How to change a tire
Many women in today’s society that drive alone are clueless about how to change a tire. It’s important to know how to change a tire, especially if there is no garage. And most of the tools you need are already in your car. These tools include a jack, a tire iron, a spare tire, and road flares.
The first step is to set up the road flares. Next, the wheel nuts must be loosened. This should be done before the car is raised, using the jack. After that the car is jacked up. Then the nuts are removed. Then the wheel is removed and the spare tire is put on. Next the nuts are tightened and the car is lowered. The nuts are tightened one last time for safety. Finally the tools are tidied away. You are now ready to drive on.
As you can see, changing a tire is a very easy, but you have to follow the above steps.

A journey from Brunei to Sarawak

Thirty years ago, Hedley, with his wife Mary and daughter Katie, visited the Niah caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They traveled by car, boat and ferry.
They set off from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and drove to the border with Sarawak. They crossed two large rives by ferry, stopped In Miri for lunch and then continued to Niah, a small river township. Thin they hired a small boat and sailed upriver to a government rest house, where they spent the night. They ate with the small group of scientists who lived in the rest house and shared the cold drinks they had brought with them in a cool box. It was a remote spot, deep in the jungle. They slept in bunk beds with no airconditioning. It was a novel experience.
The next morning, they walked along a jungle path for half an hour until they reached the Niah caves. Inside the caves, which were very high, they saw men who climbed up tall bamboo poles. The men wore lights on their hats because it was so dark. At the top of the poles they scraped off birds’ nests from the roof of the caves. The nests were collected by their mates on the cave floor and packed into sacks. These nests were later sold and made into bird’s nest soup, a Chinese delicacy.
That afternoon, they said goodbye to their new-found friends in the rest house and set off on the long drive home. It was quite an adventure and one they would never forget.

Last summer I traveled with my family to Bahrain. We visited many well-known places, including the city center, Corniche beach and Bahrain museum. Our first stop was the Bahrain museum, which contains cultural things special to people in Bahrain, for example hand clothing, housing and how to provide food and drink to their family. I was surprised to see how simple the tools of teaching were. We heard many traditional stories about a groom on his or her wedding and music for divers when they go for fishing trips. Also, I learned the history of the schools in Bahrain and how the citizens of different countries loved people of Bahrain.
After visiting Bahrain museum, we continued to the Corniche Beach. We relaxed near the beach. We began to do interesting activities in the evening, including taking a bath, playing football on the beach, holding some funny games in the water and taking some pictures. Especially, we had a delicious sea food dinner.
In the night, we went along the beach, listened to the sound of waves, felt the salted taste of sea (more romantic) and that feeling was so wonderful. Then we came back to the hotel and went to bed at night to go shopping in the city center and bought a lot of gifts for my friends.

Compare and contrast living in a small town or village with living in a big city

Compare and contrast living in a small town or village with living in a big city
Always a small town or village is quieter than the big city. There are big differences between a small town and big city. In this essay I will compare the differences and similarities between living in a small town and living in a big city.
First of all, there are similarities between living in a small town or village and living in a big city. These days there is no difference between the hospitals and schools in a small village or a big city. Also, in both you can find shops and all the requirements and necessities of living.
Secondly, there are more differences between living in a small town and living in a big city. In a small village everybody knows each other whereas in a big city few people know each other. Small villages are full of joy, passion and color. In a big city there are a lot of buildings, towers, malls and wide streets. But all these things are not seen in the small town. In a big city the roads are crowded and this causes the air to become unhealthy. But in the small town there is no traffic and the weather is healthy.
Finally, nowadays there is no big differences between living in the small town is better than living in a big city because it is cleaner and healthier.

The whole world is developing. There are some countries which have developed faster than the others. The UAE was one of these countries which showed a recognizable development in the last thirty years. In this essay I’m going to compare and contrast life in the UAE in the past and in the present.
There are many aspects which are similar between the two periods. The first similarity is that in both periods the same Arabic people are using the same language. In the past the number of educated people was lower than the present which is reaching 90% of the UAE citizens. The students are going to schools and colleges to study as opposed to the past where they used to go to the mosques, but in both situations people are/were willing to learn as much as they can/could.
Although there are many similarities between the two ages, there are some identifiable differences between them. One of the differences is that people used to live in extended families, whereas nowadays nuclear families are more common. People used to live in houses built with clay and stones, but nowadays they are living in high-rise buildings and villas.
As we can see, there are obvious similarities as well as differences between the past and the present. In my opinion, the present is much better than the past. I really hope that my country will keep developing, so my kids will get a better style of living.

How to use ATM

The ATM is a very important and easy machine to get money. In this essay I will describe how to use an ATM.
First of all, the ATM is a very important machine and you can find it everywhere. Now I will talk about the steps for using an ATM. First, insert your debit card and to be sure to look for a picture to see which way the card should be facing when you insert it. Second, choose a language; once the card has been inserted you will have the option to select Arabic or English. Thin, enter your Pin;  you will need to enter the personal identification number (pin), which is a four-digits number that protects against others using your card. Next, choose a transaction. At this point you are faced with a few choices. Since you want to take cash out we will choose withdraw. After that, choose an account; you may have more than one active account. In my example you will choose checking to remove funds from your checking account. After that, select an amount; after selecting the appropriate account your last steps is to choose how much cash you would like to take out.
Finally, collect items. All you need to do now is collect your receipt. We’re all done.
In my opinion the ATM is an easy machine. And it’s helping us everywhere, but make sure you don’t forget your card after you finish.
