Hi Holly , I'm so glad that you decided to come to Saudi Arabia , I hope you are having a good time there, also there are some advises that you should do it . First , you ought to wear hegab to cover your head. Second, you had better not drive the car because you know the rules there can't let the woman drive the car ,she has to hve a driver for her. Lastly , you should call me to show you a great places to have enjoyable time over there.
ReplyDelete1. "I hope you are having a good time there"
Deletebut I'm not there yet!
2. Advice is plural--not advices.
3. "there are some advises that you should do it."
Simplify this sentence to: Here is some advice for you.
4. "there can't let the woman drive the car."
Does this sentence make sense to you?
5. "Lastly, you should call me to show you a great places to have enjoyable time over there."
Would you mind being my driver?
Hi Holley, I’m so thrill to hear that. however, you should learn some information about Saudi Arabia. it is a big country, so the climate varies . you ought to decided which region you want to visit. don’t wary about the huge distance between the cities.becaus there many developing transportation commute you to the new places.second,you supposed to learn some Arabic word, you need that especially when you visit the traditional markets. although you know (afa),you had better to learn more about Saudi’ custom. finally, I know that you are wanderlust, so there are a lot of notable countries around of Saudi Arabia. You could visit Egypt, Dubai, and turkey. remember that you don’t have to get visa to reach there. i hope that you have a nice trip.
ReplyDelete1. "becaus there many developing transportation commute you to the new places."
DeleteThere ARE many DEVELOPED ways to transport you around the country.
Really? Such as...?
2. "second,you supposed to learn some Arabic word, you need that especially when you visit the traditional markets."
How's this: Kem hada? Walla la kisraaaaak!
3. "You are wanderlust."
This word is awkward. The correct way to say this is "you love to travel." And you're right. I do.
Hello Holly, I’m so enthusiastic that you’ve decided to visit my country. If you aim to have a save and pleasurable travel in Saudi Arabia, You should do the following advise. First of all, you must go to Saudi Consulate in Houston to know what is the process for obtaining a truism visa. In order to get the visa easily you have to have a booking in a hotel in the first city, which you want to arrive, and you should have an airline ticket. Secondly, you should to read about the customs in Saudi Arabia because it’s totally different from United State. For instance, In Saudi Arabia women not only can’t drive but also must to wear Abaya, which is a black dress, cover all the body. Eventually, I’ve written the process to getting a visa and some custom; furthermore, you should do you’re research. In sort, If you have any question about Saudi Arabia and customs I’ll be glad to answer.
ReplyDelete"In Saudi Arabia women not only can’t drive but also must to wear Abaya, which is a black dress, cover all the body."
Delete1. No "must to." Only "must."
2. It's okay that I can't drive in your country. I'll just walk. How far is it from Riyadh to Jeddah?
3. And it's okay that I have to wear a black dress in the desert. I like sweltering in the heat. Not a problem. I was even thinking of getting an abaya to wear here in Houston.
Hi Holly, I'm so excited that you've decided to come visit my country. In order for you to have a safe and enjoyable stay in Angola, here is what you should know. First, you must prepare your freshest clothes, such as shorts, t-shirts, your swimming suit, your hat, your sandals, your sneakers and please you should not forget your sun protector, because Angola is a hot country and you can get skin burn easily. Second, you have to take a considerable amount of money if you really attempt to have an enjoyable holyday. Third, now you have your things packed, you ready to go with your family, so as soon as you get there you need to get a car so that you visit more places and I would advise you to get a jeep, it’s better for the type of life in Angola. Fourth, like any other country undeveloped or developed, there are problems such as robberies, so you have got to be careful with everything that is related to it; and lastly you need to beware that people are very racist and you should be careful. In conclusion and as a personal recommendation you have to visit the many points of tourism in order for you to enjoy the country; Luanda is the main city but there’s many others states that you can enjoy on your holyday with your family, places covered with beautiful natural views; I know you love camping, beaches and rivers when it’s summer time so you might consider places such as: Caotinha’s beach-Benguela and Cascades-Huila.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure you and your family are going to love this beautiful country. I hope you enjoy your stay here.
My regards,
Petra Prata
"you can get skin burn."
DeleteEither: your skin can burn OR you an get sunburn
"that people are very racist and you should be careful."
Racist against me because of my skin color? What's going to happen to me?
Your paragraph is great--full of interesting details that make me want to read more and more. And one day, I hope to come visit your country and go camping with you!
About the second point, the people being racist at my country; because Angola isn't that much a develop country in terms of school, education; so we don't have enough people to match the requirements demanded in the labor market. Therefore many people from others country are called to fill the jobs. That's one of the reason's why angolan people can be very racist for people from another nationalities. They can call names like : 'hey you white, go to your country', sometimes they even can be the opposite they can be very welcoming but they never get physical.
DeleteThanks for explaining that, Petra. Now I understand. Probably lots of foreigners come to Angola for the oil industry and its subsidiaries.
DeleteHello Holly, I'm glad that have decided to visit my country, Mexico is a nation rich in history, tradition, culture, and natural beauty. Before visiting Mexico you may need to get the following vaccinations: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid and Rabies. To avoid being a target of a crime, you shouldn't wear exuberant clothing or jewelry and you must not carry excessive amounts of money. In yor stance you have to visit Los Cabos is a favorite choice for expert divers and has beautiful beaches and lively nightlife. Also you can't miss “El Arco,” a monumental natural arch rock formation where the Pacific and Sea of Cortez waters meet, which has become a symbol of the region. After you return home If you are not feeling well, you should see your doctor and mention that you have recently traveled to Mexico.
ReplyDelete"and you must not carry excessive amounts of money"
Deletenot a problem since I don't have excessive amounts of money (but I wish I did).
Are you inviting me to join you in Los Cabos? I think that would be a very nice gift to your teacher who is working so hard to help you improve your writing and grammar.
hello holly, im glad that you've decided to visit Saudi Arabia. i hope you'll have fun there. here is some information you've to know about Saudi Arabia to stay safe, and to have fun. first, you must not try to drive there, otherwise the police officers would throw you in jail, so you had better be careful with that point. second, all women in Saudi Arabia must cover their hair, so you must cover your hair with "Hejab", although you're not muslim, but that's the law. lastly, if you're going to Jeddah, you'd have fun there, i assure you. there are a lot of places to have fun. you can go to see the biggest fountain in the world, King's fahad fountain. if you like history, and you'd like to know about Saudi Arabia's history, you can go to bab Makkah "Makkah's gate". its a historic place to know about old Saudi Arabian cultues, and history. i hope you'll enjoy your time there.
ReplyDelete"first, you must not try to drive there, otherwise the police officers would throw you in jail, so you had better be careful with that point."
DeleteThat seems a bit harsh to me. What do you think about that?
"second, all women in Saudi Arabia must cover their hair, so you must cover your hair with "Hejab", although you're not muslim, but that's the law."
That's not a problem. I've already ordered my Dolce and Gabbana abaya. I"m sure I can find a nice hijab to match.
Hi Holly, I'm so excited that you've decided to come visit China. In order for you to have a safe and enjoyable visit in Qingdao,so I want give you some advice.First of all,you must drive slow on the road,you know,Driving a car in China is very dangerous,nobady yield you even you obey the traffic rules,beacause a lot of Chinese guys like drink with drive.Secondly,you had better buy a phone,because street robbery always happen.Wish you have a nice vication
ReplyDeleteWhy will a phone help me if I'm robbed? Won't they just steal my phone along with my money?
DeleteHolly, although I'm sure that Vietnam is a wonderful country to visit ( I hope that), here are important things you need to know before you come to my country. First, you had better not go out alone at night and wear valuable jewelry. You could be robbed. Second, you should know emergency phone numbers such as the police (113), and the fire department (114). If you want to travel by taxi, you ought to choose reliable taxi companies. Finally, enjoy the beauty of Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteDiem,
DeleteThanks so much for your advice. It sounds like it will be difficult for me to enjoy the beauty of Vietnam if I'm constantly worried about getting robbed!
Holly, I'm so excited that you've decided to come visit my country. In order for you to have a safe and enjoyable visit in China.I can give you some advice.First, you had better have a phone in China.As a visitor ,I think it's necessary to get one in foreign country.Secound,you should have a Chinese translator(I konw you can't speak Chinese...Oh oh..),and the translator is best to be your tour guide.Thrid,you could go with your family.Don't be alone when you go to the vacation.If you have done all of these advice,I think you will have a nice vacation.Welcome to China.Good luck!
ReplyDelete"Don't be alone when you go to the vacation."
DeleteWhy? Will something bad happen to me?
Hello Holly, It's a wonder full idea that you've decided to visit Venezuela. In order for you to have a safe and enjoyable trip, here is what you should know. First of all you have to bring light clothing otherwise you are going to be uncomfortable. Since the international airport is in the capital which is located in the coast, you should take advantage and go over the coast to visit all the beaches. I highly recommend you to go to: Tucacas, Margarita, Los Roques and Mochima. If you are going to Los Roques or to Margarita, you have to know that they are islands and that the only way to get there is by plane or a cruiser.
ReplyDeleteAnother place that you must have to visit is The Angel Fall which is located in Canaima at the south. It is a beautiful and imposing water fall, and as far as I know, it was in the ranking for the new selection of the seven natural wonders of the world, another reason why you must have to go there. Finally if you have extra time and if you like the extreme nature, you should go to The Amazonas (called Amazon in English), which is a jungle that connect with Brazil. However if this is too much nature for you, you can also visit Merida which is a cold state and very romantic. If you go there, you ought to carry a good coat because this state is close to a peak of a mountain. I hope this can help you to plan your trip, if you have any question call me. Oh I almost forget something! Since you are going to my country, would you mind if I send something to my grandmother with you?
thanks you, see you soon!
you must have to
DeleteEither you must or you have to, but there is no you must have to!
I enjoyed reading all of your advice and I hope to travel to your beautiful country some time soon.
Of course I wouldn't mind taking something to your grandmother. In fact, it would be my pleasure.
Dear Holly, I am so excited that you have decided to come visit my country. In order for to have a safe and enjoyable visit in Taiwan, here is what you should know. First, I will show you some important places you have to go, such as Kenting National Park, the mountains in the center of Taiwan, and night markets. Second, I will talk about what you can do in those places. Kenting National Park was as fun as last paragraph I introduced. You can enjoy on the beach, eat delicious seafood. Next, the mountains in the center of Taiwan are one of the amazing places. You can have good views to see meddle of Taiwan; moreover, you must drive car from West of Taiwan to East of Taiwan. You will feel how the weather and landscape change. When you arrive the top of mountain, you will feel that you are in the cloudland. The last one is that you must go around night markets. What is “night market”? It is opened form 6:00 P.M to 1:00 A.M. There are a lot of night markets in each city. You can eat a lot of specific food that is famous in this area; in attrition, you can play some games and bought a lot of cheap, fashion and unique clothes and accessories in the night markets. Lastly, I will inform you what stuff you should bring and habits you should know. You may bring jacket, and cravat to Taiwan because the areas of mountain must be cold. However, except mountain, the weather could be hot. Also, you need to prepare umbrella with you. Sometimes, it may rain afternoon, but it could take 30 minutes to one hour. You must still have good time. Moreover, do not worry about tips, because we do not need to pay tips to servers. You could bargain the price in the night markets. Finally, would you mind i was your guider? Please let me know what else will you decide, I will do my best for you.
ReplyDeleteYou must still have good time.
DeleteI think you mean "you will still have a good time."
Taiwan sounds fantastic and yes, I would love for you to be my guide! I'm ready for the mountains and the night markets. I've already packed my bags!
Hey Holly, i'm so pleased to hear that you have decided to come visit Saudi Arbia. If you want to have fun in there, here's what you should do and should not to do. First, you have to visit Al-Riyadh which is the capital city of Saudi Arabia because we have two of the tallest buildings in Middle East. Second, you should wear abayah and hijab because that's the rule in Saudi Arabia that women must at least cover their hair. Third, you had better not listening to music while people are playing becasue its against our religion. Finally , I hope that i'll be there when you come to help with anything that you want, so you had better call me if you need anything.
ReplyDeleteshould not to do-->should not do
Deleteyou had better not listening to music--> not listen
Since I'll probably be going straight to jail (like in Monopoly, do not go to Riyadh, do not collect $200), is it okay for me to listen to music there?
