Do you know what the biggest difference between my hometown Qassim and Seattle?

Do you know what the biggest differences between my hometown Qassim and Seattle. Seattle and Qassim have many different things .but the biggest difference between them are culture, the weather and the holiday.

The culture between my hometown and Seattle is very different. First, the privacy between women and men, in Saudi Arabia everything has privacy like, school, bank, party and every job except hospitals. Second, who is responsible for the family? In Saudi Arabia men should be responsible and expends for women, the children and their house. If the woman has a job, she is free for her money and she isn’t responsible for her children or her husband or her house, She just has to care and heed about her husband and her children .So, that why most of the women in my hometown don’t work .Finally, in Saudi Arabia, women and men don’t get out from their family until they marriage. Unlike, in Seattle they get up from their family when they 18 years old. So we have a big difference for the culture.

The weather is very different between my hometown and Seattle. The First is how many seasons for their each country? My hometown usually has two seasons, winter and summer. However, Seattle usually has three seasons, summer, winter and autumn. The winter in my hometown it is very cold and scattered shower. But in Seattle is very cold and always rain. The summer in my hometown is very hot and dry .However, in Seattle it is muggy.
The last difference between my hometown and Seattle is holiday.

They are difference for many things; the first is how many holidays they have? In my hometown we have two holidays and they called Eid. Whereas, in Seattle they have many holidays, so they usually have many days off. Second difference is who celebrated with? In my hometown we celebrate with the whole families, but in Seattle they usually celebrate with friends and sometimes they celebrate with their close family.

So Seattle and my hometown have many difference .first, they have difference culture .second, they have difference weather. Finally, they have a difference holiday. In contrast, there are the biggest differences between Seattle and my hometown.

  1. Hi,
    I am Ej. I really enjoy your essay. Your essay makes me know more about your hometown especially, the culture. I am surprise that in Saudi Arabia, women and men don’t leave their home until they get married. It is quite different from my hometown, too. The structure of your essay is clear. It is easy to read and understand. If you could mention more cultural differences, your article will be perfect!

  2. Hi, I'm Miki. Thank you for telling me about your hometown. Especially, culture, weather, and holiday.
    The most surprising thing for me is that your country only has two days holiday.
    In my country Japan has 15 holidays.
    Moreover, if the holiday falls on Sunday, we get next Monday off. Thus, we have more than 15 holidays in a year. We spend holidays with friends like in Seattle except a New Year Day.
    Is it amazing for you?
    I really like to find many differences between Japan and other countries.

    Anyway, your essay was easy to read and understand due to your good organization!
