.
Chances are like a bridge between where you are standing and where the thing that you want stands.
Life is fair, that means one day for you and the other it's against you and there is nothing you can do about it. 
Facing a chance is something extraordinary, specially if it got in front of you suddenly and you didn't go searching for it, it just came to you.

In the end, don't you ever miss your turn, when ever you obtain one get hold of it and exploit it because you don't have the guarantee of getting another one in the future. So the moment you get a chance that will make a difference in your life just take advantage of it and forget your past.

My Hobbies

My hobbies are writing poems,riding horses and traveling.Everyone has their own special hobby to do.writing poems is my favorite thing to do.The best thing People can write about anything and anyone as well.There's plenty of subjects to write about. However,poetry should be rhyming,so that the audiences feel it as well as the writer of the poem explain it. My second best hobby is for sure riding horses.With horseback riding you should be prepared to fall off ,but you need to get back up and try again.Horseback riding is a activity i enjoyed doing in the past.I would like to do it again but my parents wouldn't agree,because to them it isn'the best selection. My last hobby is traveling.Traveling can be relieving and helps boost my mood. To me i feel like i'm achieving a level of peace and relaxtion.while traveling  people can learn a new language and face lots of challenges.By traveling you get to prove to yourself you can do lots of stuff you'r surprised of doing,and that's the amazing part. People should find a list of various activities and choose from it what can be suitable for them. Hobbies can be active or brainy and both provide enjoyment. The active onces are like camping,riding horses moreover car racing. Brainy hobbies are the onces that make you intelligent for people who love playing puzzles. I love my hobbies alot and i won't replace them at all.

Week 1 Blog post - due Sunday 16th Feb

Hi again,
For week 1 please write 150 words on a topic of your choice. The grammar we need to focus on this week is subject verb agreement.

Good luck and remember to be careful of your grammar.



Welcome

Hi all,
This blog is about improving your writing accuracy. Each week you will need to post 150 words on a topic that interests you.

Each week you will get a grade based on the number of errors you make in one grammar area. 

If you make 0 mistakes, you will get 100%. If you make 1 mistake, you will get 90%. If you make 2 mistakes, you will get 80%. If you make 3 mistakes, you will get 70%. If you make 4 mistakes, you get 60% and if you make 5 or more mistakes, you will get 50%. I will grade on Sunday 2-4pm, so your writing must be in by then.

Copied work, or work that I think isn't your own will get 0% (please don't get your sister to help!). Work under 150 words will lose 20%.

After I have graded the work, you have 1 day, till Thursday 2pm, to find the mistakes. Each mistake you find and correct in a comment, will gain you 3%.

For example, if you wrote 150 words on a topic and I found 3 errors, you would get 70%. If by Thursday 2pm, you found and fixed 2 of the errors, you'd get an extra 6%. This would make your score 76%.

You will do 5 of these pieces of writing and I will average the 4 best scores you get.

Please feel free to write about anything, add photos and video- just be careful to write correctly.
