I’ve lived in Khemisset city all my life and it has never lost its
unique charm in my eyes. Although it is small and lacks a lot of facilities
and infrastructure I prefer it to other places. One reason I prefer it is climate. In Khémisset the weather is often
mild and temperate. It is not very cold in winter and not very hot in the
summer. It is a salubrious weather and protects me from allergies and some
other illnesses that I may catch in coastal or big cities. Another reason to prefer Khémisset is its size. It is a small city
with less stressful traffic jam. This means also fewer fumes and less car
noise. There are almost no factories either. This makes the city cleaner than
the big metropolitan ones. Living in a small city, as well, allows me to know
most people here and be known. However, in big cities people suffer from
loneliness and solitude. The third reason why I like this city is its rural feel. Most people
here are simple peasants. I like their condor, innocence, and simplicity as
well as their straightforward character. The peasant nature of the city, too,
allows me to be in contact with nature and live the four seasons and missing
none. My last, but not least, reason for preferring Khémisset over other
cities is language. People speak Berber, a language I speak poorly. I
understand it well and try my best to master it because it’s part of Moroccan
culture and we do not have to neglect it. My final opinion, though, is that I like Khémisset because of all the
reasons stated earlier but one day I’ll have to experience life in other
bigger cities, here or abroad. Then I’ll be in a better position to compare
and judge. |

Cell phones are something that people have with them all the time nowadays.
It’s a very personal communication media. The proliferation of mobile phones
and the popularity of text massaging is a double-edged sword. On the positive side, it allows people to get in touch with one
another. It gives them a way of checking in with each other or summoning help
in an emergency. Besides, cell phones have made far away places closer. You can talk to
anyone on this planet from your mobile phone as if they are a few meters
away. Also, cell phones provide us with an opportunity to communicate
cheaply with SMS text messages. One can chat or send and important messages
via SMS service without being charged a big sum. In addition, voice mail service allows us to always stay in contact.
You can always get your message through to the other person by recording it
in the voice mail. This way you save time since you don’t have to retry again
and again. Moreover, cell phones have a lot of other uses. They can be used as an
address book, as a memo, as a calculator, as a stopwatch, as a tape recorder
as a camera etc. It is this multi-use and practicality that make its
popularity, plus the fact that it is easy and handy. On the negative side, cell phones may be used badly. They can
contribute to risks the way they contribute to safety. Cell phones may be
used to disturb people by ringing them up at night, at work, in holy places
such as mosques. They can be used to track down people and threaten them.
Also, people may receive unwanted calls as well as bullying messages and
immoral pictures (sex). In addition, people complain they have no privacy:
anyone can easily find you whenever they want. So, cell phones are a necessary evil in modern times. We should
regulate their use and learn how, where, and when to use them. They have to
serve us and not enslave us. |

Shakespeare, the greatest English actor, poet and playwright of all times
was born on April 26, His father John Shakespeare was a glove maker and a leather craftsman.
Mary and John Shakespeare had 8 children, but most of them died and William
was the only one to be famous. Shakespeare probably began his education at the age of six or seven at
the Shakespeare played in In his dramatic works, Shakespeare has provided insights into human
nature which equal those of the greatest modern psychologists. Hundreds of
expressions, sayings and proverbs that we use every day originated in
Shakespeare’s plays. “ To be or not to be that’s the question” , “ All’s well
that ends well” , “ Cowards die many times before their deaths” , and “ We
have seen better days” , “ Fair play” . |

4. Write an essay
outlining the causes and consequences of Divorce. |
||||
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Money is the one thing that people say they argue about most in
marriage, followed by children. However there are as many causes as there are
cases of divorce. In this game of revenge children become the pawns. Many studies place money or financial problems as the cause number
one. Couples who cannot make ends meet or whose wages and salaries do not
allow them to provide for a good living find it difficult to stay wedded.
This can be worse if the wife or husband (sometimes) is too demanding. Second, infidelity is another cause. The spouse, for example, may
become too ugly. Love life, on the other hand, may no longer be exciting
because the expectations or needs of one or both are not met. Addictions and substance abuse is cause number three for divorce. I
mean the use of drugs and alcohol. This may result in physical, sexual or
emotional abuse. Also, lack of communication between couples may be another cause. Poor
communication can bring a dramatic change in marriages. How they argue is
more important than what they argue about. Talking and expressing one's
feelings and ideas may save marriages. The consequences of divorce fall mostly on children. It has
devastating, long-term effect on them psychologically and emotionally.
Divorce happens at a time when kids need stability and support. Spouses, especially women, suffer from divorce because it is often
followed by a “crisis period” typically lasting for years
.These crises can be emotional, economical or have to do with parenting which
results in different disorders for children. Eventually, the main factors that make a marriage work are a
combination of the three C’s – communication, compromise, and commitment,
with a little bit of concession. |

Modern World suffers many headaches: Wars, famines, earthquakes,
droughts, pollutions to name only a few. Pollution which is a cause to other
problems has a litany of causes which seem unlikely to be beaten in the near
future. Human beings are the first to blame for pollution. It is their cars
that emit the fumes that pollute the air. It is their factories that release the
harmful elements in the atmosphere (lead, dioxin, toxin…..) It is human
beings who throw rubbish, sewage, oil etc into the waters (rivers and seas).
It is humans who cut down millions of trees which produce oxygen and medicine
for us. It is us, people, who are responsible for wars that destroy life on
land, air and sea and leave poisonous nuclear substances to kill living
things for thousands of years to come. This pollution is responsible for numerous lethal diseases and makes
people vulnerable to others such as asthma, allergies, and all chest
illnesses. It is also the cause of erosions, droughts, global warming, ozone
layer hole, and the worst is yet to come. To save what is left we have to act quickly, swiftly and altogether. A
detailed research is necessary to establish what actions should be taken to
properly fight and face pollution. However, education is the key to
protecting our environment. From my viewpoint, people have to be educated into the harmful effects
of pollution at schools, through campaigns, and advertisement on the media to
sensitise everyone and make them aware of the dangers of pollution .Also,
encouragement should be used as well as punishment. |

Today we are living in the Age of Technology but some people do not
like, trust, or want to use technology, especially computers. So we either accept these changes and move with the times, or we
resist and become technophobes. Technophobes are anxious because the environment in which they live
and work is changing. Most fears are expressed by a strong physical reaction.
Technophobes suffer feelings of self doubt and anxiety. They often feel
insecure and obsolete. Some worry that they will lose their job because they
cannot keep up with the times. In more extreme cases, technophobes convince
themselves that technology will take over the world or that humans will be
controlled by computers and robots. In most cases technophobes belong to older generations who were not
brought up playing with computer games and cell phones .They have never sent
a text message or heard of an iPod. Not only do
they not possess a DVD, they still have not worked out how to use their VHS
.These examples seem to validate the old saying, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. It is understandable that
technophobia exists. Experts in the field of technology are becoming younger
and younger .Traditionally information and knowledge has been passed down
from older generations to younger generations. Now it’s the other way around
.And that’s what upsets the elders. If ignorance is, in most cases, the cause of technophobia, then it
follows that knowledge and learning is the way to rectify the situation. What
technophobes need is information. Simple computer classes often prove highly
successful, especially where the student groups are made up of peer groups,
like-minded people of a similar age who are willing to learn but who have no
desire to be patronised by fellow students who are twenty years younger and
possibly quicker on the up-take. To sum up technophobia results from ignorance and the only way to
remediate it is by teaching the elder. This is because if you know it you
won’t fear it. |

I didn’t have class last Friday afternoon, so I accepted my friend’s
invitation to go the movies. “Amok” was on at the Royal cinema which is my
favourite place to watch good films. “Amok” is a film made by the Moroccan producer, Souheil
Ben Berka with a crew made of Moroccans, Europeans,
Americans, and Africans. Meriam
Makeba and Robert Leisol
played the leading roles. The story takes place in This film is worth seeing because it is a smashing one describing the
life of the blacks under the apartheid regime in My final opinion, though, about the film is that some parts are too
violent but it shows the harsh reality of the blacks in a rich but racist
regime. |

Terrorism is the use of violence for political reasons. This includes
any use of violence for the purpose of putting the public in fear. Terrorists typically reject democratic means of change, like
elections, and believe that only violence can bring about their political
goals. So, terrorists often strike out at ordinary, innocent people - even
children. They want to show that the government cannot protect its own
citizens. Radicalism or terrorism is an ideological movement and political
approach that is foreign to Islam. When examined closely, these radical
groups, it becomes clear that they are using a compilation of Communist/Marxist
slogans and methods. Terrorism, then, is one of the greatest dangers facing mankind and
which has to be fought before it engulfs the world. Firstly, people should be
willing to cooperate and give up some of their freedoms to be secure from
terrorism (checkpoints, inspections of identity…). Secondly, we should make
change in the law to increase police powers. Thirdly, we have to reduce the
sentences of convicted terrorists if they volunteered useful information.
Fourthly, we need to fight illiteracy, poverty, and unemployment to prevent
young people from joining terrorist groups who promise a better life. Finally, as a reminder, Islam considers any attack on innocent people
as a major crime. They are not Muslims those who adopt the “fanatical rage of
the Time of Ignorance” (Qur’an). |

9. Why do people move to the
cities? What are the causes and consequences of this drift? |
||||
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A lot of people emigrate from the
country to the city. This drift has a lot of causes as well as effects. The first cause, in my opinion, is
drought. Severe droughts have not only ruined the crops in Secondly, work is hard in the country
because poor peasants have no machinery. Most of them work more than
ten hours a day and do not have any vacation at all. Thirdly,
there is a shortage in schools in the Moroccan country side. That's why the
farmers prefer to move to the city so as to give their children good
education.
Fourthly, the country in Because
of all these and other things a lot of people prefer to drift toward the
cities. This immigration has, however, a lot of consequences. Among these
are: these people often settle in the outskirts of the cities where housing
is not adequate: no electricity, or tap water, or hygiene. Also
children often find it hard to adapt to the city life and may not continue
their education in crowded classes in the outskirts of the cities where these
families settle. So, they drop out of school and turn to drugs, crimes, and
violence.
Transportation, as well, is a problem here. Buses and taxies are often
crowded and uncomfortable. So these immigrants just jump "from the
frying pan into the fire" To
conclude, I think, providing people in the country with good infrastructure
and creating jobs for them in the country is the only way to encourage people
to stay there. |

Should women go out to work or stay at home? I think that’s a decision
women should make with their spouses and family. I personally think that
women should go out to work for various reasons: To begin with, the man’s salary is not enough to cover all the
household expenses and make ends meet. You have to have two to get by. You
need two incomes to survive in today’s troubled economy, hence the need for
extra income and a second pay-check. Also, It's selfish for women in this troubled economy to depend and
rely on their spouse for support: There's nothing worse than seeing some poor
guy working 60 hours a week while his wife sits at home and spends his money. Besides, women should contribute to society in some way even if they
are wealthy enough to live on one income...working for spending money,
volunteering, etc. Women should work to pass time and to make money. It's an
insult to the women in today's world who do have to work, raise kids, and do all
the other little things that need to be done. Moreover, housewives become overly dependent on the men in their
lives, which make them vulnerable. Women should not be denied of having
career aspirations. Women need to have the skills and ability to support
themselves if they need to. All in all, women should work if they want to but men and women should
then share all the responsibilities of the house and children 1/2 and 1/2.
Men should help raise the kids and do housework and women should make some
money. |

11. What are Advantages and disadvantages of modern
technology? |
||||
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Technology can be
defined as science applied to practical purposes. It is easy to think about
the advantages of modern technology, but what about its disadvantages?
Technology today has made life easier and quicker but also dangerous. Modern technology makes life easier for
people. For example, microwave ovens cook food easily. Dishwashers wash all
dirty dishes and dry them. Moreover TVs, personal computers, cell phones and
the internet have enhanced the welfare and wellbeing of people worldwide.
These have provided various ways of entertainment, have improved people’s
lives, helped hem to communicate, and offered them ways to get to distant
parts of the world in little time. Also, modern technology
saves many innocent lives. Medical
science is very progressive and vastly available today. Many life-saving
discoveries are all thanks to modern technology. Without brain scanners, fetal monitors, endoscopes, lasers, radioactive chemicals
and computers, a lot of people would struggle
with their health. On the minus side modern
technology has come up with deadly and dangerous weapons such as poison gas
bombs and nuclear bombs. And while many people live in horrible conditions
and famine, governments spend a lot of money on developing weapon industry.
Besides, the weapon machinery pollutes the globe and endangers our
environment. In addition, modern technology has
made us so dependent on it that we feel lost without it. We feel helpless,
defeated, and lost if our machines break down. We, also, become so addicted
to these tools that we loose all real interpersonal relationships. Modern Technology also creates
financial problems in families because it has dangled before their eyes a
litany of expensive gadgets they cannot afford. Thus, the push-button
dreamworld raises people’s material expectations to an unrealistic level.
Some people, then, may turn to crime and corruption to increase their
material wealth. Eventually, everything
that we use in life is good or bad depending upon the use. It contributed
immensely to the overall experience of humankind; to our material comfort and
well-being and to our greater understanding of the world we live in. However,
we must balance the use of technology with the possibility we may be crushed
by these new ways of doing things. |

12. Would you like to live in the country or in the city?Why? |
||||
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some people think
the country is better than the city and others take the city for granted.
However, both the country and the city have advantages and drawbacks. In the country,
the air is clean, the water is pure and the environment is beautiful while
most cities choke in their own filth and pollution. Also, people there are
friendly. A friendly smile while passing is standard in the country and it’s sincere;
whereas, in the city few people smile at you. In fact, they are likely to
regard you with suspicion if you smile at them. Besides, people in the
country enjoy more tranquillity than those in big cities. There is less
noise and life is calm and relaxed. Once on foot in the city, you find
yourself in an ant colony, or a cage with too many rats. As for food, it is
fresher in the country. Farmers sell fresh
produce, which they bring straight from the fields, at their stand just
around the corner. Moreover, the city is rife with violence and crimes: Many thefts and murders
often take place in the city. On the other hand,
the city has its own benefits. City residents have greater access to health care. When a person falls ill
there are good government and private hospital in the city to get treatment.
Also, children living in the city can get a good education, because there are
better schools in the city than in the village as well as libraries. Besides,
people in the city can lead a comfortable and enjoyable life and have access to more
social and cultural events. There are a lot of facilities and necessary
infrastructure: movie theatres, hotels, clubs, electricity, running water,
means of transport etc. Moreover, city dwellers have more job opportunities and
possibilities for making money as well as opportunities to progress in their life. Both the country
and the city have special qualities. Our choice –whether to live in a rural
or urban area - will depend on factors such as personality, mood, background,
habits etc. We should also try to create a world having advantages of both lives. |

13. What are the
benefits of humor? |
||||
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
According to Wikipedia, humor is the tendency of particular cognitive
experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. It is a birthright, a
natural part of life, which has multiple benefits mentally, physically, and
socially. Humor is the best medicine. People who laugh on regular basis have lower
standing blood pressure than people who don’t. Laughter exercises almost the
entire body and stimulates both sides of the brain. It boosts the immune
system making us stronger and better able to fight diseases. It protects the
heart, reduces stress, and fosters instant relaxation. It also releases
pent-up feelings of anger and frustration and makes us feel good. Socially, humor is the shortest distance between two people. Humor
initiates conversation and generally builds a more trusting atmosphere. Humor
unites us, reduces our hostility, deflects criticism, improves our moral, and
eases tension, especially when we laugh together. Humor is enjoyed best when
shared with others. Our works, marriages, celebrations, friendships, all need
humor. Laughs and smiles also help us avoid loneliness by connecting with
others who are attracted to genuine cheerfulness. To develop a sense of humor and make it part of our every day life we
need to take life lightly and seek out funny people. We also need to hang out with children more
often to enhance our playfulness and add humor to our life. Besides, we have
to watch comedy DVDs and TV shows, read comic authors and jokes, and spend
less time with very serious people. Eventually, we need to learn to see hope in the midst of sadness though
not all people have the same taste in humor. There are times when humor is
inappropriate to use. So, we have to be aware that humor can be a
double-edged sword that can generate a quantal
response – either a constructive or a destructive function. |

Cultures, traditions and ceremonies differ
from country to country. The Moroccan wedding ceremony is special, rich and
quite elaborate. The wedding ceremony I attended in my hometown last weekend
is no exception. The ceremony took place in a very large villa
which had been built for various celebrations. It was excellently furnished
and nicely decorated. It includes embroidered couches, nice sofas, and
comfortable upscale furniture. There were large set tables surrounded by ten
chairs each. The light from chandeliers above added to the beauty of the
atmosphere. The waiters in their white shirts and black slacks and bowties
were extremely attentive, very courteous, and friendly. At 9 o’clock, the
guests started to arrive. They were dressed up to the finest. Men were
wearing their most expensive and most beautiful attires. Most women dressed
up to the nines. They were wearing gorgeous Kaftans or Takchitas
or Djellabas – all Moroccan traditional robes.
Suddenly the sound of drums and trumpets and the ecstatic singing filled the
air. The guests stood up and craned their necks to see the entering
bride. Many began to dance to the tone
of the music of the orchestra. The bride and the groom greeted the audience
with smiles and hand gestures. Dressed in her Moroccan wedding gown of
brightly colored silk and embroidered with gold,
the bride hand in hand with her husband walked in slowly followed by three
women. The latter are in charge of beautifying the bride and changing her
into various traditional outfits. They had adorned her with heavy jewellery
and darkened her eyes with kohl. Her hands and feet had also been painted
with the henna the night before by a special artist who had used intricate
floral and geometric design in the presence of friends and relatives. After the bride and the groom had sat on their
throne facing the guests, the waiters served them milk and dates. The
orchestra sang all kinds of Moroccan pop songs. From time to time the bride
and groom would go out to change their attire. They wore clothes that
represented each region of Midnight was time for dinner. They served
various sumptuous dishes. There were more than three helpings. At 4 o'clock, the band was still playing. Then,
the waiters served tea and cakes. It was a breakfast for me. I wished the new
couple good luck and a blissful marital life. I was sleep-deprived and tired.
So, I left. |

15. The Effects of Cigarette Smoking (http://www.eslbee.com/effects_of_cigarette_smoking.htm)
|
||||
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There
have been numerous campaigns against cigarette smoking communicating that
this vice causes death. But a threat to health doesn’t seem to be a good
reason for quitting anymore. People somehow block themselves and ignore all
the information that is given to them. The purpose of this essay is to
discuss three effects of cigarette smoking, besides the broadly mentioned
possibility of developing cancer or dying, which are the smell of smoke, the
stained teeth, and the cost of doing it. The
first effect of cigarette smoking, and probably the one that the non-smokers
hate the most, is that it permeates everything around it. Smokers usually
have smelly hair, breath, clothes, and, if they smoke indoors, a smelly room.
The stench of cigarette smoke is very penetrating and hard to remove. Even if
the person quits smoking the odor remains for a
long time. The
second effect of cigarette smoking is one that most people don’t even take
into consideration. It stains the teeth yellow or sometimes even brown. Since
this effect is long term, most people are not aware of it when they begin
smoking. The truth is that a cigarette stain is very hard to eliminate from
the teeth, and it will probably end up costing a considerable amount of
money. Yellow teeth are disgusting because they give an unhygienic image and
make people look older. The
third effect of smoking is that it will eventually end up affecting the
smoker’s personal economy. Depending on the country the prices of cigarettes
can differ. But even at an affordable price the regular consumption of
cigarettes will eventually take its economic toll. These
are only three out of many other effects that cigarette smoking can have, but
to any sensible person they are more than enough to realize that smoking is
bad. People can’t possibly be proud of calling themselves smokers. It is
terrible for health as well as personal appearance. In the end, those who
live in poverty, stink of smoke, and have yellow teeth are the people who are
affected the most by this life threatening activity. |

16. Why people shouldn’t watch too much TV? (http://www.eslbee.com/why_people_should_not_watch_too_much_television.htm)
|
||||
|
|
|
|

|

Watching
television is an experience shared by most adults and children. It is cheap,
appealing, and within the reach of the general public. In this way, TV has
become an important mass media around the world. Sadly, this resource isn’t
used in a way that people could get the best possible benefits from it. The
purpose of this essay is to persuade the reader that people shouldn’t watch
too much television because the content of many TV programs is not
educational; it makes people waste time that could be used in more beneficial
activities; and it negatively affects people’s mental development. The
first reason why people shouldn’t watch too much television is because the
content of many TV programs is not educational. Nowadays, we can see movies,
series, and shows that present scenes of violence, sex, and drugs. This has
established wrong concepts among the audience that influence them into having
a negative behavior. Moreover, the impact this
tendency has on children is worse because they grow up with the idea of a
world where women must be slender and blonde to stand out, where problems can
only be solved with money and violence, and where wars are inevitable. The
second reason why people shouldn’t watch too much television is because it
makes people waste time that could be used in more beneficial activities. The
time we spend watching TV could be applied to useful activities like
exercise, reading, interacting with friends and family, activities that are a
crucial for a healthy lifestyle. The
third reason why people shouldn’t watch too much television is because it
negatively affects people’s mental development. According to several
scientific studies, watching TV for prolonged periods of time has a negative
effect over the intellectual development of children and leads to
deterioration of the mental capacity in older people by causing both
attention and memory problems in the long term. In
conclusion, people shouldn’t watch too much television because the content of
many TV programs is not educational; it makes people waste time that could be
used in more beneficial activities; and it affects people’s mental
development. However, this doesn’t mean that we should ban TV, but if we are
going to watch it, we should do it with moderation. Television is a resource
that we should learn to use through the right selection of programs by taking
an active and critical attitude towards it. |

I’m (First and Family name) from When I was 4 years old, I didn’t go to a nursery school like most kids
but entered a Koronic instead. There I learnt some Koranic verses by heart. The Fkih,
who was a friend of the family, taught me to count as well. At the age of
seven, I went to a primary school named Ibn Batouta School. I studied for six years there. I was good
at reading and memorizing things but I loathed writing, especially in French.
Then, I moved to Most of what I have learnt comes from books which I like reading,
especially in Arabic. However, I owe a lot to my teachers and my parents.
They taught me the importance of moral values, good manners, and patriotism. In my free time I like reading newspapers and books, I surf the
internet, and I watch some TV documentaries to widen my knowledge and enrich
my vocabulary. I like travelling, as well, because I like to discover other
places and make new friends. I hope I will pass this year so that I can go to university. I have
many dreams and aspirations and I hope to fulfil them. |

Obviously, there are two sides to the issue of today's clothing: good
and bad. Your clothes, certainly, do project a message and say a lot about
you. So, do you dress for yourself or for other people? That's the question. To begin with, people usually make judgments based on your outfit.
Imagine passing a young girl wearing a top that shows her boobs hanging out,
or an extremely short skirt. Many people would see her skin and not her face.
Some would say that she was trying to impress the opposite sex. Another group
would look at it from the moral and religious side. Others, on the other hand, would argue that she was enjoying her human
natural right and freedom and needn't cover her natural beauty. Many others
would say that she was trying to fit in with her friends. However, clothes such as tops, very short skirts, hanging-down pants,
very tight and transparent garments have more opponents than proponents. Many
of them will always grin and bear it, others will always throw comments that
it's 'immoral', indecent', 'licentious', 'pornographic', 'wrong', and the
like. As a youngster, I believe many young people use clothes as means to
show their body. So, as a student I believe pupils and teachers should dress
properly to school. Indecent clothes maybe distracting as well as promoting
sexual harassment. Hence, my call for
dress codes in Moroccan schools. Considering both sides of clothing controversy, I think it should be
kept within reasonable bounds; otherwise, the world would be going, little by
little, down the road towards nudity. However, I don't think people should be
covered from head to toe like a Moroccan sugar cone. |
