The Sahara Festival is a three-day African celebration of the very recent past, which takes place every year either in November or December. It is part military display and part competition. The military display comes first. It is very popular with tourists and local people and especially with government leaders.
During the opening ceremonies, the government leaders first make speeches. They welcome everybody to the display and hope that everyone will enjoy themselves. Then there is a display of soldiers who march very smartly in front of the place where the government leaders sit. Then horsemen from several different countries show off their beautiful clothes and their good riding skills. One after another they come and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turns to show off their wonderful traditional clothes and dances. They are accompanied by men playing drums and beating strong rhythms for the dancers.
The highlight of the opening ceremony are the races which take place in the evening. It is the grand finale of the day. Men ride their horses very fast. Some ride with their legs in the air, others ride in pairs on different horses. It is so fast and so wonderful!

Dear editor,
I am a high school student. A few days before, one of my good friend told me that he was going to stop school. He said that he wanted to start his own’s business. I tried my best to get him to change his mind, and failed. I realize it is difficult of me to change his mind. He is not doing good in his studies. The process is more important than the result is . now there are only 90 days being left before the test. I am not sure his decision is right or wrong. I’m looking forward to your help. I needed your advice.
