The following essay was written by  a very good student but , there are many small mistakes that will cost . There are also several unclear expressions and grammatical errors. Can you help find them ?
                                   ( please reply in comment)

Without capital punishment our lives are less secure and crimes or violence increase. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
    Committing serious crimes need capital punishment so that the offender unable to involved in the crime in the future. However, If they want to stop the violated act in the future then it would better to forget him and judge him for a change .

Overall, I agree with the fact that punishment is the way to avoid the crime to be increased and hence our lives become more secure. If the wrongdoer wants to be a good man and there is some financial or personal problem that led him to the wrong way, then it would be the nice option to forgive him and try to solve the problem he have. Although by this way, some bad man may become effective part of the society but some do not bring themselves to the right path because they are very much used to of it. The person that _ involved in the crime and never try to stop the law-breaking act should be punished in the extremely serious way. However, it totally depends on the nature of crime. Some crime led to capital punishment and some may require small penalty. The law-making institutions are responsible to bring the bad man to the right level of punishment that he deserves. If there is weak legislation to properly handle the offender, it may become our society less secure for the good man. The government should be responsible authority to provide secure and better state to live. Laws should be implemented and executed in the most proper way that do not allow the offender to commit violence act or to break the law in any way or extent. To sum up, it is the responsibility of the state runner to stop people to involved in crime. It may be done through solving the problems of the people that led them to commit violence act or by the punishment accordingly.

Coca Cola

                                                  Coca Cola                   

The Coca-Cola story begins in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1886. John S. Pemberton invents a new drink .Two of the  ingredients  are the South American coca leaf and the African cola nut. Pemberton can't think of a good name for the drink.

     Finally, Dr Pemberton's partner , Frank M. Robinson, suggests the name Coca-Cola and writes the new name in a special way and that becomes the famous trademark. 

    Thirty years later the famous Coca-Cola bottle design first appears. The style of the bottle and the trademark are very important for the success of the drink. For may years, they make only Coca-Cola. They only introduce new drinks - Fanta, Sprite and TAB - in the 1960s, and diet Coke in 1982.

     The   recipe  of Coca-Cola is a secret. In 1985 the company does something incredible. They change the recipe! But the public is very unhappy. And, soon after, they bring back the original recipe: 'Coca-Cola Classic' .Today they sell Coca-Cola in 195 countries. Hundreds of millions  of people, from Boston to Beijing, drink it every day. It has the most famous trademark in the world.

Famous Egyptians       من ويكيبيديا بتصرف

                                 Naguib Mahfouz


Born into a lower middle-class Muslim family in the Gamaleyya quarter of Cairo, Mahfouz was named after Professor Naguib Pasha Mahfouz (1882–1974), the renowned الشهير Coptic physicianطبيب who delivered him. Mahfouz was the seventh and the youngest child in a family that had five boys and two girls. The family lived in two popular districts of the town, in el-Gamaleyya, from where they moved in 1924 to el-Abbaseyya, then a new Cairo suburb; both provided the backdrop for many of Mahfouz's writings. His father, whom Mahfouz described as having been "old-fashioned", was a civil servantموظف حكومى, and Mahfouz eventually followed in his footsteps. In his childhood Mahfouz read extensively. His mother often took him to museums and Egyptian history later became a major theme in many of his books.

The Mahfouz family was devoutمتدينين Muslims and Mahfouz had a strictly Islamic upbringing. In an interview, he painfully elaborated نشآon the stern religious climate at home during his childhood years. He stated that "You would never have thought that an artist would emergeيظهر او ينحدر من from that family."

The Egyptian Revolution of 1919 had a strong effect on Mahfouz, although he was at the time only seven years old. From the window he often saw British soldiers firing at the demonstrators, men and women. "You could say," he later noted, "that the one thing which most shook the security of my childhood was the 1919 revolution." After completing his secondary education, Mahfouz entered King Fouad I University (now the University of Cairo), where he studied philosophy, graduating in 1934. By 1936, having spent a year working on an M.A., he decided to become a professional writer. Mahfouz then worked as a journalist at er-Risala, and contributed to el-Hilal and Al-Ahram. The major Egyptian influence on Mahfouz's thoughts of science and socialismالاشتراكية in the 1930s was Salama Moussa, the Fabian intellectual.

Civil service

Mahfouz left academia and pursued a career in the Ministry of Religious affairs. However, he was soon moved to a role in the Ministry of Culture as the official responsible for the film industry, due to his apparent atheism.[3]

A longtime civil servant, Mahfouz served in the Ministry of Mortmain Endowments, then as Director of Censorship in the Bureau of Art, Director of the Foundation for the Support of the Cinema, and finally as a consultant to the Ministry of Culture.

Mahfouz left his post as the Director of Censorship and was appointed Director of the Foundation for the Support of the Cinema. He was a contributing editor for the leading newspaper Al-Ahram and in 1969 he became a consultant to the Ministry of Culture, retiring in 1972.

Marriage

Mahfouz remained a bachelorاعزب until the age of 43. The reason for his late marriage was that he labouredجاهد under his conviction that with its numerous restrictionsقيود and limitations عقبات , marriage would hamperيعوق his literary future. In 1954, he married an Egyptian woman, with whom he had two daughters.

He published 34 novels, over 350 short stories, dozens of movie scripts and five plays over a 70-year career. Many of his works have been made into Egyptian films. He was a board member of the publisher Dar el-Ma'aref. Many of his novels were serialized in Al-Ahram, and his writings also appeared in his weekly column, "Point of View". Before the Nobel Prize only a few of his novels had appeared in the West.

Clash with fundamentalistsالاصوليين    

As a consequence نتيجة of his outspoken صريح support for Sadat's Camp David peace treaty with Israel in 1978, his books were banned in many Arab countries until after he won the Nobel Prize.

Like many Egyptian writers and intellectualsالمفكرين , Mahfouz was on an Islamic fundamentalist "death list". He defended Salman Rushdie after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini condemned Rushdie to death in 1989, but also criticized his Satanic Verses as "insulting" to Islam. Mahfouz believed in freedom of expression and although he did not personally agree with Rushdie's work, he did not believe that there should be a fatwa condemning him to death for it. He also condemned Khomeini for issuing the fatwa, for he did not believe that the Ayatollah was representing Islam.

Attempted assassination

The appearance of The Satanic Verses brought back up the controversy surrounding Mahfouz's novel Children of Gebelawi. Death threats against Mahfouz followed, including one from the "blind sheikh," Egyptian theologian Omar Abdul-Rahman. Like Rushdie, Mahfouz was given police protection, but in 1994 Islamic extremists almost succeeded in assassinating the 82-year-old novelist by stabbing him in the neck outside his Cairo home.He survived, permanently affected by damage to nerves in his right hand. After the incident Mahfouz was unable to write for more than a few minutes a day and consequently produced fewer and fewer works. Subsequently, he lived under constant bodyguard protection. Finally, in the beginning of 2006, the novel was published in Egypt with a preface written by Ahmad Kamal Aboul-Magd.

Death and funeral

In July 2006, Mahfouz sustained an injury to his head as a result of a fall. He remained ill until his death on August 30, 2006 in a Cairo hospital.

Mahfouz was accorded a state funeral with full military honors on August 31, 2006. His funeral took place in the el-Rashdan Mosque in Nasr City in Cairo.

Mahfouz dreamed that all of the social classes of Egypt, including the very poor, would join his funeral processionموكب . However, attendance الحضور was tightly restricted by the Egyptian government amid protest by mournersالمشيعين . Mahfouz was the only Arabic-language writer to have won the Nobel Prize.

An Artist's Storty ترجمة القصة الاولى االمقررةعلى طلبة الصف الاول الثانوى " قصة فنان"" :

قال "أغسطس بوكوسيل " وهو يبتسم من سريره للرجل الضخم الذي وصل سرا ً عندما كان نائماً: " أعتقد أنك الطبيب، إنه لعطف منك أن تأتي. ولكنى لا أعتقد أنه بإمكانك مساعدتي، وعلي اية حال، وبما أنك هنا، فسوف أخبرك بما يؤلمنى . إنني فنان أقوم برسم بعض الصور و الرسومات..."

"ولكن..................."

" ضحك" أغسطس بوكوسيل " بمرارة وقال: "ستقول لي أنك لا تهتم بقصة حياتي؛ إنك أحد اؤلئك العامة الذين لا يبالون – وليس من المهم بالنسبة لك – لو أن شاباً ماهرا يرقد فى السرير في ريعان شبابه، ولا يقوم منه أبداً. لكني أظن أنك أُرسلت إلي هنا عن طريق أحد الفضوليين الذين يدعون انهم أصدقاء لى لتنقذتى من معاناتى ، ولن يمكنك ان تعرف مرضى الا اذا رويت لك قصة حياتى0

"ولكن..................."

"لقد ربيت تربية مرفهة، وسرعان ما أتضح أنني لست طفلاً عادياً؛ ففي السابعة من عمري حصلت علي جائزة لرسم حيوان، وسوف نتناسى حقيقة أنني قصدت برسمي أن أصور غروب الشمس فوق لندن.وبعد ذلك، زودني والداي الفخوران بي بالمزيد من أقلام الرصاص، والأوراق، ومنحوني فرصة الدراسة علي يد أعظم الرسامين. " "وفي الحادية والعشرين من عمري بدأت عملي كرسام للناس، ولقد رسمت احدي عشر صورة لوجهي، و لقد اتضح ان احدا لا يرغب فيهم ، ولو أنك دخلت إلي حجرة المعيشة، لرأيتهم معلقين بطريقة بائسة علي الحائط ينظرون إلي ذلك الكرسي الخالي، والذي لن أجلس عليه مرة أخري، لأنني واثق أنني لن أنهض من هذا السرير أبداً....."

"ولم يأت أحد من الناس لأرسم له صوره، ولم يعد لدي أدني رغبة في رسم مزيداً من الصور لنفسي، وعلي الرغم من أن ذلك قد يبدو أمر مستحيلاً إلا أن الرسم لم يعد يمثل مصدر سعادة حقيقة بالنسبة لي، وذلك بعد انتهائي من رسم الصورة الحادية عشرة، وهذا يثبت أن الإنسان يمكن أن يمل حتى من أكثر الجمال روعة.."

"ولكن......................."

" هل يمكنني أن أشير إلي أن هناك تكراراً معيناً في ملاحظاتك ؟ دعني أُكمل، وبعد ذلك تستطيع أن تقول:- لكن - كما يحلو لك. لقد تحولت من رسم الناس إلي رسم الريف،ولذلك رسمت الريف من الشباك الخلفى تسع مرات، ومن الشباك الامامى سبع مرات.

ولكن هل استطعت أن أبيع السبع صور الخاصة بالمنظر من الشباك الأمامي، أو التسع صور من الشباك الخلفي ؟ كلا! لم أستطع." ولم يتبقى معي إلا قدرا ضئيلاً من المال. لذا؛ قررت بعد صراع مرير مع نفسي، أن أنسي روحي، وأن أرسم من أجل المال، وعزمت علي أن أرسم الصور الفكاهيه لبعض الصحف، وتذكر أنني كنت بلا أمل، بل وجائع تقريباً، لذا فلا تفكر في بكل هذه القسوة..."

"ولكن............................"

- " أنا أعرف أنك ستقول أنه لو كان لدي روح الفنان الحقيقية، لكنت قد فضلت أن أموت بدلاً من أن أفعل ذلك؛ لكن تذكر أن زوجتي وأولادي كانوا يصرخون من أجل الخبز، أو أنهم كانوا سيصرخون من أجله لو كان لدي زوجة وأطفال، وهل كان ذلك خطأى أنه لم يكن لدي زوجة وأطفالاً صغاراً ؟لذلك رسمت ثلاثين او ارسعين رسما فكاهيا يوميا وارسلتهم الى الصحف0واكتشفب سريعا ان " بيع النفس"من اجل المال ليس شيئا سهلا كما يبدو 0صدق او لاتصدق ! لم احصل على مال0فقط عادت الى رسوماتى 000"

" ربما تسألني لماذا رُدت إلي صوري، إنني لا أستطيع أن أخبرك؛ لقد جربتهم علي القط 0 ، وكنت فى دوما فى الماضى أسمع التعبيراو المثل الذى يقول "مضحكين بما يكفي أن يضحكوا قط ". ولذلك فقد وضعتهم في صف، وحملت القط مرورا عليهم ، فضحك حتى مَرِضَ......وعلى اية حال لقد كان مريضا اصلا . "

ثم أصبحت محبطا أكثر وأكثر. حاولت ان ارسم للإعلانات، والملابس، وأجهزة البيانو، والزجاجات، وأن أقوم برسم سيدات فارعات الطول طويلات ذوى ابتسامة بلهاء، وكنت أرسلت هؤلاء بالمئات. وكان كل ما تلقيته هو: عينة لزجاجة أو اثنتين، وعينه لممشطه صوف، حتى أننى توقعت أن أحصل علي عينة لامرأة طويلة ذات ابتسامة حمقاء، لكن ربما تكون قد فقدت في البريد... "

"ولكن...................................."

" لذلك توقفت عن الكفاح والمقاومة،كان فلبى محطما، وصممت أن أُرقد فى سريري، ولا أقوم منه أبدا ً. لن تستطيع مساعدتى أيها الطبيب. ولن تفيدنى أى مهارة من مهاراتك. أنا متأكد أننى لن أنهض من هذا السرير أبداً..."

فقال الغريب وهو يضع " أوجستس بوكويسيل " علي السجادة بحرص: "وأنا واثق أنك سوف تنهض منه؛فقد جئت لآخذه ؛ فأنا من محل الأثاث، والسرير لم يسدد ثمنه. "
