     Father was working in business and one day the house was quiet and the phone range. The father answered; it was the manager in his work. He told him that he had to move to Australia because of problems in his work.
      Jack at first did not accept it but after thinking he decided to accept that and move himself and all his family to Australia. They traveled in a ship. After a few days, they rode the ship in the central sea and then a strong storm destroyed the ship. Jack, the father did not survive. But, the mother and her sons survived and they woke up and found themselves on an island.
     On that night that they arrived on the island, they were attacked by wolves and the mother was able to protect them. Then, the mother tried to protect her children; because of that she built a small house in the top of a big tree.
      The island was empty and no one was on it except for animals. Sarah tried to get the food that was available for her children to eat. Her son Tom started to help his mother. After that they thought of a way to get out of the island.They decided to built a small boat.
       However, they tried to succeed in building and finding food to stay alive. Her small daughter Lin was very sick and her mother did not know how to help her; because of that her daughter died. Sarah was not sure if she should feel sadder about her daughter dying or because she was stuck on this island.
        Finally, after three months on this island the boat was ready. They went and completed their trip until they saw a big ship and moved until they noticed them and saved them. After all this trip, Sarah and her son survived.

       Before I begin the story; this story happened to me, when I was a child with my brother and cousin. Actually this story talks about my cousin whose name is Iman. And this story was a lesson for me. And now I teach my son about this story.

     One day when i was 6 years old, i played outside with my brother and my cousin "Iman". Iman and I were the same age, and my brother was younger than us. While we played on the play ground, one car stopped in front of us. And a man and woman got out from the car. Then the woman took from her pocket some candy. And she asked us to came to take the candy. At this moment, I rememberd what my mother tought me. She always said, "Don't take any thing from strangers". I warned my brother and my cousin. My cousin listened to me but my brother didn't listen to me. He went to them and he took a kandy and he came back. Nothing happened to him. In this time my cousin said, ''See Raniyah, nothing happened to your brother. I want to go to take a candy". Then she went to them, but the surpprise is they kidnapped her and ran away. But the question is, Why did they kidnap her but my brother not?!!. Because she was wearing gold jewelry. After that the policeman came to the incident place. And he asked me to describe them. but they didn't find her until the middle of the night. Finally, they found her in the middle of no where. In addition, they had stolen all things from her.

  math by OMAR

   I will talk about my experience as a student of math.

      For me, my problem in math is who teaches me the math? That is because, if the teacher is good in math he teaches us very well, but their are a lot of teachers who taught me math. I didn't understand anything from them. On the other hand, the best teacher who taught me math was in college. He gave us just one exercise, then he wrote another exercise and we tried to answer and I never forget that teacher; because of him I like math a little more.

      In conclusion, the math depends on who teaches me the math.
 
  math is important in our life by AYED
   Math is important in our lives due to its usefulness through application. Although many times it is challenging and does not seem entertaining, it can be applied to nearly every portion of our life. To understand math is to understand the intricacies that tie things together by numbers-- and there are plenty of those as everything has a numeric value in some way, and anything that does not can be placed into categories which can then be subsidized using mathematics. Once understood, principles in math can help us anywhere from our everyday mental math addition and subtraction, to leaving a proper tip for a waiter, to constructing a building or being used in quantum physics. Math is everywhere, thus it is important in our life.

  Marland Trip
     I was very happy to pass level two last semester. I planned to visit my cousin in Maryland. So, I called him and he was very happy to hear that I was coming. However I decided to drive there alone by my car. It was a 15 hours drive to reach my destination. When I arrived to Maryland, my cousin was very happy to see me. Because the last time I saw him was 13 years ago. I was so tired and was ready to sleep. While I was sleeping, my cousin`s roommate woke me up and he said that he heard someone breaking my car`s window. For while I did not get what did he said, then I realize that my car got stolen. I remembered that my phone was not with me. It was in the car, but now it got stolen. So I called the police to report what happen. They took all of the information that they needed and told me they will keep me updated if anything will happen. But now, I had to pay for everything. I had to spend all my money on this problem. My trip to New York has also been cancelled, because I was broke. I had to call my parents to send me more money to buy new phone. In the next day I received the money and bought what was stolen and fixed my car window. Even when it was a really tough vacation, my cousin helped in many things. I hope that this incident will never happen again.

“Unbelievable Story of Love” by Denice Martinez Tejada

     Two years ago, in a Communication Class, in a beautiful spring at Central Venezuelan University, a sophomore student started one of her most interesting stories in her life.

     A forty-year-old teacher called Miguel taught every student in his classes how to communicate well with all people. Most of the time the old teacher used one of his student‘s name to set the example of his course. This attractive student was named Mary. She was always angry with her old teacher, because he putted bad example, like this, “Mary needs a boyfriend who controls”, “Mary’s mother is angry because her daughter has bad friends”. She didn’t like it.

     One day in a difficult class, before the class started, the young student, Mary, told her classmates, very sad!, “I don’t like the Communication teacher because he always gives examples by using my name. I feel bad. Sometimes I think that, our teacher Miguel, only teaches for me”. Her smart classmate told her, “Don’t pay attention to the examples. He only tries to be friendly with you”. “He is the best teacher here”, said her best friend.

     When the good educator started his class that day, he informed that in two weeks he was going to be absent. He had to travel to the Unites States to complete his Doctorate in Education. He assigned them a lot of homework to do while he was absent. In this moment, the lovely student, Mary, said very annoying, “Who is going to teach us our course in Communication?” Then she added, “If you can’t work, don’t work! Immediately, her old smart professor answered and told her, “Be careful when you speak with me. I am your teacher. You must respect me and please don’t say anything more about it”. All intelligent students were very quiet! sss… … … 

     After the class, the pretty Mary was thinking about her old and handsome teacher, but she didn’t know why.

     When the old teacher returned from his trip, the beautiful Mary felt well and was very happy, but she didn’t show it. 

     One night, Mary was using her Facebook very late at night and so was her teacher. All of a sudden, they started to chat. He wrote, “Hi Mary, how are you?” She answered, “Hi teacher, I’m fine”. This conversation was very long. They chatted about the Communication Class, about her, about him. Unexpectedly, they started to chat about love. He told her that she was very beautiful, smart… and that he was in love with her. She said to him, that she was in love with him. He answered, “Great, but we have two problems: you are very young, and I am your teacher. This nice sentiment is impossible”. She was thinking… uhhh… well, it is true. Just imagine that we didn’t talk about our feeling today. 

     Two months later, the clever teacher invited the fresh student to have lunch at a fancy restaurant on a Saturday, and she accepted. They ate together. Inadvertently, one of Mary’s friends saw them and took a picture and posted it on Facebook. On following Monday, the director of the University called the teacher Miguel and told him with very strong voice, “Don’t you know the rules here? Now we have a problem! You don’t see other woman! Why you are with your student?” The director was very angry and made a decision. For you have done that, “you will never work here again!” the director yelled very strong. The old teacher didn’t say anything. He was only thinking of his love, Mary. “For Mary I could do all”.

     Mary felt bad because she thought what happened with her love, Miguel was her fault. And then, Miguel and Mary talked about their situation and made a decision about it. Miguel told Mary, “I didn’t want to interrupt your dreams of your life. That is why I decided to go to other place because I’m older than you. I lost my work, but you never forget that I love you. Immediately, the beautiful Mary answered, “I understand your situation, but you have not thought about my feeling. I love you too; I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Suddenly, Miguel said, “Serious? Really? Are you sure? Uhhhmmm. I am very happy!!! Do you want to marry me my princess? “Of course”, she said. And then, they got married and live very happily ever after.

"Man And Women Should Do Sport " by Naif Saleh Z.

       Today i want to talk about women in Saudi Arabia being allowed to cmpete in championship. Actually,in my country the most famous sport is soccer.However,in my country there are many others sports such as soccer,vollyball,etc.But,women do not play with each other.For example,women can not play basketball in the street.Also,championships are not allowed either.In addition,women in Saudi Arabia can not compete in the street to play basketball .On the other hand,if women want to play basketball,it should be shered with females only in a close area.For example,there are many clubs in Saudi Arabia,only for women.I believe that it is not fair for women. Because,the women is can do whatever she wants when she reaches 21 years old.For these reasons, the femal are not allowed to participate in championship.

  sport I love.. by banan
         Swimming is a sport I love, and I do it always in my free time. First, I think swimming when the weather is very hot makes me so excited for that. Second, I think it is a safe sport and it is a very nice activity to spend your free time with, because in swimming there is a lot of playing you can do inside.
        Also, the second best sport is ice skating because in my country there is no ice, and i think it is so enjoyable and safe when we wear the helmet and pads on the head and legs to be okay.
Also, I like to experience new things and since I came here to the USA, I could try for the first time in my life to skating on ice, and I enjoyed myself with that.
        Third, my best sport is hand ball, because it is a very fun activity to play with a friend and it does not finish your energy and you  do not feel exhausted because it is just you moving your hand and catching the ball from another player and moving it around to another player.
       These three sports that I mentioned above are my favorites. I prefer doing them more than other sports.

Faithful to His God  " By Ju Ju" 

       In the sixth century, there was a princess, Zubiadah, who was the wife's king of Islamic Empire. She was very generous especially with poor people and also was wise. One day, there were two men in the City Market, one of them was always asking God to grant him and his children sufficient food and money and the other man was asking her, Zubiadah. 

      She knew about their situations either who was asked God or he was asked her, so she decided to give them a lesson particularly who had relied on her. She sent two Dnaneers, a name of their currency in those days, to the man who asked God and sent a grilled chicken, she also put inside it ten Dnaneers, to who asked her. The man who was asking her felt disappointment because she didn't give him enough money he desired and every time he sold the grilled chicken in two Dnaneers to the man was asking his God. 

      After ten days, she came to the man, who was asking her and she said "How are you after ten Dnaneers during ten days?" He told her every day he sold the grilled chicken to the other man, who was asking God. She drove him to be shocked when she told him about the fact of ten Dnaneers inside that chicken! However, she explained for him the necessity of depending on God and not people because that man, who was asking his God, was faithful to the ability of his God to give him whatever he wants. But you, who was asking her, relied on me without realizing I am a person as similar as you are. So my abilities don't ensure for you whatever you wish.

                        
 
  Business In Carbondale by Raniyah
           Walmart is one of the most popular markets in Carbondale and the all of the United States. There are many reasons that made the Walmart one of the successful businesses. I have three reasons that support my notion. First, everything you want you can find in Walmart, such as kitchen purposes, bathroom tools, clothes, and the most popular equipment. Moreover, Walmart has international commodities that meet all the foreign demands, for instance, Chinese, Mexican and Indian food whether for personal or business uses (International Restaurants). Second, Walmart always has the lowest prices compared to many big markets that I visited. On the top of that, it provides more often offers and discounts for the essential commodities. Third, it is characterized by the high quality with customer’s satisfaction. For personal experience, once I bought a device for the kitchen and after a while this device had a malfunction. I returned the device back to the customer service of Walmart, and then they took it back immediately and replaced it with a new one. Consequently, I realized why Walmart is very popular among people. Finally, I like Walmart markets. In my country there are many huge markets the same as Walmart, but not like Walmart’s success. I believe, the policy ​​that is utilized in Walmart is the main reason that fulfilled this success. Walmart has a successful business for several reasons which are quality, experience, service and good management; furthermore, Walmart provides prices affordable for everyone, whether rich or poor.

At the same time, He was interested in basketball. He thought that he would get a scholarship if he played well in the national championship. Also, he needed to prove himself in this game since this was the best gift to his father who taught and supported him for many years.
    Frank didn’t have tall or strong body like other players. He had skill and was fast. In addition, he was training and preparing very well. He played as a play maker. There was another player named James who played in the same position. James had a good height and good body build. Also, the coach of the team always preferred James to play. Frank wanted a chance to show his abilities and skills but he couldn’t get it.
    The coach induced James to use stimulants that helped him to play well. Frank was learning about this situation, but he didn’t say anything to anyone because he loved his team. In spite of all these problems, Frank still dreamed and trained very well.
    In the final match, James played the first and second quarter and then was injured.  There was only Frank was able to play in this position. Unfortunately, the team was losing, but the chance was coming and he must take advantage of it to change all his dreams to reality. His play was fantastic. He didn’t just score or pass, but also he encouraged his friends to do their best. All his problems changed to power. He was a real leader inside the stadium. Finally, his team won and got the championship. Frank got his goals because of his persistence and hard work. He didn’t give up or forget his dreams.

      Marland Trip
         I was very happy to pass level two last semester. I planned to visit my cousin in Maryland. So, I called him and he was very happy to hear that I was coming. However I decided to drive there alone by my car. It was a 15 hours drive to reach my destination. When I arrived to Maryland, my cousin was very happy to see me. Because the last time I saw him was 13 years ago. I was so tired and was ready to sleep. While I was sleeping, my cousin`s roommate woke me up and he said that he heard someone breaking my car`s window. For while I did not get what did he said, then I realize that my car got stolen. I remembered that my phone was not with me. It was in the car, but now it got stolen. So I called the police to report what happen. They took all of the information that they needed and told me they will keep me updated if anything will happen. But now, I had to pay for everything. I had to spend all my money on this problem. My trip to New York has also been cancelled, because I was broke. I had to call my parents to send me more money to buy new phone. In the next day I received the money and bought what was stolen and fixed my car window. Even when it was a really tough vacation, my cousin helped in many things. I hope that this incident will never happen again.

    “Unbelievable Story of Love” by Denice Martinez Tejada

         Two years ago, in a Communication Class, in a beautiful spring at Central Venezuelan University, a sophomore student started one of her most interesting stories in her life.

         A forty-year-old teacher called Miguel taught every student in his classes how to communicate well with all people. Most of the time the old teacher used one of his student‘s name to set the example of his course. This attractive student was named Mary. She was always angry with her old teacher, because he putted bad example, like this, “Mary needs a boyfriend who controls”, “Mary’s mother is angry because her daughter has bad friends”. She didn’t like it.

         One day in a difficult class, before the class started, the young student, Mary, told her classmates, very sad!, “I don’t like the Communication teacher because he always gives examples by using my name. I feel bad. Sometimes I think that, our teacher Miguel, only teaches for me”. Her smart classmate told her, “Don’t pay attention to the examples. He only tries to be friendly with you”. “He is the best teacher here”, said her best friend.

         When the good educator started his class that day, he informed that in two weeks he was going to be absent. He had to travel to the Unites States to complete his Doctorate in Education. He assigned them a lot of homework to do while he was absent. In this moment, the lovely student, Mary, said very annoying, “Who is going to teach us our course in Communication?” Then she added, “If you can’t work, don’t work! Immediately, her old smart professor answered and told her, “Be careful when you speak with me. I am your teacher. You must respect me and please don’t say anything more about it”. All intelligent students were very quiet! sss… … … 

         After the class, the pretty Mary was thinking about her old and handsome teacher, but she didn’t know why.

         When the old teacher returned from his trip, the beautiful Mary felt well and was very happy, but she didn’t show it. 

         One night, Mary was using her Facebook very late at night and so was her teacher. All of a sudden, they started to chat. He wrote, “Hi Mary, how are you?” She answered, “Hi teacher, I’m fine”. This conversation was very long. They chatted about the Communication Class, about her, about him. Unexpectedly, they started to chat about love. He told her that she was very beautiful, smart… and that he was in love with her. She said to him, that she was in love with him. He answered, “Great, but we have two problems: you are very young, and I am your teacher. This nice sentiment is impossible”. She was thinking… uhhh… well, it is true. Just imagine that we didn’t talk about our feeling today. 

         Two months later, the clever teacher invited the fresh student to have lunch at a fancy restaurant on a Saturday, and she accepted. They ate together. Inadvertently, one of Mary’s friends saw them and took a picture and posted it on Facebook. On following Monday, the director of the University called the teacher Miguel and told him with very strong voice, “Don’t you know the rules here? Now we have a problem! You don’t see other woman! Why you are with your student?” The director was very angry and made a decision. For you have done that, “you will never work here again!” the director yelled very strong. The old teacher didn’t say anything. He was only thinking of his love, Mary. “For Mary I could do all”.

         Mary felt bad because she thought what happened with her love, Miguel was her fault. And then, Miguel and Mary talked about their situation and made a decision about it. Miguel told Mary, “I didn’t want to interrupt your dreams of your life. That is why I decided to go to other place because I’m older than you. I lost my work, but you never forget that I love you. Immediately, the beautiful Mary answered, “I understand your situation, but you have not thought about my feeling. I love you too; I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Suddenly, Miguel said, “Serious? Really? Are you sure? Uhhhmmm. I am very happy!!! Do you want to marry me my princess? “Of course”, she said. And then, they got married and live very happily ever after.

    "Man And Women Should Do Sport " by Naif Saleh Z.

           Today i want to talk about women in Saudi Arabia being allowed to cmpete in championship. Actually,in my country the most famous sport is soccer.However,in my country there are many others sports such as soccer,vollyball,etc.But,women do not play with each other.For example,women can not play basketball in the street.Also,championships are not allowed either.In addition,women in Saudi Arabia can not compete in the street to play basketball .On the other hand,if women want to play basketball,it should be shered with females only in a close area.For example,there are many clubs in Saudi Arabia,only for women.I believe that it is not fair for women. Because,the women is can do whatever she wants when she reaches 21 years old.For these reasons, the femal are not allowed to participate in championship.

      sport I love.. by banan
             Swimming is a sport I love, and I do it always in my free time. First, I think swimming when the weather is very hot makes me so excited for that. Second, I think it is a safe sport and it is a very nice activity to spend your free time with, because in swimming there is a lot of playing you can do inside.
            Also, the second best sport is ice skating because in my country there is no ice, and i think it is so enjoyable and safe when we wear the helmet and pads on the head and legs to be okay.
    Also, I like to experience new things and since I came here to the USA, I could try for the first time in my life to skating on ice, and I enjoyed myself with that.
            Third, my best sport is hand ball, because it is a very fun activity to play with a friend and it does not finish your energy and you  do not feel exhausted because it is just you moving your hand and catching the ball from another player and moving it around to another player.
           These three sports that I mentioned above are my favorites. I prefer doing them more than other sports.

    Faithful to His God  " By Ju Ju" 

           In the sixth century, there was a princess, Zubiadah, who was the wife's king of Islamic Empire. She was very generous especially with poor people and also was wise. One day, there were two men in the City Market, one of them was always asking God to grant him and his children sufficient food and money and the other man was asking her, Zubiadah. 

          She knew about their situations either who was asked God or he was asked her, so she decided to give them a lesson particularly who had relied on her. She sent two Dnaneers, a name of their currency in those days, to the man who asked God and sent a grilled chicken, she also put inside it ten Dnaneers, to who asked her. The man who was asking her felt disappointment because she didn't give him enough money he desired and every time he sold the grilled chicken in two Dnaneers to the man was asking his God. 

          After ten days, she came to the man, who was asking her and she said "How are you after ten Dnaneers during ten days?" He told her every day he sold the grilled chicken to the other man, who was asking God. She drove him to be shocked when she told him about the fact of ten Dnaneers inside that chicken! However, she explained for him the necessity of depending on God and not people because that man, who was asking his God, was faithful to the ability of his God to give him whatever he wants. But you, who was asking her, relied on me without realizing I am a person as similar as you are. So my abilities don't ensure for you whatever you wish.

                            
     
      Business In Carbondale by Raniyah
               Walmart is one of the most popular markets in Carbondale and the all of the United States. There are many reasons that made the Walmart one of the successful businesses. I have three reasons that support my notion. First, everything you want you can find in Walmart, such as kitchen purposes, bathroom tools, clothes, and the most popular equipment. Moreover, Walmart has international commodities that meet all the foreign demands, for instance, Chinese, Mexican and Indian food whether for personal or business uses (International Restaurants). Second, Walmart always has the lowest prices compared to many big markets that I visited. On the top of that, it provides more often offers and discounts for the essential commodities. Third, it is characterized by the high quality with customer’s satisfaction. For personal experience, once I bought a device for the kitchen and after a while this device had a malfunction. I returned the device back to the customer service of Walmart, and then they took it back immediately and replaced it with a new one. Consequently, I realized why Walmart is very popular among people. Finally, I like Walmart markets. In my country there are many huge markets the same as Walmart, but not like Walmart’s success. I believe, the policy ​​that is utilized in Walmart is the main reason that fulfilled this success. Walmart has a successful business for several reasons which are quality, experience, service and good management; furthermore, Walmart provides prices affordable for everyone, whether rich or poor.
