Почти́ 37% люде́й не лю́бят еду́, кото́рую они́ гото́вят для себя́ до́ма. Пробле́ма в том, что мно́гие лю́ди не зна́ют, как пра́вильно комбини́ровать проду́кты.
Almost 37% of people don't like the food that they cook at home. The problem is that a lot of people don't know how to combine ingredients correctly.

Cook like a Pro

مَرْحَباً, كَيْفَ الْحَال؟ 
مَرْحَباً أَناَ بِخَيْر وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّه,وَأَنْت؟ كَيْفَ الْحَال؟
نَعَم أَنَا بِخَيْر أَيْضاً, شُكْراً. مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتِ؟ 
أَنَا مِنْ سُورْيَا مِنْ مَدِينَة دِمَشْق. وَأَنْت؟ هَل أَنْتَ عَرَبِيّ؟
أَنَا عَرَبِيّ مِنْ مِصْر. 
مِنْ مِصْر؟ مِنْ أَيِّ مَدِينَة؟ 
مِنْ الْقاَهِرَة
طَيِّب, مَعَ السَّلاَمَة أَحْمَد
الى اللِّقَاء لَطِيفَة

8 Consejos para iniciar el nuevo año

university life in Britain
In Britain, many university students live away from home. This gives them more freedom and the opportunity co meet lots of new people, but can also be difficult for some students who arc not used to being on their own and have never learnt co cook for themselves or even iron their clothes. In their first year, most students choose co live in student accommodation, which is sometimes on campus. After that, they tend to rent a flat or house with other students.
Part of student life is about understanding the importance of managing your money carefully: tuition fees, loans you may have taken out, money for food, and payments you have co make for your living costs, for electricity, etc. For this reason, many students find part-time jobs.
At university, you can often choose when you want to study, but you need co attend lectures, do your assignments on time, and plan your revision period before exams.
