Recent orders
Wal-Mart were established. This is because they are well established and sell goods at a lower price with less discounted to the customers. For example the sugar and Cream brand which contained 100 percent cotton yarn was sold at $1.68 for 2.5 ounces. Despite this challenge
Virginia’s Yarn shop still had customers buying from all over the town. Besides

The increasing numbers of any group of students from the same country or the same language
In my paper, I choose to consider having many students from Saudi Arabia in the United States will not deter them from learning English in any way. Some argue that since students from Saudi Arabia are many in the same area, they do never see the necessity of learning another language because as they will communicate with their native language. However, I differ with this because as Saudi Students who are foreigners they will eventually learn the language because they want to interact with the Americans. This way, the Americans also learn their way of life. In fact, English is clearly the national language in the United States, and it is also the mother tongue to a vast majority, so by deciding that one is not going to learn the good language they will be sentencing themselves to some kind of solitary confinement (McLaughlin 76).
According to Eli (103), the world is increasingly shrinking into a global village, which is characterised by a uniform language and lifestyle, additionally the internet is slowly changing the cultural front and general behvaour of man. The only enabler for these changes is a modern language spoken by everyone; English. In the light of the above argument, English is part and parcel of change. One way to manage change is to embrace it; this necessitates the need to learn English. Interaction in a global village is extremely useful, and English is the most common language of interaction in the global village.
The Saudis can only ignore the need to learn English at their own peril because; it is one of the GCC states that which offer the precise oil. In international trade, it is extremely difficult for two parties to trade, without having a modus operandi. Thus, learning English is necessary to the Saudi for trade, and relations.
Some of the possible situations that are likely to arise if the whole population did not learn English include lexical, syntactical and phonological mistakes and the general inability to communicate effectively with other communities. Other factors that necessitate the need to take in ELS include; the country being at the center of all the trade routes, English being the main language the drives the world economy and political issues. Besides, most of the Saudi seek better education for their children. Most of the schools in Saudi embraced the madras system, however, as time changes, the Saudis have learnt the importance of proper formal education going by their inclusive education policy. The Saudi parents have realized the importance of better education and have started taking their children to overseas university. Those students who study overseas learn how to bridge the gap existing between their linguistic competence in English and that of English interlocutors.
Conclusion
Communication is important in the modern civilized community; however, cross-cultural communication is much more important. The need to articulate issues might require people to embrace other cultures. This means people have to learn other languages to be able to interact in the globalised world. Therefore, it is important for students should learn other languages even if they live in the same area.

Abstract
This paper seeks to give an analysis on the importance of fine art. Art can occur in different forms such as art pieces, drama presentations, as well as through works of literature. In turn, students are impacted, in that they learn to appreciate art and their intellectual development improves. This means that a lot should be done to ensure that students are engaged in art activities. Art should be in schools, at home, as well as other places, where students frequent as its benefits are needed. Students are thus able to develop their awareness on culture, increase their self-esteem, and acquire skills needed for critical thinking (Cornett, 2003).
Analysis of the impact of fine art on the intellectual development of students
In elementary school, is when students first have the opportunity of knowing what fine arts entails, and this also occurs when they are at home. Most times, the fine art takes the form of acting in plays, among others. Students’ academic achievement, development as well as motivation are influenced by the fine arts according to research. This means that there is a connection between the mind and art (Cornett, 2003). Most students involved in fine art have benefited from being aspired, acquiring skills and knowledge, which in turn have led to motivation and personal fulfillment. Human beings are distinguished by their achievement and imagination, which is brought about by art.
Most students stop continuing with their schooling as they believe that the system of education does not benefit them. Studies have found out that students who undertake art courses are motivated to continue with their education. This is because through art, many experiences are created and in turn, develops the students in many ways. In order to understand the benefits of fine art, Lowenfield came up with a theory based on constructs, which are psychoanalytical. In order for children to develop mentally and in a healthy manner, they should be introduced to art early enough in life. Mental disturbances and self-confidence deterioration occurs when the creativity of students is prohibited. Art ensures that students become creative and this plays a great role in their lives. Even Albert Einstein believed that knowledge is not as essential as imagination. Through art, students become imaginative (Ables & Hrowitz, 2000).
Students are able to relate to different scenarios when they engage in reading works of literature. This in turn makes them develop skills for critical thinking, become aware about different cultures, and even reason well. The students acquire the knowledge of many authors, who are known for their great literature works. By engaging in drama, they acquire essential skills needed for reading (Ables & Hrowitz, 2000. When students act in plays, they are able to know how to relate with others, self-esteem is built and also they acquire memorization skills. The students become aware of people’s cultures and how they can relate to different people. By creating art pieces, students develop their reasoning as well as enhance the coordination of their hands and eyes. For example, students who create sculptures, improve their senses such as sight and touch. Thus, all the different types of art should be encouraged among students (Dahlman, 2007).
Conclusion
In conclusion, art is extremely beneficial and a lot should be done to ensure that students are engaged in it. Intellectual development in developed by the different forms of art. In turn, the student improves greatly in all sectors of their lives and thus become successful.
