Alexandria is the second biggest city in my country, Egypt, and I live in this city. It is a beautiful city, and people there are very kind and polite. Tourists like to visit my city because it is on the sea. When I walk down the Kornash, the largest street, I see the beautiful blue sea and sky, and the beautiful green grass and trees. In the spring, the flowers grow in many colors: yellow, red, and blue. The most beautiful scene is the white birds. In the winter, a very big flock of birds migrates to this place. I watch them while they skillfully fish from the sea. The birds watch the fish, and they wait patiently for a long time. When the fish come to the surface, they fly quickly and catch them. In the fall, the city looks like a very old man because the leaves of the trees fall from the trees. That is my city, and I think it is the most beautiful city in the world.

My Thrifty Mother
My mother is very thrifty, and that is very important for our family happiness. If my mother wants to buy something, usually she checks the prices from several places before she decides where she wants to shop. Sometimes the difference of the price is not too much, but she likes to spend her time bargaining. By doing that, my mother saves some of her daily expenses.
On special occasions, like birthdays, my mother can make a special party without asking for additional money from my father. When my father is not at home, my mother can solve unexpected problems by using her savings from daily expenses. For example, sometimes our family needs extra money to go to the doctor or to buy medicine. My mother’s thrifty ways are helpful for all of my family.

My Father
The most important person in my life is my father. He has been the example for me to develop my social and professional life. In my social life, he shows me how to be with people and what behavior I need to have in different situations. For example, I talk or behave differently with a director of a company than with a worker. My father could not study in school, but he has a lot of experience. He is a good worker with high responsibilities in his work. He also taught me that the most important responsibilities are to my work and my family.
My father was a very good baseball player when he was young. He likes all sports, and he taught me to play sports with a clear mind. My father is an average person. However, he has been the biggest person for me.

What is Big Ben?
Big Ben is the bell that strikes the hours in the clock tower above the Houses of Parliament at Westminster in London. It weighs 13.5 tons and was named Big Ben in honor of Sir Benjamin Hall, who was Commissioner of Works at the time of the tower’s completion in 1858. Interestingly, the White chapel Bell Foundry where it was cast is still operating from the same location today. There are four smaller bells in the tower which strike the quarters and are called ‘Little Bens’.
Big Ben symbolizes to many people the ‘Mother of Parliaments’. The British have long period themselves on their democratic tradition. The English Parliament was united with the Scottish Parliament in 1707 and with the Irish between 1801 and 1922.
Since 1688 it has been customary for the king or queen to choose his or her ministers from the dominant political party in the Commons.
The Houses of Parliament are not particularly old – the present building having been built between 1840 and 1860. It does, however, incorporate portions of the medieval Palace of Westminster. The Commons debating chamber – which nowadays can be seen on television – was destroyed by incendiary during World War II and was later rebuilt preserving its former character.
When the Houses of Parliament are in session, the clock is illuminated at night by a light that goes off only when the House rises.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon was a man-made structure that was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Hanging Gardens originated in approximately 605 B.C.
Babylon, the capital of Babylonia, was built between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, where modern Baghdad, in Iraq, stands today. King Nebuchadnezzar built the Hanging Gardens for his wife, Amytis, who was the Princess of the Medes.
The Hanging Gardens was built on arches overlooking the city walls. The lowest terrace was twenty-four meters off the ground and each succeeding terrace was three meters higher. There were about six terraces, so that the topmost terrace was forty meters off the ground.
The first stage of the building was a series of brick archways that were the same height as the city walls. Underneath them lay a shaded courtyard. On top of these arches, the Babylonians built long brick terraces in rows. These terraces were lined with lead, to hold the water, the covered with thick layers of fertile soil. Many exotic plants and trees were planted. Each flower-bed was the size of a tennis court and the area of each terrace was thirty meters long by five meters long by five meters wide.
