When I went to Lose Angeles, there were a lot of good resturants, but in my opinion the best resturant is the Italian resturant. First, this resturant is so expensive, but the food that they make is very healthy and very delicious. They have different kinds of food such as margarita pizza, garlic cheese breads and lasanga. Also they have different kinds of drinks. Moreover, the good thing is that they make the food in the front of you. Sometimes they make a party and this party will go crazy, like house parties and the night clubs, so there are a lot of people you go to meet and chat with. Also the resturant is located in Los Angeles' downtown, and that makes it easy to get to the resturant. We know a lot of people like seafood and this resturant is very famous for sea food. Also there is one thing I forgot to tell, which is a very good thing, that when you order you will get your order very quickly, in four or five minutes, not like the other resturants. Finally, this resturant is a very big resturant, it can take over 100 people to sit inside the resturant.

We know that students sometimes get stress from the TOEFL test. And sometimes it improves their scores and sometimes it make them worse. When I take the TOEFL test I feel very comfortable, and that makes my scores go up. But the problem is when we take the TOEFL exam and we start with it, we are going to get confused by some of the questions. After these confusing questions I have stress, then I'll have a big problem which is that I am going to think about these confusing questions and I'll lose a lot of time. So when I lose a lot of time I won't have time to read all the questions, and these problems make you get more stress. So all these things makes the scores worse. When I get the right answers I'll blow the stress away and I feel more comfortable to answer the other questions. Also when I feel comfortable I'll have a lot of time to use with the confusing questions, so that will make my scores go up.

We know that is each person has to have stress. Also the stress is different from person to person, and the same stress is different from level to level. But the problem is there are a lot of people don't know how to deal with stress or how to fight stress to put it away. A lot of people fight stress by using exercises or talking to somebody or smoking. A lot of time I fight stress I smoke a lot and talk to someone that I know very well. The thing that is working out most with me to get the stress away is doing exercise, because I always have stress when I get angry. So, I exercise and get my anger off, and after I get my anger away, the stress will go away too. All these things are very helpful. also if I am not going to control myself and know how to deal with the stress I think that I am going to have disease problems, such as heart attack and cancer from the earliest age.

I already planned for my future job and i decided to work with Saudi Cultura Mission. I plan to be an adviser for students. Also, I'll work with the financial part. I plan to work there because i'll have a lot of money and a lot of knowledge of people. Moreover, in this job I don't have to work a lot of time. For example, there are people who work more than 6 hours a day, but with this job I am going to work about 5 or 6 hours a day and sometimes less than that. But it does not mean that this job is so easy; it is hard sometimes, because the person who is going to work there has to have responsibility. what I have been thinking about is that I am going to be far away frim my family and how I am going to be allowed to stay and work in the USA. These all are disadvantages. But the advantage is that I'll know a lot of important people and I'll have a chance to help the people who need help, and this will be good to get people to like me.

Summary:

The article about smoking talks about women and smoking. From the tobacco industry targeting women to risks of smoking in pregnant women, the author states that smoking is similar to a “full-blown epidemic”. The problems associated with smoking are paramount in both men and women, however, with women, it affects reproductive qualities. Next, the article talks about the basics of nicotine and why we are addicted to tobacco. The author also states that the tobacco industry spends so much money to lure young adults, women especially, to start smoking. Lastly, the article talks about the risks involved with smoking while using birth control and smoking while pregnant. Both risks are dangerous to not only a baby, but also young children.

Reaction:

This article is very good. It has lots of evidence to support what it says. I never knew how nicotine reacts with the brain to make people addicted. This article is very detailed. Also, there are so many risks and diseases that I did not know that could come from just smoking. I also did not know that the tobacco industry targets women by showing fit and thin pictures of women in advertisements and movies. Also, it shows how women are happy smoking, but in reality, they are very miserable. Smoking is a very addictive and dangerous habit that affects not only the smoker, but also the people surrounding the smoker. The tobacco industry targets young people because the old people that are smoking will die soon, so they need a new generation to get money from.
