week 4

This semester, I will study how to do presentation. However, during the last two weeks. I studied the basics of how to do a presentation which include choosing a presentation topic, brainstorm, write an outline, making presentation notes and practicing. However, I studied brainstorm more than the other and I wrote and talked about my motto and motto’s experience.

Brainstorm is writing many topics and details as you can think about something, and I had some practice about it. Then, I wrote my motto which is live your life such as a passenger and catch the chances. Which mean conditions take you where they are want but you must seize the opportunities.

That is what I took during the last three weeks and next week I will study presentation notes.

Camels and Llamas

There are many animals in the earth. All of them have many properties. For example there is which has hair, beak, claws or tusks. In this essay, I am going to write about similarities and differences between camels and llamas.

There are many several important similarities between camels and llamas. The first similarity is that they belong to the same class of animals, both being hoofed, four-legged ruminants. Another similarity is that they have similar personalities. Both can be bad-tempered – camels bite when they are angry and llamas spit. Yet another similarity is that both are adapted to hot climates. The bodies of both animals retain water well and they sweat very little in the heat.

Although there are some similarities between camels and llamas, there are also some distinct differences. The first difference is that Whereas camels are large and have one or two humps on their back, llamas are small and have no humps. Another difference is that the former live in the deserts of North Africa, Arabia, and Mongolia but the latter live in South America. Yet another difference is that camels are used for boasting among the Arabs, but llamas are not

Overall, the differences outweigh the similarities. In my opinion I prefer camels more than llamas, because I didn’t see or use llamas in real.

The UAE today and the UAE 30 years ago

Everything in this planet improves: people, animals, trees, bacteria and microbes and countries. The UAE was improved for three decades. The UAE today isn’t like the UAE before 30 years. In this essay, I am going to write about similarities and differences between the UAE now and the UAE 30 years ago.

There are many several important similarities between the UAE now and the UAE 30 years ago. The first similarity is that people interest on age-old customs such as camel-racing and traditional wedding celebrations. Another similarity is that although Emiratis occasionally wear western garb, men usually still wear the Kandorh and women the Abaya. Yet another similarity is that the religion is still the same: people are devoted to Islam.

Although there are some similarities between the UAE now and the UAE 30 years ago, there are also some distinct differences. The first difference is that the average Emirati did not have a car or two or a huge house. Now, however, this is commonplace. Another difference is that whereas three decades ago the only teaching was of the holy Quran, now teaching from kindergarten up through university is prevalent. Yet another difference is that medical facilities differ. In the past, people relied on traditional medicine such as herbal remedies but nowadays there are many modern public and private hospitals.

Overall, the differences outweigh the similarities. However, if it is past or today, the UAE will stay the UAE. It is represent the Civilization, Culture and History.

Making cups

If you want to drink coffee, you will drink it by a cup, and you get it from shops, but how cups are made? I will write the steps that show how they are made.

First, dry clay powder is placed in container. Then, water is added and mix them together. After that, excess water is removed from the container. Second, the mixture is shaped into flat shapes. After that, the mixture is pressed into cup moulds, and handles are added to the cups. Third, the mixture is dried in kiln. Then, rough edges smoothed off. After that, the cups are decorated. Fourth, imperfect cups are checked, and then imperfect cups are rejected. Fifth, the pack good cups are chosen, and they are dispatched to shops.

Those are the steps to make cups. They are very easy theoretically, but practical you need to experience, and how you get the experience. You can gain it by doing.

How is ice-cream made?

Everybody in this world loves ice-cream, and the severity of the love for ice-cream many families make ice-cream in their homes. Now I will write the steps how an ice-cream factory makes ice-cream.

First the ingredients are weighed out and mixed together. Then the mix is pasteurized. This means it is heated to a high temperature to kill off any harmful bacteria. The mix is also homogenized. This means breaking down the fat globules in the milk or cream to make them smaller. Now the ice-cream will be smoother, will whip better and won't melt as easily. The mix is then left for at least four hours, usually overnight, to let the fat cool and form into crystals. Any flavors, fruit purees, or colors are added at this point. The mix is then pumped through a special barrel freezer which freezes some of the water in the ice-cream and whips air into it at the same time. Up to half the volume of ice-cream is air. Without it, the ice-cream would be like a frozen ice cube. Any fruits, nuts, sweets or biscuit bits are added to the semi-frozen mixture at this point. The ice cream is then packaged and put into a blast freezer at -30° to -40°C where more of the water in the ice-cream is frozen to make it harder.

These are the steps how an ice-cream is made by an ice-cream factory. And if you want to make ice-cream, it will better to buy it from grocery.
