Owning a car
Nowadays, all people use cars. Which has become the most useful and important means of transport. However, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, having car allows people to move around freely without need to wait for bus or train. Also, cars are comfortable way to travel. Moreover, it’s safe at night and emergency situation that gives you an alternative to walk down a street to wait for bus or take a taxi. In addition, cars can create job opportunities for some people such as: taxi driver and bus driver.. etc.
On the other hand, having a car can have certain disadvantages. First, it’s the direct reason that causes air pollution and noise pollution. While it’s useful, it is very expensive and costs a lot for repair. What is more, car causes worry and stress. Also, people may be have terrible accidents especially when the driver is sick.
Finally, I think we can’t do any thing with out a car, and it’s important for us.

Living in a city or in a country?
A lot of people want to live in a city, so some of them moved from the country to the city looking for better chances. But, still there are some people who prefer to live in a country. So is it better to live in a city or in a country?
First, let’s talk about living in a city. It’s preferred as a place to live in because it shows you a variety of people, races and cultures. Also, it’s more exiting with its movies, theatres and restaurants. Then, there are lots of interesting shops, which make your shopping great and comfortable. Finally, the most important advantage is that it gives us more job opportunities.
On the other hand, some people don’t prefer to live in the city because it has a lot of drawbacks. One of them is the traffic jams and parking problems. Also, the polluted air, which affects our health. In addition, living there is so expensive. Also, the shops are always crowded, so that makes us worried. The most important thing is that living there can be more dangerous because there are so many crimes.
Now, we’ll take about living in a country. Life in the country is very peaceful and quite. The people are so friendly and kind. Then, there is the fresh air, which comforts us. You live there with out pollution, noise, stress or crimes.
From anther way, living in the country can has its disadvantages. One of them is that you’ll be isolated from the outer world and away from modern life. Then there are less jobs, schools and hospitals, because off all these, we see that the education and health levels are so low.
In my point of view, I think I prefer living in the city to be close to the modern technology, and visiting the country is just for talking rest and change.

Animals in the zoo.
For a long time ago, animals had been living in the wild, eating wild food. Then, they have been taken to zoos and kept in small cages. This step has both advantages and disadvantages.
Keeping animals in zoos, give people chance to see and learn about them, and it will be easy for sciencetists to study animals. Also, sciencetists will look after them when they are sick. Moreover, they could save animals such as pandas and coalas. From extinction by breeding programmers.
On the other hand, keeping animals in zoos has its disadvantages. Animals are not comfortable or happy because they are kept in small dirty cages faraway from their houses. Although, sciencetists save animals from extinction, animals may not be fed well. While animals are looked after in zoos, they are forced to do silly tricks to entertain visitors of the zoos.
On the whole, in my opinion zoos are important to keep animals, because they offer the animals the protection and care they need in spite of their disadvantages.

Own a mobile phone.
Nowadays, all people use mobile phone. Which has become the most useful and important means of communication in the world. Some people agree on owning mobile and some disagree.
In the first place, people who agree on owning mobiles think that the mobile is very necessary for emergencies. Moreover, many people can’t do with out mobiles, in their jobs such as; teachers and businessmen. Also, mobiles keep in touch with people, everyone in everywhere can call anybody. And don’t forget that the mobile is easy to carry everywhere.
In spite of this, when we think about our health and how it’s affected by mobile, we decide to do without, because it’s harmful to ears and can cause social problems. Although, it keeps people in touch, the communication may not be clear. Moreover, mobiles can be annoying.
To conclude with, mobiles have been used by large number of people but it’s necessary to be careful when using it to keep us safe.

Owning a computer
Nowadays, all people use computer, which has become the most useful and important means of communication in the world. Of the new technological wonders, personal computers have probably had the greatest influence on the daily life of average people. Computer has both advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, the computer is very useful if we look at it from one perspective. Fore be you can download almost any program you need for free. Moreover, it can used as some sort of recreation as you can chat with friends and play games. You can also make new online friends that come from all over the world. This means that you could share files and emails with them. Furthermore, Computer allows you to shop online while you are sitting home. Finally, the computer is a very effective way for learning all sorts of things including foreign languages.
On the other hand, Computers have caused some problems, the computer has access to inappropriate programs for children. Some people are so addicted and use the Internet to get addicted to friends money waster for chatting and making new friends. Also, sitting on a chair in front of the computer for affect your eyes for cause health problems, and you might suffer muscle pain because too long can of that. Computers can be, and have been, used to commit crimes. Because a computer can become a powerful and hard to detect tool in the hands of a dishonest employee, safeguards must be developed computer crime. Security issues in the network environment have become a paramount concern to business, and, as system to grow, the vulnerability of systems seems to be growing also. Computer themselves don't invade someone else's privacy, but the people who operate computers can violate another's privacy. Although experts predict a significant number of new jobs in the computer industry and related fields, employees who don't know how to use a computer, or who refuse to learn, will be at a definite disadvantages. In the future, continued computer training and updating of computer of computer skills will be a necessity for all employees.
It is clear that the personal computers have made our lives easier, but they have done so at a cost. To sum up, in spite of the drawbacks of computer, we have to reach our children to choose beneficial and educational programs in order to help them make the best use of it.

From: 5 sic 1
Subject: Al Noor School
Last week I visited al Noor secondary girls school to make my research about girls school in Bahrain and I liked it very much.
Building:
The buildings are small but in spite of this, they are new and the classrooms are wide and there is a locker for every student.
Library and Labs:
The Library is well stocked also there are photocopier machines, there are chemistry and biology labs with computers and Internets.
Staff:
The women who work the library are unfriendly , the lab teachers are unhelpful.
Cafeteria:
The cafeteria is small comparing to the number of students. In addition, the food is unhealthy and not enough for all students.
Gym hall:
It’s big, it has air conditional and well equipped.
Conclusion:
In my Opinion the school is nice but needs some improvements.
Frightening story
Last night wile I was sleeping in my room, all my family was sleeping also, and the house was quiet. Suddenly I woke up when I heard aloud noise coming from the kitchen.
It was about two o’clock in the morning, so I got up frightened and walked slowly towards the door. I opened it quietly, that is when I saw my parents crossing the hall to the kitchen. So, I followed them, but when they heard my footsteps my mother shouted.
Quickly I answered her: (mum), she stopped shouting and hold my hand. After, we continue walking until we were in front of the kitchen door, my father opened it . we saw a body lying on the floor and the blood was covering all the place. Me and my mother started shouting and screaming until my mother was unconscious. Then the body stood up and laughed loudly. He was just my brother Hussain and was joking with us.
After minutes, my mother woke up and asked about what was going up. When she knew that he was just my brother, she became sctremely angry and punished him.
I was so happy for that.

WEDDING DAY
Weddings are very special occasions in almost every country. In Bahrain wedding ceremonies are happy times to all – families, friends and neighbors.
Preparations for the wedding start well beforehand. Relatives and friends of the couple take part in the preparations. If the wedding party is held in the groom’s house, the house is decorated with colorful lights. Sometimes a tent is put up near the house so that women can celebrate away from men. A special meal is prepared for the guests. Sometimes wedding parties are held in hotels, matams or special holes. Generally a lot of preparations are made before the wedding.
On the wedding day the guests don’t arrive before evenings. However the day starts early for the couple and their close friends. The bride either goes to the hairdresser or summons a lady hairdresser to come to her. Her best friends help her to get dressed and get ready for the wedding. The bright groom does the same. He has to wear a special cloak called “Beshet”. He goes to the place where the wedding is to be held early and waits for the guests to arrive. Guests congratulate the groom and his family then they are invited to have a meal. There are no dancing or singing in the groom’s party. However women and girls sing to the bride and may even dance. The atmosphere in the party is that of happiness and enjoyment.
In the end the bride go to live with her groom in his place. With little of tears because of leaving her family and home. However, with time she gets on with this situation and both of them, the groom and the bride, go on honeymoon.

So special activities are arranged, like the firework in the evening and the traditional activities, which are held in Bahrain national museum.
The most frightening day
I was fond of swimming but now when I think about it, I begin to shake. I was almost dead. I always thank the god that I’m still alive.
Last summer holiday, I went swimming with my friend to Babco beach. We were very excited. When we arrived there we put our things in the cottage then we began to patter. Than me they were ahead. I wanted to follow them. I began to draw. I shouted for help but none of them could her me. Two man was in the fishing boat swam award me. I was pulled to the seaside. I was nearly uncurious.
When I wakeup the next day, I was in the hospital. All the people – the doctor, my parents, my friends and the two men – where beside me. They were smiling at me. Since then, I decided never to swim. That was the most frightening experience in my life.

OWNING A CAR
Every family has one car or two nowadays because a car has a lot of advantages.
One of the most obvious advantages of owning a car is that a car allows people to more around freely. Furthermore, there is no need to wait for a bus or a taxi, so it saves time. More over owning a car is a comfortable way to travel especially in the winter because it can protect you from standing under the rain or in the cold. Last but not least, it will be safe at night, so you will not need to walk down a dark street to wait for a bus or take a taxi.
On the other hand, owning a car has a lot of disadvantages. First of all, owning a car can be very expensive. As well, the fuel cost a lot and it is expensive to maintain. Although it allows people to more around freely, it is very exhausting to drive in rush hour traffics. More over, it causes death to many people every day. Last but not least, if you leave your car in the street it might get stolen.
Although owning a car has some disadvantages, it has more advantages, so I think it is very important nowadays.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CITY ZOO
Keeping animals in a zoo has many advantages and disadvantages.
One of the most obvious advantages of keeping animals in a zoo that animals are looked after when they are sick, that can give them the best of care and protect them from diseases. Moreover, It’s a place where people can see and learn about animals. Finally, it can be a good place for scientists where they can study animals and their needs so that they can protect them being extinct.
On the other hand, keeping animals in a zoo has a lot of disadvantages. First of all, they are not happy and comfortable. Furthermore, animals are usually forced to do silly tricks to entertain visitors of the zoo. And that might cause them discomfort. Moreover, animals are kept in small dirt.
Finally, keeping animals in zoos can be the bet way to study them and saving them from extinct by breeding programs, but it would be better if they study the places and give the animals the chance to live in wild protected places.

One of the most obvious advantages of having TV is that it offers cheep and convenient entertainment, which nearly everyone can afford. What is more, TV can have a serious education side and have plenty of good affairs programmes .
On the other hand, having a television can have certain disadvantages. While it is good to have such cheap and convenient entertainment in your own living room , it may also mean the end of reading and conversation for large parts of the evening . Furthermore, although there are many good programmes on TV, that is often too much blood and violence on screen. Which can be harmful especially for children.
All in all, I think that having TV is important and watching it is useful if on knows how, when and what to watch
