hi Salwa
From what I have read: you have funding but no phd offer letter, is this correct?
Perhaps you need to improve your research proposal; after writing it, have someone check it for you.
There should be help from your present university (where you did your masters if you are still there); for example the Student Center should have some advisors for writing cvs, letter of motivation etc.
You need to send in a proposal that is academically and gramatically correct (with the research question clearly outlined and justified).
For example, your title "Interaction problems in English as a Foreign Language Classrooms in Saudi Arabia" , you need to say how you are going to go about it (assuming you want to do your phd in UK). Perhaps you might need to rephrase your title.
Good luck

hi Salwa
I dont know how to help you; what do you mean "by your scholarship will expire soon"?
How about contacting a representative from your country instead?
And ask them if they can sponsor you for a phd in TESOL etc.etc.
Perhaps they can give you better advice about your research theme.

HAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHA!!!

heres one my friend told me:

There was once an Architect from Spain who moved to Italy. But in Italy, he couldn't find a job. Finally after months of looking, he found a job as a circus clown. During one performance, the clown had to be chased by a lion. The band started playing and there he was, the Spanish Architect in his clown costume and red nose.

The lion came roaring out of the cage. The poor clown ran round the ring. The crowd cheered.
Finally the clown stumbled and fell infront of the lion's face.
"Help! Don't eat me!" he screamed.

The lion pulled off his mask, and said, "Dont be afraid. I'm an architect too!"

here is one link another friend insisted was funny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f4dQNrpUeU

my friend sent me this:

This is hilarious!!! Remember this the next time you need to return something and they are giving you a hard time!!!!!!!

A woman went to the service counter and told the clerk she wanted a refund for the toaster she bought because it won't work. The clerk told her that he couldn't give her a refund because she bought it on special offer.

Suddenly, the woman threw her arms up in the air and started screaming,


'PINCH MY NIPPLES,
PINCH MY NIPPLES,
PINCH MY NIPPLES!!!!!!'

The befuddled clerk ran away to get the store manager in front of a growing crowd of customers.

The manager comes to the woman and asks, 'Ma'am what's wrong?'

She explains the problem with the toaster, and he also tells her that he can't give her a refund because she bought it on special offer.

Once again, the woman throws her arms up in the air and screams,


'PINCH MY NIPPLES,
PINCH MY NIPPLES,
PINCH MY NIPPLES!!!'

which begins to draw an even bigger crowd!

In shock, the store manager pleads, 'Ma'am, why are you saying that?'

In a huff, the woman says,



'BECAUSE, I LIKE TO HAVE MY NIPPLES PINCHED WHEN I'M BEING SCREWED !!'

The crowd broke into applause and her money was quickly refunded!!

Now stop laughing and send it to your friends.
