🎙 Art الفن

I'm a great art lover. I look at beautiful paintings and sculptures and wish I could be artistic. I can't draw or paint to save my life. I wonder why some people are so talented and can create amazing pictures when other people, like me, can't even draw good matchstick figures. I would like to fill my house with art from all over the world. It's interesting to see how different cultures have different kinds of art. There's nothing better than visiting art galleries when you go to another country. I prefer more traditional art. I don't really understand a lot of modern art. I look at an exhibit of a pile of bricks in a museum but can't see how it's art. I always laugh when my children say Daddy, I can do better than that I often think they can

🎙 Babysitting مجالسة الأطفال

I loved babysitting when I was younger. It was a really easy way to make money. All I had to do was sit in my neighbour's house and look after the kids. That was the easy bit, because the kids were usually asleep in bed. The parents would give me a lot of money for watching DVDs and eating snacks. When I was even younger, I liked it when my babysitter came round. She would always play games with us and let us stay up late. She would send us to bed just before my parents came home. I know in some countries babysitting isn't so common. It isn't part of the culture. I suppose that's not such a bad thing. I read a lot in the papers nowadays about babysitters hitting the children because they don't sleep. That's really bad.

🎙 Birthdays أعياد الميلاد

Birthdays are brilliant. I'm 62 years old and I still love them. I don't think I've ever had a bad birthday. In fact, I think birthdays get better and better the older you become. Sure, kids love birthdays because they get presents and get to eat cake, but when you get older, birthdays make you feel special. It's your special day. Even if no one wishes you a happy birthday, it's still your special day. A lot of my friends think I'm mad. They hate their birthdays because it means they are another year older. I hope I get to celebrate my hundredth birthday. I'm not sure if I can blow out 100 candles, though. When I look back at all my birthdays, it's difficult to choose the best. I'll just say my last birthday is always the best one.

🎙 Books الكتب

Don't you think books are the best thing in the world? I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't reading a book. I still have memories of being in my school library when I was about five years old. I have been a bit of a bookworm since then. You will usually see me with my head buried in a book. I love all kinds of books. Novels are great, for getting to know other worlds and cultures. A good book is one where you never want the story to end. I also like autobiographies because I think it's interesting to read about people's lives. Encyclopedias are cool too. You can learn everything about everything in these. I still prefer books to the internet. Books need to be in your hand and made of paper.
