An Arabic Idiom

An Arabic Idiom


I would like to write about an Arabic idiom that it doesn’t exist in English language. It’s called “bab alnjar mkloa”. That means a Carpenter door is often broken. For example, I’m a computer engineer, but often my computer doesn’t work well. Another example, if you’re a mechanic. You don’t have time to fix your car. It’s often doesn’t work well. Finally, there are many Arabic idioms. It doesn’t exist in English language.

My tripe to Lac La Jeune Lake

My tripe to Lac La Jeune Lake

Last Wednesday, I went camping at an amazing lake. It's called Lac La Jeune Lake camp site with my wife and my host family. I really enjoy it there. It had many camping spots. In our spot we put two trailers and two cars. Our spot had a fire pit and many trees and toilets. When we arrived there, we set the trailer up and I put the boat in the lake. After that we ate lunch. Then we went fishing and we caught six fish the first day and around seventeen fish over three days. After we finished fishing, we played cards. We stayed there until Friday afternoon. I really didn’t want to return back home because it was a lot of fun. If you want to go camping I suggest going to this lake. It is an amazing lake and not far from Kamloops.

The best thing I learned form my parents

The best thing I learned form my parents

I think the best thing I learned form my father is how I can drive a car correctly and carefully. First of all, when he drove the car, he often tries to explain what he is going to do. Secondly, he gave me a book, that’s explaining the signs in the streets. Thirdly, when we passed a sign, he asks me what the sign mean is. Last but not least, he took me off road many times to training me driving. Finally, he trusts my driving and starts to train me in the streets. After that I have been driving for eight years.

The Important Personal Qualities in a Foreign Country

In my opinion, the most important personal qualities for living in a foreign country is to have an open mind and be honest. First of all, if a person stresses with his customs, he doesn’t want to change some of his routines or habits. He could face a lot of trouble. For example, the women in our home, when they go out in public must be completely covered. Persons in a foreign country may feel uncomfortable around thim. Secondly, you should be honest with people. After that, they will trust you and you will feel like you are in your home. I think these are the most important personal qualities that will change your life and allow you to be in your comfort zone.
