Compare Riyadh to Seattle

Do you know Riyadh is a capital city in Saudi and the biggest one and do you know Seattle is a biggest city in Washington stat. the Riyadh location is in the canter of Saudi Arabia. Seattle is in the center of WA stat. I've lived in the both of them. now I'm living in Seattle so I know what's the different and the similarity between them.

The weather ,summer's in Riyadh takes more nine months long .it’s so hot and the sun always shin actually it’s so hard to life without air condition because the temperature almost 45-50 c how ever, in Seattle we don't have to use it ,so Seattle summer is shorter and colder than Riyadh it takes about three months long. the sun isn't always shin because sometimes it rains ,but in Riyadh ,it has never rain in the summer time. In the winter time, Seattle always cold and rain a lot sometimes snows. On the other hand, Riyadh is much colder, dryer , rarely rains and never snow.In the spring time, Seattle usually has beautiful views, because it comes after the winter it had a lot of rain and sometimes it rain in the spring , but in Riyadh we don't have real spring because it doesn't rain much as Seattle. In the full time, in Riyadh usually hot while in Seattle it's cold.

The economy in Seattle is much expensive than Riyadh, for example, in Saudis and immigrant in Riyadh don't have to pay tax, not even for their houses,however, in Seattle every body must pay for every things. in Seattle also every one has to pay for cars parking, in contrast, in Riyadh you don't have to pay for parking even in the shopping malls. In addition, the foo in Saudi is much cheaper than Seattle. for example,the milk in Riyadh costs 1,5 $ for a gallon, but in Seattle costs 5 $ . you can get a bag of bread for 50 sent however, in Seattle you'll get it for 3 $.

The nature in Seattle is very pretty and nice. Seattle has a lot of lakes, river, and huge of Mounts for example mount of Rina, so it's one of the best cities in the world in the nature.On the other hand, Riyadh has huge and beautiful desert and valleys.

finally, in my opinion i like Riyadh because i grow up there and it has my family and all my friends.I've great memory while i was studying in my high school and the university.in contrast, i like Seattle too because am living here and having a good time with a new life in the US ,so i love both of them.

  1. Hey!! I'm Shinichi.

    I didn't know about your country, Riyadh.
    It may be tough for me to live in Riyadh because I don't like a hot condition. I was surprised the price in Riyadh. If I live in Riyadh, I can buy much more coffee!!

    I found one spelling mistake in the final paragraph. You should change the small letter "i" into capital letter "I".

    Thank you!!

    Your friend, Shinichi

  2. Hi Rakan,

    Great job. Your essay's main point was focusing on the differences between your hometown Riyadh and Seattle. I like your comparison when you talked about the weather.

    Other than that, you just need to do small editing to your essay, for example "Do you know Riyadh is the capital, not a capital"

    Thank you for sharing such informative essay.

  3. Hi, How are you doing?
    Thanks to your essay, I know your home country little.
    I think you`d better use capital letter at begining of last paragraph.
    Thank you for reading

  4. hi Rakan,
    your essay is good and have a well-orgnaised ideas. I agree with you about nature and weather and I think every city have alot of things that make it good. I recomended focusing in some verb tens like past tens in the last paragraph in " grow up". I think you should change it to " grew up".
    C U at class body.
