Here is Rika's Article:

I interviewed my classmate, Sulaiman Meshall. He is from Saudi Arabia. He has been in Missoula for eight months. When he came here, he talked to his father. He usually hangs out with his friend, Omar. He likes to drive around here. He bought sunglasses by himself two weeks ago, and went to float the river.
He likes to listen to the music, Rap, and has fun in his free time.
Last spring, he went to snowboarding, and tried it. However, he didn’t like it well.
He thinks that Spain is the nicest country because Spain is beautiful.
He had never considered his plan well, but he hopes to go back and live in Saudi Arabia in the future.
