excerpts of Chuck's family

Chuck is a member of a small Taiwanese family. His family consists of his parents, two siblings ( one older sister and one older brother ) , and him of course , so they are five members in total. The one that chuck looks like in his family is his mother. At the mean time, Chuck is living as a home-stay in United states. It has been almost a year since he last was with his parents back home in Taiwan. What also worthy of mentioning here is that Chuck's siblings are not on speaking terms with one another including him, owing to have different personalities . But the true sad fact of the matter is that he thinks his brother is treating him like a child he said, because the age's gap between him and his brother is about five years and the same reason goes for his sister as well. Chuck and his family have get-together meetings in special occasions.

Cultures in Saudi Arabia

       Saudi's culture is different from any other country's culture around the world , due to religious commitments that we follow. This actually makes us highly considered as a conservative community. Lets take for an example just to clarify the image, that in our cultures women are not allowed to shake men's hands and vice versa. However, that does not goes on a family member such as mothers , sisters , aunts , and grandmothers , with the exception of female cousines. One more thing about greatings, is that in case of shaking someone's hand , which has to be the same gender of yours, you may expected to use the right hand only. Furthermore about this issue, is that when you shake someone who is older than you with a big gap of age your need to kiss his head out of respecting to that old person.
       

Diet Change in Saudi Arabia

   Nowadays in Saudi Arabia, a lot of people are facing the risk of diabetes, heart diseases, hypertension ( high blood pressure), obesity and so on, owing to the radical changes in the systems of nutrition. In this topic we are going to focus on the fundamental reasons that caused horrible effects on Saudi people's bodies.

    The most dangerous reason that led to these problems is the increase of eating from restaurants' fatty food. Particularly, fast food, which is become spread out in restaurants all over the country. In spite of its negative effect due health that raises the possibilities of having cardiovascular troubles, because it contains lots of saturated fat, which may by the end of the day brings about facing diabetes and obesity as well.

   One more reason is that the shortage of eating healthy food, such as fruits and vegetables, which are considered the main sources of vitamins and minerals that are necessary for protecting and strengthening the immune system of our bodies. On the contrary, getting more and more chips, chocolate, sweets and soft drinks, that are full of calories and less in nutrition's values, specifically between the main courses may be one of the terrible factors to be obese. Specially, among youths, teenagers, and school children. What is also worthy to mention in this context is that we often ignore breakfast meal, despite its importance and rarely go on sports activities, especially for women.

   On the whole, getting too much fast food and reduce dealing with healthy one like fruits and vegetables, that are rich of beneficial nutrition's values, may raises the hazards of being in awful body shape. Personally, I recommend that there should be much more awareness about health process in both media and educational institutes.







   

my exciting incredible life

My name is Yesser Hawsawi and I am 20 years old . I come from Saudi Arabia . My sweaty hometown is Jeddah city, which is a coastal and the second largest city in my country. I live with my family in an apartment in an eastern neighborhood in Jeddah. I have graduated from a high school in November in 2011.Next, I moved with two sisters to US for two reasons. One of them is to improve my English and the other is to attend to one of its University. We chose Chicago city because we liked its weather more or less. Back there in Saudi Arabia my favorite hobby was used to be playing chess with my mother, but here in Chicago it turned to be watching "YouTube" instead.
