How to organize a portfolio..

Papers, papers, papers. Students often feel overwhelmed by the number of papers they receive from their teachers, and it may seem like throwing all of them in the trunk of the car is the best solution. However, it is actually quite easy to organize your class notes in a neat portfolio. Let me outline the steps.

First, find all your papers. Second, sort your papers into logical division such as reading, writing, speaking and listening, among others. Next, put your papers into the different sections.

My last summer vacation..

Last summer, my family and I went to the best summer vacation ever. On that vacation we went to KSA, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We stayed there for about one week; we traveled by car where it took us eight hours to reach to Dammam.

In the few first days, we visited some relatives that lived in the area; we had so much fun learning about how they had been doing and what had happened since the last time we saw them. We also re-called some memories while having their famous Saudi coffee and dates. By the fifth day, we rented a villa. It had a swimming pool and a barbeque stand and not to forget the volleyball net. After having lunch, we took over the swimming pool, then we played volleyball. Finally, for dinner, we set up the barbeque fire and roasted the beef, kebabs and sweet potato. The sixth and the seventh day were the farewell days as we said goodbye to the family.

This vacation is a memorable vacation to me as I had so much fun. I learned many things from it. I hope to visit my relatives there soon.
