1. Describe the place where you live and say whether you like it or not. I’ve lived in Khemisset city all my life and it has never lost its unique charm in my eyes. Although it is small and lacks a lot of facilities and infrastructure I prefer it to other places.
One reason I prefer it is climate. In Khémisset the weather is often mild and temperate. It is not very cold in winter and not very hot in the summer. It is a salubrious weather and protects me from allergies and some other illnesses that I may catch in coastal or big cities.
Another reason to prefer Khémisset is its size. It is a small city with less stressful traffic jam. This means also fewer fumes and less car noise. There are almost no factories either. This makes the city cleaner than the big metropolitan ones. Living in a small city, as well, allows me to know most people here and be known. However, in big cities people suffer from loneliness and solitude.
The third reason why I like this city is its rural feel. Most people here are simple peasants. I like their condor, innocence, and simplicity as well as their straightforward character. The peasant nature of the city, too, allows me to be in contact with nature and live the four seasons and missing none.
My last, but not least, reason for preferring Khémisset over other cities is language. People speak Berber, a language I speak poorly. I understand it well and try my best to master it because it’s part of Moroccan culture and we do not have to neglect it.
My final opinion, though, is that I like Khémisset because of all the reasons stated earlier but one day I’ll have to experience life in other bigger cities, here or abroad. Then I’ll be in a better position to compare and judge.
Cell phones are something that people have with them all the time nowadays. It’s a very personal communication media. The proliferation of mobile phones and the popularity of text massaging is a double-edged sword.
On the positive side, it allows people to get in touch with one another. It gives them a way of checking in with each other or summoning help in an emergency.
Besides, cell phones have made far away places closer. You can talk to anyone on this planet from your mobile phone as if they are a few meters away.
Also, cell phones provide us with an opportunity to communicate cheaply with SMS text messages. One can chat or send and important messages via SMS service without being charged a big sum.
In addition, voice mail service allows us to always stay in contact. You can always get your message through to the other person by recording it in the voice mail. This way you save time since you don’t have to retry again and again.
Moreover, cell phones have a lot of other uses. They can be used as an address book, as a memo, as a calculator, as a stopwatch, as a tape recorder as a camera etc. It is this multi-use and practicality that make its popularity, plus the fact that it is easy and handy.
On the negative side, cell phones may be used badly. They can contribute to risks the way they contribute to safety. Cell phones may be used to disturb people by ringing them up at night, at work, in holy places such as mosques. They can be used to track down people and threaten them. Also, people may receive unwanted calls as well as bullying messages and immoral pictures (sex). In addition, people complain they have no privacy: anyone can easily find you whenever they want.
So, cell phones are a necessary evil in modern times. We should regulate their use and learn how, where, and when to use them. They have to serve us and not enslave us.
Shakespeare, the greatest English actor, poet and playwright of all times was born on April 26, 1564, in England and died on April 23, 1616.
His father John Shakespeare was a glove maker and a leather craftsman. Mary and John Shakespeare had 8 children, but most of them died and William was the only one to be famous.
Shakespeare probably began his education at the age of six or seven at the Stratford Grammar School but did not go to Oxford or Cambridge like other famous people. He learnt, in addition to English, Latin and studied Latin authors like Seneca, Cicero, Ovid, Virgil, and Horace He also worked for a butcher, in addition to helping his father in his shop. At the age of 18, he married an orphan named Hathaway (26 years old). They had two daughters and a boy but the boy died early.
Shakespeare played in London theatres (1592) before joining a group of actors called “The Lord Chamberlain’s Men” in 1594. They later became wealthy and built their own theatre across the Thames, south of London, which they called “The Globe”. William Shakespeare wrote 38 plays (Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth, the Merchant of Venice, and Much Ado about Nothing….), 154 sonnets and 5 other poems.
In his dramatic works, Shakespeare has provided insights into human nature which equal those of the greatest modern psychologists. Hundreds of expressions, sayings and proverbs that we use every day originated in Shakespeare’s plays. “ To be or not to be that’s the question” , “ All’s well that ends well” , “ Cowards die many times before their deaths” , and “ We have seen better days” , “ Fair play” .
Money is the one thing that people say they argue about most in marriage, followed by children. However there are as many causes as there are cases of divorce. In this game of revenge children become the pawns.
Many studies place money or financial problems as the cause number one. Couples who cannot make ends meet or whose wages and salaries do not allow them to provide for a good living find it difficult to stay wedded. This can be worse if the wife or husband (sometimes) is too demanding.
Second, infidelity is another cause. The spouse, for example, may become too ugly. Love life, on the other hand, may no longer be exciting because the expectations or needs of one or both are not met.
Addictions and substance abuse is cause number three for divorce. I mean the use of drugs and alcohol. This may result in physical, sexual or emotional abuse.
Also, lack of communication between couples may be another cause. Poor communication can bring a dramatic change in marriages. How they argue is more important than what they argue about. Talking and expressing one's feelings and ideas may save marriages.
The consequences of divorce fall mostly on children. It has devastating, long-term effect on them psychologically and emotionally. Divorce happens at a time when kids need stability and support.
Spouses, especially women, suffer from divorce because it is often followed by a “crisis period” typically lasting for years .These crises can be emotional, economical or have to do with parenting which results in different disorders for children.
Eventually, the main factors that make a marriage work are a combination of the three C’s – communication, compromise, and commitment, with a little bit of concession. Modern World suffers many headaches: Wars, famines, earthquakes, droughts, pollutions to name only a few. Pollution which is a cause to other problems has a litany of causes which seem unlikely to be beaten in the near future.
Human beings are the first to blame for pollution. It is their cars that emit the fumes that pollute the air. It is their factories that release the harmful elements in the atmosphere (lead, dioxin, toxin…..) It is human beings who throw rubbish, sewage, oil etc into the waters (rivers and seas). It is humans who cut down millions of trees which produce oxygen and medicine for us. It is us, people, who are responsible for wars that destroy life on land, air and sea and leave poisonous nuclear substances to kill living things for thousands of years to come.
This pollution is responsible for numerous lethal diseases and makes people vulnerable to others such as asthma, allergies, and all chest illnesses. It is also the cause of erosions, droughts, global warming, ozone layer hole, and the worst is yet to come.
To save what is left we have to act quickly, swiftly and altogether. A detailed research is necessary to establish what actions should be taken to properly fight and face pollution. However, education is the key to protecting our environment.
From my viewpoint, people have to be educated into the harmful effects of pollution at schools, through campaigns, and advertisement on the media to sensitise everyone and make them aware of the dangers of pollution .Also, encouragement should be used as well as punishment.
