How to book a holiday

Going on holiday can, surprisingly, be quite stressful, so it’s important to get everything right when you book.

First of all, choose a date of departure and return. Then select a destination and a place to stay. If you are going abroad, make sure you book flights which are convenient. Nowadays you can book flights and hotels online. When you have done this, make sure your passport is in order. Check to see if you need visas or other documents. After that, get information about the climate, so that you can choose suitable clothing for your trip. Also don't forget to take some local currency with you and that you know how to get extra money while you are away. Finally, it’s a good idea to read about the culture and traditions of whichever country you are visiting; if necessary, make a list of dos and don’ts.

Remembering everything is not easy but if you follow these basic steps you have done as much as you can to arrange a super holiday.

Compare and Contrast between Village and City

Well, there is no doubt that life in a village so beautiful and very interesting indeed, but at the same time we find that there are people who people who is  prefer to live in metropolitan cities. So I will compare villages and cities.

There are several similarities between a village and a city. Both villages and cities have clinics to cure people who get sick. People who live in a city and a village have customs and traditions. In addition people who live in the city and village have supermarkets because they can buy fruit and canned foods to cook in the house. Both villages and cities have a water supply and electricity

There are several differences between a village and a city. In the city, they have a lot of buildings and markets. However, in the village they have little houses and small markets. People who live in the village have farms but, in the city, they don’t have farms. People who live in the village are uses donkeys to carry baggage and people but, in the city, people use cars to carry their luggage and travel to their job.  


In my opinion I prefer to live in the village because it is quiet and peaceful. Also they don’t have environmental contamination, as they do in cities



How to make butter

This flowchart shows the procedure for making butter by hand. Let me describe the procedure step by step.

First, check the fresh milk for quantity and fat content. Because some of them like low fat content and some of them high fat content. Also you must check the quantity of milk. Second, leave the milk to cool. Third, separate and churn the cream. After that, drain the butter milk from the butter and place in a jar. Next wash the butter with cold water and remove remaining butter milk. After that, add a small amount of salt for flavor. Then cut and wrap the butter piece by piece. Finally, store the butter in a fridge.

This is how to make butter by hand. It is a long procedure and you have to follow the steps carefully.

Compare and contrast in the UAE


I will compare and contrast the UAE today with the UAE 40 years ago. I will write some differences and similarities between the UAE now and 40 years ago.

40 years ago, the UAE people lived in small towns and it was a simple life because, they ate fresh fish and milk and they travelled by boat to trade. There are similarities between the past and now. We are still wearing the same clothes and follow our religion Islam. We are also following our heritage from grandfather to son. People use camels for traveling and for camel racing from the past until now.

There are, however, many differences from 40 years ago. First, today people eat in restaurants more than they eat in the home. The population has increased every day. We have an oil industry, hospitals, schools, buildings and all kinds of food. In addition, today people like sports such as football, volleyball and swimming.

All in all, the UAE has changed a lot of things. Indeed the differences are greater than the similarities.
