On the 10th of June, we (Khulood and Ahlaam) shall go to England, where we will stay for two weeks.
Nowadays, we are reading many new books. These include The Breadwinner, A Girl Named Disaster, The travels of Ibn Battuta, Sugar Blues, Rules, Dude, That’s Rude!, and How to Take the Grrrrrrrr out of Anger.
Here are a few pictures.
Sorry that I couldn’t find the pictures for the three other books.
To improve your physical wellness, you can take a walk every day and eat healthily. It is important not to eat too many sugary snacks and drinks that contain a lot of sugar. If you do have something sugary, then brush your teeth immediately to prevent cavities and plaque. Rather than eating sugary food or junk, try healthy alternatives, such as muffins, healthy cookies, even fruit if you want something refreshing and sweet. It is better to filter your water to make it cleaner and safer for you to drink. It is also important to exercise, so maybe you could play basketball, soccer, or try cycling and roller blading.
To improve your emotional wellness, control your anger and keep your temper. This will help you a lot, hopefully. Try to be happy all the time. It is very important to be optimistic and chipper. When you are upset, try to feel grateful for the stresses of life. Remember that everything happens for a reason, and you are going through this for some purpose. Look at people who are going through something worse than you, this may help you feel grateful.
Improving your social wellness is important. Be outgoing and friendly. To make friends, you must be a friend. You have have to reach out to people who you want to be your friends. Always choose good friends. Be careful about who you choose to be your friend. Friends can influence you as much as you can influence them. Friends are fun, and should share your sorrows as well as your joys. A good friend will stick with you all the time, not leave you when you are made fun of or taunted by others.
I think that the best place to go to for a vacation in Saudi Arabia is Abha. Abha is not like the rest of Saudi Arabia. Most of Saudi Arabia is humid and hot, but Abha is rainy and cool. Abha is located high up in the mountains, and is the capital of Asir. Abha often has rain and has even seen a few flash floods. Not much of Saudi has snow in the winter, but Abha is an exception. Abha hardly ever sees the temperature go above 35 C.
Every Tuesday, there is a market in the centre of Abha. The market has produce, spices, and clothes. Rijaal Almaa is a 40 minute drive down the mountains to the west of Abha. It has six storey traditional houses 600 years old that are built from local stone and quartz. One of the houses has been made into a museum and it has examples of traditional women's and men's clothes, ornaments, farm implements, and utensils. It costs 10 Saudi riyals to go inside, which is very inexpensive. There are two ways of getting to Rijaal Almaa, to go straight down the Asir mountains through Sawdah or going around the hills. Going straight down the mountains is very steep, so you should be very careful.
