English is international language so English literature is one of the best majors I’ve ever studied so I like it very much. While I’m planning to complete my higher studies I’ll be doing an MA and eventually I’ll be doing a PhD to be a professor in English literature. Well usually I go to visit my relatives or even friends but sometimes I stay at home just for if I have exams or something to study so I just stay at home. But most of my time actually I spend it with my friends going out to drink something or to have fun and enjoy. Well next weekend I have to go to a trip to York and I’m so excited about it. Well because I’ve heard that York is a very ancient city so the Vikings were there and I like the ancient things and I like history. Well not really when I was a child I just spent all my weekends in playing but now I have lots of concerns sometimes I have to stay at home to study so no when I was a child I enjoyed most. It is very important because you just relax out of the whole week because you were studying or working so you need peace and relax and sometimes to take a great time sleeping just to prepare yourself for the next week. Well I like music very much because I’m a singer myself. I like to sing so I have a great taste of music. I like the classical. I like the Arabic music. Music is very important. I have to listen to music all the day. Well yes it changes because I used to listen to the slow music and nowadays it’s just very fast and sometimes it’s techno and I don’t like this kind of music. I still listen to the music that I like and I still have the same CDs and all the time I listen. I sometimes listen to this music, the new music but I don’t like it. I just like to listen to the music.

English is an international language, so English literature is one of the best majors I've ever studied, and I like it very much. While I'm planning to complete my higher studies, I'll be doing an MA, and eventually, I'll be doing a PhD to become a professor in English literature. Usually, I go to visit my relatives or friends, but sometimes I stay at home if I have exams or something to study, so I just stay at home. However, most of my time is actually spent with my friends, going out to have a drink or to have fun and enjoy. Next weekend, I have a trip to York, and I'm so excited about it because I've heard that York is a very ancient city where the Vikings were, and I like ancient things and history. When I was a child, I spent all my weekends playing, but now I have lots of concerns, and sometimes I have to stay at home to study, so no, when I was a child, I enjoyed myself the most. It is very important to relax after the whole week because you have been studying or working, so you need peace and relaxation, and sometimes to take a great time sleeping just to prepare yourself for the next week. I like music very much because I'm a singer myself. I enjoy singing, so I have a great taste in music. I like classical music and Arabic music. Music is very important; I have to listen to music all day. Yes, my taste changes because I used to listen to slow music, and nowadays it's very fast, and sometimes it's techno, which I don't like. I still listen to the music that I like, and I still have the same CDs that I listen to all the time. I sometimes listen to new music, but I don't like it. I just prefer to listen to the music I enjoy.
