My Presentation ..


Hi Every body. . hope everyone like my presentation and know something new about Internet.
Really I benefit a lot from this project. Started from collected the information until present this information to the audiences.
My favorite part was the introduction. I tried to find a good introduction to keep the audience attention. Then I tried to restate my thesis to make the presentation very clear. However, I tried to use a pictures to make the presentation easy to understand. Finally, I conclude the presentation also by telling them again what I said, and asked the audience if they had a questions. 
I proud of my presentation it really worth it. However, I used a notes with the power point. The note was confused me. Because, one time I was in the second slide for example and I forgot to where is the note of this slide. So, if I present another time, I will not use these kind of notes. I will print my slides and write my notes on it. It will not confused me.

Finally, congratulation to everybody. We did it ;)

My Research Project Experience

First of all . . Congratulation everyone , we did it.
For two weeks, we worked very hard and each has different topic.
and finally, thanks god we are finished our research papers and almost the most important project at this level. We are finished with lot of experiences in writing a paper in English.

This project is worthful from the first day I worked on it. When I went to Concordia's library, I benefit lot from how to use CLUES, how to use database and how to benefit from library staff. I chose my topic which is The Internet history and started to visit library and search books. The most interesting part of this project was when I found what I want in the library. 

After collecting suitable, the challenging part is coming. It's not easy to divide the topic into subtopics, rephrase the paragraph, and explain each part clearly. Some subtopics have different different explanation and I must chose the best and the correct one. Moreover, there is a tough work at the end of the project which is the references. It took a long time from me because its a first time to reference in English. 
Finally, I'm proud of my work and very satisfied with my final product. I enjoyed with my topic because the history of any topic is interesting.

Population In Saudi Arabia



Saudi Arabia's population as of July 2006 is estimated to be about 27,019,731 including about 5,756,076 resident foreigners. Some cities and oases have densities of more than 1,000 people per square kilometer (2,600\miles). Saudi Arabia population is characterized by rapid growth and large cohort of youths.
Population growth rate

2.06% (2007 )

Birth rate

29.1 births/1,000 population (2007 )

Death rate

2.55 deaths/1,000 population (2007)


In my opinion the major problem In Saudi Arabia is finding jobs. This problem happen in order to high growth of foreign residents.In 1985 the number of foreigners was estimated at 4,563,000, with a total foreign work force of 3,522,700. In 1990 the number of foreigners had risen to 5,300,000. A goal of Saudi planners continued to be a reduction in the number of foreign workers. This may help to insure more jobs for Saudi people

In general, employment opportunities for Saudi women are limited. The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that the unemployment rate for women in 2001 was 9 percent, compared with close to 4 percent for men, and opportunities for women are concentrated in the education and health services sectors. Literacy rates for women are also much lower that those of men. Some 67 percent of women 15 years and over are literate, compared with 84 percent of men.

Gender or Cross-cultural?

Is the differences between males and females communicating similar to the differences between people from two different culture ???

I think there is similarity between gender differences and culture differences. When men and women talk to each other , each one think that the other don't understand him\her. Conversely, when people from different culture talk to each other, they don't under stand the culture differences. They need a time to understand. Howbeit, they can marry each other. It depend on people demands.

My First Book In English :)

The Kite Runner is the first novel for me in English. It's not easy to read a book in other language. However, it not be the last book. I decide to read more books in english to improve my reading, collect more vocabulary and to get interesting. Our group was very enjoying to read this novel and talk about it. This project was the first step for me to read in English.
When I present, I limit myself with time, specific information, and the audience who don't know any thing about this novel. I search to be able to tell the right information in the right way. Moreover, I tried to attract students to read this novel.

The written part is the most interesting part in this project. It's like a brainstorm for me because I tried to remember the story but in my way. Finally, I decide to read the second novel by the same other " A Thousand Splended Suns".

Happiness

1. Do you think these data collection tools are valid scientific tools? Why or Why not? (In research this is part of what is called validity)
No, I don't think that these data collection tools are valid scientific tools because it's easy to know your degree before see it on the screen. You can know which answer for happy people, which for medium and which for sad people. For example, the first two answer for sad people, the third one for medium and the last two answers for happy people.

2. Do you think your results would be if you took the on-line questionnaire at a different time, on a different day? Why or why not? (In research this is part of what is called reliability
In my opinion, the result would not changed very much. The questionnaire measure specific things. Time and place couldn't affect the questionnaire

3. Which of the two tools is better to do with a large group of people (eg. university students, people living in cities versus rural locations, etc.) to discover patterns of happiness in a given population? Why do you think that one is better suited?
I think the best tools to measure the happiness is to do it in a large group with same environment. So, the university student are all in the same environment, on the same age.
However, people from different environment have different situations which may affect the questionnaire.

My Experience On Learning English

First of all, I glad to study with an active group like our group and with amazing teachers like Marley and Scott . Hopefully , we will have an enjoyable time together. 

I started to learn English at Concordia from level five which is intermediate one. I think learning English at Concordia is worth. I learn many things not only the second language. I learn with different people from different cultures which make me know a lot of things about others. I made a lot of friendships .

Learning at Concordia is not easy. Teachers are worked and worked hard. They try to work on different parts at same time. My first session was the hardest session for me in order to learn in different methods and different environment. But after while, I like the way they teach us. I improved in reading, listening ,even in writing which is my problem. Now, I'm enjoy studying my second language.

Finally, I suggest some tips and advices for students who start to study their second language. The best advices can be summarized in one word practice. Work with people from different cultures, start a conversation with them. Try to read newspaper and magazines which means a lot of vocabulary. Practice and more practice.
