Reflection 4
Reflection 3
In process essays we used present passive which means is and are with past participle, e.g . oranges are graded. And the essay structure is the same to procedure. It has introduction, main paragraph, conclusion: 25+100+25=150 words. And we used the linking words, the same as procedure: first, secondly, next, after that, finally.
The UAE & Brunei
As we all know there are a lot of the rich countries in this world but today I’m going to write about the differences and similarities between the UAE and Brunei .
There are four major similarities between UAE and Brunei. The first similarity is Islam. Both counties have the same religion which is Islam so for example they have mosques. The second similarity is the airline; both countries have their own nationality airline which motivates the country. Another similarity is the oil and gas; both of them depend on gas and oil these things made these two countries rich.
Although there are some similarities between UAE and Brunei, there are also some differences between them. The first difference is geographic location. UAE is located in the Middle East but Brunei is located in the Far East. The second difference is the climate. UAE has summer and winter but Brunei has on seasons. Another difference is the building style; in Brunei the buildings are built on pillars but in UAE all buildings are from concrete. The differences is the steering in the cars In UAE the steering is on the left but in Brunei on the right which makes the road using different .

Olives
Most people in the world are interested in eating olives and making their food with olive oil so manufacturing olive oil is a long and difficult process but if you follow these steps carefully you’ll produce good quality oil.
Ther first step is the olives are harvested and picked by hand or if it’s too far with sticks. Then the olives are collected in nets beneath the trees. Secondly leaves and small stones are removed but before crushing the olives are washed to remove impurities. After this the olives are crushed by using granite stones and this is done within 24-36 hours of picking. Next, the paste obtained is layered on mats and it is put under pressure from a screw or hydraulic press. Also the liquid is produced by pressing the mats and its is collected for separation . Finally , the liquid is separated by putting it through a centrifugal separator.
As you can see it is a hard and very long process, but if you follow these steps perfectly you will have a good quality oil.

Compare and contrast UAE high schools and UAE colleges
As we all know, education plays a huge part in our lives. Moreover, we must use it as a tool to improve ourselves and our country’s development. Nowadays, in the UAE there are many institutions where you can learn. In this essay, I am going to write about the similarities and differences between two of them, high schools and colleges.
There are three clear similarities between high school and college. The first similarity is that both institutions have exams. At the end of each semester, the teachers give you marks for the exams you have taken. The second similarity is that you can make friends in both places. Friends are important because they can help you with homework and all life’s problems. Yet another similarity is attendance. If students get more than 10%, the institution will kick him out.
Although there are some similarities between college and high school, there are also three major differences. The first difference is mobile phones. In high school you cannot your mobile whereas in college you can carry it everywhere with you. Another difference is students working with computers. In colleges all students must have their own laptops in contrast to schools where laptops are forbidden. Yet another difference is army training. In high school once a week, there is army training. However, in college there is no army training.
Studying at the college or high school is the same. Despite this, I would prefer studying in college. There are several reasons which make me choose the college, because in college we have more freedom and the communication with the teachers is better than in high school.

Reflection 2
I found writing a narrative story is more difficult than the procedure essays because in narrative stories we imagine things and write about something that happened to us. We must use our imagination in all stories. There are some basic tenses we must use in all stories like past continuous, simple past and past perfect

The plane and the car
Yesterday I was returning home after a trip to Bangkok. After a delicious meal at the airport, I set off for my home since I saw keen to see my family again. As I was driving along a highway , I saw a plane getting closer to the road.
I started to drive faster, but the plane kept on getting nearer and nearer. After a second or two, I realized I was driving along an empty highway with the lanes on the other side completely full and stationary. Was I in a dream or what? Suddenly the plane’s front crashed on my car and made me go even faster. Finally I came to a stop and felt so relieved.
As I sat in my car in a state of complete shock, I began to wonder what may have caused the pilot to land the plane on the highway. A friend of mine who borrowed the car the day before may have put a sticker on the roof which said ‘’follow me’’. Or, more likely, a passenger may have had a heart attack and the pilot needed to land the plane quickly. I really had no idea how I got myself in to this situation.
Still not believing my eyes, I got out of the car and was pleased to know nobody was injured. The pilot gave me a cheeky smile. I was not a happy man.

Unknown Camping
A week ago, my friends and I were driving on a small road, and nobody else was around. When we were there we sang all the time. Suddenly I saw a car turned over on its side.
As we got closer to the car my friends told me to stop, so I stopped and looked around then I noticed that near the car was camping equipment and a burning campfire, but there were not any people.
After that, my friends and I were curious to know whose camp this is, but I told my friends that somebody may have left this camp maybe because his friends did not come. My friends told me why we do not wait to know whose camp this way, and we waited thirty minutes but nobody came. Then I told my friends to stay here and they agreed with me. I told them if we would stay here we had to have wood to cook. I brought wood and we ate our dinner, then we went to sleep.
In the morning we went back home.On the way back to our home, we were singing and dancing and we felt very happy.
