Canning Fish


Most people like to eat fish. When we cannot find it fresh we buy it in cans from the supermarket. In this essay I will write about how fish are canned.


After the fish are caught they are delivered to a cannery, a factory where food is canned. Firstly, the fish are cleaned by scraping away the scales. Next, salt is added to prevent the growth of micro-organisms. After that, the fish are washed; water and chemical are used in this process. Then, they are canned by using big machines. Next, liquid is added to the canned fish which is a mixture of oil and preservatives. After that, cans are sterilized; a special sterilizer is used in this step. Finally, they are stored in dry and cool places and they are ready to be sold.

In conclusion fish are passed through many steps to be canned. This process takes long time to be done , because it is very important.

After ten minutes I heard the voice of women she was saying "Help me please". I searched for that voice everywhere but I couldn't find anything. After that, I heard a sound of a dog. I thought maybe the lady was afraid of the dog. I saw the dog was walking on the street it was big black dog. I tried to follow the doges it might go to the lady's voice. The dog takes me to the end of the street and it turned back.

I said " It doesn't make since if I followed animals ".So, I went back to my place > I heard the lady's voice again and again she was saying " Help me " I searched everywhere to discover from where this voice was coming . Because, it was dark night I couldn't see well. When I was searching I saw something was moving under the table but it was dark so I couldn't see clearly> I went back my room and I got small light with me so I could see what was under that table.

I went there and I turned the light on and a strange voice came immediately and the light stopped working. I checked the problem and the strange sound was coming because of battery so I should change that old battery. I went to the nearest shop it was open and I bought new battery. I went back to that table and I turned on the light and I saw an old lady who was afraid. I talked to her about why was she here and why did she scream.

Oilfield to Petrol Station



Oil is the main recourse in the UAE which supports our economy. Transporting oil from oil well to petrol station is a hard process and it needs time and a lot of work. In this essay I will describe the stages from the discovery of oil to the sale of petrol in the filling station.


First, the oil is located underground in desert and under the ocean or sea. Next, the oil is pumped through large pipelines to refineries. After that it is stored in huge storage tanks. Then it is refined into many different products like residuum, heavy gas oil, Kerosene, and petrol. After that the petrol is stored in different types of tanks. Next, it is transported to different petrol stations where it is stored in underground tanks. Finally it is pumped into customers cars tanks.


In summary these steps are not easy and they cost lots of money but, this is how my car gets its petrol.

Shopping in malls & souqs


Lots of people nowadays spend their time in shopping. They enjoy doing it and some of them take it as a hobby. Some of them prefer shopping malls and the other prefer souqs. In this essay I will compare and contrast shopping in malls and souqs.


Firstly, there are a lot of similarities between shopping in malls and souqs. One of them is you can buy the same things from both. Both have many shops and they sell random things. You can enjoy your time shopping in both.


On the other hand there is more differences between them than similarities. The souqs are in open area, but the malls are enclosed. The prices in malls are more expensive than in souqs. If you buy anything from malls you will be sure it is original but if you buy it from souqs it might be fake.


Finally, I find shopping in malls is better than souqs because you will be sure and comfortable with what buy. You will also find whatever you want in malls like most brands and technology, but you can't find them in souqs. Also, in malls you can park your car easily, but it is harder to find parking in souqs.

Portfolios : Paper or Online?


Nowadays lot of people uses many things to organize their works. Colleges & universities student use some material and techniques to save their job and their time. Some of these materials are online Portfolios and big paper file. In this essay I will compare and contrast online and paper-based portfolios and give my preference.

Portfolios are collections of students' work over time. And this can be in a big paper file or online portfolios. Paper file which you carry it and you but the real paper in it .But, the Online paper is free Space in the Internet, Where you can type and upload your text.

Firstly, the based portfolio is huge, so you will not be able to carry it anywhere. Also, you can easy lose it, because you have only one copy. If you use it you will find difficulties to show or share your Colleagues. On the other hand, it is easy to see a glance .Also, you're and your teacher editing will be clearly visible.

Secondly, the online portfolio is very portable. Also, it is easy to edit, you can adjust whatever you want easily. And. You can use new media like sound, video and presentations. But, you need internet connection to open your online files, and sometimes you can't find it anywhere.
At the conclusion both are very good. But, I think online portfolios are better. I can use it easily. And it is portable. And it can be commented on by other student.

The similarities and differences between studying here and abroad


Lot of people nowadays in the UAE prefer to study abroad. Some of them like to study at university in the UAE. There are some advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad. In this essay I'm going to talk about what are the similarities and differences between studying here and abroad.


The similarities of studying abroad and here are that in both you will study hard. So, the study in the UAE and abroad is not very easy and you should work hard. Also, if you study here or abroad you will get the same education degree after you graduate. The study in both of them is very good .Nowadays we have good universities in the UAE.


On the other hand the main difference in that studying in the UAE is cheap and sometimes the government pays for you. But, studying in foreign countries is more expensive and it costs a lot of money. Also, if you study abroad your English will be better, and you will depend on yourself because you aren't with your family.


My opinion is studying abroad is better than studying in the UAE. Your English there will be better because you are dealing with a lot of people who are not from your country and they use English only. Also, if you go abroad you will be far from your family and this thing is good for you, you will learn how to depend on your self. If I had enough money to study in a foreign country I would choose that.
