To change your tyre

  

Anybody driving car, should know the safety procedure about the vehicle that he uses. So now I`m going to explain the steps if your car tyre blows out and you are in a remote area and there is no garage.

Firstly, the nuts of the wheels are to be loosened and your car should be on the ground. Then the car is lifted by the jack. Next, the nuts are removed. After that the damaged tyre is replaced and the new tyre is fixed in. Then the nuts are tightened. Next the car is lowerd and the nuts are tighten. Finally the old tyre is put pack to the trunk and you can go ahead with your car

          As you see from what I have written, the procedure may show easy steps but in reality it needs strong people, that means it’s difficult for women to do this especially if the car is 4 wheel drive.

A Journy from Brunai to Sarawak





Thirty years ago, Hedley, with his wife Mary and daughter Katie, visited the Niah Caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They travelled by car, ferry, and boat.

They set off from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and
drove to the border with Sarawak. They crossed two large rivers by ferry, stopped in Miri for lunch and then continued to Niah, a small river township. Then they hired a small boat and sailed upriver to a government rest house, where they spent the night. They ate with the small group of scientists who lived in the rest house and shared the cold drinks they had brought with them in a cool box. It was a remote spot, deep in the jungle. They slept in bunk beds with no air conditioning. It was a novel experience.

The next morning, they walked along a jungle path for half an hour until they reached the Niah caves. Inside the caves, which were very high, they saw men who climbed up tall bamboo poles. The men wore lights on their hats because it was so dark. At the top of the poles they scrapped off birds’ nests from the roof of the caves. The nests were collected by their mates on the cave floor and packed into sacks. These nests were later sold and made into bird’s nest soup, a Chinese delicacy.

That afternoon, they said goodbye to their new-found friends in the rest house and set off on the long drive home. It was quite an adventure and one they would never forget.

Celebrating National Day

          This weekend I celebrated National Day in Dubai. I went with my family for two nights, and I wasn’t planned for this journey.

          We left Abu Dhabi on Thursday morning and drove to Dubai. The duration to arrive was one hour, and I was booked into Dusit Hotel on Shaikh Zayed St. The place of the hotel was very nice and we were on the 13^th floor with a Burj Khalifa view. After we arrived we went to the Mall of Dubai and we went to Sea World park in the mall, but we didn’t complete our round because my son was afraid and crying all the time. Then we take our dinner and we went to the hotel. The day after, we left the hotel at 12:30pm to the Mall of Emirates and at 5:30pm we went to Global Village. We enjoyed it there. We visited most of the villages and t was crowded.

The vacation was really interesting and distinctive because of the events and parties of the National Day and the weather was fine. Saturday we left Dubai, going back to Abu Dhabi, and we enjoyed the National day in Dubai.

Process : Orange juice

          Health is very important for the people, so they drink orange juice because it has vitamin C. So in this essay, I will explain how orange juice is made.

          First, the fruit is unloaded from trucks. Then the oranges are graded; after that they are washed in the machine. Next the fruit is sized and sent to the juice extractor to be extracted. The waste is fed to animals and the juice is moved to the evaporator. After that the juice is concentrated and refrigerated to store it. Then the orange juice is sent to a canning machine and shipped to Dubai. Finally, the water is added to the concentrate and sent to market.

          In conclusion, the steps look easy but I think it takes time and the people who work there have to concentrate on their job to prevent the chance of juice being sour.

Reflection 2

My teacher Hedley told me to write another two essays. One of them was about the UAE in the past and the present, and it was an easy one. The other was about compare and contrast living in cities or villages. Both of them should contain four paragraphs, starting with the introduction, then similarities and differences and the last is the conclusion, which should include my opinion; each essay must be more than 200 words.

Cities and villages

                Across the world, there are many differences from one place to another, especially if you see the variety of big cities and small towns. In this essay I will compare and contrast the big cities and small villages.

                There are many similarities between cities and villages. The first similarity is that you can live in both of them. If you are in the city, you will see many people living in their homes and the same in the village. Another similarity is that both of them have schools. For example, you can send your children to their schools in the village and also in the city. Yet another similarity is that both have street and roads. If you are driving in the village, you don’t have to drive 4x4 cars because there are streets.

                Although there are many similarities there are three major differences. The first difference is the crowds. For example, if you are working in the city and your residence is five minutes from your work you need more than twenty minutes to reach it. Another difference is the shopping malls. In the city you can find many shopping malls, which are not in the village. The final difference is that the village can has farms. Most of the people in the village have farms or are living nearby are, and at the same time you will never find one farm in the city.

                Overall, the differences outweigh the similarities. I prefer the village, because there is no noise and you can go from place to place very easily.

The UAE urban renaissance

                The big desert and long beaches with small distributed villages in the barren land, has been changed in a few years to big cities and thousands of farms. In this essay, I`m going to write about the UAE in the past and now.

          There are several distinct similarities between the UAE forty years ago and now. The first similarity is that both have the same climate. If you lived, you would melt in the summer because of the hot weather. Another similarity is the tradition has not changed. Nowadays the UAE nationals wear dishdasha which is the same at before. Yet another clear similarity is the religion which is Islam.

          Although there are many similarities between the UAE now and before, there are three major differences. The first difference is the facilities. Nowadays you can find hospital or clinic in every place whether you are in the city center or in the suburbs. Another difference is the education. Before there were no universities; you could only find the small schools far away. The final difference is the urban renaissance. Last year was launched the tallest skyscraper in the world which was an amazing thing, because the country’s age is less than forty years.

          Overall differences outweigh the similarities. In my opinion, four decades ago the life was easy and responsibility was less than now, but I prefer the life right now.

Procedure of making butter

            Across the world, many people are eating dairy products every day, but most of them don’t know how to make butter. In this essay I will guide you how to make butter.

            First of all you have to buy new milk and check the milk to see if it is fresh. Second, put the milk in the refrigerator and leave it for some time to be cool. After that, separate the cream and churn it for some time. Next, drain the buttermilk from the butter and place the butter in a jar. Then, wash the butter with cold water to remove the remaining buttermilk. Follow the previous step and add a small amount of salt for flavor and cut and wrap the butter. Finally store the butter in a fridge.

            As you can see from the above, making butter is a short and easy procedure, but you have to do it carefully and choose the fresh milk.

How to use an ATM machine

            As you know across the world, the technologies are increasing in modern countries. In this essay, I will write about the ATM machine and how to use it.

            First of all you have to open an account to deposit your money, and you have to get the ATM machine card issued. Second, when you want to withdraw money, you have to put your card password that is attached with it. Then follow the instruction on the screen and you can choose how much you want or write on the keyboard in front of you. Finally take your card, money and your receipt paper that has all the information for your operation.

            As you can see from what I have written, the machine is very useful and it saves your time. But on the other hand, this machine is dangerous if anybody knows your password and has your card, so you should keep this thing secret for yourself.
