One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. The tree asked the boy :Come and play with me. I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees anymore" The boy replied : I want toys. I need money to buy them. The tree said :sorry, but I do not have money, But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money the boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples . The tree was sad . One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned , and the tree was excited the tree said : Come and play with me. The man said :I do not have time to play.

Hi every one !!!

The hobby I like to practice and would like to write about is falconry. It is a sport that is based on hunting with falcons where trained falcons hunt for humans. This hobby was practiced in the country for thousands of years. Falconry is a base of our culture and the falcon is a national symbol of my country. It started as a need and then developed to be a traditional sport. People who practice this hobby usually have exceptional skills in the falcon hunting and training which require a lot of patience and ability to train the falcon. Although this type of hunting decreased among the world, it is still an important sport in our community. Sheikh Zayed introduced a program for releasing falcons to their original habitat. He supported this sport by encouraging researches, latest technologies and scientific methods for the propagation of falcons. We will stay practicing this hobby to pass it to the other generations.

Hiiiiiiiiiii students....

I have many hopes in my life. One of them is playing football. First, every weekend I play football near my house with my relatives and neighbors. I like this sport because I want to be a famous player in the world in future. It becomes important games in the world. There are some rules for this game. For example, When you play football, you should dived the player in to two team and each team should have different clothes or something to know each other.

Moreover, when I watch football match on T.V, I give my attention for it. For instance, the world cup is the biggest event in the world. It happens every 4 years and many people watch it whether in or outside the stadium. Also, when it begins, each person around the world encourages different teams. Next, playing football is more exciting than other hopes because it is common and many people care about it and feel interest.

In my spare time,I like to look after a special animal - a cheetah.I got him when he was five months old.I was told to keep him with a cat so he learns to behave like a cat.During his feeding time I give him fresh meat.I play with him for a certain time so he forms a bond towards me.During summer I have to take him to a vet to shave him and to get his injections to protect him from diseases.He also has his nails cut every month.He sleeps in a big,air conditioned room.The teampreature is at a certain degree so he is confortable and feels that he is in his habitat.Every day around four o'clock I take him for a walk so he get his exercise.He is now a year old and his diet has to be changed.He eats two chicken per day and drinks a lot of water.

Photographing

Hello everyone, my best favorite hobby is photographing and I am very interested in taking photographs. Sometimes I take some good photos and sometimes I take some bad photos or not clear, this is because I have it is difficult to use and Ithink it is good idea to take some training courses to improving my photographing skills. As you can see from the picture, the Nikon camera has many features and has a high quality picture, It has 12 megapixel and it has zoom for long distance. It is very expensive camera, it is around 5000 DH.

I always like to take photos for my family and nature views. I sometimes go to Al Ain to visit Hafeet mountain, because it is very nice place to take some photos. Also there are a restaurant and a hotel on the top of the Hafeet mountain and you can see a nice view around Al Ain. I took many photos for animals that live in the mountain such as goats and foxes. At night you can see a lot of bats flying in the sky and I took some photos for them.

My favorite sport is volleyball. I was played this sport for 5 years. I like play Volleyball because I saw my father play it. So today I will explain to you how can you play it. Volltball is one of the most beautiful sport in world. Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams. The low of the game is for each team (6 players on each team) to send the ball over the net, and to prevent the ball from being grounded on its court. The ball is put into play by the right back - row player who serves the ball by hitting it over the net to the opponent’s court. A team is allowed to hit the ball three times to return it to the opponent’s court. A player isn’t allowed to hit the ball twice just once , except when attempting a block.The game continues until the ball touches the floor or goes out or a team fails to return it to the opponent’s court. The team that first scores 25 points will win in the match. Today there are more than 24 million Americans who play volleyball. And there are 800 million players worldwide who play volleyball at least once a week.

This picture is a beautiful one because of many reasons . First of all, it is my car and I like it as my love. Also, it is a luxurious car because all facilities which I want is in my car. I take this picture in a good time when whether is full of clouds. Moreover, I used to go to sandy places such as Al Bada’ which located in Al-Ain and FJ goes in sandy places easily. Another reason is my car described as an economical car not like Nissan. Although it is a large car, the speed is pretty fast as my wish. The colour of my car is grey and this is my favorite colour. Also, it is famous as human names such as Fatima Jasem. The last reason is that it has a strong body against the accidents. To conclude, I recommend any of my friends to buy like my car. It is helpful and wonderful car.

Fishing

Hi everyone. As you know, my favorite activity is fishing. I like sea fishing most because I love being on the sea. It relaxes me and makes me happy even if I don't catch. Sometimes, as you can see from the picture, I get lucky and catch a monster. This is a 45 kg Wahoo caught when I was on holiday with my brother in Indonesia. It fought me for about 45 minutes. It tasted good too.

I have been fishing since I can remember. When I was a little kid I used to get on my bicycle and cycle 20 miles to a good fishing spot in England with my brother. I’ve fished all over the world, wherever I have lived. The best fishing I’ve had has been in Bali and Sri Lanka. Both places have great fighting fish that are pretty common. I’ve caught boatloads in Sri Lanka and had to sell them to the hotel.
