Reflections on English 125

After I finished my diploma and graduated from the ADMC in 2004, I came back and joined ADMC again to complete my bachelor degree. When I came back I faced a problem that my English became weak and need to be improved. So I stated with English 125 which helps me to improve my writing skills.

In this course we studied four types of writing; describing a Process, Describing a Procedure, Compare and Contrast and Narration. My favorite writing topic was in compare and contrast, and to improve my writing skills I did a lot of practices in writing and reading.

I didn't find any difficulty with the other topics because my teacher helps me to improve my writing by given us a lot of writing practices.

At the end, studying Eng125 helps me a lot to remember what I have studied before and improved my writing skills, but I have to practice more and more to get higher grates.

Accident in the Desert

Last weekend, I was with my friends Ali and Mohammed and we were driving around the city. Ali Said; it is boring let us do something. I said what about going to the desert for a Barbecue trip. They said it’s a good idea. So we went to supermarket to buy what is needed for this journey. After preparing everything we went to place called Awafi, it is a place in the desert in Ras Al Khaimah. We arrived to Awafi in the evening time; it was not easy to find a good place to set because it was very crowdie.



Finally we found a nice place near a big dune. We started to set the fire, suddenly a four wheel car went down from the dune and the driver did not see us. Ali screamed; guys be careful, so we jumped from where we set and it was just a seconds before the car hits the fire and all of our equipments. The car driver stopped and he was very scared because he thought he hit one of us. Mohammed was angry and he was going to fight with the guy. I told him comedown it was our mistake we should not set in place like this and thanks god that we are fine and nobody got injured. The car driver apologized to us and he insisted to us to go with him to his camp to have dinner with him and his friends. Because of this accident we met a new friends and we found a place for our next journey.

Abu Dhabi and Al Ali



Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and it’s the largest and biggest Emirate between the seven emirates. The most important cities in Abu Dhabi are Abu Dhabi city and Al Ain city. Although there are some similarities between them, there are also many differences.

There are some similarities between Abu Dhabi and Al-Ain. Both cities are located in the UAE and the weather in both of them is hot in the summer, cold in winter and some rain. Moreover, both cities having Industries but not many, also they have well planned streets which take you where you want easily.

Although there are a number of similarities there are several differences between Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. The first difference is that Abu Dhabi is near the sea and it's an island with flat land and beaches, however Al Ain is an oasis in the middle of the desert with sand dunes and mountains. Another important difference Abu Dhabi is a very busy city and having a very large companies, small companies and offices while Al Ain is very quite city and not having the same number of companies like Abu Dhabi.

We can see that Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are similar in some things but very
different in others. Many people prefer Al Ain more than Abu Dhabi because it's very quite city and they like to live there.

Studying in the UAE or Overseas


Many students when they finish their secondary school they get confused in how they will complete their high education. While many students like to go overseas to study, others prefer to stay at home. In the following essay, I will outline some differences as well as some similarities between the two.


First, neither choice is easy. Both UAE colleges and foreign universities require a lot of work. Also studying in the college or university is completely different than studying in the school, you need to depend on yourself in every things. Second, in college you will meet people from deferent cultures and cities.


Nevertheless, there are some conspicuous differences. A major difference is Studying in the UAE is easier because you are near your family. In addition, most of the colleges and universities abroad are mixed-gender with males and females while here in the UAE they are separate, females are studying in a separate college or university which is more comfortable for them. Moreover, Studying abroad will help the student to learn English faster than the student who studies in the UAE. Finally, many young people enjoy the freedom of being in college. In contrast, some students do not benefit from the lack of control.


In summary, studying in the UAE or overseas has got many similarities and differences but at the end it depends on students needs, he or his family know what the better is for him.

Orange Juice



Most people agree fresh orange juice is the best, but sometimes it is easier to enjoy juice from a carton. This is almost the same as fresh juice but has been made from concentrate.


Concentrate is evaporated juice. You can’t drink it because it is very acidic, so water is added to it. In this essay we are going to describe the processes of making orange juice concentrate and the final drink product.




First, upload the fruit from the farm and grade the fruits by removing the bad once. Second, wash the fruits and put them into the juice extractor. Third, evaporate the juice for a short time to concentrate it and then store the juice in refrigerated storage. Fourth, fill the concentrate juice in cans throw the canning machine. Fifth, export the product to the company's stores and branches. Finally add water to the concentrate juice to be ready for sell.




Having an orange juice is quite easy but knowing the steps how this product was created or manufactured is very important.
