Writing from Kuwait

141 Sections 5 and 62 Fall Semester 2007 – 2008

There are Many Uses of the Internet by Latifa Mubarek

The Internet is one of the fastest technologies nowadays. Everyone should have a computer and use the Internet for many reasons. First, if you don’t know about it, you can’t keep up with the world around you. Second, the Internet makes our life much easier and more comfortable. Third, the Internet saves us time because, with just a click, we can get whatever we want. In addition, work on it is a lot of fun for anyone. Furthermore, there are millions of websites for all, no matter if he or she is old or young, a boy or a girl. It has every thing and makes everyone satisfied. Finally, it is important for humanity and helps make our lives easy , comfortable and fun. I advise everyone who doesn’t know how to use it to practice and know how to work with it to keep up with the world.

The Internet by Abrar Mohamed

The Internet is a way by which you can travel to wherever you like without using your legs, but only your fingers. It’s also a source of unlimited information that you may need. There are many uses of the Internet. You can connect to outside countries and know different people of different nationalities. You can know about these countries’ cultures, languages and even their way of behaving. Moreover, the Internet can be used for shopping, e.g. buying clothes, games, books and even electronics. In addition, it helps people to have fun and fill up their free time by buying lots of games and by chatting. Finally, it is a wide world web that be used in positive or negative ways, so I advise everyone to use this means of communication positively.

Traveling around the World

Traveling around the world has various benefits. First, it can help you know other countries’ cultures, beliefs and their lifestyle. Second, when you travel to a country, you must at least be able to know the basic words, so you can deal with the people there. This may improve one’s self confidence, social skills, and maybe start new relationships. In addition, traveling is a good way of having fun and feeling comfortable, so if you live in a hot country, and you travel to a cold one, you will have the feeling of refreshment and happiness. I think it is a way of changing your mood. Finally, I think you should travel to any country you feel you will like and have fun there.

Ibn Battuta by Latifa Mohamed

Ibn Battuta was one of the greatest travelers in the world. He was called Abu Abdullah Mohamed Ibn Battuta, and was born on the 25th February, 1304, in Morocco, his country. Later he began to travel in 1325 and went on haj to Mecca first. Then he went to India, Indonesia, Central Asia and East Africa. He traveled 117,000 km. In 1377, Ibn Battuta died in Marrakesh, Morocco. Finally, after many years, his book “Rihla” was translated into western languages. in the 1800s.

The Benefits of Traveling to Other Countries by Mohamed Adel

Traveling has a lot of benefits which can make you seem to be a genius with your friends. First, when you travel to other countries, you can speak other languages and see and know about many cultures and the traditions of the countries you visit. Also, if you travel, you can enjoy your time and sometimes you can lose weight. You will be healthy from walking too much. In the end, I hope to travel to France to see the Eiffel Tower and visit the old museums.

The Benefits of Traveling to Other Countries by Abdulrahman Aziz

There are many benefits of traveling to other countries. First, when you travel, you learn about that country’s culture by going to the museums and also seeing the streets. Second, you will spend your time doing good things and having fun. Third, you will see new places in the country you visit. Next, you will improve your language or you will learn or know new languages from the people there when you meet them and know about how they live. Finally, you will know about the history of that country by meeting people and going to places that will show you its history. In my opinion, those are the benefits of traveling to other countries.

Benefits of Traveling by Bader Nouri

Traveling to other countries has many benefits. First, if you travel, you can learn how to communicate with other people. Second, when you travel, you can see many beautiful places. Third, traveling helps you know about other people’s cultures. You can also learn their language. Moreover, people travel to enjoy themselves, while some people travel to feel comfortable and be joyful. Finally, you can buy things that you can’t find in your own country.

The Benefits of Traveling to Other Countries by Ali Basel

Today I’m going to talk about the benefits of traveling to other countries. First, you will learn more about new cultures and customs. Second, you will meet new people. Third, you will communicate with people and learn more about them. Finally, you will visit new places, but the most important thing is that you can improve your English.


Learning by Traveling by Aqeel M0stafa

Traveling is a form of getting out of the household which the person lives in and into another place outside the country by a variety of means of transportation, like cars, airplanes, buses, ships, and animals. When someone stays in one place for too long, he or she becomes more and more predictable, so one of the benefits of traveling, especially abroad, is getting away from a predictable lifestyle and becoming a mystery to others, because I personally hate it when someone or anyone knows what I am going to do. Sometimes all that a predictable person wants is to have the element of surprise. There are many other benefits of traveling, like getting a chance to practice a foreign language, if one has a background in it, and one can learn about the habits of the other countries and maybe take some of them back with him if they are acceptable in the society where he lives. There are many other benefits of traveling, but the most important one is to get to know other people and make new friends, because there is nothing more important than knowing that you have someone out there who will be there for you in your hour of need, In conclusion, if someone wants to travel, he or she will have to prepare himself or herself for many adventures, whether small or big.

The Benefits of Traveling to Other Countries by Ahmed Saleh

Most people love traveling to other countries and prefer to travel abroad more than to stay at home. Traveling has a lot of benefits and advantages that I will talk about. First, it is the best way to relax and be away from the routines of life. Second, it’s a great chance for shopping, especially for women. Third, some people like to identify other people’s cultures and their customs and also maybe their language. Fourth, some students like to join foreign universities that have good educational systems. Fifth, if you have a fortune and want to improve it, try investing it in foreign companies in other countries. Finally, my advice to everybody is to try traveling abroad to explore other cultures and have a nice rest in one of the countries in our great world.

Traveling to Other Countries by Fahad Ahmed

There are many benefits of traveling to other countries. First, you can meet new people and new friends, so that you can learn about new customs and traditions. Second, you can visit tourist places, like museums, mountains and restaurants. There are also many things to learn from the people about their way of living and their celebrities, if they have any. You can tell them about your culture and about your customs. Finally, you can make good friendships with the people there. Finally, I advise you to travel to any country to learn about it, teach the people there about your culture, and invite them to your country.


Traveling to Other Countries by Fahad Al Aradi

Traveling around the world is the most exciting thing, in my opinion. We can go everywhere in the world and to any country. Nowadays it is much easier to go to any country by getting a visa. There are many benefits to traveling to other countries, like communicating with others and knowing a lot about other cultures and different people in different countries. Second, traveling makes me increase my English and helps me speak it well by communicating with others. Many people start a small project by importing things and ideas from the country which they have visited. Finally, I take many useful ideas and habits from every country I visit, e.g. different lifestyles, and I also make others know a lot about my country by talking about it.

Traveling to Other Countries by Mishari Adel

Nowadays, people in this world like to travel, and it is the favorite hobby of many people. We must know that there are seven benefits that a person can learn when traveling. Some of these are: learning a new language and some nice vocabulary, so traveling helps us to communicate with others. We can know about new food, e.g. when someone travels to Japan, he can taste Japanese food, or Italian and American food in Italy and America. The best benefit is that when we travel, we can know about their traditions, for example what they wear and what their routines. Finally, I advise all who read this paragraph to travel anywhere to have some new benefits.

The Best Day of My Life by Bedour Bader

My graduation from secondary school was the best day of my life. On this day, my dream came true. I passed all of my exams and I got high marks, so that I could go to the university. My father held a big party. He invited all of our relatives and friends. They brought flowers and presents for me. All the family were proud of me. My mother bought me a pink dress. We spent a lovely time singing and laughing. When I remember that day, my heart leaps with happiness.

The Benefits of Using Laptops by Gadeer Jassim

Using a laptop has many benefits. First, the laptop is a very useful device. It has become more accurate than many computers. Second, it is small and fast, so it is very easy to carry it anywhere and we can use it in shops, offices and the university. Third, it helps us to solve many problems. We can do a lot of work anywhere. Moreover, we can keep a lot of information in its memory. Finally, it is a very careful device that never makes mistakes. I advise everyone to buy a new, small laptop. It is a wonderful invention.

Laptops by Anwar Fahad

The laptop is a useful invention. I use it in many places. First, I can get more information, I can also communicate with another person, and I can use it for my studies. Second, I can spend my free time in a good way. Also, I can learn more about other cultures and different subjects. Moreover, I can finish all my homework by using it. Finally, I can enter Internet websites to find out about many things. I advise everybody to use it because it is easy to use.
