Drugs



When I was walking in downtown, someone stopped me. I stared at his face, his eyes were red and he had a runny nose. Also, he coughed a lot. I was surprised when I looked at his body, he was very thin. When he talked to me his teeth were yellow. I observed that he had trouble concentrating. Obviously, he had no school, job nor friends. He asked me to give him money, when I refused he got nervous and he called me names. I felt scared and amazed; he was trying to start a fight for no reason. After realizing that he was an addict, I ignored him and he went away. Really, drugs were a big impact on his life. We observe that a person who uses drugs is negative and worried all the time. Sometimes, an addict is happy; sometimes sad. Also, sometimes an addict is moody and changes his/her mind. If someone blames addicts, they will start a fight. Addicts usually have a trouble concentrating, because drugs damage their brain and change their temper. Also addicts sometimes can not be aware about what they do and they can not control their behaviour. Moreover, addicts always ask to be alone, I think addicts had changed their friends, because they had borrowed from them a lot of money, so when their friends find them, they ask about their money that they borrowed from them. Addicts are always unfriendly and people don’t like them, because they are nervous and moody. Usually, addicts get angry and start fighting for little things consequently; most of addicts are divorced or simply not married. Furthermore, it is difficult to live with addicts because they are moody person. Finally, we can understand that drugs had a big change on a person. Also, drugs can make a person nervous and naughty. Moreover, most of addicts don’t have friends and they are isolated from other people. Also, we observe addicts are thin and pale, because drugs damage health. Also, addicts are fired from work or expelled from school. Hopefully, we will not find any one of our friends is addicted.

MY FIRST DAY IN TORONTO




I remember the night when I said to my family and my friend “good bye”. When I took a plane the time was running slowly and I felt bored. I was wondering what is kind of country I am going to? How are the people over there? Will I like the people
lifestyle over there? And when I will come back to my country? I thought it will be a new life to me. The distance was so far. I was exhausted. I slept tiredly. Suddenly, a child was crying loudly. I thought I slept one hour, but it was only ten minutes. I was really exhausted. When I was setting on a chair; a stewardess offered to me a glass of water. I took the water and I gulped it down. After six hours, they announce that we arrived to London. Then, we spent two hours in London. Next I took another plane to Toronto. After six hours, I arrived in Toronto. when I got off the plane, I was worried. I did not know what I should to do. I thought my luggage was in London. Then, I
went to find out where is my luggage. After fourteen minutes I found it. Then, I did not know where I should go. I had Yueli’s number, but unfortunately, my cell phone ran out of battery. I could not do any things. I thought I will spend that day in airport. Then, I asked some one in airport and he told me that you should stand with this people. I stood with them. Then a customs stamped my passport. After that, I gave up
to call Yueli institute. After I finished from customs, I took my baggage and I sit in hall. Suddenly, I saw one guy hold a paper and he wrote on it Yueli institute. I was very a glad when I saw him. Then, he took me and we grabbed a taxi. When I was in
the taxi, I was looking at streets, buildings and people, every thing were different from my country. The weather when I came to Toronto was very nice, because I came at summer. Despite of the exhaustion that I felt during the trip, I enjoyed so much when I saw Toronto. It was the first time and it was really a new life. The weather, buildings and culture were not like my country. After half hour, we arrived at residence of Yueli institute. Then they gave me a key of my room. After that when I opened my room, I jumped on my bed and I slept.
thanks for reading my journal and I hope you like it

cheers and enjoy
