Describing a person
Mothers are the greatest people in our life. Write a description of your mother. Include: appearance, personality, relationships with others.
Najat Ahmed is my mother. She’s the greatest mother in the world. Mom lives with me
and my brother in Jidhafs, Bahrain. She’s 41 years old but she looks younger. Najat
works in NBB bank in Isa Town. She’s a horror fan just like me.
Mother is really short, she’s 153 cms only. Najat has got a round face with full lips. She
has got short brown hair and a small nose. Mom is a bit chubby. She has got small
brown eyes that are full of hope and love. Najat is a really cheerful person. But,
sometimes she gets mad for no reason. Her honesty made her really popular in her
work place. However, she gets easily scared by any kind of rats. Mom is also known
for her brave soul and her amazing personality.
Najat won a lot of things in her lifetime. When she was 32, she won 2nd
place for best
poem writer in her work place. Her caring about me and my brother -as she’s alone-
shows everyone who doesn’t know her well how great she is in everything she does.

My mother means the world to me and I’ll love her forever. She gave me her soul and
for that I’ll give her my all. Whenever someone is going to ask me to write about my
hero, I will choose her every time.

Dream School
You are studying in a new school, but you still think it could be better. Write an essay about your ideal school.
My ideal school would be called “Horizon High School”. It would be located near the
beach. It would be a huge school with a high amount of students.
Horizon School would consist of 20 buildings and 104 classes. The classes would be
very big and spacious. The facilities of the school would be several like the huge
library. It would contain different types of books and there would be more than 2
million books there. It would also have three laboratories each one of them equipped
with different scientific stuffs. Moreover, the school would have a lounge where
everybody can take a rest and enjoy their time there. In addition, there would be a big
e-class with an active board and Mac laptops for each student. Last but not least, it
would have a great food court with different types of restaurants, where you can enjoy
the delicious and tasty food.
The timetable would be very organized. There would be 8 lessons and 3 breaks a day.
Besides, the rules would be very strict and the punishments would be very severe. The
uniforms would be a must and no phones or electronics would be allowed.

Students would study useful and usual subjects like: Maths, Physics, Chemistry and
English. In addition to these subjects, there would be optional subjects too which most
students would like them like: driving lessons, make-up lessons and chess club.
There would be also many after school activities like: dancing lessons. Or you can join
the cooking lessons to learn how to make delicious food. Moreover, if you are creative,
you can join the designing club. Also, if you love sports, you can be one of the school’s
team members.
I think my school would be a great place to spend time there because it would
balance between education and entertainment so the graduated students would be
well educated and talented too.

Dream School
You are studying in a new school, but you still think it could be
better. Write an essay about your ideal school.
Currently, I’m studying at Jidhafs Secondary School. It is a very big school located in
Jidhafs Town. It is a bit old and was opened in 1984. There are more than four
buildings, each with two floors. Jidhafs School is a very good school but it needs some
improvements. In this essay, I’m going to describe my ideal school.
My ideal school would be called “The Stars”. It would be a huge school located near
the sea in Amwaj Islands. There would be more than three buildings; each building
consists of three floors. There would be 1000 students only! The classes would be big
and wide. Also, they wouldn’t be full; each class would not have more than 20
students, so they can feel comfortable and free.
My dream school would have many different facilities. For example, there would be a
big library that would have different kinds of books and 7 computers. Students can use
the Internet and finish their projects at any time. Also, there would be a coffee shop
and small restaurants instead of the cafeteria with lots of tables and chairs for

students to sit on. Moreover, there would be a huge fountain surrounded by colorful
plants and flowers, a guitar shaped swimming pool and a bit cage of birds for a better
learning environment. Not to mention the electronic class that would have 40
computers all connected to the Internet and three smart boards to make lessons more
fun and interactive.
My ideal school would start at 8:00 am and would finish at 2:00 in the afternoon.
There would be 6 periods. There would be subjects like Arabic, English and Math in
addition to the creative and remedial classes every week. There would also be after
school activities such as drama club, chess club and a music club that would be full of
instruments.
The rules would not be so strict and so different than Jidhafs School, for example, the
students can wear anything they want. There wouldn’t be a uniform! Also, the students
can bring their phones but they are not allowed to bring cameras. Students should
sign some papers if they were late.
To sum up, my ideal school would be so amazing! I wish the Ministry of Education
could build a school like this in Bahrain. In my opinion, all the students would like to
join the school.

An informal letter of advice
Write a letter of advice to your friend who’s having some problems
at home/ school and feels stressed.
Dear Hanan,
Hello! How are you? Very well, I hope. How is your sister? My baby sister has never
stopped talking about the week you spent with us in Bahrain. I still remember the time
when we went to Seef Mall to buy Pink Berry but we forgot to bring money!
Anyway, I’ve read your letter and I’m writing to give you some advice for your problem.
First of all, you have to organize your time and place to have a cozy surrounding.
Secondly, you should have a clear plan to what you want to do, so you can finish on
time. Moreover, going out with your friends and cousins can change your mood
noticeably. What about an Italian night out? Also, you must eat healthy and clean food
like fruit and vegetables to maintain fit and healthy body. Why don’t you join a gym to
work out? Finally, you can always ask your mother for other pieces of advice, because
she knows how to deal with such situations.
