UAE & Brazil soccer

Comparisons
Model answer

Compare and contrast the overall play of Brazil’s national football team with that of the UAE. Say which of these teams you would rather watch and give reasons.

Most countries in the world have a football team, and Brazil and the UAE are no exceptions. I will describe the similarities and differences between the two teams, and say which one I would prefer to watch.

Like Brazil, the UAE is a member of FIFA which is an international body for regulating football. This means that both teams have eleven players, and substitutes are allowed. Both teams play to a system that has been agreed with the coaches beforehand. Brazil and the UAE defend when necessary but prefer to attack.

However, there are many differences in the style of play. Brazil plays at a higher level than the UAE and has won the World Cup. The former are fitter and faster than the latter and can adopt their style of play easily. This is because the Brazilian players have experience with teams all over the world while the UAE players usually play for local teams.

Although the UAE is my country and I always cheer for the football team I prefer to watch Brazil. There are many reasons for my opinion, the most important reason is that the Brazilian players are skillful and professional and they seem happy when they play. Another reason is that they play easily without any complication.

How to Produce 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 is the juice is shipped all over the world including Dubai Port. Then the concentrated juice is diluted by adding water into it. Finally the juice is sold in the markets.

As you can see producing orange juice is a difficult process, but if you follow the steps very carefully you will produce good orange juice.

Reflections

I learnt a few things about how to write procedure essays:

1- We use the active voice, e.g. make, boil, turn, etc.

2- We use the inking words, e.g. first, second, then, next, after that, finally.

3- We write the essay in three paragraphs in about (150 words): the introduction and the conclusion between (25-30 words) for each and between (90-100 words) for the main paragraph.

I also learnt how to write narrative essays:

1- We use the past continuous to describe something happened while we were doing something else, e.g. I was doing my homework when something broke …

2- We use the simple past for the main form, e.g. I heard, we saw, they told us …

3- Sometimes we use the past perfect to describe two actions which happened in the past, e.g. when I arrived at my house my parents were already gone.

Catching a Thief

Last weekend I went to Marina Mall to watch a movie in CineStar. I bought a ticket and I had to wait one hour until the movie started so I decided to go to Splash to buy some clothes. When I was walking inside the shop I saw a man who was trying to steal another man’s wallet.

The man who was trying to steal was standing behind the other man who was busy with choosing the right t-shirt and he didn’t realize that the man behind him was trying to steal his wallet so I decided to warn him, but I stopped and decided to wait until he took the wallet to catch him in the act. Two minutes later I saw the man step back and I thought maybe he thought about it and decided not to steal the wallet, but I was wrong because three minutes later he came back and stood behind the man and put his hand in his bucket so I ran to stop him before he ran away. When he took the wallet and turned around to run away I caught his hand and took the wallet from him and gave it back to its owner and I called the police.

The policeman came and arrested the thief and the other man thanked me a lot for what I did. At last I was happy because I caught a thief, but I also felt sad for the thief and why he tried to steal because he seemed a nice guy.
