Boston Marathon - Paraphrase

Boston Marathon Suspects 

As we know what happened in Boston, the two suspects Dzhokor Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan had planned for an another explosion in New York. They were thinking and planning that Times Square was their next location for putting bombs there and exploding this crowded place. 

Actually, in last friday, there was a fight between these two suspects and the police, where there was shooting in that time. During the fight, the big brother who was Tamerlan had been killed from the shooting that happened, while his brother Dzhokor ran away from the police. After, the police found Dzohkor hiding in a boat in yard behind a house. What happened next was that "He told the FBI, apparently, that he and his brother had intended to drive to New York and detonate additional explosives in Times Square. They had built these explosives and we know they had the capacity to carry out the catastrophe" (2013, par 3).

What I knew more about USA in my spring break

In my spring break I had went to tempe, Arizona. My best friends were actually studying there so I thought of visiting them because long time I haven't seen them and for visiting another state as well. Once I've been back to California, I observed a new thing that I was knowledgeable about which is different than California which is mostly the lifestyle.

I saw that Arizona is totally different than California, its more flat and it was like a desert. There wasn't a lot of things to do out there. For instance, my friends were telling me that in weekends, they mostly gather or have dinner outside. There was not any more choices to do except they rarely go to Flagstaff one time in a month to change the routine. On the other hand, the climate was different also. It was much hotter than California. These were the main things I observed from my visit to Arizona which is that every state has different way of living or the place differs in entertainment or tourism.
