The Deferens between Supermarket and Small Shop


The supermarket and small shop are different in some ways. First, people can shop food, meat, fruits, and vegetables in both place, but they can buy many different of kind’s food in supermarket. Second, different from small shop, Supermarket is open every day and in the evening, and also the food in supermarket is expensive. Third, supermarket is found in downtown, and they are usually very busy. Next, the food in supermarket is not fresher and tastier than small shop. Finally, there is the place where people can return products that they had bought. On the other hand, in small shop, there are not many different kinds of food. Second, different from supermarket, small shop is open fewer hours. Third, while there are many people for buying food in supermarket, there are not many people in small shop. Small shop is not found in every place, so people usually do not buy in small shop. Unlike supermarket, the food in small shop is fresher and tastier.

The Difference of Education System in Canada and Iran


Canada and Iran have some different education system in some ways. Each education system is a reflection of the culture’s country that it expresses some aspects of its economy. First, at universities in Canada, there are some types of university courses. Unlike universities in Iran, Canadian universities have lecture courses, and discussion section. Lecture course means that the professor talks and the students sit and take notes, and also discussion section is the place where they can ask some questions about lectures and go over their homework. Second, Universities in Canada have small size class. The numbers of the students that participate in class are about twenty. In Canada, while the numbers of students in discussion section are about 200-300, the numbers of students in regular class are about twenty. Next, at the universities in Canada, there are some course requirements such as, midterm (in the middle of the course), quizzes (small tests), final (a big exam at the end of the course), and term paper. Last, there are learning centers in the universities of Canada. It is the place where the students can solve their problems by graduate students that they called teaching assistant.
In contrast, at universities in Iran, there are not lecture course and discussion section. Lab classes in the universities in Iran are different from the lab classes in Canada. Students in Iran do not have enough good equipment in laboratory while students in Canada have good enough equipments. Second, whereas the class’s sizes in Canada are small, class’s sizes in Iran are large. Therefore, Iranian students have to work together and help each other on assignment in group, but Canadian students work by themselves. Next, the most important course requirement at the universities of Iran are attending in class and doing homework. Canadian students do their homework by themselves either in a library or on the internet by themselves, but the students in Iran do in group. Last, unlike Canadian universities, Iranian universities do not have learning centre for their students. Therefore, to ask some questions requires that they go teachers’ offices.

Extending My First Study Permit




Important documents are needed to extend a study permit in Canada. I came to Canada on May 15, 2005; at that time, I got the study permit from the department of immigration in the airport for one year. Therefore, I had to study after the issue of the study permit full time at College, but I had studied part time. Extending the study permit is needed to register each year at college. After 11 months, I prepared some documents such as photo, application fee, and transcript in order to extend the study permit. First, I hired consulate immigration lawyer in order to inspect my documents and to fill out application form. He told me that I have to prepare the documents immediately; therefore, I did them within 10 days. After two weeks, I handed them out to him in order to inspect; meanwhile, he filled out my application form. Next, I sent them to the department of immigration in order to extend the study permit; furthermore, I contact the immigration two times by phone. After 45 days, I received mail from the immigration that it had been refused because I had not studied full time at college. In conclusion, I decided that I would leave Canada soon, and I went to my country after two weeks. Finally, I applied for the study permit again with the same documents in the embassy of Canada in Tehran, and then I got a new study permit and came back to Canada after four weeks.

The Changing of Fads




Fads are some things that people do in very short time and then, forget them for at all. They aren't very important for people that usually change their lifestyle in every year because they don’t have quality, attractive, and worth for them. In my opinion, some adults don't like some fads, so they advise to their children that avoid doing them. In addition, international advertisers are caused that people enthusiastically follow them in very short time and also, they disappear them very quickly because of profit. In conclusion, we can see a lot of fads such as sunglasses, clothing, and haircuts that come and go.

How to buy a new car




There are some steps about how to buy a new car. First, we have to look for the brand name of car which we like. Second, we have to check the price of the car online, if it is a used car. And also, we have to contact the owner of the car and check the car with a inspector to see if the car is perfect or doesn't have any problem. Then, we can buy the car which we chose with the best price and quality. After, we test the car by driving at least one time before to buy it. If car is a new, we have to contact to a dealership and talk about a price, quality, guaranty and the ways of the pay.
