3. Conversation Starters - A
Shakespeare was born in 1564. He wrote
plays and poems. His plays include
comedies, histories, and tragedies. Also his
best-known poems are “The Sonnets,” first
published in 1609. He encourages people to
educate themselves and to learn how to
write and to seek knowledge. What is
William Shakespeare’s famous quote?
- Fatima Alarfaj, English literature

4. Conversation Starters - A
Graphic design, the communication design, is
the art and practice of planning and projecting
ideas and experiences with visual and textual
content. As I know, graphic design is
everywhere, and both genders can work in this
field. However they should have knowledge in
this major and the ability to create and
understand graphic works. In this kind of job,
you will work on posters, newspapers,
magazines, commercial websites, exhibition
catalogues and more. Unfortunately, I don't
want to study this major because I think they
don't focus on this so much in my country, so I
might find difficulty in finding jobs. What do you
think? Do you agree? – Samar, Graphic Design

5. Conversation Starter - B
 I'm in the Faculty of Law at Majmmah University.
They requested that I study for my PhD at a US
university. However, I have already been admitted
to Dram university, which is in the UK. In spite of
this, Majmmah university will not allow me to go
there to study. Everybody agrees that admission to
a PhD in Law, especially from the US, is quite
difficult to achieve. Should I ignore the decision of
Majmmah university, or have patience until I
receive admission to a university in the US?
 (Law, Meshal)
