On Thursday, I visited an American family with my brother in the Thanksgiving Holiday. The American family house was so large, they have 6 rooms 4 bedrooms 1 room of music instruments and 1 Computer room also for study. The American family have 3 children and 1 cute dog. They invite thier friends from Washington, DC and they were very friendly. My brother and I were tooking about our country and how long we were in us. Finally we aet turkey and it was a wonderful day.

Thank you :)

Last week I was studied in the library, I went outside the library to smoke a cigarette. The American guys come to me and ask me if I have a cigarette, I gave him a cigarette and he set next to me, he asks me where I am from. I said for him I am from Qatar, he was just now my country name but he didn’t know where is that. And he think we live in the desert and we don’t have home also he thought we didn’t have cars and we travel by camels. I said for him all of that are wrongs, we live in good homes and we have cars and there are a lot of towers and malls. Finally, I asked him if you would like to know more about my country, you can search online and you will know how it is a beautiful country.
