Surprise I have a cousin that we are very close to each other. She is my best friend. She has a boyfriend who lives in another city. Her boyfriend sent me messages two days ago that he wanted to come to our city in order to visit my cousin but he wanted to surprise her. So he asked me to set a date and go to a cafe and wait for him. Yesterday, I asked my cousin to go out with my friends and she accepted but she was stressed. We went to the cafe and my cousin asked me why your friends didn't come. Suddenly her boyfriend came and put his hands on her eyes. My cousin was completely shocked and she couldn't say anything for several minutes. After this time she just asked me " How? How did you do it?" and we just smiled. I think it was a very interesting surprise for her and I appreciate her boyfriend.

Holiday I had a four-day holiday last week. I went to a small village in the north of Iran with my family and my aunt's family. I haven't been there before. It was really beautiful. The weather was great, cloudy and partly rainy and cool. It was awesome. We stayed there for two days. I didn't access to the Internet there. I had walking plan and I took some photos. There were some old houses. I enjoyed a lot. I uploaded a photo from this place.

Busy days I had busy days during two last weeks. I had lots of things to do also at home and at work. There was a new project at work and I worked hard on it. This is due to the fact that I couldn't practice on my English. But now I have more free time and I can do my favorites.

New skill Today I'm practicing on a new software related to my job. I think there can be a good opportunity which I can promote my job. There is a vacancy in another office, therefore I should try to learn new skills in order to achieve that job. In that office I can have independence, also I can be well paid.

Therefor I have sent him a photo of Persian alphabet and taught him some letters and words. He also helps me with learning English. I am very happy to be here, because I have found some new friends and I can learn language more.

Now I want to learn painting and draw my imaginations that I think about them. How about you? Which field of art are you interested in?

My city I live in Tehran, capital of Iran. It is one of the biggest cities in Iran. Also it is industrial excellence which surrounded by industrial towns. This is due to the fact that some people immigrate to Tehran in order to find good jobs and promote their lifestyles. So these years it has become very crowded. This issue causes sound and air pollution. Living in Tehran has its own advantages and disadvantages. Firs, I explain the disadvantages. As I said, Tehran is very crowded. So people spend lots of time on traffic, specially in rush hours. For instance when I want to go to work I should leave home very early in the morning in order not to be late. Also the weather is polluted and it is very harmful for people's health. But besides these disadvantages, it has advantages. The best hospitals, universities, schools, companies and offices are located in Tehran. Therefor it is a suitable place for reaching knowledge, income, etc. Tehran has a lot of historical places. There are some ancient palaces in Tehran, such as "Golestan palace", "Sa'ad Abad palace" and "Niavaran palace". They are related to "Qajar" and "Pahlavi" time. Also there are some museums in it. For example "Time museum", "Cinema museum", "Money museum", "Darabad World Wide museum", "Jewelry museum" and etc. There is an old market which called "Bazar". You can find everything you need. Beside that, there are lots of modern shopping centers which supply goods to people. Like most of cities in the world, Tehran has parks, cinemas, theaters and entertainment places.
