UAE & Brazil soccer




Comparisons
Model answer



Compare and contrast the overall play of Brazil’s national football team with that of the UAE. Say which of these teams you would rather watch and give reasons.

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.

In my opinion, Brazil team has more experience than the UAE team as they play with nice movement and good talent, but I feel more interested when the UAE team plays because sometimes they show new talents and they work hard to improve their team.

How to process the orange juice


Orange juice is rich in vitamin C and it is helpful for the health, so this essay is explaining how it is produced.

Firstly, the oranges are unloaded from the lorries. Second the oranges are graded, washed and sized. Then the juice is extracted from the oranges and the residue which is the peel of the orange, is given to the zoo for the animals as food. After that, the juice is evaporated by using the high temperature for a short amount of time. Next, it is concentrated. Then the juice is saved in the refrigerator boxes. Next step is the juice is canned and shipped then sent overseas. Water is added to the concentrated juice. Finally, the orange juice is filled in the bottle then sold to markets, to sell it to the customer.

As you can see, to produce a bottle of orange juice is difficult and it is a long procedure, but you have to follow the steps to get and drink nice orange juice.

Thief at the Emirates phone market


Last week, I was in Abu Dhabi mall with my family. We were at the Emirates phone shop market.

While we were choosing a phone for my brother there were two men standing in front of the cash counter. One of them was paying money to the cashier, then suddenly the other man stole the money, while the cashier was returning the change to the payer, but the thief fled from the shop. The security people tried to stop him but he hit them then skipped through the people. After that by an easy way the security people found him. The security men who were in the shop called their group who were in the mall, and gave them the description of the thief, then they found him by the camera while he was skipping from the fire exit door.

To sum up the story, I would to say nobody can steal or make any crime anywhere in the mall or out of the mall because, you could find every where the camera for more security.
