Reflective Essay

125 English course was a great experiment for me at the same time is challenging. For me it helps improving my English during the term in many ways. Especially the blog which has gave me an overall idea of writing sharing with other students.



The best for me was most of it because I understood the method of each essay and what should I write. The ILC helped a lot as well as practicing exams that developed my writing. As they say mistakes will make you learn and do better next time.



The most challenging for me is that trying to score a better result next exam and for that it happened but not most. Of course practice more will improve my writing skills. I worked in my time to avoid writing mistakes and for it will raise my ambition.



In the conclusion, I see myself that results were not balanced. For that I need extra effort in writing which consider my weakness in English to be successful. What I want in the future is to score a great mark in the IELTS exam and graduate holding my bachelor.

Compare and Contrast: UAE vs BRAZIL



Foot ball, is the number one game and most popular sport worldwide. However, what you need a ball and two teams against each other but, to win one of the team should score more than the other. I am going to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between overall play of Brazil’s national football team with that of the UAE.


There are some distinct similarities between the two. The first similarity is that they both consider national team representing their countries. Therefore, each got a trophy by participating in variety world championship. Brazil include eleven professional players as same as the UAE national team. For that reason, the play style of them it will be found fairly and organized to the plan. Neither the both like to play in a defensive way because, they like to attack more.


Although there are a number of similarities there are several differences between them. The first difference is that Brazil won five times of the world cup unless of UAE. On the other hand, Brazil got more experience and history in football more than UAE. Another important difference is the players of Brazil are joined in major football clubs known worldwide, rather than UAE players they are in the local tournament.


We can see the both teams are similar in many ways but very different in others. I prefer to watch Brazil play because their style attracts me to enjoy a nice game. In case if both of them play a match of course I will support UAE.


Compare and Contrast: Abu Dhabi vs Dubai


Abu Dhabi and Dubai, both cities we are proud of in the UAE. The both of them considered as a main economical and tourism city, which attract people from all over the world. I am going to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between living in the both cities.

There are some distinct similarities between the two. The first similarity is that both provide a variety of choices of job opportunities. There are a number of companies and governmental offices that offer a well paid salary. Each city holds a huge malls and, entertainment facilities to who are living with it. For that the person who lives can experiment many different things. Both cities got a traffic issue where people are complaining from stacking in street for hours.

Although there are a number of similarities there are several differences between them. The first difference is that Abu Dhabi still sticks to its typical and traditional ways, where Dubai is more open. Another important difference is Abu Dhabi considered the capital of the UAE, for that the rent rate is more expensive than Dubai. Yet another difference is the size of Abu Dhabi is bigger than Dubai.

We can see that both cities are similar in many ways but few different in others. I prefer to live in Abu Dhabi because I am from the city itself since I grow up. The reason is all my family are in it and most of my friends.
