Healthy life I can't stand smoking
The most difficult thing for me is to sit in a place that is full of the smell of
cigarettes. When you visit an internet cafe', the first thing you face is this big
cloud of smoke and the unpleasant smell of cigarettes. It's completely not
healthy to stay in such place. Many people suffer from public places full of
smokers who fill the air with their smoke. Even those who used to smoke once
they stay away from this bad habit when they feel uncomfortable around
smokers. In the past people in Syria used to smoke only in public cafes, but
nowadays people smoke everywhere, in the restaurant, offices, street, parks,
even in the hall of the hospital. Smokers who used to smoke one pack daily and
stopped can feel how much they lost of their lungs capacity. Lately the
government has issued a law to prevent smoking in many places, but apparently
that didn't help .And the most important thing still is to find a way to convince
and help people to stay away from the temporary pleasure of smoking.

Weekend is something that I really look forward to after six busy days at school. I think, every person, whether an adult or a child, cannot work all the time and needs time for rest. That’s why weekends are useful and necessary. I usually spend time with my family or friends at weekends. Sometimes I need to be left alone for a while. In any case, I try to spend my weekends cheerfully and positively. Last weekend wasn’t much different from other free days but there was something special about it. It was my mum’s birthday. I woke up earlier than others on Sunday morning to buy her some flowers and to decorate our hall with colorful balloons. My parents were surprised how agile I can be and my mum was truly happy. My dad also prepared a special present for her. It was a crystal vase, which she had long wanted to buy. We were expecting some guests, so my mum decided to cook delicious meals. Her specialty is sweet-and-sour chicken and Olivier salad. She asked me to help her, so I did. If it wasn’t her birthday, I would have already been somewhere with my friends. We like walking at the nearest mall and going to the cinema, but that day I had to stay at home, which was somewhat boring. When the guests arrived, I understood that I was wrong. The evening was promising, as my mums’ co-workers came with their children. We decided to arrange a small party in my room. For that occasion my dad ordered two large pizzas and fruit juice. So the birthday wasn’t boring at all. On the contrary, we had lots of fun, played mafia, sang karaoke and danced to music. At the end of the day everybody was tired but happy.
