A laughter helps to relieve the stress

COLLEGE STUDENT WRITES TO PARENTS A college student writes to his parents... "Dear Mom and Dad, "I feel miserable because I have to keep writing for money. I feel ashamed and unhappy. I have to ask for another hundred, but every cell in my body rebels. I beg on bended knee that you forgive me. "Your son, Marvin. "P.S. I felt so terrible, I ran after the mailman who picked this up in the box at the corner. I wanted to take this letter and burn it. I prayed that I could get it back. But it was too late." A few days later he received a letter from his father. It said, "Your prayers were answered. Your letter never arrived!"

Cultural Diversity

When will the geographical borders be deleted? When will this rough world get quiet? It’s a violent world of those monstrous wars Which are led by those cultural conflicts, Due to the challenge of globalisation. Our world is our shelter There are numerous cultures With their significant diversity Every one has its religion Its culture and its own language Every one is special and particular Because he is him. We are different because every one belong to a special culture But we are one because the humanity gathers us As we belong to the earth I will love you, I will protect you I won’t let you down I will struggle for the earth Until the dawn of union rises.

Sustainable Development

Science, education, youth Are magical words to fulfil, Advance, prosperity and welfare Nothing grows from wishful thinking Even plants grow from seeds. Success, progress are a temper of the will A vigour of the emotions. There is in every being’s heart The passion of excellence But it’s covered with the snows Of laziness and pessimism Education needs to be watered With hard work and perseverance, But so long as you don’t keep watering It will fade and wither like a waterless flower Whether you are illiterate or ignorant There is in every one’s life The light of hope, The love of learning, The challenge of events, Don’t miss your future because tomorrow The truth will be dawned on you.

The educational system

The educational system is a very vital and energetic domain in the country. It’s the factory that products the next responsible for the future. That’s the reason why we should think about the people that teach the students. So, these teachers should be their idol, their friend and their leaders. We need a teacher who is in touch with the new technology; I mean the one who can use sophisticated materials to teach the students; to protect them from the boredom. We know that some of students are familiar with the internet and the new technology, they are used to the interactive materials, to something new. So, when they come to class and they work with blackboard and chalk, they feel a little bit lost or bored. Therefore; we need a teacher who can afford joy and in the same time knowledge to their students. We also need a student who loves his work an his studies, who is ready to continue the learning process, who doesn’t consider school like a theme park, this stude...

Morocco's language

The original language of morocco was Berber, thanks to the Islamic expeditions the Arabic became little by little the official language, because it is the language of Qur’an and it starts by spreading from the north. By the year 1903 the French starts by spreading in Morocco because of the imperialist movement, but in the 1945s, it became the official language in schools, contracts, tribunals and all the administrations. By the year 1980, English appeared in Morocco and started to took its place as an important language. Spanish took its place and became strong in the north of morocco after the Spanish invasion. So, we can say that this variety of languages makes Morocco a rich country of different cultures which allow him to be in touch with all the countries.

A Survey: Dangerous Sports

After asking some students questions about dangerous sports, I notice that all my friends don’t like dangerous sports. Two of them think that when people practice dangerous sports they can have many accidents because they are very difficult to practise such as climbing, skiing, weightlifting... But only one person believes that these sports are funny and amazing.
