The Disadvantages of Living in a Small Town

                              
   The Disadvantages of Living in a Small Town.


     The majority of people don't like to live in a small town for several reasons. First of all, the small town doesn't have a lot of entertaining venues such as parks, gardens, zoos and museums. Also, in some of small towns, jobs are hard to find. For example, you don't have many jobs choices if you live in a small town. You have a choice of work at the factory, fast restaurant and the retail stores. Moreover, in a small town doesn't have enough places to shop. Many small towns have only a Wall- Mart, a few grocery stores and some local shops that make people fell bored. Additionally, malls in there are very small and crowded and don't have many kinds of restaurants for instance, Italian, Arabic and Indian restaurants. Furthermore, maybe in some of them are one type of public transportations or no public transportations at all. For example, when I went to Banff I walked long distances and I lost a lot of money because I took taxies. Above all, most people prefer living in a city rather than living in a small town.  

SMOKING

                                                 SMOKING

Smoking is one of the worst things that can affect our bodies. Smoking during pregnancy is very harmful for the women and their babies. A cigarette contains more than 4,000 types of chemicals substances. When women smoke during pregnancy that toxic brew gets into their bloodstream and their babies will not breathe very well. Furthermore, smoking is one of the causes of cancer. According to Prevention's Book of Health Facts, on average, a cigarette smoker is 10 to 15 times more likely to get lung cancer than a non-smoker. Moreover, smoking harms and influence not just to the smoker, but family members for instance, children, wife and others people who breathe the cigarette smoke. Also, smoking will cost a lot of money rather than saving them. According to Campaign Tobacco, each American household spends $630 a year in federal and state taxes due to smoking. Additionally, in Canada cost of tax is more than the cost of cigarettes.   To sum up, smoking is one habit that has negative consequences so make sure to quit smoking.

Pollution of the environment in Saudi Arabia

Pollution of the environment in Saudi Arabia
      There are many factors that affect the environment in Saudi Arabia such as natural factors and human factors. Those factors make our environment in dangers.
     These days, many people know those factors can affect the environment and affect themselves.  People always seek to exploit human environment resources to satisfy basic needs even though affect their healthy.
    First of all, natural factor play a role in influencing the environment. For example: earthquake, hurricane, flood, volcanoes and drought. I think human cannot do anything for the natural factors. In the other hand, many people think the human can control and affect the environment, but the environment includes the atmosphere of a particular vegetation and animal life affect the rights in various aspect.
      Second, human factors: the environment affected by human made, in this case people could control the pollution. For example: environmental pollution from factories and cars.  Actually, in my country there are a lot of factories and cars. The factories and cars a main cause to make air pollution.
      The most prominent problems of the environment and the most complex and most difficult solution to the problem of contamination of soil and water of the sea, river, and groundwater and result in pollution from waste and residues of factories, and use of chemicals such as pesticides the waste remnants of homes, building and other installations.
     I think we cannot prevent contamination of the environment, but we can reduce them by recycling or putting less pollution into water air and soil.

The different between men and women

The women have different ways to speak to the men. They know how to affect and convince men. For example, when they want something, they talk with a slow voice with their request. Also, they cry sometime if they want something. On the other hand, women speak too much as apposed men. And if she speak, men must to listen to her and give them you attention! For example, in the honeymoon I went to Dubai by my car. Distance from my home to Dubai around 8 hours and she spent 8 hour for speaking. Sometime I would like to listen to music, but I couldn’t interrupt her. However I believe women and men have different language, you can understand what she wants from his voice, her face and from her felling. Just ask them and they will tell you everything even some secret, but men stay silent without any word. I respect  women and I believe most of them smart and kind, but this is my opinion.

The Battle of the Sexes

 The battle of the sexes

I have been married since Oct, 2009. At the start of my new life, I had some problems with my wife because women have different behavior and different manner. The situation was very hard and I couldn’t understand her. I thought if I was quite, I would solve many problems, but it was the wrong way, because they want to talk when they get angry. Also, when she cooks anything, she waits for me to say anything about the food; should I say the food is very nice or delicious. I think women have many ways to affect and convince men, for example when my wife wants anything she talks with a slow voice with her request. Also, they cry sometimes if necessary. In this case some men will do what they want. At the beginning of winter, she got sick because she ate ice cream. I prevented her from eating ice cream in the winter, but she could convince me to let her eat. When we came to Calgary, we spent so much time together and we understood each other. 
I think women and men use different language and everyone has different method. For example, usually men speak loudly and they don’t speak too much. Women speak too much, faster, and men have to interact with them. However, men and women need each other even if they have different language, mind and felling.

BANFF

                                                My trip to Banff
      Last summer, I went to Banff. Banff located in the province of Alberta in the Canadian Mountains. I went to Banff with my wife; we went from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM by a bus. When we arrived there, we were surprised from the beauty of nature! I like Banff so much because it is a very beautiful and exciting city. Banff has so many interesting places to visit. The weather was very nice. We saw the biggest hotel in Canada. Also, we saw many different animals. Some examples of animals we saw, bears, squirrels, and mountain sheep. Banff has a lot of woods and the trees are very high. We walked between them and we went up to the mountain by Banff gondola; in the beginning I was scared, but   after that I felt relaxed. It was a very nice experience and it was a great time in Banff. My trip to Banff was very interested and I would like to visit it soon.

                                               Healthy an Unhealthy food
      Life today is not like  before. Befor, people ate foods from their cook. They ate foods that do not include many bad things like oil, color, chemicals, preservatives, and…. Also, People had a lot of time to cook their own foods. They was not affect by the food that they ate, because all of the foods that they cooked natural foods and healthy .that why they didn’t have any problem with their healthy and thy lived along time. But, these days every person is very busy and they don’t have time to cook their own food. And if they cook usually they cook easy food. They don’t know what they eat, they don’t have time to read the ingredients to check this food healthy or not. This is our problem because our health rely on about what we ate. Everyone has to take care about his body and choose which food is healthy and unhealthy.

Extreme sports

                                                    

                                                                  Extreme sports

       Actually I didn’t do any kind of an extreme sport like skydiving or Bungee jumping, but I did kind of car race. I think this kind of race belongs to extreme sports. It calls (street race). The race usually started at the night because it is illegal. Also, we choose uncrowded road and far from houses to start this race. This race created because some guys have sport cars and they fix some parts in the engine to get more speed, after that they challenge each other. Some guys get injured from this race for example, accident, be in prison, and…. In the fact, I did this race when I was teenager and I made an accident onetime when I was on the race. I got many ticket and violation from a police man, but sometimes I could escape from him. I enjoyed while I was making the race and I felt like pride or ego by myself. Additionally, I didn’t achieve any money. When I grow up I was ashamed of myself, I didn’t get any benefit from this race just I lost some money from the accident.
