My Cousin's Birthday

Today, we spent a lovely moments celebrating my cousin's birthday, Ahmed who is 10 years old. My whole family gathered in Ahmed's home to have a barbecue party. After dinner, we had a zebra chocolate cake which was delicious in taste and fabulous in shape. My aunts and I bought for Ahmed an I-Pad as a gift which made him very happy. The funny thing is that Ahmed's father promised to buy him I-Pad if he achieves excellent marks at the end of the year. Ahmed said "Now I'm not going to study hard since I don't need my father's I-Pad" hehehehehehehehehehe.

Amazing Way of Teaching


Three weeks ago, my little brother asked me to help him in memorizing Nine Times Tables since he will be examined on it. When I was in grade three, my teacher taught us to find out the answer of "9x8" through two ways, either to add number 9 eight times or repeat number 8 nine times. For me, it was a hard and boring method, so I prefer to spend some time memorizing the table.

Unfortunately, my brother faces difficulties in memorizing things and he forgets them very quickly. I tried to find out a simple method that facilitates my brother's way to learn such multiplication table. Finally, I found a great and amazing method of solving Nine Times Tables that I wish my teacher followed it with us to make our lives easier. This video shows the easiest way of solving Nine Times Tables.
