 Topic: "Positive sides of Facebook"

 Manal Elhemdaoui     

     Nothing can be further from the truthe more than it is true that social media has become an essentiel part of everybody's life including Facebook. In other words, Facebook offers peole many favors by keeping them in touch with people in worldwide as well as allowing them to share thoughts and ideas.

   To begin with, Facebook is playing a crucial role in communication, in that it permits people to get in touch with each other thanks to chat rooms and free calls. In addition to that, il allows them to create new friendships and meet other people from different countries. Furthermore, Facebook helps to share knowledge, thoughts and ideas. To explain, many students use it to work and study together as groups by exchanging lessons, exercises and so on and so forth. Thus, Facebook encourages teamwork.

   Ultimately, it seems that Facebook has become of paramount importance in our life. I therefore urge people and especially students to use it and benefit from both its social and cultural services.

 Topic: "Should a mother work or stay at home?"

 Manal Elhemdaoui     

   It goes without saying that women today have attained prominent positions and become effective elements in society. That is to say, working women have got many career opportunities that allow them  a very successful and comfortable life. However, when it comes to mothers, career causes a contraversial issue between people who approve working mothers and those who criticize them and think that they should stay at home.

      With regard to the first position which defends the situation of working mother, it finds that working mothers have a strong personality and have the ability to face challenges and get more powerful. Besides, a working mother must be finnancially independent thanks to her career. In other words, she can make money and help her husband because she offers a second income for the family. She can therefore help cover great expenses.

     On the other hand, ther is the attitude of opponents, who reject the fact that a mother works, arguing that mothers have got to give priority to their children and their family. They must look after them and spend all their time by their children's side. To illustrate, when a mother works, her children get neglected and feel almost lonely and unhappy. Moreover, baby-sitter can't offer what a mother offers to her children, since no one can replace a mother or perform her role in her family. So, baby-sitters aren't the right solution.

     It follows from this that working mothers should combine between work and family, along with avoiding rolling away of their family so that they can conserve both of them : career and family.

 Topic: "Write about a person you adore"

 Manal Elhemdaoui     

In our daily activities, we often get in touch with the others, and from these relations we meet people whose interests, characteristics and behaviors are similar to ours. Then we choose them as friends.

Personally, I have got someone who becomes the best friend I have ever had . Her name is Imane ; she is  perfectly gorgeous. She is tall and slim, has black short hair and black eyes. She is always dressed in smart clothes, which makes her seem very stylish and dandy . That’s concerning her appearance.

As for her mentality, she is so much friendly and kind, as well as she does all what I ask her. She is very helpful . When I am in a dilemna, she stands by my side. She gives me advice to show me what to do. Moreover, she is completely reliable, I reveal all my secrets to her and she has never told anybody about them, because she respects my trust and tries to keep conservative . Imane is the only one who makes me smile in the painful moments.

I’m really proud of getting this friend who is like a treasure. I love her so much and I can’t imagine her loss someday ; she is my angel.

 

 Topic:"Using humour in the classroom"

 Manal Elhemdaoui     

     Many theories exist about what humour is and what social function it serves. But what is certain is that humour represents a very good way to provoke laughter and amusement. The majority of people are ready to laugh and have fun at anytime. However, the question of using humour at school causes a contraversial issue between those people who encourage the usage of humour in the classroom and those who criticize this behaviour. 

       In what concerns people who approve using humour in the classroom, they find that humour makes students more energetic, creative and positive, which makes them do better job and get excellente grades. Along with reducing stress and tension, humour creates a positive atmosphere in the class and facilitates communication between teacher and students. Therefore, students get more pleasure and become fond of studying. Moreover, when the teacher uses funny example to explain the lesson, students understand better and the gestures done by the teacher help them to memorize well.

 On the other hand, there are some people who think that humour shouldn't be used at school ,arguing that humour makes students distracted just because it is a waste of time.

Furthermore, students often don not respect the boundaries of joking. Thus, they may provoke chaos and distruptive behaviours. Besides, humour can make students lose interest of learning and affest their performance in the class while lazy students find a good opportunity to exaggerate and go on laughing. Personally, I believe that there is no life if humour does not exist, because it is a leading cause to create happiness, and wherever happiness exists, there is success.

    To sum up, humour plays an important role at school and it may be a smart teaching tool. It only depends on how teachers use it, in that they should use it smartly as well as appropriately.

Meriam Elghadi

    Using humour in the classroom has two sides. The first one is brilliant while the other one is a disaster. That is why this subject creates a debate between people. In other words, some people are for, while some others are against.

       To begin with , there are many people who believe that using humour is a positive thing. To say it differently , for them , humour is the best solution for breaking their daily routine ,because there are many students who feel feed up with the overseriousness in the classroom. Further , those people say that humour is a new way to make students more energetic and creative. Besides , humour is a perfect medicine for reducing student’s stress. To say it differently , students can be spontaneous with a humorous teacher but they cannot be so with a strict teacher. Along with atmosphere that humour creates , when teachers uses funny examples , students understand better. On the other hand, there are some people who think that humour should not be used in the classroom, and this for many reasons . For example , when humour is allowed during studies , it will be an opportunity for some lazy students to exaggerate on laughing , then the session might be a waste of time. Moreover, some students get distracted by humour which makes their performance low and the last reason but not the least is that a lot of students lose their interest in studying because of humorous atmosphere in classroom.

    All in all, it seems that humour has a positive side and a negative one, and that depends on how people use it .To be honest, I believe that being overserious all the times makes things difficult to deal with which means that the classroom must be well controlled by teacher .   

Belayachi Ghita

      Whether we should use humour in the classroom or not is    a controversial issue.

     Some category of people admit that humour makes students more energetic and active. It let there performance becomes creative. There soul gets open minded. It helps them to reduce stress and tension during the lessons. In other words, it facilitates communication between teachers and the students. Humour for those people is the key to creating a positive atmosphere. While other people find humour a waste of time in the class. In fact, they assume that being witty may affect students’ capability and cause chaos and disruptive behavior. Also, it can distract teachers from being serious and that is an easy chance for lazy students to make a mess in the class and ruin the lesson.

   After all, and as far as I am concerned having a good sense of humour, or cracking a joke can relieve boredom. But it should be well controlled by the teacher.

     We can't deny the fact that the mobile phone is of overriding importance in our lifes,but we also can not deny that it has desavantages the same way that  it has advantages. To say it diffrently, mobile phones are considerd a double-eged sword.

      To explain,mobile phones have a lot of advantages.For instance,it facilitates the communication with others. Also, it gives us access to the whole world, and to speak with our loved ones no matter how far they are . Neverthless, mobile phones have also desavantages . For exemple, using mobile phone in a constant way and a lot can make their users addicted to it .Besides, it can cause problems in the users' sight.

      To conclude, mobile phones are vital in our lifes.However, we should control our use of mobile phones , so that it won't effect us badly.

Imane Nashet

       Nobody can deny the fact that there are a lot of students who prefer to continue their study abroad,while others prefer to study at home . But behind any issue there are reasons .

      To begin with , in Morocco there are too many students who travel to different countries to continue their study, because they see their future there . Also, they think that Morocco does not offer them opportunities to work after  finishing the study . Besides , some parents advise their children to continue their study abroad to have exeperience and to be able to rely on themselves . Nevertheless , some students prefer to stay and study at home because they want to study in Moroccan schools and help their country to be better . Also , some students prefer to stay at home, because they feel secure here among Moroccan people and their families , and they cannot live away from their friends.

      To conclude , there are too many genious students in Morocco , who travel to study abroad .For me, we are MoroccanS , so we should help our country to be good .We must make efforts to be on the top of the world.

Assia Tessafi

      My heart sinks whenever i remember this excruciating axperience.

A year ago, I was studying when my sister came and broke the news of the death of my close friend.I  shouted and I  passed out.When I  woke up ,I found myself at home. I couldn't believe yet that my friend died and had let me alone.We would do everything together.We studied together at school and shopped, entertained, played and so on. It was truly a shok for me,that is why I stopped my studies and stayed at home in my room because I  was in the depths of despair.

After some days, my classmates visited me,and they advised me to return to school,because life is too short to waste and that we can't change something happened in the past and this is the law of life.this painful story is still vivid in my mind.

Shaimae Mezarra

    Whether we should use humour in the classroom or not is causing debate between people . Some people are for and others are against .

     A lot of people think that humour breaks the routine, because it gives the students the energy to study . It also facilitates communication between the classmates,and it makes learning enjoyable and pleasing, because when the teacher use funny examples, the students understand better .

But there are also people who think that humour is just a waste of time, and the students lose intrest in learning when humour is used .Sometimes , humour prevents communication between teachers and students , because using humour can cause disruptive behaviour and chaos .

      In my point of view , I think using humour is like a two-edged sword , and the teacher is the only one who decides which side to use .

Soumia Takhtoukh

      Some people are in favour of the use of humour in the classroom,while others think that it is counter-productive.

     There are a lot of people who are for humour in the classroom.To begin with,humour helps students to break the routine.In other words,it keeps learning more injoyable and pleasing.Also,it creates harmony between the teacher and the students.Besides,humourous teachers are very loved by their students.However,other people are against using humour in the classroom.Firstly,it could be a waste of time.Secondly,the use of humour may lead to loss of control.Thirdly,students lose the interest.Finally,some students love teachers who are strict and serious all the time.

     For me, humour in the classroom can be sometimes important,in that learning becames more injoyable . But sometimes it becames a source of disruptive behaviour.

Assia Tessafi

   Whether we should use humour in the classroom or not is causing debate between people.Some people are for and others are against.

     A lot of people believe that humour plays a crucial role in the classroom,because humorous teachers are loved by their students.Besides,when the teacher uses funny examples,students understand better and become engaged. Also, humour facilitates communication with the students,and gives them the energy to study. But others say that humour should be exluded from classroom,because they think that humour could be a wast of time.Also, when it is used,the students lose the interest in learning. Besides,some students love teachers who are strict and serious all the time and think that using humour may cause disruptive behaviour and chaos.

     For me,to achieve succes in our studies,we shouldn't be too much humorous or too much serious,but we must be in the middle.

Morocco is located in the north east of Africa, limited by Algeria and Mauritania. Its weather is usually warm and fresh. Moreover, Morocco is surrounded by two beaches where you can enjoy amazing soil, blue sky and the fresh air. However, in the north, you can see wonderful landscapes and so on and so forth. Besides, Moroccans are famous for hospitality and generosity, so I will put you up don’t worry. In Morocco you will find different customs and several traditions. For example, we eat a special meal every Friday called”couscous”, and women always put on “kaftans” in special celebrations. Concerning the interesting places and the famous cities, Marrakech and Rabat are the best. They both attract attention of millions of tourists, because there are many historical monuments like “Jamaa Lafna”,”Sawmaat Hassan” and “kotobiya”. If you want to see more about these monuments you can use Google image. In addition, the economy is prospering and growing more and more thanks to the agriculture, crafts and fish.

     Nobody  can  deny that foreign  languages are extremely important nowadays , especially English . And this importance is trace back to two main raisons  communication and studies .

   To start with , English , as everybody knows , has become an international language, which means that it must be learnt . To illustrate , we have got to pick up this language so that we would be able to communicate with all people worldwide without any difficulty . Moreover , people these days are curious about other cultures , traditions , and so on . And to discover other cultures , it requires a foreign language , and English can be very helpful . More than that it helps people to find more and good opportunities of occupations in any other country . Furthermore , English is necessary in studies as well . For instance , if someone wants to go study abroad,  in the United States for example , he needs to master this language very well in order to catch up quickly and easily , too . I have been told by a friend of mine who has went through a lot of difficulty when he was abroad and the reason was that he did not speak the English .

          All in all , English must be learnt by people whether for communications or studies , or even just for amusement . 

E-mails: "Students were asked to write an e-mail to a foreign friend, explaining Moroccans' way of dressing, greeting, and eating.

   Dear Mary,

         I’m writing this letter to answer your questions about Moroccan culture I think that the panic and the fear you’re feeling is quite normal, since it’s your first visit. But don’t worry, you will find out a new culture that I hope to surprise you

      Our culture is rich .we have many traditions and several beliefs. Concerning the accommodation, I‘ll put you up, because Moroccans are famous for hospitality. I want also to talk about Moroccan’s way of greeting. Women just say" hello” when they greet men, but exchange kisses on the checks when they greet each other. However, men shake hands and sometimes hug each other. In addition to that, Moroccans eat with the right hand and they name God before starting and thank Him once they finish. We have special meals in special occasions like « couscous », It‘s a meal that we eat every Friday. In Morocco, we have our way of dressing. That is to say, women dress up in « jellaba » and « kaftans » in special occasion. I advise you to visit my country Morocco, as you’ll enjoy yourself a lot, Keep in touch.

                                                                                        Hanane,

     Firstly, concerning your lodging, you do no need to worry about it, since I will put you up. With regard to Moroccans ‘ ways of greeting, women usually exchange kisses on the checks, whereas men sometimes kiss each other on the checks, shake hands and sometimes hug each other. As for table manners, we usually gather around one table and we always name God before start eating and we thank Him once we finish. Couscous is the most popular dish in Morocco and we usually prepare it on Friday. As for clothes, Moroccans are free in their choice, but they usually dress up in casual clothes, while in special occasions, they stick to traditional clothes as “Jallaba” and “Kaftan”.

       Finally, in Morocco people place a big importance on hospitality and they are renowned for their generosity, so be sure that you will spend the best and wonderful moments in your life.

                                                                                                                              Best wishes,

Argumentative Essay:

    "After being exposed to the techniques of how to develop an argumentative essay using a thesis statement, students were asked to elaborate on different topics that had been raised in the classroom. Students were endowed with certain expressions to help them write effectively."

     "To be honest, I got impressed while correcting the essays, for the students, to whom I am indebted, have shown great improvement and commitment to the techniques they had been taught. I have therefore found it difficult to choose two or three essays for publication, because many students managed to write well".

Topic: "Learning English today has become a necessity; it opens doors to people" Discuss the topic.

 Dounia Chichah (sc. pc1)

      It would be ridiculous to ignore the importance of learning English nowadays. This is traced back to the fact that it makes the communication with other cultures easier ,and It offers several opportunities  to people.

    

     To start with. English has become an international language, it is spoken in a large number of countries, so to communicate with others people and to acculturate ourselves necessitates learning English. Moreover, if we want to enter  the global workforce, we should learn English, because it is the dominant business language, which offers several opportunities  for  work. For example, my cousin speaks English fluently He completed his studies in China and now he is working as a translator

          

     All in all ,we need English to join the advanced and developed world, we can say that English is a passport to a prosperous future

 Imane Haddouti (sc. pc1)

     Nobody can deny the fact that learning English nowadays has become more important than it was in the past . In other words , English makes the communication with foreign cultures easier and better. Besides, it offers a lot of opportunities to people.         
    
        To begin with, English is the main language overseas. To explain, an illiterate  person nowadays is the one who can not speak  different languages . For exemple ,if you travel to a foreign country to do some business or for entertaiment , you must be ,at least, able to speak a language that others can understand , and of course the  language that many people speak is English, so we have to learn it . Besides , English offers a lot of oppurtunities to people, especially for youths ,in that it helps them to achieve their ambition and have great jobs . Also , it is necessary for students who want to finish their studies abroad . For instance , my cousin, Lamya, was always dreaming to go someday to America for finishing her stadies and having a successful life there , and when her dream came true , unfortunatly she had to let it go because of her being unable to speak English         
     
       All in all , English plays an important role in one’s life , so we must to learn it and practice it in our daily life . For me English is the best way to express ourselves and it leads us to a wonderful life        
Topic: "There are many reasons why sudents cheat in the exam"Discuss two reasons. 

  Somia Elkodadi (Pc. sc.2)

         It goes without saying that cheating in the exam has become a serious problem. This is traced back to two reasons which are carelessness and lack of self-confidence.

To start with, there are many students who do not estimate the importance of knowledge. They think studying is a waste of time, so they do not revise their lessons. For instance, my neighbor is a dead loss in all the subjects and he always gets poor grades. He usually spends his time playing football or chatting with his friends via the internet. As a result, when the time of the exam comes, he cannot revise all the lessons, so he resorts to cheating in order to get good marks like the other students and to satisfy his parents. Besides, lack of self-confidence is could be another reason which pushes students to cheat in the exam. To explain, some students think that they cannot do well in a test. Although they revise all their lessons, they imagine that they will fail and their only option to succeed is to cheat. By contrast, students who are self confident believe that they should study hard so as to get good marks using their own abilities and skills.

All in all, carelessness and lack of self-confidence are the principal reasons of cheating in the exam. But students need to be aware of the drawbacks of cheating. Also, they should take their studies more seriously and try to get good marks by their own abilities not by cheating, because it is not the key to success.

       Wahiba El Mansouri(Pc. sc.2)

    Nothing can be further from the truth more than it is true that cheating in the exam has become a serious problem. To say it differently, this problem is ascribed to the pressure to get good marks and lack of confidence.

    
   To begin with, some students always desire to have good grades even through cheating. To explain, most learners who cheat usually have a big stress from their family to get good marks and to succeed. Also some students fear that the classmates who cheat will outperform them, so they cheat too. They do anything they can to get high grades. Besides, lack of confidence is another important reason why students cheat. For example, my neighbor has always prepared her lessons very well, but in the test she cheats because she thinks that she will forget something and she is not smart enough to do well in a test.

     
  To speak the truth, cheating in the exam has become a daily behavior in students’ life, so we must eliminate it because if we cheat, we cheat ourselves.

                                                                                       

 Hanan Chaudna (PC. SC. 1)    

   It is true that cheating in the exam has become a serious problem in our schools. In fact, this problem is traced back to laziness and difficulty of the curriculum.

     
     To begin with, laziness is one of the reasons why students resort to cheating. To explain, many students have poor standard in most subjects, especially in math and physics. They cannot catch up with all lessons. For instance, my cousin cheated in some exams, because he could not memorize all his lessons. Besides, difficulty of the curriculum is another reason why students fall back on cheating. They try to solve the problem this way. Students who cheat think that the program is too difficult to memorize and keep by heart. To illustrate, my friends do not do all their exercises, but they cheat in the exam. They want to succeed by hook or by crook.

     
  To conclude, cheating is a serious problem. We should combat it.

  

Elyabadri Oulid  (PC. SC. 1)     

    Nobody can deny the fact that cheating has become widespread in the exam.This big problem can be traced back to the pressure to succed and difficulty of curriculum.
    To begin with, the pressure to succeed is one of the reasons why students cheat in the exams, In other words, some illiterate families insist on their children to get good marks. That is why students want to achieve this dream by hook or by crook. Besides, difficulty of the curriculum is another reason why students cheat in the exam. That is to say we study a lot of and more difficult program. For example, we have twelve lessons in math and twenty four lessons in physics, a fact that drives many students to resort to cheating.
     To be honest, this problem is increasing. So we should stop cheating and study seriously

Oumaima Chetouani (sc. pc 1)

      Nobody can deny the fact that cheating in the exam is a serious  phenomenon that is widespread among students nowadays . And this is traced back to laziness and difficulty of the curriculum .

      To start with , laziness is a major reason that leads students to resort to cheating . For example , some students want to get a good mark in the exam without making any efforts . or they do not show intrest in their lessons . Moreover , the difficulty of the curriculum also plays part . For instance , the program includes too many lessons, so it makes students unable to memorize them , so they fall back on the easiest way which is cheating .

       To conclude , cheating must be solved by the right solutions , so that students would rely on themselves and meet their real standard.

Rajae Hammouti (sc. pc.1)

      Nothing can be more further from the truth more than it is true that cheating in school is a serious problem which compromises the students' standard. In fact , this problem is basically attributed to the difficulty of the curriculum and to the pressure to succeed .

     To begin with, students fall back on cheating because of the difficulty of curriculum . In other words , there are a lot of lessons whish excede the students’ ability. Also, the curriculum is  so long that students find it challenging to revise all the lessons, so  they resort to cheating. Besides, students are under the pressure of their parents to succeed. Even if they are good at the subjects , they cheat in order to have good  marks and not to be rebuked by their parents . Also, nowadays we notice that many students cheat and they have the highest grades, which motivates students to cheat and to succeed  by hook or by crook.

       
      To conclude, cheating can affect negatively students and it undermines their standard . That is why officials should find solutions  to this serious problem. 

Iman Boukhnafis (sc. pc.2)

    Nobody can deny the fact that cheating in the exam is a serious problem .This problem is basically traced back to the difficultly of the curriculum and indifference.

     To start with, indifference is one of the reasons why students cheat in the exam. To illustrate, many student are indifferent to their study and fall back on cheating, because they do not revise their lessons . They spend all time playing and having fun and they forget about their study. Besides, the difficultly of the curriculum is another reason that drives students to cheat in the exam. To explain, some students have too many lessons, a fact that makes them unable to cope with or memorize them all, which eventually leads them to cheat.

         Frankly speaking. Cheating is a serious problem. We must avoid it

     To begin with, humour is healthy for men and women morally. To illustrate, laughter makes us forget about our problems; it makes us in another world in which there is no trouble, because it is a powerful antidote to negative emotions. Moreover, it makes us recognize the value of life by thinking that everything goes for better. It also builds our self-confidence and makes our life vital ,and it relieves boredom as well.

   Whenever I remember that incident, I really burst into laughter. Several years ago, my mother and my aunt decided to visit our relatives in the afternoon. So, they let me alone with my little cousin. At the beginning I gave him a lot of games and some sweets in order to amuse him.  I switched on the TV, then I watched a movie. While he was playing with his games, suddenly I did not hear any sound. Honestly, I got so worried, because he was just four years old and he did not know anything. I began searching for him in every part of the house, but it was vain, as if the earth had swallowed him. Then, I told all our neighbors to help me look for the child. Consequently, all the people whom I knew  participated with me to seek in other neighborhoods, but he was not there. As a result, I decided to phone the policeman, but unfortunately he did not answer. So I was obliged to call my mother and my aunt, and told them all what had happened with the details. When they came back, I quickly opened the door, but the unexpected thing is that the kid was hiding under the table and got out when he saw his mother. Our anxiety changed into roars of laughter.

I could not endure the shock . I felt paralysed . I went to my grandfather's house . All my relatives came and everyone was crying . I was sad , lost and bursting uncontrollably into tears . After my grandfather 's death I lost interest in everything . I felt hopeless and depressed . And  I realised that nothing is precious in life . My grandfather's death was  a difficult experience for me , but it taught me that death is inevitable and that I should be hopeful and accept the ups and downs of life .

       It is unbelievable how we make plans for a day and do not think about how those plans can easily be taken away .We will never think about them until we experience them. A few years ago, my family decided to visit our relatives in Fes. So, we started to pack our luggage. Whenever the holidays get closer, the more excited my family and I get. Therefore, we made a program of how we would spend the time there. After nine hours of a long trip, we eventually arrived in Fes. That night the whole family gathered. We had had a lot of fun before we got interrupted by a phone call. My father answered it. All of a sudden, his faced expressions changed and after a few moments, he broke the shocking news as I could remember him saying  that his mother had passed away .  Unexpectedly, the room went into silence. I did not believe what was going on. I felt paralyzed. I was standing in the middle of the room not knowing what to do , Then I saw my father in the worst status ever , He was all in tears. He was weak. I had never thought that I would see my father like that. I wished that it had been just a joke , but unfortunately it was not.  I still remember this incident as if it had happened yesterday. It started as a happy journey and ended up in a way that no one was ever expecting .

     Whenever I recall that embarrassing moment , I feel ashamed and stupid .One day in a class of science , while the teacher was explaining the lesson , one of my classmates cracked a joke . I could not control myself, because it was so funny . So, I burst into laughter with a very loud voice. Suddenly, I found myself in a difficult situation, with students scowling at me , because that was one of my habits . Ms. Fatima , our teacher, became angry. She threw her pen on the floor, and she looked at me with a frowning face and a twinkle in the eye and wondered if she was a clown . At that moment, I became speechless. I did not find the suitable words to answer her. After a minute of silence , she opened the door for me. I took my bag and I left away.  At the end of the class, I came back to explain what the laughter was about  and to apologize to her . Then , she reprimanded me for my indifference and carelessness . Finally, after ten minutes’ scalding , she accepted my apology after she had made sure it would not happen again , because the next time , she swore that she would punish me .  From then on I  learnt that we should always bear in mind the boundaries, in that  laughter no longer matches with the time of seriousness .

   Mr. Abdullah was one of my professors. He impressed me from the first time I knew him. Though he taught me years ago, I still remember him well. Physically, he is a tall person, getting dressed in a black suit. He has a round face, small black eyes and a straight black hair. He was not only a perfect teacher, but he was also a skilled swimmer and a talented football player. Also, he was a great writer. I read many of his poems and articles. He is really a gifted person. He is intelligent and successful and always in search for knowledge and wisdom. This does not only reflect my point of view, but of those who knew him as well. All people who know him would admit that Mr. Abdullah is modest and a very sociable person. Also, he is reliable and honest. That is why he would inspire others with his sensitive and optimistic personality.

Topic: Cultural values of Morocco 

Asmaa Dihi 

Class: LM 1

  

       It’s true that Moroccan culture comprises many important values which are deeply-rooted in our culture. Hospitality and tolerance as two main values that characterize Moroccan culture.

       To start with, tolerance is one of the most important value in Moroccan culture. To explain, people in Morocco are the friendliest; they offer tolerance and warmth for the others regardless of their nationalities. For instance, last summer I visited Marrakech, the well-known touristic city in Morocco. I saw there how Moroccans live and treat foreign visitors.Besides, Moroccan people are hospitable and generous. For example, many foreign neighbors are treated as if they were members of the family. Sometimes, they are invited by Moroccan neighbors to have dinner or to drink tea and watch T.V. In a word, in Morocco people place big importance to hospitality.

    It follows from this that Moroccan culture is rich of great values. So I advise all people to visit Morocco in order to know more about culture because it is worth discovering.

    Dear Mary,

        I am very glad to hear that you’re coming to this multicultural country. The panic you’re feeling is quite normal, since it’s your first visit. But you needn’t worry that much. I hope the following tips would help you.

   First, don’t worry about lodging, I‘ll put you up. Concerning Moroccans’ way of greeting, women exchange kisses on the checks, while men sometimes kiss each other on the checks, shake hands, and sometimes hug each other, but some women do not shake hands with men; they just say “Hello”. With regard to table manners,  Moroccans eat with the right hand, and they name God before they start eating and thank  Him once they finish .Besides, Moroccans have a special dish called “Couscous” on Friday. As for Moroccans’ way of dressing, They usually dress up in casual clothes, while in special occasions, they stick to traditional clothes as”Jallaba”and “Kaftan”. I’m sure you’ll discover more about our culture once you visit me. I am looking forward to seeing you in Morocco soon

                                                                                              

                                                                                                  Best wishes,

 Dear Mary,

         First of all I would like to thank you for your last letter, and I ‘m so glad to hear that you have finally decided to visit me in my country, Morocco. For this reason I shall explain some of our traditions in order to make you get acquainted and ready for your visit.

        Firstly, with regard to your lodging, you don’t need to worry about it, as I shall put you up. I’ll offer you a very large and comfortable room.
I think this will be more comfortable than checking in at  a hotel. Concerning the way we greet each other here, we just say ‘salamo Alaykom’ translated in English as ‘peace upon you’. Besides, men hug each other, whereas women exchange kisses on the checks. As for food, couscous and soup ‘Harira’ are the most popular dishes in Morocco. We usually gather around one plate and we always name God before we start eating and we thank Him once we finish.  Concerning clothes, we usually dress up in casual clothes, but in special occasions, we dress up in traditional clothes. For instance, women put on a dress called ‘Keftan’ and women put on ‘Jellaba’. You may use the internet to know more about these traditional clothes.

     Finally, Moroccans are so tolerant, generous, and helpful. So be sure that you will spend the most amazing and wonderful moments in your life.

               ‘about advantages and disadvantages of the internet’                           

        Nothing can be further from the truth more than it is true that the internet has become part of us, and life without it would be difficult. Yet, it is a double-edged sword.

       To start with, the internet has many advantages. It has made the world a small village. For instance, we can share the news that happen all over the world, and we can establish relationships with people from different countries and different cultures. Besides, the internet provides us with useful information. This helps us enrich our knowledge and get ideas about some topics that we have never heard before. The internet is also a means of entertainment. In other words, we may spend our spare time playing computer games or chatting with friends. However, the internet has many drawbacks. It encourages laziness, in that people rely heavily on the internet to write about certain topics or prepare their assignments. The internet also makes our relationships less strong and much colder, because we seldom exchange visits. We only exchange greetings with our relatives via the internet; we hardly pay visits.

      Frankly speaking, the internet has benefited us in many ways. Nevertheless, we should be aware of its drawbacks.

         about a review of a book

       Black beauty is a novel written by Anna Sewell in 1877. She was born in Norfolk. She began learning about horses when she was a young child. So Black Beauty came as a result of this infatuation with the world of horses.

        Black Beauty is a story related by a horse, a ponny, called Black Beauty. His mother warns him that a horse’s life is often difficult. During his life , Black Beauty goes through many adventures and meets different kinds of people, some of them are kind and others are cruel. Despite the hard circumstamces he goes through, nothing can break Black Beauty’s spirit.

      To my mind, Black Beauty is a catching novel and it is worth reading. It gives us a moral lesson related to kindness and sympathy that animals are need of.

Salma Askittou writes:

    about a review of a book

      Alf liela wa Lila, translated as Thousand of Night and Night, is one of the popular stories in the Arab literature, and whose writer is still yet unkown. It was written through many years.

     The story talks about a king who was sexually frustrated, in that in each night he used to marry a woman and soon after he would kill her. The king went on satisfying his sexual pleasure, marrying women and killing them. But one day, he got married to a very beautiful, yet intelligent woman who changed his habit. bIn other words, in each night the girl would relate to him an endless story and the king being caught by the girl’s narrative would long for the end of the story. In the following night, Shahrazad would finish the story and begin another endless one just to save herself and the other girls from the fate the previous women had met.

     In my opinion, the book is really worth reading and it is useful for people’s life as well.
