Advertising

There are many kinds of advertising in the world, because markets are very important in community now. Also, every day we see different product in TV, newspaper, and radio. In my opinion, the advertising is a good way sometimes, because the product in advertising is important in our life, and help people to find something they need that. Moreover, the advertising help campaigns for selling their product. When they do not put their product in advertising, maybe they do not have customers for buying their product and they fail their campaign. However, sometimes the advertisings are a bad way, because they use it for marking a bad product. For example, some thing is dangerous for using, or another is without benefit for the people. Also, some advertising is lying, because when I buy this product, I find it different from the advertising. In conclusion, the advertising is a good idea when we use it in a good way. However it is a bad idea when we use it in a bad way. So, I think the advertising is important in our life and we need that every time.

Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The Islamic calendar has started since 610. The Islamic calendar depends on phases of the moon. We fast during the day from sunrise until sunset. All Muslim in the world must fast in Ramadan. Fasting teaches us the patience, modesty, and how the poor live without food and drinking. Ramadan is a time we fast for the sake of our god.

What do we do in Ramadan?

We fast during the day.

We pray more than usual and ask forgiveness for past sins.

We pray to help ourselves how we do good deeds and avoid the evils.

We read Quran a lot and give charity to the poor people.

When the sun is down, we eat dates with water or butter milk. Also, we eat some food after praying. The food is special in Ramadan. For example, we have soup, gruel, Sambosic, pasta, Cream Carmel, and other kind of food with Vimto juice. In this month, many families meet together for eating the breakfast and spend some times for talking.

The first day after Ramadan we celebrate Eid ul-Fitr. Eid ul-Fitr is the major holiday for Muslims. In Eid ul-Fitr we get up early and wear new clothes and go to Mosque for praying and thank our god. Also, we get together with our families and give children candy or money. We eat cake and some delicious food. At night, there are many activities. For example: fireworks, folklore, and other of activities.

Finally, Ramadan is important for all Muslims, and we feel happy when Ramadan comes because it is special month for us.

I hope you enjoy my post.

Homesick

Sometimes I feel sick, but I do not know what I should do for my problem. This problem makes me sad. Also, I have spent a long time to think about this problem. I always miss my family. I need to talk with my mother every day, but I do not have time because I am a student in EAP program. Also, I have a lot of work to do such as doing homework, taking care of my family, and spending a long time outside.

I think homesick is command problem to everybody. Each person has a different way to solve this problem.

I hope nobody feel that any more, and spend great time to enjoy your life.

The poor glasses

I lost my glasses three days ago. When I arrived to my home, I searched about it along time, but without any benefit. After that, I came back to U of C. Before my husband stopped our car, we saw my glasses in the street, and some cars shocked it. It was in bad condition. I felt sad because my glasses is very special to me. I went to eyes care to see a doctor, but I couldn’t see any doctor because the time was late. So, I had to take an appointment for next day. I didn’t feel comfortable because I have a quiz in reading class. After that, I went back to my home I steadied with a hard situation. In next day, the day was hard to me. I had a headache, and I had to focus more and more while I was reading something near me. In the end, I did not just lose my glasses; also, I lost my money.

If you have any problems with your eyes, you should bring with you two glasses because in Canada the glasses is so much expensive.


I miss all things in my country!
