Jeopardy Loss at IAT LRC


Today we played a game with 10.02 in the LRC. Our English teacher Ahmed Mustafa ran the game. We were very active and excited. First we began the game by flopping a coin to know which class will start first. We choose three students from our class. They were Omar, Farris and Abdullah .We used a small Dirham to flip. Our class chose the jar and 10.02 chose the number. 10.02 students won and they will begin. Secondly, we played with them three games. The games looked like questions and answers. You must answer before the time finishes. The questions are about: “sports, capitals, Islamic & history , geography, parts of the body, general, vocabulary, grammar and other questions” .There were questions for 500$, 400$ , 300$ , 200$and 100$for each game .The three games were like each other with some difference in subjects and questions. Any one speaks Arabic will make his team lose 100$ and any one sitting in a bad way also will make his team lose 100$ . The first game was lost to the 10.02 class because we lost some questions and they were very happy at the end of the first game. These questions were lost by Farris, Omar and Abdullah. After that we started the second game it was a very hard game but that second game had made a hero out of me. I answered a question that the other class didn’t know, so I changed with Abdullah and I answered a lot of question that were Islamic questions. Thanks to my vats knowledge about Islam, we won the second game. Every student in our class was very happy and thought that we would win the game. After that we started the third game that was a very easy game but in some questions we make mistakes and the teacher may be didn’t hear our answers. At last we lost the game. The last result was 8900$ for 10.01 and 9200$ for 10.02 .The students in my class were very sad and they said : “ It’s not fair” to my teacher I was not sad because it was just a game and we will get another chance next time and I congratulated 10.02 students.We learned a lot of information from this game and we want to play more and more . I think that the game did not need the timer. I suggest to remove the timer from the game it will be more beautiful.

Lost in Dubai Festival


Four years ago, I went to Dubai with my family. We went to Dubai festival. In that festival, I needed to go to the bathroom. My mother told me “No problem you can go and you would find me in this grocery” when I came back I didn’t find my mother. I looked for her, but I didn’t find her. I was very afraid and I began to cry. I didn’t know any places in this festival because I was just eleven years old. I cried for help. After that one secretary came to me and said “Don’t worry I will help you” I saw the secretary making many calls with other secretaries and policemen. I stayed for two hours with that secretary. I was very hungry. The secretary took me to a policeman. I saw my family from far away. I was very happy. I hugged my mother and my father. My father thanked the policeman. My father was very angry with me. At the end I said to my family “I will not go to the any festival again”.

Gulliver’s Travels


My story is about Gulliver’s Travels. It has 600 hundred new words. He first traveled on May 1699. He and his family lived in the north of England. The characters in the story are his father; he is very rich man, king of little men, queen and her sons, big farmer, farmer’s daughter and king of big men. The places in the story: north of England, East Indies, Island of little men {Lolliput and Blefuscu} and the Island of a big man. The story speaks a bout traveling in the sea.
In his first sea trip the weather was cloudy and there was heavy rain. The wind and the water carried him to an Island. He was amazed when he saw very little men on his body. The little men carried him to their king. The king decided that the big man can help him to fight with another Island. He was very sad, he said “I will not make a war with any Island” the king was angry with him. But the big man tried to make them friends again. The two kings gave him a lot of money and gold. The kings thanked him.After that he came back to England. He was very happy and bought a house. He lived quietly and happily. After that he bought one boat and went to sea again. This time the boat stopped close to the shores of one Island. He was very afraid when he saw a big man. He through its corn about twelve meters high. He didn’t understand the language of the big man. The big farmer carried him to the king. The king asks him some questions about his name, his family and country. He was very angry when the king told him that English people have very small brains. He spent two years on the Island of the giants. He knew the people’s traditions, culture and he was very happy. After that he went back home again and he didn’t tell any one about his trips. After that he stayed in England with his family for some months. He wanted to travel again. This time in September 1710 he traveled to the Horse Island and he saw all kinds of horses on this Island. He was very amazed when he saw the horses speaking. But he didn’t understand their language. He wanted to learn this language. But he knew it was impossible to understand. After that he went to England again. I learned from this story to be patient and respect my father.

Brave Heart


Introduction:

This week, we read a book which is titled “Brave Heart”. The Author of this book is Randall Wallace, and published by Person Education Limited in association with Penguin Books Ltd., both companies being subsidiaries of Person Plc.

Brave heart is the true story of William Wallace, whose love for his country gave hope to his people.

Summary:

William was born in the year 1276, in Scotland in a city called Lanark. His mother died while she was giving birth to him. So he was left with his father and brother to live with. When he was five years old, he didn’t understand much about life, like any other child. His father and brother went to war against the English. And he didn’t know what “war” meant. But when he saw his father’s body laying beside his brother’s on the ground. He knew the meaning of “life!” He then went to live with his Uncle Argyle.

20 years later, William Wallace grew up as a brave man with the heart of a warrior with his father’s sword and his horse riding towards destiny. He meets with his old neighbor Old Campbell and his family, and then meets a beautiful girl that will be his wife in the future, her name is Murron.

A year passed since their marriage, the English took his wife because they wanted to know where her husband (William) is, but she didn’t want to tell them where he was, so they kill her! (I felt sad when she died,) So he wanted to take revenge, and he went to find strong men to help him fight against the English. His army contained 3,000(three thousand) people, and he went to York, where the English army is held and he destroyed them all.

What will happen to William after that? … Will he succeed on freeing Scotland? … Or end up dead like his allies.

Morale:

I learned from this story that everyone has only one life, ONLY ONE! And if he didn’t know what he’s doing, wasting his time here and there, he will never have another one. Another thing is that “Love”, is the strongest way of communication between friends and loved ones.

Best Quote:

“Sons of Scotland, you have come here to fight as free men … if you fight, perhaps you’ll die. If you run, you may live for a time. But at what cost? … I say we’ll always be free!”

In the morning, the guards took Edmond to the Chateau d’if. The Chateau d’if is a prison ware important prisoners and enemies of the king are kept there. When he was at The Chateau d’if he met a man who is trying to escape. His name was Faria. Faria is one of Napoleon followers. He has a dangerous illness that will kill him in any minute. Edmond and Faria was thinking about a way to escape the Chateau d’if. In few days the illness killed Faria and Edmond was too sad to lose a friend like him. Edmond came up with a plan. His plan is to take place of Faria’s dead body and put Faria in his bed. The guards took Edmond by mistake and threw him in the sea. Edmond was very lucky to have Faria’s knife to cut the heavy weight that was tied on him.

When he was in the surface he was swimming to find a boat or an island. One of the trading ships was nearby and they took Edmond with them. Edmond remembered what Faria told him about the treasure of the Spada family. One of the Spada family has hidden a treasure in the island of Monte Cristo. Edmond wanted to take the treasure for himself and for his family. He wanted to go to the Treasure Island.

He was very lucky to hear from the captain that they will go to the island of Monte Cristo to make a deal to get very expensive cloth.In the island of Monte Cristo, Edmond was searching for the treasure of the Spada family. When he found it he wanted it all for himself so he told the ship captain that he will stay at the island of Monte Cristo, he asked them to give him an axe and some food, and if they found any bout they will tell them to go take him from the island. When he was alone he carried the treasure and hid it. The captain returned for him because they were chased by the government and they wanted to have a good seaman to help them.When Edmond returned to Marseilles, his father was shocked when he saw all that money. And he went to complete his wedding and lived happily ever after. I learned from this story that I have to plan any thing before I do it and don’t trust any one before knowing him. And I learned so many new English words .

A Photo of a Tall Man


During This week, I read a story. The title of the story was Photo of The Tall Man. Stephen Rabley wrote this story . The story was published by Pearson Education Limited in association with Penguin Books Ltd; both companies begin subsidiaries of Pearson Plc. The story was about a young girl. Her name is Kelly Logan. She is sixteen years old. She was reading the newspaper. She read about a robbery happened in one of the banks in London. And during the robbery, a young girl was murdered. The police didn’t know who did it. In the story, the writer descriped the man who did the robbery. The descriptions have been taken from a police detective. Kelly was going to live with her uncle Max in London. He is a newspaper photographer. He has got a big house in High gate in north London. So, she went there and met her uncle and her cousin Adam. She started looking for a job. One day, a strange man called for her uncle but he wasn’t at home. So he left a message with Kelly for him. Kelly felt that the man was afraid. She asked her uncle about the man but he didn’t answer her. A lot of things happened in the story. So, after a few months Kelly read about a robbery in France. The man who did the robbery was the same man who robbed the bank in London. The newspaper called the “The Tall Man”, because people who saw him they saw a shape of a tall man. Kelly saw the man by her uncle’s car. She didn’t see his face, but she saw a shape of a tall man. She thought that he is the robber of the banks. But how could she know him. She didn’t know his face and she didn’t see it. I didn’t complete the story yet. But I will complete it. It’s a very good story. The story is a detective story. And I like detective stories. I felt happy when Kelly found a job, because at first she didn’t find any job even at a restaurant. So, it was a good thing that she found one. Kelly’s uncle talked to many people about the tall man and he knows a lot of things about him. But did he know more about the Tall Man than the police. I don’t know yet. But I will when I complete the story.I learned from what I read a lot of things like:-

1-Some people are losers and some others are winners.
2-Respect others so that they will respect you.
3-Money is not everything.

The Battle of the LRC


Mr. Ahmed Mustafa accompanied our class 10.01 and 10.02 class to the LRC. He offered a challenge between our class and their class, it was exciting, it was a game that has different type of questions for example Vocabulary, Grammar mistakes, Questions and Answers, Spelling Mistakes, WH questions, and True or False.

I learn so many things from this game. It was fantastic, but unfortunately, we didn’t win but that doesn’t matter, we will win next time. I enjoyed myself, 10.02 won the game because they were faster than us in answering questions. There were some unfair questions, the 10.02 students were answering our questions, it was all right, they have to answer, but also they have to give us a chance to answer. I will tell you what happened, the questions were on the screen , and it was 45 seconds for us to answer, and we were thinking but one of the 10.02 students answer the question in the first 15 seconds. Ahmed Moustafa should have given us a chance. Well never mind, it was exciting. They had scored 9200 points and we scored 8900. We were so close to them. We played three rounds of the game. In the first round, we scored 3400 points and they scored 3800 points so they won. The first round of the game was fair. However, the second round of the game was unfair. Never mind we won any way. We had 2700 points and they had 1600 points. They were far below us. But in the third round of the game which was the final round, they had 3800 points and we had 2800 points. That what I was talking about, they were answering our questions. Then after a while we counted our scores, they were less. My God, they defeated us. Then they started saying some words to us because we lost.

I was happy and excited because while we were playing we learned so many things, for example: what is the capital city of china? I answered Tokyo but it was wrong. The answer was Beijing. Do you want to know why we lost? Because they were smarter than us, and we were so confused? We had enjoyed ourselves and I took pictures for the game and the teacher and the students.

Finally, the 10.02 was came first and we came second. That meant we were the last position. The 10.02 had three perfect students but I will not say their names. 10.02 had given them a prize but I don’t know what the prize is. The prize is not from the administration, it was from Ahmed Mustafa. There were no difference from 10.02 and us. We were all the same and I wish we were at the same class. But I want to say one single thing : never mind if we lose but at least we learned many new things.

I studied in Al khawarismi International College. I studied there systems engineering (MCSE Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) and computer repairing (A+ computer service technicians). It was last year. Now I'm studying at IAT Al Ain. I like to play football and basketball. So, they are my favorite sports. I like to listen to songs. My favorite singers are 50 cent and Al Myasi. I spend my free time in playing computer games, computer repairing, and some times I do some computer hacking. In the future I'd like to be a hacker. The hacker is not a person that makes damages in the computers or networks. He is a person that looks for problems and tries to find a solution for it. So, he is a good person. And that’s all about me.

My Grandfather was lost in Twam Hospital


My grandfather was very ill, my father took him to Tawam Hospital. My father said to my grandfather “please wait here until I bring the car”. When my father came with car to take my grandfather he was shocked because he couldn’t find my grandfather. He looked for him here and there but he couldn’t find him. He went to the security. The security said don’t worry we will find him. Don’t be afraid. My father was very angry and afraid he couldn’t believe himself. He said I will not forgive myself if anything happens to my father. Outside the hospital there were many holes my father thought that my grandfather could be inside one of these holes. He was very afraid of this thing. Then he looked in all these holes to make sure that my grandfather is safe. When my brother came he went to my father and said after five minutes I will call the police station. My father was very angry and said “Call the police now what are you waiting for? Call the police station.” I will wait for the police here. Go and try to find your grandfather, move.After three hours for looking two men came to the police station with my grandfather and a taxi driver. One of the two men said “I found this old man with this taxi driver not knowing where the old man go.” Then the taxi driver said I have taken this old man to the vegetable market and when he wouldn’t leave me, my friend caught him. We wanted to know who was this old man? My father said this is my father and told him the whole story.

Just Say No to Drugs


One of the most famous problems all over the world is drugs. Nowadays many countries suffer from drugs. This problem causes damage to countries. People spend a lot of money on drugs that destroys the economy of the country. People who used to take drugs usually are ready to do anything to get the drugs. They can kill other people to get money they can steal to get the drugs. Those people who do drugs can’t work so most of them leave their jobs and stay without work.Drugs cause a lot of diseases because it destroys the body. It has very dangerous effects on the brain and heart. Governments exert a lot of efforts to stop drugs. They try to arrest all the smugglers. Once they catch someone taking drugs they punish him.I think it’s better to send him to the hospital to be treated to be a good person for himself, family and his country. It’s a very good idea to organize conferences to help people giving up taking drugs. By this way they will encourage a lot of people stop taking drugs.Our religion Islam works against drugs. Prophet Mohammad-peace be upon him- said that a Muslim should not harm himself or harm other people.

Students must respect themselves and their teachers. This law is very important for any subject . Do your homework . Don’t forget any things for any subject. Using Dictionaries in English is very important . Listen to the teacher and don’t talk with students. Ask the teacher if you have a question and read the question before you answer . You should organize your time . At the end we can say the aim of the IAT is to make a good engineer in the future.

The Game was Lost


Today, Thursday 18th of October 2007, we had a game with grade 10.02. It was a good game. The game was in the second block, first period. We started the game by an introduction about the game. It was jeopardy. It was a very interesting game. I liked the game very much. Our teacher Mr. Ahmed Mustafa told us about it, and how to play it. We understood every thing about it.

First thing we have to do in the game was that we don’t speak in Arabic while playing. Second, we have to choose a question from categories like: geography, science, grammar and finding mistakes. Third, we must not wear Caps or hats or we will lose $100. Fourth, we have to sit steady and do not put our leg on our lap and do not sleep on it like a bed.

We had three rounds. In the first round, grade 10.02 team started the game. They answered all the questions. And our team answered the entire questions except one. It was difficult for us to answer that question. 10.02 team spoke in Arabic, so, the teacher deducted from their score $100. I was very happy at that time. I thought that we will win, but we didn’t. After we finished the first round, the score was $3400 for our team and $3800 for 10.02 team as in the table:-

10.01 10.02
$3400 $3800

After that, we started the second round. We were trying to win and we did. At first we didn’t answer one or two question. They were very difficult. The second round was the most difficult round. We changed one of our players. The game was about Sports, Capitals, Islam & its history and grammar. At the end of the second round we had $6100 and 10.02 team had $5400 as in the table:-

10.01 10.02
$6100 $5400

Then we started the Third and Final Round, we got excited, a lot of happiness and filled my heart with this winning feeling. Question were similar to the second round, they were about Sports, Numbers, WH Questions (who, when, what and how) and last but not least was about the human body parts. I felt that the questions were so easy, easier than the easy questions! But the ending was the most worst and unfair ending I’ve ever had in my life, the score of the final round was as following:-

10.01 10.02
$8,900 $9,200

I can’t say it, but, I think that Mr. Ahmed Mustafa (our English teacher) was a little bit unfair with some questions we had, he actually gave them a chance by canceling a question that was not clear. I thought it was fair, for them, because if it was our turn, I’m sure he would have done the same. But that question was worth $500, and it was really a waste. We could have taken $500 instead of $400, he should have gave them the $500, and not waste it, or give them a question worth less score/money like $400 because they are the ones who chose that question, not us nor the teacher, they should take responsibility. Secondly, there were questions that we knew their answer and he gave them a chance and didn’t give us, and some of them we knew their answer and we actually answered it but again he gave them the score because it was their turn. And so the game ended with them ahead by $300.

However, it's OK with us losing, because it’s just a game, It didn’t have marks, nor did any of the administrators come to attend it, and I’m not accusing the teacher or anything, please don’t think this wrong and no offence on you teacher!

And next time we play, we will show them haw to play Jeopardy in a fair way, and we will show them while the administration attending the game.

My name is Mansour Al Shamsi, I am 15 years old. I live in Al Ain. My father is a Colonel and my mother is a housewife. She takes care of us. My favorite hobby is playing football, and being in the internet all the time. My favorite subject is English and Maths because they are very interesting. The subject I have found difficult is ICT because it talks about Microsoft and its properties, but I think I will not have difficultly after sitting for the ICDL exam because they will teach us about Microsoft office and other things. My favorite teacher is Mohammad Ayoub because he has a strong personality, I like him too much. I forgot to tell you about my school. I am studying at the Institute of Applied Technology in Al Ain and I am in grade 10-01 the best grade in the 10th grades.

Lost in the Mall of the Emirates


One day in the holiday when I was 12 years old. I went with my family to Mall of the Emirates. At that time I had no mobile. When we were in the Mall. I said to my father: “I want to go around the mall” My father said you must go with your family in order not to be lost. I said: No I’ would not be lost. Later he said: OK. Later I went to around the mall. After 30 minutes I forget where were my family. At that moment, I thought how I could find my family. I said: Oh! I was lost what could I do. I called one security officer. I said: yes! I was very happy at that moment because the security man could help me. So I went to him and said to him my problem. He said please don’t be afraid I would help you. Later he took out his security mobile and pushed to talk with the security room after that he said to me what is your name and what is your father’s name . I said Mohammed Hammed Al Ameri. After that I listened to a voice coming from the security room saying: please father of Mohammed Hammad Al Ameri come to the security room please. After 10 minutes my father came to security room. And he said to me what did I say to you? I said: sorry father. At night the Mall was to be locked and we went back to our Hotel.

The Holy Month of Ramadan


There are five pillars in Islam. One of them is fasting. Fasting means stop eating and drinking from the dawn until the sunset. Muslims fast in Ramadan so Ramadan is the holiest month of the year for Muslims.

Fasting is not stopping eating and drinking only but also your eyes, ears, hands and legs should fast. It means that you shouldn’t say bad words; you shouldn’t watch impolite programs and films. You shouldn’t also use your hands and legs in doing some thing against the rules of Islam.

In Ramadan Muslims change their life. They pray traweeh after praying al ishaa. In the UAE, we used to have breakfast together in a tent near the house. I like to eat with poor people because people are equal. I like Ramadan programs and I like Ramadan food.

Lost in an Old Syrian Fort


One day, I and my family decided to travel to Syria. We went to an old fort. Then, my family went outside and I was on the roof of the fort. When I returned I didn’t find my family. I was nine years old so I didn’t know what to do. I stayed in my place shocked for 30 minutes. Then I started looking for my family and I was very afraid. The fort was too big and it had so many rooms. I started from room to room looking for them. I was unlucky to find that there were no security men in the fort. Then I was shocked to think that I was lost and they didn’t know about me. I was rounding in the fort like a crazy man for one hour.

Finally, I was on the roof of the fort and I saw my family down talking to some policemen. I was very happy to find them and I was running down the stairs. They were very happy to find me. In the end we returned to our homes and lived happily ever after.

I learned from this story to stay with your family whatever happens and when you are lost don’t be afraid but be brave and go to nearest security man in the area.

See You in London


My name is Hamad. I am in grade ten, class 10.01 . I want to travel to London because I will study the English language there. I will travel with my friends from the UAE. I will spend four weeks there. When I visit London I will see many tall buildings. Many Arabs travel to London for pleasure. In the first day I will go to the Hilton Hotel and sleep for some hours. I choose this hotel because it is very tidy and wonderful. After that I will go with my friends to the park and the museum. The weather of London is very cold so I will buy some winter clothes before I travel. In the second day I will go to London University to study the English language. I will need to go shopping and I will see the snow. I won’t forget to visit Big Ben . I will carry more money with me because the London is very expensive . Before I travel I will ask a friend who has been to London before . I think it is going to be a very interesting trip. I am looking forward to it.

Men In Black


During this week, I read about the story MIB, if you read the story, you will find two main characters: Jay and Kay, Kay was a man in black before and Jay is a beginner in MIB. The story is about aliens, bugs, and strange people.The story begins with Kay, he was a man in black, sure not only him but other men, Then after two months, he met Edward, then he let him one of the MIB, do you know what did he do to him. Kay changed his name, personality, clothes, trousers, and also his glasses.Aliens are killing peoples but bugs are eating people and aliens. There is a bug in New York. The people of the world are in danger! But MIB, Men in Black, help people, they will not do a war, they will let New York in safe.

After a few days, it was Sunday, they found aliens, and they killed them, but it was from the bug. “The bug is the problem”. What do you think will they kill after the aliens? It is the bug, they found it, but they are thinking of how they will defeat her. Then after a while the bug saw them then he took Kay. And Jay was crying: Kay Kay Kay don’t die. Then he saw that the bug stomach is moving. So he is thinking who might be in his stomach. “””Kay”””. Kay had a big gun, so he bombed his stomach, and got out. Then the New York City became safe because the aliens were in the bug and Kay killed them all.But not just that, now they have to find they have to find the cat. The cat is the problem, because it has on her neck a diamond, and this diamond contains the third Galaxy which has the fight between the world and the alien’s world. So they started searching for that cat. Thanks to God they found it in the alien’s restaurant, they were so happy and they break it and bombed it and also threw it. The bugs and aliens, and also the strange people had been disappeared and New York is now safe. No more problem and no more aliens.
Finally, they want to go home, they saw their limousine with a woman and this lady wanted to be a woman in black but she is fair. She changed her clothes, glasses, trousers, and also her shoe. But there is something missing, they didn’t change their name, her name is Terrell, they changed it and let it Tee and Kay had retired from MIB. So still Jay and Tay. And the NYC is now safe. That what can I say…
