Reflections on English 125

125 English course was one of the best courses i have ever had. It was a new experience to me to write and post my writing into blogger.com so that my friends can log in and read my writing and post me there comments.

At the begging i thought my writing will not be improved but during the course i realised that my writing getting better. With the support from our instructor she showed me my weak area in the writing and i made some changes.

The most challenging part of my writing is the spelling. I need to improve this area and i need to work hard in it. its not sound difficult but its needs a hard work. Because the more rich vocabulary you have in your writing the better your writing.

At the end, this course was a first step to me to improve my writing but still need allot of offered if i would like to keep my writing level always up.

Ramadan Story


On the last week of Ramadan my older brother and I decided to feed a poor people and provide meals to them at Iftar time. We planed to give 50 meals per day. On early morning he went down to one of the tents contractor. He hired a tent can keep up to 50 people. Then we went together to one of the local restaurant in the area and we placed our order.

Later on of the day the tent contractor came in and sat-up the tent beside our house. We were pleased to see the tent have been build up. Two Horus before the Iftar time we drove the car around our district searching for poor people. We invited poor people within the limit. thirty minutes before the Iftar time all the people who been invited showed up. I was looking at my brother with a worried face because the meals were late. He rushed to his phone and called the restaurant to find out what happened.

Unfortunately, the order was delay due an accident happened to the delivery car. At first we did not see how we can get over this situation until my brother drove his truck towards the accident location and picked up the meals. He arrived to the tent just on time and we were extremely happy that we fed the poor people.
