The Great job in the Whole World

Are you looking to get respect from all people? Are you looking to be helpful in your community? Are you looking to have knowledge about the important organism in the earth? In my opinion, the most important job is a doctor for three reasons: always help people, save people’s life, and good knowledge about important living organism.

Helping people is one of the characteristics that the doctors have. First, the doctors always ready in every time and everywhere to help the people, who suffer from pain, or people who hurt by others. For example, we have never seen hospital has vacation in chrisms days or international day, but they are always in the event place to be ready for any dangers that may happen. Therefore I can say the doctors always sacrifice by their private life and happiness time to help people. Finally, the doctors are on time anywhere to help, to survive and to keep us always happy with good health.

The second importance of the doctors is saving people’s life. First, they sometimes spend a lot of times in surgery to success them and survive who are close to death. Second, they have to divide their time between hospital and their own life to be ready and on time such as they must to sleep in the hospital to be ready for any emergency situation. Last but not least, the doctors are the only one who can give the vat description of the medicine for people who are sick such as diabetes and asthma. Finally, spending a lot of time making surgery, dividing their time, writing a good description make the doctors save people life.

The third character of the doctors is having a good knowledge about important living organism. First, any doctor spent more than ten years for studying and preparing for the most important job in the world. For example, they always read and search about the new way for surgery or to find a new innovation of medicine. Second, some doctors had to leave their country, their cultural and everything behind them and want foreign country to study and to bring the most modern technology of medicine to their country. Finally, spending a lot of years studying and going to other country make them have a good knowledge to be very important person.

There are lots of job which may important for life or for people. However being a doctor is the one of most important job to survive on earth because saving human’s life is not easy and all innovation in the world is created by people who need help in their weakness time. In short, the doctors are very important because they always help people, save people’s life, and good knowledge about important living organism.

Also, we had Egyptians dancers who did a great dance beside a famous sing like “Al Salam Alekm”. Also, there were a lot of companies who had chance to talk about their products such as, TELUS, Show, Rogers and BC Hydro.

My love- Hate Relationship with Camping

There are two reasons I love camping and two reasons I hate camping. The first reason to love camping is living outdoors for few days refreshes my mind and renews my spirit. After I have spent a few days in nature, I feel free and happy. The second reason to love camping is camping brings my family closer together because everyone helps plan the trip, set up the campsite and prepare the meals. On other hand, sometimes I hate camping. The first reason I hate camping is I don’t sleep well. Also, I hate to sleep on the ground because the ground is hard. When I get up in the morning, I can hardly move. My back hurts, and my muscles ache. The second reason I hate camping is that we always forget something important. We forget to bring our tent. In last year we forgot to bring our tent, so we had to sleep in the open. I did not sleep at all because I am afraid on snakes and bugs. If I see a snake and bug, I am going to be frozen with fear. Why do I continue to go camping when I have such a love-hate relationship with it?

Reasons Not Own a Hummer

There are at least two reasons for not buying the huge, military-type vehicle called a Hammer. First of all, Hummers are big gas hogs. For example, the H2 model gets less than 10 miles gallon of gas.

In one year, a Hummer gives of 24,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, which is two to three times more than average cars give off. The U.S. government’s Environmental Protection Agency gives it a filing grade. Finally, to sum up, for the health of your bank balance as well as for the health of the environment, don’t buy a Hummer.

How To Fall a Drivin Test

It is easy to fail a driving test if you really try. First, Park your car so close to the next car that the examiner cannot get into your car to begin the test. It also helps to have your two front wheels far up on the curb- blocking the sidewalk if possible. Second, back out of the parking space really fast. After that, try to hit something such as another car. Don't stop at stop sign, but speed up to get through intersections quickly. Then try to make your tires squeal while turning corners. Next, look for an opportunity to turn the wrong way on a one-way street. Entering a one-way street in the wrong direction will cause you to fail immediately. Finally, don't stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, but use your horn to frighten them out of your way. Just one of these techniques will probably get you on F on a driving test, and two or more certainly will.
