Writing Feedback / do you prefer to have big or small family? and Why? [3]

I grew up in a big family and it was really good, I have 7 brothers and two sisters and my parents, so there were lots of people around and I think a big family is good. You're never lonely and there's always someone to hang around with or play with or do something with and lots of things to share, in addition you learn some good values being patient and cooperative.

What is better between having big or small family? Is depends on the age of the person. I think it is valuable for any kid to have brothers and sisters, to share your thinking, interesting, and your special memories, someone you can trust, and feedback your faults.

On The other hand, it is better to just have a very small family especially for parents, maybe just one or two children because things are so expensive and it's just really hard to raise a big family nowadays.

In conclusion, and as I have a big family, I prefer to have small one consist of one or two kids with my wife and I. So I can take care of them more and focus of their education and lives.

I am Dr. Hadi Ibrahim, the tenant of flat 26th in the 8th floor of Olaya building since first of this month.
My first impression about the house was good unless we were accomodate in it for a few days. Unfortunately I realized that the living and child room furniture were horribly old, I am certain that once you are aware of what kind of bad quality uphostery and dirty smelled couches, you will be as appalled as I am.

In addition to that, the child room cabinet is not a fixed one, as I cannot open it properly or hold a mess of clothes inside it.

As you can imagine, the quality of appartment furniture fell far short of my expectations considering the great deal of money I have spent with it.

I write this letter to ask you to look into this to arrange for new living and child room furniture, or to send a replacement of the bad items temporarly.

Aside from the judgement about solutions, I would like to inform you that I will look for another apartment to transfer soon under denying of my request.

Writing Feedback / 'going to live once' - IELTS: worst diet [6]

Some people claim that what people eat in many Western countries is unhealthy and that their diet is getting worse. Critics say that these countries should changes their diet.

What are your opinion on that?

People through the ages has undergoes many changes from the time when they hunted for food to nowadays when almost of them tend to get unhealthy fast food, especially when they live in a large modern country where the time is precious to be spoiled out even for our health. For many reasons I am totally disagree with this kind of life which should be changed in away or another.

In the following paragraphs I will explain some reasons of our new diet habits, while I will support my opinion and give some solution instead.

Life is going to be more complicated recently, therefore hard working is required to earn more money to get what we think we need, therefore we in large cities especially in Western modalities do not have a lot of time to move out of work or even to think about it. Hngrey wont wait us to finish our job, but we can get something fast to let it down, it is not bad if we do it sometimes, however if turned into a habit then it goes to be. The most recent researchs said that our malignancy could be a reason of bad nutrition, and scientists proved this theory in some gut malignancy, so whom want to suffer in his old age, instead of you can avoid that miserable end by avoiding any bad suspicious food, and depends on good nutrition even snacks.

As the life developed, its requerements developed also, and a lot of employees going to travel from one place to another to finish their work. No time to cook in these circumstances and the fast food is the substituation.

On the other hand, both parents work in the same time nowadays which means hard time to enjoy cooking or even to eat together.

Food claimed to be a support for our body, to help it to defeat against the disease and to be in a very good healthy built. We should not get involved in the pollution of our health, In the same time we have to criticize and insist our government to build natural resturants instead of any kind of bad unhealthy food ones. Health education is another sollution that our governemnt should care about it, in addition to family education and how to manage our life properly to be in a good healthy way.

In conclusion, we are going to live once so we must live it with healthy fit accompanied body.
