  Reflection 1

 

At the beginning of this course I was really afraid from the subject because I used to believe that English is difficult. After that, I realized that English is easy and interesting. In this course, I learned many different things about it, and now I'm really interested in it. In this course, I have learned many new things that improved my skills in English. First of all, I have improved a lot in reading and writing. I learned many new words that make reading and writing easier for me. Second, I learned how to summarize any article, to get the main idea, and to get the support point for the main idea. I noticed that summarizing is really important these days because we will be able to get any important information accurately without wasting our time. Actually, I'm able to understand any article without reading the whole thing. If I don't get the main points in the beginning, it will be difficult for me to understand the whole things. On the other hand, if I get the main points of the article, it will be easier for me to understand the article very well. Third, I have learned how to get the reference of the article and the steps of how to get them right. I also learned how to find the information from any article if I have the reference of it. The reference is really important. It helps us to find the all the information about any article.

Practice summray # 1

          There was many horsemen patrol who wanted to keep the peace in Al Awafi desert. The horsemen were looking for areas outside the urban areas like what they do in each of the emirates. Horse Patrols is not a new thing in the area because it was performed by the tribes themselves. There, horses and riders must learn not to get upset by anything especially people or loud sounds and learn how to control themselves. The typical horsemen are usually small and lightweight, and patrols on Arabian horses. Most of the horsemen are from India, however, the supervising colonel is from Emirates. He is trying to recruit some Emiratis, but he fails. The patrols don't work in the summer but he works in the winter and school breaks because a lot of people come to enjoy watching the desert. Also, the horsemen help the police in the area in order to stop the criminal. Some horse patrols have an important role at going where only horses can go. The riders should take care of their horses and protect them.
