Thank you



I have always thought that I was very good in English and when I knew that I had to take an English course I felt depressed because I thought it would be a waste of time.

After a few weeks I found out that I was not really good at a few things like writing and reading. But after a few classes with Mr. Gregory I started to get better in reading and writing. Classes with Mr. Gregory were very helpful because I feel like I am much better in writing. Also, I think that my right arm got bigger after all the writing tasks.
In conclusion, I don’t need a long conclusion. All I need to say is thank you Mr. Gregory.

How roads are built


Ever wondered how our roads have been built? I know I have. I am going to tell you how roads are built in 8 simple steps.

First, count the number of cars using the existing roads so that you could know how wide your new road should be. Then, start planning a route of the new road. Next, send the plans to the required authorities for their approval. After that, clear the route using bulldozers to get rid of all the houses and trees. Don’t forget to flatten the ground when you are finished. Then, put down thick layers of concrete. After that, complete the top surface of the road. Next, add lane markers, road signs and luminous traffic signals. Finally, check the roads for defects and open the road.
Just follow these simple steps and you will be driving on your own road in no time. Have fun, and good luck!

How to get high marks on your exams.



Have you ever spent hours after countless hours studying for an exam and still fail it? I’m sure you have. In this short essay I am going to show you how to get high marks on your exams.

First, the most important step to do is to organize your time and commit to your schedule. And when you’re studying, switch off your mobile phone, Ipod, TV and anything else that might distract you. You must not study for more than two hours at a time, you should study for one or two hours and take a 30 minute break and study again. Another effective way to study is by studying with a few friends, but try to focus and do not let them distract you.

That is all I know, I hope that my advice has helped you, and I hope that you get great and high marks on your exams. Good luck!

My best summer vacation


On June 1999, my mother surprised my brothers and I by telling us that she bought the house in London that we used to rent every year.
We were very excited to go to London, and my mother told me that my cousins are going to come with us, so I got even more excited because all my cousins are close to my age.
Two weeks later, we all went to the airport together and got on the plane. After we reached London we went to Croydon, that’s where our house is. When we entered the house we were in shock because we saw a woman that my mother hates, living inside the house. My brothers and I were laughing but my mother got angry so that was fun for us. A few days later we all settled down in the house and everyone got to choose their own room, the house was always filled with laughs and everyone was having a great time. My cousins used to race me downstairs to see who gets to play the Nintendo first.
After a month we went back to Abu Dhabi and a few days later we heard that the woman who lived in the house broke a water pipe and flooded the house.
I’m just happy that I have the memory of the perfect summer vacation
