Reflecton 4

In my essay I have wrote the ideas in 4 sections :

A short introduction to explain similarities and differences about the subject you are writing about.

The second paragraph is about the similarities i.e. Both countries are …. As …. There should be 3 or 4 similarities at least

The third paragraph is about differences. there should be at least 3 or 4. I.e. the biggest difference … anther deference is ….

(However you can swap the second & third paragraph)

Finally conclusion with my opinion about where I would like to live or which country I prefer. I did expresses my ideas and opinion to make the reason clear for the reader.

Reflection

I wrote my story as 3 parts and it was difficult to make.

The three parts are:a) past continuous, often used when setting the scene, e.g. I was driving home when I saw ...) simple past, the main form of the narrative, e.g. I saw, I ran, he was, I thought.c) past perfect, only rarely used.

For the interfacing of past and the past perfect I needed some corrections ... e.g When I arrived at the ATI, the class had already started.The class had already started when I got to the ATI.

The hardest part in writing a story is to imagine the story and writing it in good order to match the three tenses.

I think many of my classmates faced the same problem.

Reflection

In this reflection I will write about the process. The process must be in the passive form.

It will contain is and are plus the past participle, as are squeezed, is freezed, are mixed.

The process essay is always short. It has like 30 word for the introduction, 100 – 120 for the main process and 30 as conclusion so it will be within 150-180 words in total.

Comparing 2 countries

In this essay I will write about the similarities and differences between the UAE and Brunei. Both countries have many interesting things which will attract you. At the end I will write my own opinion about which country I feel it’s better for me to live in.

The UAE and Brunei have many similarities. Both are Islamic countries which have almost the same traditions. Both countries have hereditary monarchies ruling the land. You may be surprised if you know that Brunei has a lot of gas and oil just like the UAE; that’s why it is one of the rich countries. As national airlines both countries are leading the world in their nice planes in their very modern airports.

However both countries have differences. The biggest difference thing that anyone can notice is the climate between the two countries. It is very nice in Brunei and rainy almost every day. Their houses are built in a way that it is suitable for that kind of climate. In Brunei they also have very green jungles with a lot of trees and fruits. All of those things are making such a small country like Brunei a very nice place to live compared to the UAE. The roads in the UAE are better in designing and the cars in the UAE are left hand drive while it is right hand drive in Brunei. The education in UAE is a better but it is single sex schools, while in Brunei it is a co-education at system.

In my opinion as an Arabic person I would prefer to live in the UAE because it is a very modern country and it is growing very fast. I think the UAE is a better place for the future but the weather is the only problem while we are fasting in the UAE. All of this could be because I was born in the UAE, or it may be the feeling of being home.

That’s all about comparing the UAE and Brunei. I hope you find it an interesting topic because my teacher (Hedley) forced me to write about it.

Comparing the lap top and desk top

In this essay I will compare two types of computers. As we all have noticed the non-stop development of the computer, it has become smaller and smaller. In this essay you will read about the similarities and difference between the lap top and desk top computers.

Computers are generally the same in function but different in shapes and sizes. Both lap top and desk top can do the same job for anything. Both can be edited by hardware and software . Both can be connected to exported devices and both get upgrades every single day. Nowdays both can have the same wide space for storing data and the same high speed.

However, it all depends on where you use them. In case of travelling and working for long distances the lap top can be very useful because of its small size and portable battery. If you are a heavy computer user I advise you to go for the desk top because it’s suitable for the heavy duty and has a multi cooling system. Lap tops are usually used for business so you won’t need to edit too much hardware of install so many programs, but with the desk top can get as much hardware as you want and get the most heavy programs without any problems.

I personally prefer the desk top computer for my daily use because it’s very powerful and fast. Anyway you can’t live without a lap top because it saves your time and it’s portable. Both of them are necessary no days but it all depends on your demands.

Orange process

In this essay I will explain about making orange juice. Orange juice is very healthy and contains a lot of vitamins like C ,A ,B. You will read about the process of making high quality orange juice.

First, the fruit is unloaded from the lorries. Then the orange is graded and washed. After that the oranges are sent to the sizer and the juice extractor is takes the waste out which is used for feeding animals. Then the juice is evaporated at high temperature for a short time. The juice is passed through a concentrator.
Next step, juice is refrigerated in storage tanks to cool. After that, it is sent to the canning machine. The juice is shipped for selling. Finally water is added to the juice.

That’s all about the process. I hope you enjoyed it but I know you will enjoy it more if you visit any juice making factory. It’s huge but noisy so don’t forget to get your ear protection.

Reflection

In my writing procedure I used 2 essential types
1) I used the imperatives form, i.e. make sure, add, place, drain, separate, etc. Sometimes I was writing with –ing verbs or using extra unnecessary words


2) I used linking words, e.g. first of all, second, now, then, later on, after this, finally, at last


I always write my essays in 3 paragraphs: short introduction, main paragraph which is the body(c. 90-100 words) and short conclusion with advice; total: 150-160 words.
