Thanksgiving is a special time to gather with family and enjoy a delicious meal. In my religion we don’t have Thanksgiving Day. Last week, I saw a lot of people very happy and glad because Thanksgiving vacation coming. Thanksgiving is the four week from November every year. I didn’t celebrate on Thanksgiving because I and my wife hit the book for IELTS exam. I went to Chicago for just a day after that I went to Dekalb for IELTS test. We enjoyed together and we spent wonderful time at Chicago and Dekalb. Whatever, a lot of people like Black Friday because big deal and huge discounts on Friday after Thanksgiving. I saw a lot of people next Best buy and Target and long line. We went to Walmart and we bought some electronic advice, it was very cheaper than regular price. Thanksgiving a lot of people like it because visit family and we can get more discount for everything do you want.
Happy thanksgiving.

Hi Omar,
I like your story and it was funny. Some new saudi students surprised about change our o’clock one hour back, I explained them why people in the USA change their o’clock because the winter comes and save electricity. A lot of people believe that is good idea because their children need more social hours.
Now, some mobile change o’clock automatically. Are you still don’t like change time one hour back?
Have a good night buddy

I changed my clock for first time was fall 2012, I surprised from a lot people changed their clock one hour back. I haven’t heard about change my clock one hour back in my life. When I knew The IEI sent to message some information about forward our clock one hour back. When you change our clock back on hour this called Daylight Saving Time DST. Most of the United States will change an hour by turning back clocks to Standard Time. The important reason for forward our clock for save electricity and reduce light. Many people believe when we change our clock back on hour give children more social time and increase some outdoor activity. On other hand a lot of people belief that Daylight Saving Time could be linked to fewer road accidents. I think in my country we don’t change our clock on hour back just change working hours such as school start 6:30 am in summer then we will change it for 7:30 am. I think it isn’t good idea because a lot of people practice more activities between 4- 7 pm but now 4:30 pm it is very dark like 10 pm. However, DST give us a lot of time sitting with our family and sharing some activities at home. Sometimes I like it and sometimes i don’t like DST. I THINK IT IS NOT BIG DEAL (-;-)
Sunny, that’s my favorite weather. I like sunny weather because where I live when its sunny its usually a beautiful day. Its too hot but, it’s also not to cold or windy either. When I see sunny weather it helps me think positive thoughts throughout the day. It also keeps me hopeful and not as depressed during the day. I heard a lot of people in the United State like sunny weather. In sunny weather a lot of people are doing many activities, keep running and go to the picnic with family, relatives and friends. I think of sunny weather I think of Spring or Summer. I saw a lot of activities and camping in these seasons. I like sunny, so I play soccer a lot in the outdoor and I shared some activities with my friends. Sometimes I went to Mohmat or crystal lake with my wife and we made barbecue in the Lake. Then, we played frisbee. I spent a lot of times out my home and hangout with my wife. In sunny I visited farmer market ,but in cold weather I can’t doing anything also I can’t visit farmer
market. I hope you guys enjoy in your weather.
Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. Some people arrange their houses by black or orange color and they are buying Halloween traditional celebration before Halloween day. On the day people are celebration and make something fun such as, carved pumpkin, wearing strange costumes, draw vampire or buffoon their faces and buy many kind of Chocolates. Then, Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. Last year, I went to IEI Halloween, it was very amazing and wonderful. I saw many students and teachers there dressed scared costumes and I went to carved pumpkin with my teachers and classmates. Wow, it was awesome. This Halloween I bought strange costumes and face. Some children take around their neighbors to receive candy, I think in my country same in East area. I am sorry i can’t remember any scary story about me. I like Halloween day, but in the IEI no day off (‘;’) in Halloween day. Enjoy guys and I will make something fun.
My major is nursing. I choose my major after deep thinking and future planning. I deiced to be a nurse after an experience I had with my mother at the hospital. While we were there, I noticed how amazing the nurses were. They helped the patients and they tried to make them feel better, and they were friendly. I thought of how that job could help me to have a great social life duo the number of patients that a nurse see everyday. I talked with my father about studying nursing and he encouraged me and he was welling to help me. Then I started looking for a good nursing school. I started studying and it took me 3 years to graduate. When I started working as a nurse . I found that nurses have closer relationship with patients than doctors and I formed a lot of friendships with some patient and their relatives. I love working as a nurse I feel prude of helping other people get better. if you have any question about nursing feel free to ask me. (‘;’)

I am writing about famous restaurant in my home country. There are many famous restaurants in our country. I choice one famous restaurant which is ALBAIK restaurant, it is like Macdonald’s in the U.S. The ALBAIK story began in 1974 in the city of Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, when AbuGhazalah saw that there was a need for high quality affordable food, served fast and courteously, in a clean and inviting environment. It provides different type of fast food spicy and regular such as fried chicken, Shrimp and Fish. It serves chicken fillet nuggets, fish fillet, shrimp and chicken, fish fillet Burgers and shrimp sandwiches. It isn’t expensive, the prices range from $3 – $5 per meal. ALBAIK has a secret recipe, their food is tasty, very delicious and crunchy. The first restaurant was opened in Sharafiyah District. It has more than 40 branches in our country. However, these branches are located in one region only. A lot of people from different regions like it. So, some visitors when they visit our city, they would eat from ALBAIK. It is usually crowded and messy. I like their spicy chicken breast and nuggets. I always enjoy eating from that restaurant.
Many people have a role model in their lives. I admire a lot of people, but the person I admire the most is my father, who is my role model. He is important person to me. My father’s name is Abdullah, he is 65 years old and he is a businessman. He works hard and he likes learn something new. He helps poor people and homeless, he is a good and wonderful father in my life. He has been married for 45 years, he is cheerful. I admire him, because he is very intelligent and he has many goals in his life. The first goal is that he takes care of us and collect money and built house for us. Second, improve his education and our education. He is very patient, warm heart, social person all people respect him and everybody likes him. My role model has many habits and he likes riding horses, swimming and reading. Generally, my father is outgoing and creative. For example, after I graduated from nursing collage while I was looking for job I worked with him in his office and learned a lot from him and we became more close to each ether. He is very important to me, because he teaches me to be a better person and he can always advise me. Another example, he always encourage me to have a good education he said to me “Early Start Grow Smart” and when I deiced to come to the U.S. He was very happy and supported me. I appreciate my father so much and I love him. I want to be like him when I have children and even if we were a thousand miles away our hearts will always be together and forever. I pray for him every day. Thanks a lot my father. In short, a lot of people have someone important and close to their hearts. When you love someone you admire him everywhere and you can’t forget him.
