That Why I do not play Video games

Video games are one of the most common problems in the world. But what make them common in the world is that everyone can get it by The Internet which is called on-line video games. Some researchers say that video games give players benefits. However, what I saw in me and my two brothers are different. Also, I found that different in some area in my hometown.
My two lovely brothers have always problems with their result in violent video games. They wake up in the morning with a nice mood and they go directly to the computer. They take the two chairs which are in my parents’ room. They usually start playing before we wake up, for example 8 a.m, after 3 hours we can here the fight. One day I told them ‘’ if you are playing together, you should not fight every day”. Every one said that we lost the game because of the other mistakes. By this answer, I wanted to try and play but each time I play I feel stomachache because I become very nervous when I play. Therefore I quit playing. However, there are others thing that I can do if I do not want to play video games.
The main problems I think in Canada and The U.S. is that there are no socials activities friends can go to have fun except bars or night clubs especially in the winter ‘’AS I THINK’’ . In my country, if you do not want to play video games, you can go out meet friends, playing cards, soccer and others activity. When I came to Canada, I found that play video games are good stuff for me to make myself busy because I am not the man who go to bars or night clubs. However, I still do not play because video games are expensive and I have stomachache when I play. I hope that my two brothers stop playing video games and also the people who get negative effects.
Note: this article introduces only my idea.

The presentation of depression depressed me

After I finished the first part of the research, writing the papers, I was thinking about the oral part. It is difficult to describe the feeling that I had before I began the presentation. But I can tell you that I went outside to smoke then I came back going to washroom but I changed my mind and coming back to the class by the longest way. I was walking slowly close to the wall and prying, asking the God for help. I got in the classroom, nobody was there and told myself that would be better. I wanted to talk with myself and doing the presentation alone in the class. I wanted to organize the classroom’s desks because I saw each desk was away from the closest one to it 0, 5 meter. No I do not want to do that, I want to look over in my power point and I want to practice. No, no time for that I should do something else. And between these and this I did not do more than thinking what to do until everybody got back to the class. I was shucked everybody was waiting for me to begin and I was thinking when can I finish. I felt my heart went down to my legs and I did not know in which leg the right one or the lift. I started and I finished the presentation and the feeling was getting better as soon as I was getting along with my speaking.

The thing that I liked during my presentation was the classmates’ eyes, they were looking at me carefully until I felt that they wanted to talk and I wanted to listen. After the presentation, I felt free but not yet, I was also thinking if I have the same situation tomorrow in the university. Thank you Marley and my classmates for your paying attention to me while I was presenting it was a good power for me.

4 Weeks of Depression and Anxiety

I have done more than 8 researches since I came to Canada. I enjoyed doing 7 of them but the last one was the most important one. I had difficult time while doing the research. I was asking myself “why am I depressed”?. It was the 40% of the final. I was depressed and I felt that I had to drop this course. Then I asked myself “ok if I drop the course what am I going to do? Absolutely, I am going to wait for the next session to take the level again. During my research I found many stories as my story with the research. I knew that I am depressed, stressed and anxious. I was depressed because I became hopelessness sadness, unhappy, sleeplessness and did not eat enough.
I was anxious because I was afraid and worry about finding information and asking myself again” what if I did not do well and did not finish my research”. The answer was always “I will go back home with a disappointed felling. The other question came up her “what am I doing to do in Saudi Arabia?”. I found that there is only one solution work and do and do not stop working.
As I mentioned I have done a lot of researches but like this one I have not done. However, my topic is exercise and depression and the topic helped me to relief my depression.
In the last week, I was directed to explain more about depression, in that time, the whole questions came back to my head and I did not know what to do. I called someone and told him about my problem. He did not give me any information that would help me in the project. He only told me “YOU CAN DO IT BECAUSE YOU CAN DO MORE THAN THIS”. I called him after two minutes I told him “I cannot do it”. He told me “IF YOU ARE SAYING THAT TO YOURSELF YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE, YOU HAVE TO PUSH YOURSELF AND SAY, I CAN DO IT I CAN DO IT , AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN”.
I did so and I only worked one hour to find some information but I found a lot of information in just one hour or so. By this situation I learned that the problem is to say that you cannot do but if you say I can do that mean you will do something you have not been able to even think about it.

having enough experience with three schools in second language


Hi every one, I am Mozamel Hasson who has been in Canada for almost three years. I came her to study English as a second language. So far, I have studied in three different schools with their difference styles of teaching; McGill, Queen and Concordia.
I studied in McGill in 2006. In that school I have learned how to use the basic Grammar. In that year I did not know how to pronounce the alphabet. That was because of my feeling toward the language. When I came to Canada, I was always saying that I am not going to learn English. The first teacher in McGill bushed and encouraged me to put me in the situation that I know how to learn English. As a result of that I was confident to learn English and I decide not to stop learning English even if I don’t learn the language successfully.
In January 2007, I went to study in Queens. Their style of teaching was close to the teaching of the universities. Students there do their work individually and they do a lot of research. Anyhow, I learned their how to wait and work hard enough to reach what you want and to know that nothing come easily. But what I did not like there was that we did not practise listening and speaking enough. When I asked about that they told me that listening and speaking are the skills which you can learn at home, in school you have to know what is going wrong with them. They take care abut listening and speaking but not as writing, reading and using Grammar.
In September 2007, I came to study in Concordia. The first session I studied in Canada was in it. But I do not remember anything from that course except the teachers and some of the students. When I came to study in September, I did the basement taste and they put me in level 5. I disappointed for that. I remembered my mark in high school in Saudi Arabia. I remembered that I do not know how to learn English. However, as soon as I passed level 6, I decided to continue learning but what did change my idea stop learning. I found that Concordia also has its own style to teach a second language. It was different style of teaching to McGill and Queens so; I wanted to learn the new style as I am learning English and getting closer to get the University of Concordia. However, in level 6, I found myself in Queens because the highest marks were put in reading and writing and that made it easier for me to pass the level. And then that also what happened in level 7.
I think learning a second language is difficult for any person who want to learn. That depends on the style of the school that you are learning at. Also, it depends in your first language. For example, learning English for Arabic people is harder than for Spanish, French or Germaine people. Also, I think learners a second language should use the language as that they use it for life not for school.

Thank you for passing the article
