    Procrastination

    When I was younger, I used to do my tasks one after the other, without any procrastination. But I had a really bad habit: if I procrastinated, I would only finish when it became too late. Actually I didn't change too much and unfortunately I only have the second one (?) [what is the second one referring to?]

    The Family in My Country

    I have copied these questions from a member in Italki his name is @Chris, he wrote his article in Arabic and I liked to make a similar one in English.

    -Is the family in your country small or big?

    Families in Iraq tend to be big. Most Iraqis like to have more than three children. Men usually get married at their parents' house and, if he is not the only male in the family, will move out of the house when his brother decides to marry or when his children are grown. Most men get used to building (?) or renting a house near their parent's house.

    -Do the grandparents live with the family?

    Yes, they live in the big house they built before and one of their sons will live with them, along with his family.

    -How is the relationship among sons and parents?

    Sons should respect their fathers and cherish their mothers. You always find fathers not pleased with their sons' behaviours because they think they understood life more.

    -Do you like to marry a working woman؟ why?
     
    Of course it is preferable to marry a woman with a job because she represents a great support to the family financially but there is no doubt the job is on her rest (?) account. There are men who look for a woman who has a degree but no job.

    بِعيدُ الشٌُكْرِ إِحْتَقَلَ بِعيدُ الشٌُكْرِ عادَةً مَعَ أُمّي وَ صَديقاني في بَيْتي. أَحَضِّرُ عادَةً مُعْظَمَ الطَّعامِ وَ أَحَضِّرُ الطعامَ مِن يَوم اسّابِق. يُحْضِرُ صَديقاني بَعْضُ الطَّعتمِ مِثْلُ فَطيرَة الْقَرْعِ وَ البِطاطا وَ النَّبيذ. يَصِل صَديقاني بَعْدَ الظُّهْر وَ نأَكُلُ مَساعاً. يأَتي أَحْياناً مِن كاليفورنيا. عادَةً يَكونُ المَظبَخ مَشْغول خِداً. بَعدَ أَكْل نَنَظِّفُ المَظبَخ. بَعدَ ذٰلِكَ نَتَكَلَّمُ السِّياسَة حينَ شُرْب شاي مَعَ عَسَل. يُغادِرُ صَديقاني عادَةً في السّاعَةِ عاشِرَةِ لَيلً.

    Boring Tuesday

    I woke up at 8:00am this morning. But, I did not have a good night's sleep. I was still sleepy when I woke up and decided to go back to sleep for one more hour. Unfortunately, when I woke up, it was almost noon. I was late for a meeting with one of my friends. What a shame! I immediately called my friend but she didn't answer. I thought she was angry because I overslept and didn't let her know I would be late. I felt upset about this and texted her. Still no answer. A few minutes later, my friend called. I immediately answered and she said, in a low and drowsy voice, "you know what, I'm so sorry I fell asleep and will be late". I was instantly relieved.

    Company Offer Letter

    Dear Mr. Johnson,

    It is an honor to receive a job offer from your company. It was nice to meet you in the interview last week.

    Your company is located in Indiana and, as I already informed you, I have two children studying in Hilton City elementary school. I take them to school every day. There is no hostel for student in the primary schools ((don't really know what you mean here -- someplace where your kids could live during the week while attending school?)). As we are now in the middle of the school year, I cannot move my kids to a new school in Indiana. Furthermore, the 300km daily commute is difficult.

    While the salary is attractive, the working hours are too long. I currently work only 42 hours per week in my current position.

    For these reasons, I am unable to accept your offer. Thank you again for considering me for this position and I wish you and your company every success in the future.


    Sincerely,

    Hassan Ali

    It is not necessary to go into so much detail when rejecting a job offer. The following would be sufficient:

    It was an honor to receive a job offer from your company. It was nice to meet you in the interview last week.

    While the position is attractive, I must decline your offer due to the length of the commute and moving my children during the school year which would be difficult. Thank you again for considering me for this position and I wish you and your company every success in the future.

    Lost handbag


    Dear Sirs,

    I am Hassan Abualrob from Irbed city. I am working as a telecom engineer at the Stars Company in Amman. I take the 7:00 AM train daily for my commute from Irbed to Amman.

    Yesterday, I lost my handbag on one of your trains. The color of my Nike handbag is black with two golden lines on the front. Above the two golden lines on the left side is the Nike emblem in white. It is a medium handbag 20cm long, 30cm wide and 8cm in depth.

    In the lost handbag were my check book, office rent contract,  passport, phone bills, notebook and pens.

    I reported my lost handbag at the office of the ___ ((fill in Irbed or Amman)) train station. Please advise your employees to be on the lookout and, if possible, post notices on the train station walls. It would be greatly appreciated if you could review camera footage from the train station.

    I appreciate your cooperation and your efforts to locate and return my lost handbag.

    Sincerely,

    Hassan A. Abualrub

    Traffic Problems in Metro Cities ((What "traffic" problems besides "air pollution"? Maybe you should rename the title "Air Pollution in Metropolitan Cities"))

    Traffic is a problem which generally takes place in the center ((city "square" is usually the city center)) of a metropolitan city. Traffic is also a reason for air pollution ((why hyphenate air-pollution?)) due to the fact that the automobile exhaust ((better word than "fumes")) changes the air quality. The main factories of traffic; Break the rules and less awareness of sense of responsible grade. ((Last sentence does not make sense and I am not sure what you are trying to say))

    Actually break the rules is about education and self-confident ((Breaking what rules? Pollution rules? Maybe you want to say "Breaking the rules is about education and self-confidence (i.e. the confidence to break the rules)")). Most people are taught that following the rules is the path to a healthy life. The government should establish serious fines for polluters. ((You said a little more here but I do not fully understand the point you are trying to make.))

    When we have checked up on this awareness of sense of responsible grade, driver behavior give us an idea for instance while traffic warden is no the street or avenue driver generally break the rules. There are lots of example about this. In this situation the main mistake the people don't follow up the rules and playing down its rules. ((Do not understand what you are trying to say.))

    In summation, traffic is one of the most important problems in metropolitan cities. However, there is more that is important than societal awareness. If we take care of our environment, we can move towards a positive outcome. We can eradicate this problem.

    Parents in the Child's Life

    Parents play a big role in shaping a child's future. They are responsible for the basic beliefs ((presume this is what you mean by "ideas")) a child carries into the future.

    Many people believe that the mother has a great role in raising the child because she spends ((more?)) time with him in the home. The mother stays up during the night to take care of the child in his first days and she is responsible for the child's food and cleanliness. The mother has a strong emotional bond with the child which bonds her closer to him and allows her to better understand his needs.

    In my experience, my mother stayed up for nights when I was sick or had an exam at school; she also couldn't sleep when I was outside the home with my friends.

    On the other hand, the father bears the financial responsibility for the child. He teaches him how to deal with hard situations in life and to fight for success. The father accepts any suffering to provide his child with a good education.

    In my opinion both parents have an equal role in raising a child. Both are necessary in specific times of the child's life.
