 "A review on Ismailia"
Egypt has a lot of interesting places in all of its parts. Ismailia is one of Egypt's beautiful
governorates. Although Ismailia does not have many historical sites, it has a lot of green
areas. A lot of families go to Ismailia to spend their holidays.
There are attractive buildings, interesting monuments, and lots of gardens. The best thing
about Ismailia is its calmness. The city has little pollution, no factories, and a little traffic.
There are lots of things you can do in Ismailia: you can sit on beaches, go swimming, and
enjoy some water sports.To conclude, I advise all people to visit Ismailia.
 "A review about types of transport I use"
There are many different forms of transport. In Egypt, people use cars, trains, metro lines,
ferries, and buses. Most people prefer to travel on the metro because it is fast, cheap, and
comfortable. People enjoy traveling from a city to another by trains. Some people go to
work using public transport as buses. Other people use their private cars. To cross the Nile,
people use ferries.
 "A short story about a visit to an exhibition"
Last week, I went to an exhibition. It was about exploring space. I went with my friends.
We went by metro. There were a lot of shows and films about space. We saw how the
Earth and other planets move. We knew a lot of useful information about the sun. We also
knew how astronauts go into space. They do many important trials to know much about the
moon.
 "A review on your city"
I live in Alexandria. It is one of Egypt's largest cities. It is a very historical city with lots of
famous buildings, ruins, and monuments. It was the capital of Egypt. Alexandria is also a
modern city.It is a great place to live. There are lots of interesting shops and markets. It is
located in the north of Egypt. It is famous for the Lighthouse of Alexandria and the Library
of Alexandria.

 "A review on handicrafts you buy in your area"

The leather industry is one of the oldest handicrafts in Egypt and our bags are the best
quality. The leather is very soft. In Egypt, they sell different types of pots in different
colors. The artists paint the pots with traditional Arabic designs. Egypt has a long history
of making beautiful carpets.People who live in the south of Egypt sell carpets, baskets, and
colorful pots. Some women in a village near Aswan make beautiful handicrafts from the
leaves of trees. These handicrafts are very popular with tourists and help the Egyptians to
earn money.

 "A review on something I bought online"

Online shopping has become more and more popular nowadays. Many people prefer it

9
 because it is easier and quicker than traditional shopping. As I am interested in music, I
decided to buy a piano! A friend of mine told me that there is a very good online website
for a music shop. When I saw their goods and the musical instruments they displayed, I
was astonished by some pianos they offered, so I ordered one. In fact, the piano arrived one
day after the order. But when I opened it, I found out it was broken! Of course, I was angry
and I made a complaint. I learned that online shopping has advantages and disadvantages!
 "A review on the best and worst items of technology in my house"
Of course, technology has changed our life, and it is a must to use it in modern life. Smart
TV sets, mobile phones, and laptop computers are almost in all of our homes. These
technological devices have made our life easier and more enjoyable. On one hand, they tell
us about what happens in our world, make us watch football matches all over the world,
and follow our likes by an easy and quick way. On the other hand, they have made us lazy,
feel bored most of the time, and somehow away from our real life! People look at those
screens more than they look at themselves!

 "A review on what I can do to help people in my community"

I think our community is a part of our life and it is a must to cooperate for it and for
solving the problems it suffers from. At my school, there are some students who have
disabilities at different parts of their bodies. Some can’t move, while others can’t see well.
I had an idea for helping them. I went to the school headmaster and suggested a way to
help them and their parents to come to school. I suggested all students in all classes at
school should donate money for building a special area for them and making special roads
without stairs for them. The headmaster welcomed my idea and thanked me and promised
that he will work for it.
 "A review on a community project"
We all love our community and want to help improve it. I and some of my friends decided
to meet to discuss how to do a project to help our community. At our meeting, we decided
to start a local charity, where people can donate food to families who need it. We got some
ideas from a network for our project. Everyone in our community who can offer food
should help us in this project. We can design pages on the internet. Social work is a great
thing that deserves to start working on it. We need volunteers to help us plan and complete
this project.
 "A review on the Decent Life Initiative"
The Decent Life Initiative aims to improve the quality of people’s life in rural areas. The
initiative wants to provide good public services, health care, better education, and better
job opportunities. The initiative has improved facilities for disabled people. It has also sent
doctors to the villages to deliver medicine and help ill people.The Decent Life Initiative
will continue to help people in different places around the country. I think it is an amazing
plan which is really making a big difference in the whole country.

 "A review on the problems in my community"

I live in a great community. There are a lot of facilities and services, but there are few
problems. We have a great library in our area. There are some problems with it. We need

10
 to repair it to make it attractive for people to visit. Another problem is the bad graffiti on
the walls of houses. We should teach children not to write on walls. I think we can solve
any problem by helping each other and sharing ideas.

"A short story about a visit to an interesting place"
Last week, our school went on a trip to the Pyramids. It was my first time to visit and see
the Pyramids. I spent a very beautiful day there. I enjoyed riding a camel and a horse.
There were a lot of tourists from all over the world. I spoke with them in English. Our
great ancient Egyptians were really great builders and engineers. I knew that they built the
Pyramids at first as tombs for themselves. I'd like to invite you to come to Giza and visit
them. Really, you will enjoy and learn a lot of things.
 "A short story about a bad experience"
Yasser has enjoyed snorkeling for about four years. He usually goes with his dad. A few
months ago, he decided to snorkel alone. He didn’t tell his dad this. In the afternoon, the
wind suddenly became very strong. The wind took Yasser far from the beach. He was very
frightened. Some people in a boat came to help Yasser. After that, they took him back to
the beach. Yasser has not snorkeled alone since that time. Now, he always snorkels with an
older person. He has learned an important lesson in his life!

 "A review on my experiences"

Have you ever climbed a mountain? Have you ever eaten a snake? In fact, everyone in life
has their own special experiences they will never forget. My first experience that I will
never forget is when a friend of mine invited me to have lunch at his house. This friend
lives in Marsa Matrouh. I traveled and had a very delicious meal. It was grilled meat, and I
was very happy with the food. When I finished, I asked him what kind of meat that we had.
To my surprise, he told me it was meat of a snake! I told him how come! After that, I knew
it is easy to have snakes for meals at Matrouh.

 "A short story on a happy event that happened to me"
I had an experience I will never forget. I always liked walking in the fields, on my own.
My mother used to advise me not to do so, but I thought I was right. One day, I was alone
in a faraway part of the fields. It was very early in the morning, and there weren’t so many
farmers there. Suddenly, I saw a group of five or six large dogs in front of me. I wasn’t
afraid at all. When the dogs got nearer to me, I wasn’t afraid and I was standstill. After a
minute, the dogs moved away. I was being watched by the field owner. He asked a worker
to come and asked me to come to his house. When I met him, he was happy that I was
brave and gave me some beautiful presents for both my parents and me.

 "A biography of my role model"

Samar Abdelfattah is my role model. As a young child, Samar wanted to be an astronaut.
After she finished school, she went to Cairo University to study space engineering. While
Samar was at university, a space technology company had a competition. Students had to
design a new form of transport that travels above the ground. It is called "hyperloop".
Samar decided to enter the competition. Teams of students from universities all around the
world entered, but Samar's team was the only one from Africa or the Middle East. They
worked hard on the design and won the competition. Samar traveled to America to receive
the award. I really admire her.
 "A short story on the importance of helping people"
I'd like to tell you that yesterday evening, I was traveling on a train from Aswan to Cairo.
One of the passengers suddenly fainted and fell on the aisle of the train. People got worried
and asked the train inspector to come. He thought that the passenger was in great danger.
Luckily, one of the passengers on another carriage came to help. He wasn’t a doctor but he
knew first aid. He put his hands on the man's chest and began to press hard. After some
time, the man opened his eyes and got better. Without helping others, many bad things
would have happened.
 "A biography of a famous person"
Fatma Ali El-Banna was born in Alexandria in 2003. As a child, she loved learning about
science and wanted to be a great scientist. She learned more and more about science as
well as how to look after the environment and Egypt’s culture. She came first in Egypt in
the NASA International Space Apps Challenge. She became very famous when she found
a natural way for villages to clean the dirty water. The project can also help to stop
pollution. In 2021, Fatma’s project won the fourth place in the society’s International
Science and Engineering Fair. She became very famous not only in Egypt but all over the
world as well. I am proud of Fatma and all her achievements.
 "A biography about a person I admire"
Mohamed Salah is the person I admire most. He was born in a village in Gharbia. He is
polite and hardworking. He has played for many teams. He also plays for the Egyptian
National Team. He has scored many goals for our team. He played for Roma Team. Now,
he plays for Liverpool in England and has scored many goals. Liverpool is a very good

12
 team. I like the way they play. Salah has added much speed to the team. Salah has got a lot
of important awards in Africa and Europe.

 "A review on social media in our life"

Technology is very important in our life. It has made life easier. An important type of
modern technological development is social media and its role in our life. Of course, no
one can deny the role that social media plays in our daily life. We can get local and global
news almost at no time thanks to social media. It is also a comfortable way to communicate
with each other. If one of our relatives succeeded, the first thing that tells us this piece of
news is the social media. On the other hand, social media can waste our time if we become
addicted to it. It offers great ways to attract our attention and make us away from our main
tasks.
 "A review on how to be mindful"
If you’re somehow anxious about your schoolwork, I’d like to advise you to relax, be calm
and concentrate on your study. This can come by mindfulness. You should have breaks
between your study sessions. You can spend your weekend at a different place with
cheerful people. Don’t try to talk or hear about people’s problems. Being mindful helps
you to achieve great progress in your life.
 "A review on teenagers’ problems"
Most teenagers aren’t completely happy with their appearance. For example, someone is
embarrassed about being so tall. I think being so tall is a positive thing. For some
teenagers, exams are a problem. They get very anxious about them. Cyberbullying is a
problem for teenagers. One of my sister’s friends got unkind text messages from someone
at her school. It made her feel really upset.

"A review about cyberbullying"
Using the internet is very important. We use it to do many things. I think it has a lot of pros
and cons. The worst disadvantage of the internet is cyberbullying. Some people may
cyberbully others in different ways. They may write bad comments on their photos or
posts. Cyberbullying makes people sad and embarrassed. We must punish people who
cyberbully others.

One day, a little girl whom he had never seen before walked boldly into his shop

seemed very sure of herself. Mr Soames was so surprised by her confident manner that he
forgot to ask his usual question. Instead, he asked her what kind of cigarettes she wanted-
The girl replied promptly and handed him money. While he was giving her the cigarettes,
Mr Soames said laughingly that as she was so young and she should hide the packet in
her pocket in case a policeman sees it. However, the little girl did not seem to find this
very funny. Without even smiling, she took the packet and walked towards the door.
Suddenly, she stopped, turned round, and looked steadily at Mr Soames. There was
