The ‘Englishing‘ wiki has become a recording device for several writing classes at school. It is particularly useful for students who are taking the internet-based TOEFL as they can store all their writings in one spot over several weeks. Not only that, but other students from around the world can see what we have produced.

We know that Pizza Hut has one of the most famous and delicious pizzas in the world. They have all kinds of pizzas with all types of cheese, bacon,ham,onion, etc. But there’s a problem there. In some stores, the service is not the best. They really have to fix that because it is a very important feature for the clients or customers. I’m sure that lot of people don’t prefer Pizza Hut anymore, if they really want to raise the number of customers. They have to improve the service in stores and delivery’s.
Do you like shopping? If you like shopping, you have to go to Westfield UTC. This shopping mall is close to EC-San Diego.
How do you get to this shopping mall from EC-San Diego by bus? First, we take #30 bus. After that, we get off at the last bus stop. It’s easy for us. Actually, this mall has over 150 stores and 3 department stores. For example; there is Macy’s, Abercrombie&Fitch, Guess, American Eagle Outfitters and Gap….. If we go there, we will now wear all the popular fashions in America. However, this mall is smaller than other shopping malls in San Diego. But, we can easily what we want because this mall isn’t too large. And there are a lot of benches on this mall. If we’re so tired from shopping, we can sit on the bench and take a rest. It’s comfortable for us.
However, we have to pay attention to shopping hours. We can go shopping on the weekdays from 10:30am-8:30pm but on Sunday, it is from 11:00am-6:00pm. Unfortunately, we will go shopping on Saturday on this mall for a short time. Be careful!

English is a very indispensable language, everyone knows that and that’s why we are here. If you have good English, you can travel around the world speaking with everyone. It’s also necessary if you want to get a job at any part of the world. More than 70% of he people in the world speak English. There’s two kinds of English: The American one and the British. They have the same form of writing but the pronunciation is different, e.g., the accents. I studied English in the school since I was 9 years old till I graduated. There is not many experienced people teaching English in Paraguay and that’s why I came to US to learn.
English is an international language, so if you have the opportunity to learn it, don’t let it go!

Saudi Arabia is the biggest country in the islamic world and the most important one because it has Mecca and Madinah the most important cities in Islamic culture.
The location of Saudi Arabia is in the south west part of Asia in a strategic place between the Red Sea and Gulf of Arabia. There are almost 24 million citizens and the major language is Arabic .
It has the biggest amount of oil of any country in the world , and there are many giant industrial companies like Aramco and Sabic .
The capital is Riyadh, which is in the middle , and Jeddah, Mecca and Madinah are on the west side, Dmam and Dhran are on the east side.
I am not realy a fan of shopping, but in America all the name brand clothes (that I like) are more convenient than in Switzerland.
The price of clothes is one of the biggest differences between Switzerland and U.S. The same T-shirts, that in my country I would pay $60-50, I could find it there for $10-20.
Ross
The cheapest clothes store that I found in San Diego is Ross. There I could buy it for $10. Ross is famous all over America as one of the best places to get bargains. Usually I go to the Ross near Costa Verde (address: 8657 Villa La Jolla Dr. #14a), but you can find a lot of Ross shops in San Diego.
My Experience with Ross
One of my friends (he studied in San Diego 2 years ago) recommended that I and my brother Andrea visit Ross, and he asked us to purchase some T-shirts for him. We went there two weeks ago, and my first impression was “I can’t find anything for me in this place”. With this thought in mind, we entered and looked for mens clothes. When we found them,we were very surprised! I found a lot of T-shirts and pants (that I like) for a really good price! So I bought there 5 T-shirts and one pair of shorts! Now, before going to another shop, I go to Ross to check if I can find the same thing there for a better price.

How many stores do McDonald’s and Jack In The Box have in America?
-There are 2,100 Jack In The Box restaurants in the U.S.A.
-There are 160,000,000 McDonald’s in the U.S.A.
That’s why McDonald’s is more popular than Jack In The Box. Even though Jack In The Box has more variety on their menu than McDonald’s does, people prefer McDonald’s.
On the other hand, McDonald’s has been around for a long time. It isn’t as clean as Jack In The Box. But actually both McDonald’s and Jack In The Box aren’t clean because they are fast food stores. I mean, almost all fast food stores make the food fast. so almost all the fastfood stores are not clean. Is that the real truth? Yes, the absolute truth. That’s why people often don’t go to fastfood stores. Sometimes, people want to go to fastfood stores. They usually go to McDonald’s. If we want to eat a burger, we have more opportunity to go to McDonald’s than go to other fast food stores because McDonald’s has a lot more locations.
*Which stores give you the biggest bang for your buck?
There are many many fast food stores in the U.S.A, especially stores that mainly sell burgers. So, they aren’t able to raise prices for survivor. As soon as they raise menu prices, they have to lower them. Therefore, the prices don’t matter to the customer. If i have to choose the store, i might choose McDonald’s.
* How about the taste?
McDonald’s and Jack In The Box have good things each other. Somepeople like McDonald’s’s cheeseburgers but others like Jack In The Box’s cheeseburgers. So, you can choose the store and you can eat the food you prefer.
There’s a big difference between these two beaches, I used to go to Camboriu’s beach every year at holidays because we have an apartment there, and I found some interesting differences since I came to San Diego. Camboriu doesn’t have the best beach ever but it is still one of the most popular tourist, the water isn’t cold. You can swim and surf easily there, it’s not even dangerous, It’s also peaceful. In San Diego, the beach is cold and sometimes very dangerous, but there’s a big difference. The water is much cleaner and more transparent and that’s the best characteristic of a beach.. So if you don’t like cold beaches, you can go to Brasil. Otherwise, there’s a San Diego beach which is one of the nicest I’ve ever seen.

I think this is a good and difficult question at this time. What should we do with our money? Keep it in the banks or buy a real estate or by stocks or what?It seems a difficult choice if you want my opinion,if we just put it in banks with no risk in investment ,do we think that is a good idea after crises of Leman Brothers or should we invest in Citibank by buying its stocks after its gone down and decreased more than 50% or another huge company or we just put in a real estate after this decline in the prices or another idea.
I thought that this is a good question for everybody in these years, so if any one hase an idea please put a comment on this post and give a hint to solve this problems which is a global problem.

‘Blow’ is a history of the ups and downs of a drug dealer. The movie begins with a young person from a family without money. He grows up and thinks he wants to get rich. He goes to sell drugs and makes a lot of money with marijuana. After this, he must go to jail and his wife dies.
When he gets out of prison, he makes money with cocaine and becomes very rich. He buys cars, villas and a motorboat. He finds a new girlfriend and marries her. Then he has big parties and a big circle of friends. Then he falls down and must once again go to jail and becomes a prison teacher.
Later, he can go outside of the jail, and he makes a new dealer bureau for other people. Then he imports cocaine from Colombia and makes a big deal. He picks up 50 kilos of cocaine from Pablo Escobar. He gets the number one importer from him and made a lot of money, 85% of the cocaine going into the US comes through him. He was the new biggest dealer from Colombia and the USA. He made $1 million and more profit in 36 hours.
After this part, he leaves the drug business forever. George will see his daugther in the future and he will take her to California, but he can’t do this. He must make a last big deal because he does not have enough money for this trip. In the deal, he is set up by the FBI and DEA along with his old accomplices and sentenced to 60 years at Otisville State Prison in upstate New York.
This is not a family movie because this film is too brutal for young people under 16. I think this is a good movie for younger people from 16 years up because he has a bad influence on young people. Perhaps they later take drugs, and this is never good for the body. The viewer can learn how bad drugs are and what comes about with drugs
