    Learning language through literature.

    Many teachers say that literature is a big source for learning any language, but it is still questionable as to whether or not literature may improove the language since it is full of literary meanings which are hard to understand. Most people, when learning a new language prefer reading through easy articles such as: newspapers, magazines, and documentary programs on T.V. Materials such as these ( newspapers, magazines TV)  make it easier to understand the language; with less use of idioms and slang language, so the use of literature differs in terms of this point because students may waste their time looking for literary meanings. therefore they may not make much progress in written language. I do not like the idea of using literature as a way for beginning learners to grasp the fundamentals of any language. I believe that it should be given for students who possess an advanced level of the language that they are studying...

    hopefully you can see some of the changes I made! If you have any questions, let me know.

    Hi everybody!

    I love English very much and I think it deserves to be the most popular language in the world because it's very flexible and simple. It would help you very much in learning this language by saving time and in my opinion every one has to be able to speak in English because most of the science is written in English and most of the good movies are in English.  It is the common language between all the people around the world . Thank you everyone!

    Things that I don't like about American movies.

     Every time I watch an American movie, I know the whole story before the movie begins; actually this is not the big problem. 
    The big problem is that every movie holds the same idea. The American person always wins at the end and seems to always have a lot of advantages over the other people in other countries. I don't know why the directors make American movies like this. With that being said, I must admit that there are a lot of great movies out there but I don't know why they are not very famous in the American society .

    Comparing the relationship between the US and Arabic countries

    Comparing the relationship between the US and Arabic countries
    Actually there are a lot of differences in the relationships between  USA and Arabic countries in general. One example of this would be the difference  between women and men .
    In Arabic countries you can't just ask a girl out for fun or ask her to be your girlfriend. If you have to ask a girl out you must be sure that you will get married to her soon as soon as possible. It could be after two or three dates.
     Most of the time, the parents don't know about this. If it happens and the parents know about this, you can be in big trouble. Maybe the girl will not be able to leave the home again because of this .
     The most painful thing that could happen is that the girl could  get hurt or  killed because of this. Another thing that could happen; her reputation could be ruined and no one will want to marry her at all .
    This is why most of the men here in Syria don't go out very often with girls and if they want to marry , they have to go immediately to their parents and ask them if it is okay to be with the girl .
     You have to be careful when you ask a girl out. You have to think about the situation before asking to get involved in a relationship with a girl .
    Also the situation in which the girl gets pregnant before marriage  it is very rare and prohibited in all the Arabic countries. If this does happen, maybe the man will ask the girl to marry him., In this instance, I think it is a  good thing.
    What I hate the most about relationships in USA is the divorce rate and the weak relationships between the family. On the contrary, in Arabic countries, the bonds between family members  is very strong and most of the family members live in the same house and help each other a lot. 

    Thank you all,  I hope you will correct me if I am wrong.

    The USA sanction on Syria and its effect on the Syrian people .

    The USA sanction on Syria and its effect on Syrian people .
    Two years ago USA had imposed a sanction on many countries including Syria. They made many deals with other countries to make that possible. In Syria,  most of the people don't feel the impact or effect of that sanction; the people who are dealing with the Internet business feel the effect.
    For example if you want to go shopping on the internet or you want to access some products or services you will come across some messages that say “ you are from a country that does not allow you to access this product or these services “ I think it is very ridiculous to do that to people who are innocent .
    For example I tried (two days ago) to sign up on the Cisco web site to get access to the CCNA certificate exam guide and I couldn't because I am from a country that does not allow me to have access to this service 
    And I don't know why companies like Cisco deal with political issues and listen to many people's decisions that are being made in the USA Administration.
    I hope someday everything will be okay .  Thank you all .
