Conflicting reports on fate of Iranian opposition leaders

International journalists have been limited in their ability to gather news in Iran, where the government has squelched the media and maintains tight control over state-linked news organizations. During the protests this month, foreign journalists were denied visas, accredited journalists living in the country were restricted from covering the demonstrations, and internet speeds were slowed to a crawl in an apparent attempt to restrict information being transmitted abroad.

Behaviors my parents taught me

                     Children will feel secure if their parents accept them unconditionally. They need parents to be non-judgmental and not compare them to others, accepting them as who they are despite their behaviour.  For example, a parent should always remind their child that they love them and are special to them, just by being their son or daughter. First , when i was kid, my parents taught me many things , like respect older people by taught me to dont swear in front of old people , and if i did they punished me . Second , the best behavior that my parents taught me is telling the truth always , and in my opinion its the best behavior , because who lies the people wont like him , they taught me that by if i lie they dont talk to me and dont take me with them if they hanged out . Also , in the same time they showed me that they love me too much, and more than everything in the life . Next , they cared of me in every moment , and they didn't let me to need anyone more . So , if u need to teach your children behaviors , you should teach him or her the good behaviors which is it the best way to be a good kid . Finally , the best way to behave your son or daughter is when they are kids . In conclusion , i am very happy because my parents taught me the good behaviors .

letter 1

        In my opinion you should use the punishment , like if he swears again ,then you should take from him a special toy from him . Also the children always model their parents , so you should stop swearing in front of him . Finally , if I were you I will tell him that if you swear , the people will hate you and dont give you gifts .

Carrying The Asian Cup

                           Have you ever carry a huge cup like The Asian Cup?. First , I was in Japan with my Kuwait national team for water polo, because we had an Asian tournament for Junior , and I was the captain in that time . In the beginning , we started the tournament with a high motivation , because we had a camp before that in China . In the first 6 games we won with a really good result , and we arrived the final game with Japan which is the best team in Asia in water polo. The night before the final game , I was sitting with my team and they were scared from the Japanese team , because we all know that the Japanese team is the best , and we lost with them before two years in the final game too , so when I looked at their faces i felt the same . In top of the , there was a really huge responsibility over my shoulders , because I was the captain in that time , Next , in the morning of the final game's day , I woke up all my teammates to prepare for the final game . Then , we went to the pool to warm up , and after we warmed up , we sat in the changing room . Next , I looked to their faces , and I saw that they are scared again , in that moment I didn't want to lose , I wanted to be the boss of Asia in water polo , so I shouted in a loud voice where are my tigers , then nobody answered , after that i talked to them and told them that we came here to win not to lose before playing the final game , and if we play together as a one team we will win , and we don't have anything to lose lets try and we will see what happened , finally lets help each other my tigers. Next , I shouted again where are my tigers , then they shouted in a loud voice here we are . Next , we played the game and did our best , and in the last period the result was 5-5 , so in the last minute I took a time-out , because my team were so tired , then I talked to them in the time-out , and told them that its the last minute for our dream , so we went again to the game and my friends helped me to score the last goal , and I did it . We won the Asian cup for the first time , we became a bosses for Asia , all Japanese people were happy that we did a surprise and won . Finally , we went back to our country and became a heroes . It was the best thing which happened to me in my life . In conclusion , i hope for every one to carry the Asian Cup as I did and become the best player in Asia as I did .

Special New Year and Christman

                              I wont ever forget the last new year celebration . First , i was with my cousin in Houston in Texas , we were having a big trip around the closest states for Louisiana by car . Then when we were in Houston we decided to go to Atlanta to spend the new year there , so we took all our staff , put them in the car and moved . Next , when we were in our way to Atlanta there was a rush hour , so our trip delayed , and we were so sad , because we want to celebrate the new year celebration . In 11:30 pm we knew that we wont arrive on time and we will miss the celebration , so we decided to buy beer and celebrate together in the desert . Then we put a big sign on the way that's contain '' who doesn't want to miss the large celebration just enter here '' , after that we celebrated alone until 12:30 am . In 12:30 am , a lot of people came to us and celebrated with us . Finally , it was a really special new year celebration , and i didn't have fun like that in whole my life . In conclusion , i wont forget this day ever , and i hope to repeat that in the next new year celebration too .

The Family Today

                 In the last few years the family structures have changed in The US , but in Kuwait it didnt change .there are some similarities in the family structures between Kuwait and USA  , but the difference  are more and more between them . First , in The US the children after 18 they leave the home and live away from thier families, but in Kuwait the dont do that until the get married . In The US there has been a huge increase in step families , and In Kuwait the marriage has been become less and less common , because of the expensive life these days . Also the both of Kuwait and USA the married couples can get back together after divorce. More than that In Kuwait the man can marry more than one wife , but in The US no he cant marry more than one wife its illegal ,so the divorce in the both countries has increased greatly in the last days . In The US people can date and they start dating around 15 or 16 , when they can start driving , but in Kuwait there is no dating its illegal . Finally , there are alot of similarities and difference between these two countries , but the most important thing that the marriage has decreased significantly in the last days . Inconclusion , i hope for the all world to change for the best not to the worest.
