What do you know about the two billionaires?
From a poor family in Saudi Arabia,
Sheikh Sulaiman bin Abdul-Aziz
Al-Rajhi managed to become a
billionaire and one of the world’s
most respected businessmen and
philanthropists.
Sulaiman Al-Rajhi grew up in Al-Qassim, where
he and his older brother, Saleh, set up a small
business. They started by changing money for
travelers who were going to visit the holy cities
of Makkah and Madinah. When the oil industry
grew in the 1970s, the brothers expanded
their business. Many men from other countries
came to work in Saudi Arabia. Sulaiman and
Saleh helped these men by creating a safe
and reliable way to send money back home to
their families. Then, in 1983, they opened Saudi
Arabia’s first Islamic bank. Today, Al-Rajhi Bank
is the largest Islamic bank in the world.
Over the years, Sulaiman Al-Rajhi has

invested his wealth in many other businesses,
education, and charities. One of these is
organic farming, because he believes in a
healthy lifestyle. He also set up the Awqaf
Sulaiman Al-Rajhi Holding Company (ASRHC)
which supports charities and humanitarian
projects around the world. In 2009, the Awqaf
Sulaiman Al-Rajhi Holding Company (ASRHC)
opened the Sulaiman Al-Rajhi University,
which offers courses in Nursing, Medicine,
and Health Sciences.
In 2011, Sulaiman Al-Rajhi decided to give
away his entire fortune of $7.7 billion. He gave
most of his money to his family and the rest
to charity. For his many years of hard work to
establish an Islamic bank and his generous
efforts to help others, he was awarded the
King Faisal International Prize for Service to
Islam in 2012. Today he is rich in experience,
and he happily continues to work on projects
with the Awqaf Sulaiman Al-Rajhi Holding
Company (ASRHC).

As a young boy, Bill Gates was an
unlikely candidate for one of the future
richest men in the world. He was shy
and not very sociable. But he had a
special talent for math and science.
His parents recognized his intelligence
and enrolled him in Lakeside, a school
in Seattle that was known for its high
academic achievement.
It was there that Bill Gates came into contact
with the first computer, and also met fellow
student Paul Allen, who shared his fascination
for computers. At the age of 17, Gates built a
timetable system for the school and earned
$4,200.
In 1973, Bill Gates went to Harvard University, but
his heart was not in his studies. While he was in
college, he teamed up with Paul Allen to write
the first computer language program for the PC
(personal computer) called BASIC.
In 1976, Gates dropped out of Harvard and started
Microsoft with Paul. Their big opportunity came in
1980 when they signed an agreement to provide
the operating system for IBM’s new personal
computer. The operating system, MS-DOS,
became the operating system for PCs all over the
world.

Read the text. What are the advantages of shopping online?
Personally, I can’t stand shopping in department stores or malls.
They’re too crowded, and it takes too long to find what you want.
You buy something and then a week later, you see it on sale.
I prefer to do my shopping online. It’s convenient, quick,
and easy. When you know what you want, it takes just a few
minutes to compare prices. A lot of e-stores guarantee the lowest price, and they also make
exchanges or refund your money when you are not satisfied with a product. Many people think
e-shopping isn’t safe, but that’s not true. You need to choose well-known and secure websites.
And you don’t have to use a credit card because there are other ways to pay without giving
personal information.
I usually buy electronic stuff, accessories for my bike, and sports clothes. I am never
disappointed with the things I buy. Only once, I exchanged a bicycle helmet because it was too
small. But that wasn’t a problem. I think that I save money this way, because I only buy what I
want. I don’t spend money on things that I don’t need.
