Abdurrahman- Food in my Culture

Eid

Every year at the end of Ramadan (the holy month in Islam) Muslims celebrate Eid, which lasts for three days. During Eid the main thing that happens is the eating of food.  My family celebrate Eid.

In my family the first thing we do during Eid is go to the Eid Gah special prayer prayed on Eid. Sometimes we eat something sweet but small, such as dates, before going. Once we come back we get ready to go visit people’s houses so we can eat.

We go to our Grandma’s house first. She always has mouth-watering food. I usually eat food such as chicken and curry. We try to eat less because we have other houses to go to but that becomes a bit hard because there is a lot of nice food. One of the best things she has is the juice. Then we go to our other close relatives houses until we go back home.

As soon as we get back home our parents get the food ready. Our dad makes butter chicken sometimes and our mum makes the sweets. We sometimes make other cultural food such as sushi. We kids play with our gifts or help out with the cooking. Our mum already does lots of the cooking before Eid. We continue this process for three days. It is really fun.

I love celebrating Eid because it gives you time to be with the ones you love. Also you get lots of money and gifts on the day.

Abdurrahman and Jhardae's Rich Tasks.


This is where me and my partner are from I'm from Niue and my partners from Fiji. The distance between Niue and Auckland is 2,480 km which is higher than Abdurrahman's by 0,271 so that would mean that the distance between Fiji and Auckland is 2,151 which is lower than Jhardae's by 0,271.

Abdurrahman- My Favourite Movie

Home Alone

Home Alone is a downright funny family movie even though it is a PG rated movie the most rudest sentence is the phrase ‘Holy Cow’. It is Christmas time and the McCallister family are preparing for a vacation in Paris which is in France. But the youngest in the family is a boy named Kevin who got into a fight with his older brother Buzz and was sent to his room which was on the third floor of his house. Then early the next morning, while the rest of the family was in a rush to make it to the airport on time. They accidently forgot about Kevin who now has the house all to himself. Being home alone was fun for Kevin, having a pizza all to himself, jumping on his parents' bed, and making a mess. Then, Kevin discovers about two burglars, Harry and Marv who were about to rob his house on Christmas Eve. Kevin acts quickly by wiring his own house with makeshift booby traps to stop the burglars and to bring them to justice.

Abdurrahman- My Soccer Explanation

Soccer

Do you know how to play soccer? It is one of the best games ever. Let me tell you about the rules, some soccer players and formations.

One of the rules are to never use your hands except if you are goalkeeping or for throw-ins. Throw-ins occur when the ball get kicked out of the side of the field. For throw-ins you have to use your hands and throw the ball to a player. Another reason to use your hands is to  be a goalkeeper. Goalkeeping means to use your arms, legs or any other part of your body to block the ball from going in to the goalmouth. Corners are important because they happen when a player kicks the ball to their side to of the goal. Yellow cards and Red cards are dangerous. A player gets them when he tackles a player.

Now that you know some of the rules lets talk about some professional soccer players. My favourite is Wayne Rooney. He is number 10 for Manchester United and for England International. Other good players are Christiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr and Lionel Messi.

One of the best soccer formations are 4-4-2. The formation 4-5-1 is mostly good for counter attacking. Formations such as 2-3-5 is not known what it is good for. 4-3-3 is mostly for counterattacking and having the ball more than the other team.

Now that you know the rules, formations and some famous soccer players. You can go and have some fun playing soccer. International soccer is about 90 minutes and there are about 11 players per team. Now you know how to play soccer and play fairly.
