Reflection 4..

Writing a narrative essay is exciting and creative, because you have to use your imagination to write the story.

You have to write three paragraphs. The first paragraph has the introduction of the story, and in the second paragraph you complete the story, and the conclusion has your recommendations of that story and what did you learned. The essay must be more than 200 words.

If you didn't use your imagination, many actions will be boring.

Reflection 3..

When writing a process essay and we concentrate on changing the verbs to the passive voice like the apple was eaten.

Writing a process essay is easy but you have to do some important steps:

The first paragraph has a general idea and it includes 25words.

In the main paragraph (the body) you have to use the passive voice in the process verbs and use linking words. It will have 100 words.

The conclusion it has a short repeated Idea and how the process will be; this will include 25 words.

Reflection 2..

I learned how to write a compare and contrast essay between two subjects and to choose what I prefer with the reason.

The first paragraph is about the two subjects and what is the relationship between them (general idea). This all has to be in 50 words.

The second paragraph talks about the similarities between the two subjects (at least 3 similarities) and it will be better if you add some examples.

The third paragraph talks about the differences (at least 3 differences) between the two subjects and it will show the details that you want to know.

In the conclusion you have to show what is more, the similarities or the differences and talk about your opinion and what you prefer and why.

Reflection 1..

Writing a procedure essay got easy for me, since we have done several practices with our teacher.

While writing procedure essays, we had to keep in mind the number of words which was an approximate of 150 words. What’s more, we should use the imperative form for example, “Do this”, “Do that”, “Don’t do this”. Also, not to forget to use the linking words “First”, “Secondly”, “Then”, “Next”, “After that”, “Finally”.

Always try to divide the essay into a minimum of three paragraphs, an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.

An awful memory..

Five years ago when I was still in high school, I went through an awful event that happened to me. On the last semester of my repeated 11th grade, I had a really bad headache. It was before my math exam, my parents thought I was faking it, the headache was so bad that I felt my eyes were to pop out therefore I was rushed to the hospital.

I don’t remember much what had happened at the hospital however, after 8 long hours in the operation room; I woke up to find myself in the recovery room. My parents were standing beside my bed, my mother holding my hand and crying I tried to joke about it to cheer her up, but when I looked at my father and saw the tears on his eyes, I couldn’t hold it. A tear rolled down my cheek when I saw my father’s tears, it was the first time I saw such tears on his eyes, it made me feel how important I was to my father, I was happy but in the same time sad to see his tears. After my parents left, my uncle walked in, he asked me how I was, I told him I was fine, though the image of my father still carved in my head. My uncle and I chatted a bit until he had to go so my grandmother can come in. My grandmother was also sobbing, she placed her hand softly on my forehead and prayed for me to get well soon, I kept quiet, I couldn’t say much.

A full day at the recovery room finally passed, I was taken to a normal hospital room and when the clock hit 12, all my family members were walking in with tears in their eyes; I thought this day was going to be a really long teary day. However, that thought changed when my uncle walked in with a huge box of Duncan daunts, I smiled saying that was what I needed. We started eating those sugary daunts while laughing and making jokes at me and my sugary.

People kept coming in and out for the two months I spent at the hospital, walking in with tears then walking out with laughter as I treated them to a daunt. What I really enjoyed about being in the hospital was the daunts that my uncle would bring me every day, on the other hand, the worst memory was those tears I saw in my father’s eyes.

How to make Orange juice..

Orange juice is a very popular and healthy drink worldwide. It’s full of vitamin C. Here is how the juice is produced.

First, the oranges are unloaded from the lorries. Then, they are graded, washed and sized. Next, the juice is extracted from the oranges and the waste is used as animal feed. After that, the juice is entered into the evaporator at high temperature for a short time. Then, it is concentrated. Next, the juice is kept in a refrigerated storage. After that, it is put into the canning machine. The step after that, the juice is shipped all over the world including Dubai Port. Then, the concentrated juice is diluted by adding water into it.
