improving my communications skills in the UK When I came to the UK, one of the most important skills I developed was communication. At the beginning, it was not easy for me to communicate with people because English is not my first language. Sometimes I felt nervous when I needed to speak with others, especially in professional or formal situations. However, living in the UK helped me improve this skill little by little. I had many opportunities to talk with different people from different backgrounds. For example, I spoke with colleagues, customers, and people in daily life such as in shops or public places. This helped me practice speaking and listening more often. One thing I learned is that communication is not only about speaking good English. It is also about listening carefully and understanding what other people are saying. Sometimes people have different accents, and at first it was difficult for m...

I will summarize an article from the BBC about the result of by- Election Gorton and Denton The Green Party won the Gorton and Denton by-election and it was very surprising result. The Green candidate Hannah Spencer got around 41% of the vote and become the fifth MP for the party in Parliament. It is also the first time the Green Party ever win a Westminster by-election. Before this, Labour hold the seat for almost 100 years and in the 2024 election they get more than 50% of votes. But in this by-election they only got 25% and finished in third place. Reform UK came second with about 29% of the vote. The Conservative Party and Liberal Democrats get only around 2% each, which was very bad result for them. The election happened because the former Labour MP Andrew Gwynne resign from his position after he was suspended because of offensive WhatsApp messages. Because of this, people needed to vote again for new MP. In her speech, Spen...
At the beginning, I can say that there are many differences between Mauritania and the United Kingdom in culture, food, weather and daily life. I am going to choose the weather to compare between them because it is one of the biggest differences. In Mauritania the climate is hot and dry for most of the year. Temperatures are often very high, especially in summer. In some places it can reach around 45 degrees. However, the temperature usually increase when you go away from the Atlantic Ocean toward the desert. Rain is very rare in Mauritania. It only rains about two months in the year, and some areas cannot get any rain for a whole year because there is a lot of desert. The winters are also warmer than in the UK, especially during the day. However, in the UK the weather is mild but very changeable. It often rains, especially in autumn and winter, and the sky is usually cloudy. Summers are generally cool. Last summer was amazing for me because the t...
I have been in many places across the UK including restaurant, shops and festivals, and today I am going to introduce one restaurant that I really loved. The place is an Arabic restaurant called ALSHAMY in Plymouth. I went there with my friends and we had a very nice day together. We had amazing and very delicious food. At the beginning we order houmous, falafel and salad. After that we asked the waiter for chicken, lamb barbecue with rice and mix kebab. The waiter and the chef was very friendly and they help us to choose the food. The restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was nice and comfortable. The food arrived very fast and everything tasted fresh and full of flavour. My favourite dish was the lamb barbecue because it was very soft and well cooked. The price was also reasonable and not very expensive. In my opinion, Alshamy is a very good restaurant and I recommend this place for people who like Arabic food. I hope I can go there again in the future.
