Text Blog Entry8 about my country
I choose this article because it tells about my country for those people they don’t know about it
Afghanistan, (which literally means Land of the Afghan) is a mountainous land-locked country located in Central Asia. It has a history and culture that goes back over 5000 years. Throughout its long, splendid, and sometimes chaotic history, this area of the world has been known by various names. In ancient times, its inhabitants called the land Aryana. In the medieval era, it was called Khorasan, and in modern times, its people have decided to call it Afghanistan. The exact population of Afghanistan is unknown, however, it is estimated to be somewhere around 31 million.
Afghanistan is a heterogeneous nation, in which there are four major ethnic groups: Pashtoons, Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks. Numerous other minor ethnic groups (Nuristanis, Baluchis, Turkmens, etc.) also call Afghanistan their home. While the majority of Afghans (99%) belong to the Islamic faith, there are also small pockets of Sikhs, Hindus and even some Jews. The official languages of the country are Pashto and Dari (Afghan Persian aka Farsi). The capital of Afghanistan is Kabul, which throughout history, was admired by many great figures, such as the great Central Asian conqueror, Zahirudeen Babur. Unfortunately, due to many years of war, this great city has been shattered and nearly destroyed.

Diploma Trip-Text Based Skill 2
On Tuesday we had a trip to the AUCKLAND WAR MEMORIAL MUSEUM that was my first time to I visit Auckland Museum and I really enjoyed, because everything I saw in the Museum was new for me, specially those thing made by Maori people. The first thing I saw that was Hotonui, the corved meeting house which was very interesting.
Auckland Museum is located in a classical symmetrical building three storey high.
§ The ground level tells the story of the people of the pacific
§ The first story tells about land
§ The top storey tells New Zealand war stories
After we visited Museum we had lunch together out side the Museum, the weather was very nice and sunny and we enjoyed our diploma trip.

Comparison of Two Pictures-Oral Based Skill 2 (Week 9)
These two pictures which show the different styles of learning in school. One of these picture shows students divided in groups and they are using computers, it means technology can help students to learn. The second picture shows, student sitting on the floor and they are drawing pictures without using computer. In my opinion technology helps people to learn very fast and easily with computer.Tuesday, May 29, 2007

Everyone knows that the Titanic struck an iceberg in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. It sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic, killing 1500 of the 2200 passengers on board. The tragedy of the Titanic has fascinated every generation in the past eighty-six years, with several films and documentaries on the disaster, including 1929's "Atlantic
The story of James Cameron's "Titanic" begins in the present day, with an investigation of the wreck by a salvage team lead by Brock Lovett.
Titanic" is a very well-balanced film, with something to offer everyone, from the hopeless romantic to the adrenaline junkie: strong performances, romance, levity, special effects, and pathos. The story of the ill-fated love affair is not new, but in Cameron's capable hands, it has been brilliantly executed, with a narrative and images that will linger in your mind long after having seen the film. If you only could see one film this year, this would be the one.
