UAE & Brazil Foot ball

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.

World rankings prove that Brazil is easily the better team. Despite this, I would prefer to watch the UAE. There are several reasons for this but the most important one is that the UAE has a huge potential. They are an emerging nation in football, and it is interesting to see new talent. Also, this country has many skilful players who will improve with experience.

National day

National day is a great event in our life and for the UAE as a country and population. This event is one of many events we can celebrate and reflect our happiness in this beloved country.

In this year it was the biggest occasion I had ever .First of all, I went with my friends to a decoration car store and I decorated my car by putting some stickers and photos of our president. Also we bought some flags to stick them on the car. One of these flags was so big we covered the car roof with it .After that we went to Abu Dhabi Corniche which was the starting point of this celebration. All people gathered there came from different emirates to celebrate on this big day. We drove around Abu Dhabi several times with this group of people and during the festival we pressed the car horn continually to express our pleasure. We had sung and danced before we arrived in Abu Dhabi. I saw many of my relatives and friends when I was celebrating.

In conclusion, I learnt how to celebrate with a group of people and express my feeling in this event. I enjoyed so much with my friends and I hope to celebrate this event again next year.

Reflection

English lesson 125 in the writing section is easy and at the same time hard in some ways. I learnt writing procedure and narrative essay

The writing procedure was easy, but nothing is easy without practice .It’s a good thing to learn it from the basics and that is one of the many reasons which let me feel confident in this type of writing. also I must write around 150 words in present simple (active voice).I faced some difficulties in linking words such as the ,a in the beginning and middle of the sentences and also at the same time I should add some more words from my knowledge to get completed sentences .For the flow chart I should concentrate on when the flow chart starts and follow until the end to put the steps in the Wright order and that was a little hard because sometimes you can mix that by putting one order before the other and when you continue you will get the whole procedure wrong in the order of steps .

However, the narrative essay is the most difficult one because it has the most types of tenses present simple, past simple ,past continuous ,past perfect and I must use them all and in the right time and place or I will not get a good mark. The main problem when I write a story is I must think how to make this story attractive to the reader and connected with my real life, as it happened to me, by writing about 200 words. But, as I said, with more practice you will achieve your goal.

I would like to thank Mr. Hedley for his help and encouraging me a lot until I reached my goal. I hope to learn more from this course which will be useful to me in the future.
