                                      1st reflective statement
 
LSC 2103 is an academic reading and writing course. This course is about building the reading skills and writing a report using APA referencing, also summarizing some articles from internet or newspaper or magazines. Until now I have learnt how to summarize articles and how to choose the important information. Also I have learn a new website that I can share my reports with my teacher which is blogger. I would expect at the end of this course I can be ready to write a business report and learn new words that I can use too. In addition I will learn the rules of writing a report which is not copy and paste by using APA referencing. My teacher is Hedley. He is British. He is married and has got two daughters and four grandchildren; he is living in Abu Dhabi right now. He has a lot of experience in teaching English in many countries such as United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Brunei and Qatar.  His favorite sport is rugby. Also he likes theatre trips and visiting schools, He is interested in reading books such as Emma by Jane Austen and Farewell My Lovely. At the end we trust that we will learn more about Mr. Hedley and more about the course also.

1st Practice summary



The Hajj
 
Each year around 2million Muslims from all over the world perform one of Islam’s five requirements.
This is called the Hajj in Mecca city which is located in Saudi Arabia. All Muslims, physically fit and financially able can do the Hajj. The starting day is the twelfth month of the Islamic year and lasts about 6 days. Dangerous driving and crowd control are major problems for the Saudi government.
Muslims should not enter Mecca unless they cleanse themselves. First hajjis walk 7 times around the Ka’aba, the large black cube in Mecca. They also go 7 times walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah. After that they go to Mina and stay all night. On the morning of next day, they travel to the plain of Arafat, site of Mohamed’s last sermon.
That evening they group go to Muzdalifah. Back at Mina the hajjis throw seven pebbles at the Jamraat. Returning to Mecca, the Hajjis do Tawaf around the Ka’aba and also walk between the hills of Safa and Marwah. After that they return to Mina for 3 days of prayers. The final ritual is the farewell Tawaf around the Ka’aba.
