First, I woke up in my room and smiled, because there were three chocolates on the table beside my bed. Then I went to the kitchen. My mother greeted me with a warm hug, and she served my favorite breakfast of fresh bread, tomatoes and cheese with her wonderful sweet coffee. After breakfast, I went to the university. My first class was Level 1 Integrated, and the teacher returned our Mid-term exams. I was surprised and delighted because my score was 95%. I received the best grade in the class! After my classes finished, my friends and I went to the cafeteria. We laughed and told lots of funny stories, and they paid for my coffee and cupcake. Next, I stopped at the writing centre, and a kind teacher showed me to how to edit a paragraph I wrote. My happy day continued at home. First, my father greeted me, but he didn’t look very friendly. Then, he told me to walk with him around the house to our back garden. Suddenly, I looked up. All my relatives were there and they shouted: “Surprise!” Finally, my father brought a beautiful white horse, and he said to me: “Happy birthday, my dear!

Two years ago something incredible happened to my brother Mohammed. Here is the story of his discovery.My family and I camped near a wadi for a few days. Every night we made a fire and slept outside. One afternoon Mohammed, who was seventeen years old, went to look for firewood. He walked far down the wadi and saw a big, dry branch behind some rocks. As he started pulling it, he noticed a box lying in a hole. It was an old chest with a big lock. The box was very heavy, but he took it and ran back to our camp. We were extremely excited, so my father used a crowbar to open the box. It was full of old coins! My uncle say they were very valuable Roman coins. My father phoned the museum, and later some people came to take the chest. A month later my brother received a lot of money, and he appeared on TV! My family and I still enjoy talking about that amazing day.Page 25I had / didn’t haveI went / didn’t goI went / didn’t goDrank/didn’t drinkPlayed / didn’t playWrote/ didn’t writeWatched / didn’t watchWalk/didn’t walkAte / didn’t eatBought / didn’t buyPage 26 Page 28 Emirati Wedding18470609226580Did you ever go to an Emirati wedding?
