1. The importance of inventions

Inventions are very important because they make our life easier
and better. I think scientists will invent new headphones, which can
translate any languages into your language. I also think they will
invent a new machine that can push you into the air at the speed of
a fast car. It's half-motorbike and half-helicopter. They will probably
invent a new jacket. It uses an app to make you warmer when the
weather is cold. There will be new roads that can change roads into
solar panels. These roads use strong glass that you can drive on
and make electricity at the same time.

Online shopping
Some people think shopping online is great. They think it saves
time because they don't spend much time travelling to the shops.
They can stay at home and buy anything they want in a few minutes.
They think that they have many choices online. In their view,
shopping online will make fewer cars on the streets, so there will be
less pollution. On the other hand, some people don't like shopping
online. They say they always have a wrong delivery when they shop
online. They don't like to waste time waiting for a delivery. They
prefer to try things and see materials before buying them.

Types of technology
Technology has changed our life. It became important in daily
life. We use many types of technology daily. We can't do without it.
Smartphones, internet, robots and drones are examples of
technology. They help us to live easier and better life. The internet
gives us a lot of information about anything. Smart phones help us
to communicate with people and also have apps to help you know
more information about something specific like weather, time, ... etc.
But technology also has dangers, We have to be careful when we
use technology.

Subject : How technology is useful
Dear Ali,
How are you doing? I'm happy to send this email to you. I want
to tell you about technology and how it is useful for us. Modern
technology is amazing, isn't it? We have studied about many
modern inventions like new headphones that can translate from any
language into your language. There's also a clever jacket which
uses an app to make you warmer when the weather is cold. Another
invention is half-motorbike and half helicopter, it can push you into
the air at the speed of a fast car. Write to me about your favourite
invention.

The dangers of technology & Problems with technology

Technology has made our life easier and better. Although it's
hard to live without modern technology, it can be bad for your
health. Many people text, check social media or watch videos online
late into the night. Then they don’t get enough sleep. If you spend a
lot of time on screens, you can have eye problems and headaches.
Listening to loud music or films through headphones can damage
your hearing. Many people spend hours playing video games or
watching TV. They don’t spend enough time outside doing exercise.
If you don't become addicted to technology, you will be fine.

How to be safe online

Although internet is very useful for us, it has also dangers.
Using the internet can be good and bad at the same time. So we
should be careful when we use the internet. When you are online,
you should remember these rules. Keep your password secret. Don't
make friends with people you don't know online. Don't tell people
your personal information. Don't spend a lot of time online. You will
waste your time and you will damage your eyes if you spend too
much time looking at screens. You should be careful as using
technology too much time will make you addicted to the internet.

Mobile phones
Mobile phones are one of the most important inventions. They
have made contacting people easy on the internet. Taking photos
and using the social networking sites may be the most important
uses of the mobile. It helps people to call the police and firefighters.
On the other hand, modern mobiles are expensive to buy. The cost
of calls is high. Their batteries do not last for long hours. People
spend many hours writing their blog posts and chatting. Mobiles
have also made people lazy as they do most of their work on
mobiles. Finally, mobiles must be used in a good way.

Your favourite snack

Your favourite recipe & food
We like to eat snacks. They are delicious and light. I love
hawawshi. It is my favourite snack. I often have it when I get home
from school. It is easy to make. First, you need some nice bread.
Then you put some meat and vegetables inside the bread. You can
put some salt on it, too. I don’t like to have any salt because it is not
very healthy. Now you cook it in the oven. It is delicious! My mother
makes nice hawawshi for me when she has more free time.
Hawawshi is healthier when mum makes it at home. Do you have
any favourite snacks?

Fast Food
Fast food is food that is quick and easy to buy or cook.
Although it is very tasty, it is not healthy. It has much fat and sugar
in it. So it is not a good idea to eat fast food. You should have
healthy snacks between the meals when you feel hungry. Healthy
food gives you energy and makes you strong. Fruits and vegetables
are healthy snacks, so you can eat a lot of them. Nuts also are very
good for your body. You can have nuts as a snack if you don't have
an allergy. To conclude, you should think before you eat anything if
it is good or bad for your body.

Healthy food & Healthy diet

If you want to be healthy, you should be careful about what you
eat. Not all kinds of foods are healthy. Fast food isn't healthy food as
it has a lot of sugar, fat and salt. Fruits and vegetables are very
healthy food. They have a lot of vitamins and natural sugar which
are good for your body. Dairy products like milk and cheese are very
useful. They help us to have strong bones. Meat and nuts have
protein in them, so we need them to have a strong body. To
conclude, we should have healthy diet to live longer and healthier.

Your favourite recipe & How to make omelette

From : [email protected]
To : [email protected]
Subject : My favourite recipe & How to make omelette
Dear Sami,
How are you and your family? I write you this email to tell you
about a new dish. My mother always teaches me how to make
different kinds of food. I've learnt to cook omelette. It is a delicious
dish. Its ingredients are eggs, milk and salt. It's an easy recipe to
make omelette. First, beat two eggs in a bowl with little milk.
Second, add a little salt to the eggs and milk, but don't add too much
salt. Much salt isn't good for you. Then, heat some butter in a frying
pan. After that, pour the eggs into the frying pan and cook them in
the butter. Finally, when the omelette is ready, take it out of the
frying pan and serve it with salad.

The importance of sports & Sports are good for health

Doing sports is very important for everyone. It helps us to do
well in our study. It also makes our bodies strong and active. There
are many kinds of sports. Many people prefer football. Others prefer
some difficult and dangerous sports such as boxing. Doing sports is
very good for your health. So, I advise everyone to practise a sport.
You can play sports at your school. You can also go to a club. I'm
really tall, so I like playing basketball with my friends.

Art museums
There are many art museums in Egypt. One of them is the
Museum of Modern Egyptian Art. It's in Cairo. It's part of the Cairo
Opera House. There are art works by Egyptian artists from the 20th
and 21st centuries. The artists' works are really good because they
showed what life was like in Egypt in the past and now. There are
portraits of important and normal Egyptian people in the museum.
There are also a lot of sculptures, both big and small. The museum
is free, so you don't have to pay anything to visit it.

A review of a museum & The Textile Museum

There are new and ancient museums in Egypt, but I prefer the
ancient ones. I visited the Textile Museum in Cairo. I liked it very
much. You can see many arts there. The museum has lots of clothes
from different times in history. I thought the clothes from Ancient
Egypt were fantastic. You can know a lot of information about life in
the past from the statues there. My favourite thing was the Islamic
area where you can see different kinds of calligraphy. If you want to
take photos, it is a good idea to take a good camera, because the
museum is quite dark.

A visit to the Egyptian Museum

Subject : A visit to the Egyptian Museum
Dear Soha,
How are you? I hope you are fine. I write this email to tell you
about my visit to the Egyptian Museum. The Egyptian Museum is
one of the most amazing places in Cairo. It's the oldest museum in
Cairo. I went to the Egyptian Museum last Sunday on a school trip.
We went very early because the museum isn't much crowded in the
early mornings. I saw many statues and portraits. They were
amazing. There were ancient things made of different materials. I
recommend the Egyptian Museum. It's an amazing place to visit.
Yours,
Khalid

Al Nour Wal Amal Chamber Orchestra

The Al Nour Wal Amal Chamber Orchestra is an amazing
orchestra. It's in a special school for blind girls in Cairo. This school
is a music school. All the students study their normal subjects in the
morning and then practise their instruments in the afternoon. Many
of the students at this school join the orchestra. The orchestra plays
concerts in Australia, Germany and China and all around the world.
The orchestra plays international, classical music. They read with
their hands using Braille. They have to remember the music because
they can't read and play at the same time.

How to help the disabled

Disabled means someone who isn't able to use a part or parts
of the body in the way other people can. Disabled people are not
different, but they need more help. For example, the blind need
special schools to learn how to use Braille. They can read and write,
draw and even play music. They also need help in public transport.
Deaf people also need help to be able to communicate well. To
conclude, the disabled are heroes. They can do amazing things, but
they need more help to live a normal life.

A person you are proud of

Of all my family, my mother is the person I am proud of most.
She is in her forties. Her friends respect and admire her at work. My
mother has never left her work at home. Furthermore, she is a very
good cook. She often spends her free time cooking delicious dishes
for us, which makes everyone in my family happy. She is an
excellent adviser, too. She often gives me suggestions and a lot of
advice to help me with my difficulties. She is not only my mother,
but she is also my good example to follow. For all these reasons I
always love and take pride in my mother.

A review of your favourite film

I like watching films. My favourite kind of films is adventure
films. They are very exciting. "Jurassic World" is one of adventure
films. It was made in 2015. It is about a theme park where scientists
have helped dinosaurs to live again! Then some of the dinosaurs
escaped. I thought the action was exciting and my favourite thing
was the scary dinosaurs. They look very real. But, in my opinion the
story isn't very interesting or new. I recommend this film if you like
exciting and scary films, but not if you want a good story

An Egyptian musician & A famous person

Ammar El Sherei was a famous Egyptian musician. He was born
blind on 16 April 1948 in Minya. His family moved to Cairo when he
was five years old. He studied English and Literature at the Faculty
of Arts, Ain Shams University. He graduated in 1970. He continued
his studies in the US and in Britain. He performed in a famous band
in Egypt. He played the piano, harp, keyboard and oud. Sherei
arranged and wrote music for movies and television series. He wrote
music for most of Arab music stars. He was also an assistant
professor at the Academy of Arts. He married at the age of 43. He
died at the age of 64 on 7 December 2012.

Clothes in Ancient Egypt

In Ancient Egypt, men and women wore similar clothes. They
both wore loose, white, linen clothes with a belt. Ancient Egyptians
did not wear shoes most of the time, but rich people sometimes
wore expensive leather sandals. Children did not usually wear many
clothes until they were about six years old. Then they started to
wear the same clothes as their parents. Although Ancient Egyptians'
clothes were simple, they loved to wear heavy, metal jewellery. Rich
people wore beautiful gold necklaces. Other people wore also
jewellery, but cheaper ones.

The clothes my family wear

There are different kinds of clothes with different colours and
styles. Everyone has their own style. Some people like light colours
and others like dark colours. My grandparents like wearing
traditional clothes with dark colours. They wear loose clothes. My
father likes to wear a shirt with a beautiful tie. He is very smart. My
mother doesn't like short clothes at all. She always wears a
headscarf. My brother, sister and I like to wear casual clothes. They
should be modern and fashionable. I like to wear T-shirts on Jeans.
They should be colorful and smart.

Your favourite clothes

There are many types of clothes with different colours and
styles. Everyone has their own style. Some people like light colours
and others like dark colours. Clothes are different in every city, town
and country. I like to wear clothes that are loose and made of cotton.
I like to feel comfortable and relaxed in my clothes. I like my black,
plastic sunglasses. They are very fashionable. I prefer to wear
trainers most of the time. They are very comfortable and look nice.
When I visit my grandpa, I like to wear traditional clothes. I like what
he wears. He lives in a village in Assuit.

Egyptian linen and cotton & An industry in Egypt

From : [email protected]
To : [email protected]
Subject : Egyptian linen and cotton
Dear Anas,
I send this email to tell you about Egyptian linen and cotton.
Egypt is famous for growing crops to make material. The Ancient
Egyptians grew plants by the Nile to make linen. They used it to
make clothes. Today, Egyptian cotton is famous all over the world
because it is very good. The climate and soil in Egypt are perfect for
growing cotton. It is often used to make luxury clothes and things
for homes. There are a lot of people working in the cotton industry.
They still use water from the Nile for the crops. Cotton uses a lot of
water and chemicals to grow. However, the government is trying to
help farmers to protect the environment and use less water.
Yours, Jack

A special occasion
Sham El-Nessim is a special occasion. It is my favourite time of
the year. It's a mark of good weather. We enjoy it at the start of
spring. Spring is celebrated in different ways all over the world.
Special meals are served on this day. Today, most Egyptians have a
picnic in a park or next to the Nile with their families. The Ancient
Egyptians used to offer salted fish, onions and eggs. Last year we
went to Alexandria on Sham El-Nessim. We visited our relatives and
went to the beach. We rode our bikes and played games. Everyone
was happy.

Something you bought from a clothes shop

One day I stopped outside a clothes shop in Cairo. I looked at
the window. I saw a luxury shirt. It was exactly what I was looking
for. I decided to try one on before I bought it. I asked how much it
cost. It cost 200 pounds. Because the price was good, I decided to
buy one. I bought a blue one. It is large. It is made of Egyptian
cotton. I like this shirt because it is the latest fashion and it is pretty.
It is better than the last one I bought four months ago. It is also
comfortable. I wear it on special occasions. I always care about how
I look.

A description of a room in your house

I made some changes to my bedroom. It looks beautiful. My
new bed is under the window. My bedroom has a big window with
curtains. When I open the curtains, the room is very bright with
sunlight. I have a wardrobe in front of the bed. There is a mirror next
to the wardrobe. There’s also a lamp next to the bed. I also have a
nice desk to study on. It has three drawers. My bedroom includes a
small bathroom with a nice basin to wash. In the evenings, I like to
read in bed or watch TV. Sometimes I sleep with the curtains open.

Helping the environment

Our natural environment gives us everything that we need. We
get air, water, food, and many other things from the environment.
We can save the environment by making sure that we take care of
the nature. We should save water. Water is very important in our
environment, so we should never pollute water. We can recycle
many things instead of throwing them away. Trees are good for the
environment and help reduce air pollution. We should plant more
trees. This will help to improve the size of natural places for animals.
We should teach our children to look after the environment.

Environmental problems we are going to solve

There are some problems that damage life on our planet. The
main problems are pollution and global warming which cause
climate change. Our daily activities help damage the environment.
We can use technology to solve some of these problems. For
example, when we use electric cars, air pollution will be reduced
because these cars don't pollute the environment. Water pollution is
also a serious problem. In the future, we may use a system that can
filter water to be clean and to kill bacteria in water. Furthermore, we
will recycle most of our rubbish that damages the environment.

Water pollution
Water is the most important thing to live so that we must save
water. Unfortunately, some people don't care about water. They
throw out their rubbish in water. As a result the water becomes
polluted in many places. Polluted water causes many diseases to
us. But how we can save water from pollution. Some students have
invented a system to take the rubbish from the water and others
invented a green system to sun's light to kill bacteria in water. These
amazing inventions should be used all over the world. They're cheap
and useful. I hope we can stop water pollution.

Plans for next holiday & A school trip

We are going to go on a school trip. We are going to Ras
Mohammed. We are going to meet at the school gates tomorrow
morning. The bus is going to leave from the school at 6.30 am. It is
returning in five days’ time at 12.30 pm on Thursday. We make sure
that we have suitable clothes for the swimming and diving trips to
the coral reefs on Monday and Tuesday. We will also need good
trainers and sunhats for the visit to the mangrove forest on
Wednesday. We will take part in the conservation project in the
mangrove forest. We will help to plant new trees.

Activities you like doing

I love nature very much. In my free time, I like to go to the park.
I enjoy walking and watching trees, birds, clouds and animals. I
enjoy seeing and smelling flowers. l also like taking pictures for
nature. That's my favourite activity in my free time. Nature is full of
amazing scenes. I feel very happy when I am at the park. In Cairo,
there are many beautiful parks. Al-Azhar Park is one of the biggest
parks in Egypt. It's a very beautiful place to spend time in. I
recommend visiting it. It's really wonderful. You can do many
activities there.

Drones
Drones are examples of modern technology. They can fly but
they don't need a person to fly them. We can use remote control.
This means we can control drones from the ground. In the future,
they are going to help solve some environmental problems. They
don't make much noise and they don't cause as much air pollution
as other forms of transport like cars, trains and lorries. We can use
drones to help the wildlife after floods or fires. Drones can fly over
places where we can't go to. We can think of more things we can
use drones for.

Sorts of learners & Learning styles

What sort of learner are you
There are four types of learners. Firstly, who learn best by
reading and writing. They love words and learn best by reading
about something and taking notes. It's my style. Secondly, who
learn best by doing things. They learn things best by trying to do
them and sometimes find it hard to understand by listening or
reading. Thirdly, who learn best by seeing things. They love to
watch videos and look at diagrams. They learn things better if they
can see them. Finally, who learn by listening. They love music and
are often talking. They find it easier to learn by listening to people
explain things to others and by discussing things with them.

The importance of learning many languages

Learning other languages is very important. It is a form of
communicating with other nations because we never understand the
other countries without knowing their languages. There are many
reasons why learning a new language is a good idea. It helps you to
communicate with new people. It helps you to see things from a
different view, or understand other cultures. It helps you to become
a better listener. It helps you to understand both your home and the
world better. It also gives people different identities. It connects you
to an international community.

How to learn a new language

It's very important to learn a new language, but learning a new
language is not easy. You must learn and then have a lot of practice.
Good language learners practise the language they learn every day
inside and outside school. They read, write, speak and listen to it.
They find people to speak to, watch programs in English language.
They can practise it by chatting with people from other countries on
the internet. When they don't understand a word, they try to know its
meaning by looking it up in a dictionary. It's very important to listen
to the correct sound of a word and repeat it aloud.

The importance of learning English

Learning a foreign language is not easy. Some people don't like
learning a foreign language for this reason. Lots of people all over
the world are learning English for different reasons. It is the most
widely spoken language in the world. A tour guide needs to use
English when he speaks to tourists from different countries in the
world. Businessmen need to use English because they travel to
many countries. People who work with computers need to know
English because they do a lot of work on the internet which is like a
bank of information. Students also need to learn English.

How to learn English vocabulary

We are all different. So everyone has his plan to study and a
way that he can use to learn best. We can make flash cards of words
that we need to remember. For example, we can also write the words
in context. So you can see how it works with other words. We can
watch English language on TV programmes or films and listen for
unknown words. We can read stories if we like reading. That's the
best way to learn new words. Learning with others is more fun. So
you can work with a friend and try to discuss and test each other. I
learn best by reading and writing.

Forms of communication
Now, there are more forms of communication than in the past.
Technology gave us different and new forms of communication. We
all now have phones and we use them to make phone calls and text
messages. More than this, some of people have smartphones which
make them able to communicate with people in far places easily and
for free. Smartphones have apps that can help you to calf, text and

even see anybody. In the future, maybe we will have phones that can
read our facial expressions before they send messages.

A review of a book
Robinson Crusoe is an adventure story by Daniel Defoe.
Robinson Crusoe was a sailor. His ship sank because there was a
bad storm. Crusoe swam to a nearby island. He walked along the
beach, but he saw nobody and he thought that he was alone. He
found a fish and ate it. He looked for a cave to sleep in. He found a
coconut on the beach. It was delicious. He wrote his diary of what
happened to him. I enjoy reading it.

Your hobby & Reading

Reading is my favourite hobby. It's very useful and interesting.
It gives us a lot of information. It feeds our minds. It makes us
happy. Reading increases our knowledge. A good book is a good
friend. I like reading very much. I practise it in my free time. I also
practise it at school. My parents help me a lot. It helps us to know
more information about the world. We go to the library to borrow
useful books. We also download books from websites and read
them on the laptop. I advise all people to read every day.

Using computer games in the classroom

From my point of view, not all computer games are bad. If you don't
play computer games all the time, it shouldn't be a problem. If you
only play games that teach you things, it should be fine.

Playing video games is my hobby and I am very good at them! I love

playing games with my friends.

In my opinion, playing games late at night stops you sleeping.

It's not a good idea to play games late at night though.
