How olive oil is made
At the first, from September to December, the lives are harvested by hand or with sticks and rakes. They are collected on nets beneath the trees. After that, leaves and stones are removed before crushing because the olives washer to remove impurities. Then, within 24 to 36 hours of picking, the olives are crushed by granite millstones. The olive paste obtained is layered on mats which are put under pressure from a screw or hydraulic press. The liquid produced is collected and put through a centrifugal separator to separate the water and impurities from the oil. Finally, after centrifugation, the oil is obtained.

After that in paragraph three we discuss about differences also it’s must be four or three. Finally, in the last paragraph the conclusion, we chose which one is better than the other and our opinions about them. I write about Bahrain and the UAE in my essay have a look.

Reflection 1
The first writing we learned is procedure essays. There are two important things: the first one is use the imperative form like (i.e. do this, do that, don’t do this, etc. Also sometime we were given flow charts with the –ing form and we must change this. Second one use linking words,e.g. first, secondly, next, after that, then , finally. We divide this essay to three paragraphs: Introduction (20-30 words), main paragraph (90-100 words), and finally the conclusion (20-30 words). At the end we have 150-160 words. However, we practice in class before the progress test and do many procedures. Now we can write the procedure without mistakes.

Brunei & the UAE
The first similarity is both countrie's religion is Islam; they have mosques to pray and worship. Another similarity is that each country has hereditary monarchies. When the monarch dies his son takes the lead after him. Another similarity is both countries are producing oil and gas to the high level of economy. When the industry is improving the country will be wealthier which reduces dependence on imports from abroad. Another similarity is modern airports for both countries. Both countries have developed, which allows airports to accommodate a greater number of people and improves the speed of travel.
Although there are some similarities, also there are many differences. The first one is the location for both countries. The UAE is in the Middle East whereas Brunei is a tropical country in the Far East. The second difference is driving a car with different side of steering wheel. In the UAE they drive the car by left-hand unlike Brunei they drive by right-hand. The other difference is building. The houses in different ways. In Brunei build some houses high from the ground level to avoid animals but in the UAE they build in on normal place which is on the ground. Another one is mixed schools between girls and boys. In the UAE they separate the boys from girls, each in different schools; however in Brunei they study together in the same class also.
Both countries are fascinating places to live and to complement the study also. They have same religion so you can pray in a mosque and you feel comfortable. I prefer to live in a new place from time to time and know more about the country.

The UAE and Bahrain
I going to compare & contrast about the UAE and Bahrain. Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and for Bahrain the capital is Al Manama. These countries are located on the sea of the Arabian Gulf.
The first similarity is that both of them have the same traditions and same religion which is Islam. Both of them speak Arabic and share old history. The education is shared between Gulf countries. Even the laws are similar in Gulf countries.
However, there are many differences for each one. The area of Bahrain is smaller than the UAE and it take only a few hours of wandering around the country,whereas the UAE needs more time. The citizens in Bahrain are working in shops and markets rather than Asian people, but in the UAE it is hard to see citizens working in shops or markets.
Overall, the differences outweigh the similarities. However, in my opinion both countries are beautiful places to live. I prefer to live in the UAE because I have spent a lot of my life here with my family.
