The World Cup might have been a focus in the past month,
but for many around the world, an only
team that mattered was the “Wild Boars’. The burst of joy when the young team
emerges safe and sound from the
flood cave in Thailand matched
any World Cup final. It was not surprising that the social media was filled with praises
to not only the rescue team but also
the “swarm of
men and women” from Thailand and around the world.
There was small business owners
of diving gear and oxygen cylinders whose gave
their equipment for free to the rescue team, and farmers who sacrificed their crops so that water could
be pump out from the caves. Then,
there were these who cycled hundreds
of kilometres every day to the cave site to cook and caring
for the rescue team.
Mohamed Salah Ghaly is an Egyptian footballer who plays as a forward for the Egyptian national
team as well as Premier League
Club Liverpool.
Born in Nagrig, he 1s a gifted footballer since his
childhood. He came from a sporty family in which football was the game his father and uncles played at a youth club in Nagrig.
Initially, football was just a leisure activity for Salah but he started taking it as a serious career
opportunity when he joined a local youth club ‘El Mokawloon’ in
Cairo at the age of eighteen.
The journey from his hometown to
Cairo was tiring and time consuming where he had to change
five buses to reach his training centre. That had never discouraged him from becoming a successful footballer.
As time went by, Salah made his way to play for famous clubs namely, Fiorentina and Chelsea
but his biggest success came when he was offered a contract by Liverpool in 2017. Since then, he
has been scoring many important goals for both the club and his home country. He is much loved
by his fans and due to his goal scoring feat, they dubbed him as ‘The Pharaoh’.
As a result of his outstanding performances, he won numerous prestigious awards which includes
Premier League Player of the Month, Football Writers’ Player of the Year and African Footballer
of the Year.
Travelling is the act of going on a visit to another place either for sightseeing or
business. Most people like to travel and they travel for different reasons. In the past, during the
days of exploration, people travelled by land and sea to look for things like spices and tea and to discover new land.
For many people nowadays, going to a new place means getting to know the culture
and the way of life of the inhabitants there. To be fluent in a foreign language, the best step
would be to make a visit to the country and reside there for some time. Food, especially exotic
food attracts people to foreign countries. Nowadays, there are some specialists in food such as
chocolates and cheese and even modern food such as pastas and pizzas. They are called food connoisseurs.
There are people who travel to make new friends. They find it rewarding to get to know
someone who has different ways of life. They take the opportunity to experience how they lead
their lives so as to become more knowledgeable. Some even go to big events such as the World
Cup just to watch a match whilst making new friends. New Zealand and Australia are ranked
the top 3 friendliest countries by the Men’s Health magazine. Malaysia makes it to the top 10
list as well as
Brazil, Spain and Sweden.
Religion is another reason that encourages people to travel. They travel to holy places
to make pilgrimages. Mecca is a must for Muslims and the Vatican City is the main choice for
devoted Christians. Others travel to escape the cold or the heat in their countries. These are
seasonal travellers. A charitable heart is willing to travel long distances to help people in
distress or in war-torn countries. For this purpose, some African and Asian countries made it
in the list of the travellers’ choice, such as India, Rwanda, Syria and Palestine. For whatever
reasons, travelling never fails to enrich our life.
Poisoned Talk
Who killed cock robin?
I, said the worm,
I did him great harm.
He died on the branch of a withered tree
From the acid soil that poisoned me.
Who killed the heron?
I, mouthed the fish,
With my tainted flesh
I killed tern, duck and drake,
All the birds of the lake.
Who killed the lake?
I, boasted Industry,
I poisoned with mercury
Fish, plant and weed
To pamper mens’ greed.
Who killed the flowers?
I, moaned the wind.
I prowl unconfined,
Blowing acid rain
Over field, flood and fen.
Who killed the forest?
I ensured that it died,
Said sulphur dioxide.
All all life within it,
from earthworm to linnet.
