 A popular sport

The main reason why people take up a sport is to enjoy them selves while others like to get fitter and stronger. Whatever sport you try, remember that you don’t have to be good at it to enjoy it, taking part is fun. Sports also give you lots of opportunities to meet people and make new friends.
One of the most popular sports you can take part in is table tennis, it is very well-known and a lot of people enjoy it. It’s an indoor game, and can be played by two or four players. Anyone can play it, men, women, or mixed.
Table tennis is an easy sport, it starts when one of the players hits a small light ball using a bat. The ball goes back and forth across a table divided by a low net, until a player makes a shot that an opponent is unable to return.
Try playing table tennis and you’ll like it!


Volleyball is an interesting team sport that was invented by William G.Morgan in America in 1895. It is played by twelve players (six players in each team).
It is played in a court which is 9 by 18m and divided into two sides by a net. It is based on hitting the ball back and forth over the net.
Volleyball is easy to play and a lot of people enjoy it. An estimated 800 million people play it throughout the world.

Dear XXX,
Hi, how are you? I hope you’re fine. I’m writing this letter to tell you about what happened to me last week. I won the number one prize in the lottery.
I’m very happy at the moment, because I won 1,000,000 dollars. I was told by my friend that my name was in the newspaper and that I’ve won the first prize. I couldn’t believe it at first. I still can’t believe it and I’m over the moon about it. I became rich!
I haven’t got a clue about what I’ll do with the money yet, but I have some plans to improve my life. First of all, I will give some of the money to my parents, and I’ll give some for charity. I will go on a spending spree in Seef Mall and I’ll buy a lot of clothes and records. I will also spend some of the money on my room. I’m going to have it painted in blue, and I will have my furniture changed. One more thing I want to do is to save some money for the future.
Anyway, I have to leave now, hoping to hear from you soon…

Unit 5
A series of misfortunes


 Writing about a series of misfortunes
Last week, I went with my cousins Ben, Paul and Angie on a picnic. We stopped our car near a beautiful farm. It looked great for picnic. We walked around the farm enjoying the views. My dog Snoopy was enjoying himself running here and there. We came across a field of golden wheat, it seemed ready for harvest. As we walked across it, we had our picnic of fruit, chicken nuggets and some cokes. As we continued to walk, we came across a gate. We opened it and ignored a sign to close the door behind us. The cows inside went outside their field and headed to the road. Snoopy saw some sheep and soon it was chasing them. They were running everywhere. In fact, one of the lambs fell in the river. Suddenly, we heard someone shouting. It was the farmer. We felt really frightened and ran to our car. We were just about to get into our car when we found out that we had a flat tire. We stopped. We didn’t know what to do. The farmer came to us. He was really angry about the damage we had made to the farm. It was the worst picnic we had ever had.

Dear Richard,
Hi, how are you? I hope you’re fine. I have been staying in bed for a few days because I broke my ankle last Wednesday. Let me tell you how it happened.
If I hadn’t watched the film and slept late, none of the things that I’m going to say would have happened. Last Wednesday, I got up late and unfortunately missed the school bus. Neither of my parents could help me that day. My dad was away on business and my mother goes to work early on Wednesdays. After thinking for a while, I decided to walk to school. While I was walking, a man stopped his car and offered to give me a lift up the hill. I accepted his offer because I was late. When we arrived to school, the man stopped his car where there was a huge hole in the pavement. I didn’t see the hole because I was turning round to thank him, so I caught my foot in the hole and fell. If I had been careful I wouldn’t have broken my ankle.
That’s all for now. I have to call my classmate to ask him about today’s homework. I have to stay in bed for one week.
Write to me soon.
Yours,
John.
Unit 6
Exploring The Past

 Writing about life in Bahrain in the past

Life in Bahrain is not as it used to be 50 years ago, everything was different.
The houses, for example were made of stones and woods and they used to be smaller. Women used to stay at home to do the housework with their daughters, while their sons used to help their fathers in their work out of the house. The men used to grow plants like fruit and vegetables, and they also used to dive and go fishing. The boys used to go to school, while the girls used to stay at home and learn the Holy Qura’an. The food was different, people used to dry fruit and fish. The cooking equipment used to be simple. People used to get water from wells and springs. They didn’t take medicines, they used herbs instead. The roads in Bahrain used to be narrow and there weren’t many cars. People used to walk or ride donkeys to move from a place to another. Well, that’s all about life in Bahrain 50 years ago.
I like modern life much more, because everything is easier now and people don’t have to make a lot of effort to do simple things. There are advantages and disadvantages about the past and the modern life, but I like my life now more than the past life… Well, that’s my opinion!

 Writing a letter about the Iron Age village

P.O Box XXX,
Manama, Bahrain

17/4/2002
Dear XXXX,
Hi, how are you? I didn’t hear from you for a long time. Let me tell you about my news.
My family and 10 other families are spending unusual three months. We are taking part in an experiment being carried out by some archeologist to understand more about life during the Iron Age (500 BC – 800 AD). We have left our town to live in a recreation of an Iron Age village.
Each one of us has responsibilities. My father spends most of his time chopping woods, he thinks it’s hard work but he enjoys it. My mother spends her time preparing food for everybody, but she can’t cook easily because she doesn’t know how to use the equipment and the lay oven available here. Sometimes she feels like giving up and going home. John is having a great time fetching the water in buckets, and helping my father chop woods. He stays it’s hard work, but he likes it. I’m having a very good time. I enjoy sitting round the fire at night when everybody tells each other stories. Although I’m having fun here, there are things I dislike about living in the village. I don’t like wearing the rough clothes and I also don’t like grinding wheat. I miss my normal like, I miss TV, ice-cream, chocolate and school.
Anyway there is no use complaining because we must get used to living here for a while. I must stop now.
Best wishes,
XXXX



Unit 9
Back To the Future

 Writing about the future

This morning I got up early and soon I was ready for school. While I was waiting for the school bus, I started to think what life would be like in the year 2500.
First of all, I thought of clothes. I think we will be wearing clothes that change according to the weather, they make us feel warm when it’s cold, and feel cool when the weather is hot. After that, I started to think of food. The food will have changed by then. We will be eating pills instead of fruit and vegetables, and we will eat canned food that can be prepared quickly. Another thing I thought about was studying. We won’t be going to schools, because by then school will have been cancelled. Students will be studying through the internet. People will have been studying for 2 years by that time to get any collage degree. I also thought about other things that might change in my life. I will be moving from a place to another by cars that move by the solar system. They won’t need petrol so there will be less pollution. I will also be able to travel to different planets by spaceships, or I might be able to take a ride to the moon! In my free time I will shopping through the internet and listening to music. I will also be playing some interesting video games. I will be visiting my friends all the time, and using tiny mobile phones to contact them. I will also be seeing them by satellite.
I think that life in the future will be easier and everything will be done quickly. I wish I could live in the year 2500. It will be an interesting life.





Unit 10
Bogeymen

 Writing about a dream (#1)

I usually don’t remember my dreams, but last night I had the most frightening dream of my life. Let me tell you about it.
I dreamt that I was walking in a very dark street, somewhere like a forest or a jungle where all I could hear were strange noises of strange animals. I ran around to find someone to help but all I saw was my shadow stretching in front of me. I felt so scared and didn’t know what to do, so I started running not knowing where to go. I knew that something was running behind me and I guessed it was an enormous creature because I could hear its footsteps. I ran faster but unfortunately there was a big lake in front of me. I had no choice except to jump in it, and that was exactly what I did.
Suddenly, I woke up sweating and out of breath as if I was running all night! I felt very happy when I knew it was just a dream.


Unit 10
Bogeyman

 Writing about a dream (#2)

Last night I had a very strange and funny dream. Let me tell you about it.
I dreamt that I was in the car with my brother, we were going out for dinner. I closed the car’s door on my skirt by mistake. When I realized that, I decided to open the door to pull my skirt into the car. I was silly enough to think that I could open the car’s door while my brother was still driving!
The car was so fast and as soon as I opened the door, I fell out of the car! I was lying right in the middle of the road screaming loudly because I was so scared. My brother was so frightened and he got out of the car quickly to check if I was alright. I couldn’t move because half of my body was under the car! I was in so much pain. A lot of people got out of their cars and stood next to our car to see what happened. They called the ambulance and soon I was taken to the hospital.
Suddenly, I woke up screaming and laughing at the same time. I was very happy when I knew it was just a dream.



Unit 11
For Better or Worse

 Writing about marriage

Marriage is a sacred engagement between a man and a woman. By marriage, a person can build up his own family, as everyone in this life like to have. Thus, marriage ceremonies have differed nowadays from what it used to be like in the past.
In the past, girls used to get married at early age, and without seeing the person she’s getting married to. People used to celebrate their marriage ceremonies in tents, houses, or on the roof of the house. Celebration of the marriage used to last seven days, in which the bride used to wear different dresses every day with the two colours red and green. One night was called “Henna night”. All the brides and bridegroom’s families and friends design their hands with wonderful designs. The bridegroom used to pay all the expenses of the ceremony. In the morning of the wedding day, they used to sacrifice sheep to bless the wedding.
Nowadays, wedding is slightly different from what it used to be. First of all, the bride chooses the man she wants to be engaged with. Girls must see their future husband before getting married, and sometimes they have loved each other before marriage. Wedding ceremonies usually last for two days. One is for “Henna” as in the past, and the other night is the wedding ceremony, where it usually takes place in hotels, clubs, houses or even modern tents. Nowadays celebrating wedding ceremonies costs a lot. The couple usually travels to spend their honeymoon.
Personally, I prefer celebrating my marriage as they used to do it in the past because I like to keep on our traditional customs and habits.

Woman driver

At last, we see more women drive a car. But some people hate that, and the other like that to get over problems. So, we can say woman driver has advantages and disadvantages.

On the first hand, woman driver has more advantages. First of all, it is easiest for the woman to go to work or any place. It will be faster and in a short time and by herself, with her laissez faire. More over, she will be not forced to ask her family many times if she wants to go any place. When she in not forced to tell her father or brother to convey her because they may be can't do that. What is more, driving is to increase the knowledge and information about the ways and places. The woman will know all places if she drove her car and went to more places. Finally,

On the other hand, woman driver has some disadvantages. To begin with, it needs more concentration and attention. Woman will be careful in driving to not making any accident. Furthermore, the woman needs to buy a personal car for her. That required taking a loan from bank; it will be a problem for her if she hasn't work. Also it will be problem if she hasn't a budget for the petrol. That's because the car needs money for the petrol. Moreover, she needs more bravery. Most of women their natural is mostly merciful so they will afraid when they made accidents. In addition, the woman can't to stand driving for along time. Woman will have a headache and will be tired when she drives for long ways. Last but not least, woman can't change the tire. When the tire isn't fine in the road, the woman doesn’t know how to change it so she will need a help.

As we saw woman some times has problems with driving my by she couldn't do any thing. So, every woman must think very well before driving

for & against

In the last few years every house has a housemaid. While some mothers think that having housemaids has a lot of advantages, some others think that it has many disadvantages.

To begin with, having a housemaid helps us with the housework, like: cleaning, cooking…etc. In addition, mothers can go to work and leave their children with housemaids. Moreover when mothers go to work and leave their children with the housemaids, they can learn to be responsible and do what they want themselves.

On the other hand, having a housemaid has a lot of disadvantages too. To begin with, housemaids teach the children their language and traditions. Furthermore, they make us lazy because we don’t do any of the housework. Also, some children will love housemaids more than their mothers.

I think that children shouldn’t be kept with housemaids. I think also that if mothers really need housemaids they should always observe them and never let them take their role with their children.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about a casual dress that I bought from your store last week. I checked it and there was not any problem. Then I took it to the cashier who was smoking. When he saw me he tried to hide the cigarette.

When my party started I tried the dress before two hours, and I found that my dress was burned. And as you know that the dress is very expensive, and I bought it from you because your store has a good background.

I’m returning the casual dews with this letter and I hope to receive B.D 150 with an apology.

I look forward to hearing from you and receiving my money.

Yours faithfully,

festivals & ceremonies

The most wonderful festivals in Bahrain are Eid – Al – Adha. All muslims and bahrainies celebrate on the tenth of tho Al Hija this eid. We celebrate because prophet Ibrahim scarified his son Ismail for God, but God provided sheep to substitute his son.

Preparations begin a week beforehand. The children made the “heya beya” which refers to a plant grown in a basket. Families go to buy traditional clothes and perfumes.

In the morning of Eid – Al – Adha men go to the mosques to pray “salat Eid – Al – Adha”. Also sheep is killed and give the meat to the poor people.
Then children go to neighbors to take “Eedeyya” which means an amount of money. Students and working people have 3 days as a holiday. In the afternoon everybody visit their families and cook traditional food like Bariani and machboos.
Finally children with their family go to the sea and throw the “heya beya” with a wish to reach the holy city “Meca”.

Everybody and especially every muslim likes this festival and always hopes to celebrate it every year in a more peaceful world.

frightening story

A few years ago, something happened and made me really scared.
We were in the plane come from Jordan. I was looking at the window and thinking about my sisters and my brothers, I really missed them.

When we were above the K.A.S, the sky became darker. Suddenly the plane was moving to the right and left without stopping. I was sitting between my parents, holding their hands, and reading the holy Quraan. After that the captain told us on the microphone that there wasn’t any problem. He was trying to make us quiet. All the passengers and I were really frightened because the lights were turned off. After a few minutes the captain told us that we would have an emergency landing at Kuwait airport. Then in Kuwait, the plane was fixed.

Finally we traveled to Bahrain, and everybody was happy. I thanked God that nothing happened to us.
