Once upon a time, Salah - our young neighbour - rang the bell, when I looked through at the magic eye door viewer I saw no one.
I thought he must be is hidden at by the stairs , but he all of a sudden he surprised me by showing his head from at the window, he was hanging at on the wall like a Ninja ..
I was so wondered amazed and asked him how were you are able to do that ?
He repose jumped on to the ground and started doing the pressure exercise pressups, and replied :" can you do this ? "
I laughed saying :" no of course " >> I can not do this exercise :(
he said :" Mum forces us to do this exercise one hundred time per day .. every day after the Dawn sunrise, we drink tea and olive oil and do exercise for one hour ".
Then and he do did a lots of hard exercises in front of me ..
I realized then that to be a Ninja is about training not about boring being born? like that :D
Forgive me for the bad note , I can not write English well ,, all my expressions in my mother language is are strong and fluent , so I feel it is hard to translate it in a simple way
I'm trying :(0 votedSeptember 5, 20140IELTS TASK 1: Chart 24. Moths! Please help me with corrections. Thanks a million.
The diagrams illustrate the four main stages of developing a moth's development and the process of producing silk cloth from the cocoon to the finished product.
To begin with, after 10 days after of the mature moth has layed its laying eggs by a mature moth on a leaf of mulberry leaf, which is used as food source for the larvae, the larvae are getting out of the eggs are beginning to hatch. Then they the larvae start nourishing themselves on those leaves for almost 4-6 weeks to become enough matured enough to create the silk thread which they will wrap around themselves which covering themselves completely. and They would pass will take 3-8 days to make the cocoons. After another sixteen days have passed after making cocoons, the mature moth will appear.
Cocoons are the raw materials which are used for producing silk cloth. Firstly, selected cocoons are boiled in water to get loosed loosen them. After boiling, the cocoons are ready to be unwound as threads which have can be 300-900 meters in length. In the next step, the threads are twisted together which can then be dyed or they go on to the final step and get weaved woven into cloth and then get dyed.**I was a bit stronger with the corrections this time, don't be put off though, your English is excellent! :-) It's a very tough topic for a learner, well done!

Dear Mahoud,
Hope you are doing well.
I would like to apologise regarding the my arranged visit in Jan, *I won't be able to make it! As you know, I was looking for a new job as I was not happy with my previous position. The problem is that Now as because I got hired the job I will not be able to take a vacation till August. which Since it will be summer season and we can make other arrangements like camping at the beach.
I hope you will not be busy at that time.
Please pass on my greetings to your family and let me know if you can't make it.
All the best,
Ahmad Abdan*You need to say why you are apologising, it sounds a little strange just to apologise about a visit. Between friends, something like "I'm really sorry but I won't be able to visit in Jan like we'd arranged."

Accidents on the road are quite common. Despite the fact that we have clear laws and rules for road users there are always unpredictable situations happening, people who intentionally* skip fail to follow the rules and people who are just having a bad day.
It is certain that one of the biggest distractions for a driver is talking on a phone. Experiments show that hands-free phones are not in any way safer to use while driving than handphones*. Even though producers try to convince us about the advantages of hands-free phones over the handphones, the fact is that there's actually a lot of evidence against their claims.
The problem with talking on the phone in a car is not the fact that we need to hold a phone close to our ear, which leaves us with only one hand on a steering wheel, the key issue here is our attention. We believe that we can easily devide our concentration between multiple tasks at the same time. As experienced drivers we know that when we talk on the phone we are still able to operate our vehicle, see and follow the signs on the road and so on. And this is true for many people. The problem arises when something unexpected happens. Most accidents happen because sudden events occur and we don't have enough time to react. Sometimes it's a matter of just one or two seconds. So the problem is with our limitations on motor control while we are distracted.
Interestingly, it's a little different whith conversations with our passengers. Different studies show that it is not as disturbing as talking on the phone. The clue here is that people who are with us in the car are aware of our environment. They can see what we see, they can warn us if they spot something worth our attention, like children playing with a ball on a pavement, a motorcyclist, an animal crossing the road. They are not surprised when we suddenly stop talking and concentrate on the road. It's also important that we can hear and understand them better than people who we talk on the phone with, so we don't need to put so much effort into keeping up with the conversation.
In summing up it can be said that driving while talking can be safe as long as we have an additional pair of eyes next to us, being on the phone and carrying on with the conversation for social demand reasons is something we should avoid for our own and other road users' sake.Overall very good.
*"intentionally ignore the rules" might sound better
*I don't think the word handphone is commonly used, usually when discussing this issue we talk about ""talking on a mobile phone while driving is dangerous even when using hands-free" but it's just personal choice.
