The weather

Carbondale is not a city that has regular weather. The worst thing about the weather in Carbondale is that it is always changing and when it become hot weather it is horrible. You feel the sun is very shining on this small city. Also the winter is very cold for me because I did not used to live in such weather. Although the people here say it is not cold yet and the real cold weather did not come yet but I am freezing. The worst weather between them is the winter for sure. In the summer season and the hot weather does not cause many disease. Just the worst thing about the summer in Carbondale is that, you can find insects everywhere. Also in summer afternoon is long and it is boring. The winter is causing to me many problems. I usually get tired because of the cold weather.

Technology

The technology for sure has been changing our lives and how we live. When someone gets into videogames or uses the internet so much, there wo;; be a lot of problems for the individual is the isolation from the community. If a person 24 hours plays videogames amd does not make friends he will get hurt in the society;he will be different from other people. Maybe the person's mind will be busy all day about a fictional life and he does not get attention from other people who talk to him and this is because of the videogames. The internet,also, seems to have its own life;many people are attracted to the internet amd spend long times using it. The new technology of the internet has a lot of strong danger. For example,the free download it threatens them and brings losses to them. It also has the sa,e effect as videogames;whem someone uses it a lot he becomes far away from his society amd maybe some people neglect their obligations because they spend much time in the internet.

Abstract

The topic of this paper is the golden lion tamarins. It argues that we should protect them and whether the hunting and capturing of them increases the extinction of the species regardless of the benefit to people. There are three reasons for this arguement. The first reason is that the people who get benefit from the golden lion tamarin and other animals are hurting the environmen. The second reason is that when the golden lion tamarins or any species are endangered, they should go to the zoos. The third reason is that, there should be specialists and others who are concerned about the animals to help them whenever they are in danger

My city

I live in the east of Saudi Arabia in a city called Dammam. There are some things that are similar between my city and Carbondale. The weather is almost the same; usually when I talk to my family and ask them about the weather in my city, I find it the same in Carbondale. Especially the hot weather in the two cities; when there always are sunny days and the people try to find the air conditioning to relate a little bit. My city is bigger than Carbondale. The people in our country tend to come to our city on vacation to go to the beach and enjoy their time. On the contrary, in Carbondale most of the people tend to go out on vacation because most if them are students. This is the biggest difference between them; Carbondale is a small city and a lot of people who live there are not from this city. In Dammam; because it is near the other Arabic countries, the life there is cool, and a lot of people try to be residents of this city.

Vacation

Fluency Exercise #6.

I like to go on vacations a lot and I love to go with my friends. I have a lot of vacation activates I like, such as going to farms. In my city there are a lot of farms that have pools and big yards. We can rent these farms but usually we have to do so 2 months or more in advance to get a reservation because a lot of people go to farms during vacations. In addition, when we go to a big city like Chicago we usually like to go to the museums. We also go to the entertainment places like the cinema center, Walt Disney, and Universal studios and spend a lot of time taking pictures and enjoying ourselves there. In a big city, I also like to go to its malls and buy new clothes and go around its neighborhood. Also, at night, as a guy, I usually like to go to the café to drink cup of coffee and talk with my friends about everything.

Fluency Exercise #4

In our culture, the perfect age for the people to get married is above the 20 years old, immediately, and when someone does his wedding in these ages all the people around him will feel happy, so that makes a perfect wedding in my culture. Because most of the people get engaged and do their wedding in these ages, their families prepare the places for the wedding for them, which usually are big places such as the halls that provide kitchens and sitting rooms. In the past the wedding always was in the neighborhoods and its atmosphere was better than the wedding in the halls because the person stayed in the neighborhood which he grew up in and remembered his past while he transferred to another life. The perfect thing for the person in our culture while he is preparing for his wedding is at the same time seeing his friends feel happy for him. Usually the wedding starts at night and before the wedding the young gather in a farm and sing song for the person who will get married and swim with him and clean him and take pictures. I want to do such a thing like that and I want my wedding to be in my neighborhood.

Technology

On the internet these days many people try to write in arabic language but by the English keyboard even if they know the English language. They use English numbers as replacing the Arabic letters if the keyboard is English. It has become popular to do such a thing. For example number 2 when they use it in a word they pronounce it as "A" and the number 6 they pronounce it like the letter "T" in Arabic language. Also, particularly the young people trt to avoid the old words and try to us a language that is used only between them. The emails are regular and people mostly use numbers to make their emails. For example, someone uses 86 and writes a word with it that means a time or history that is important for the person. Not just in the internet field, but also in speech, people use many words the old people do not use because of the process of technology. For example, there are many people who exchange some videos between themselves by a new technology which is the Bluetooth and this word is used a lot between them. This is considered a new word that was not used before ever.
