How olive oil is made

Manufacturing olive oil is a long and difficult process but it is simple if you follow these steps carefully and you will produce good quality oil.

First, between September and December, olives are harvested or picked by hand or with sticks and rakes. Then, they are collected on nets beneath the trees. After that, leaves and small stones are removed and the olives are washed to eliminate any remaining impurities before crushing. Then, within the first 24-36 hours of picking the olives are pressed by using granite stones. After that, the paste obtained is layered on nets and then it is put under pressure from a screw or hydraulic press. The liquid produced is collected and put through a centrifugal separator to separate water and impurities from oil. Finally, the olive oil is distributed to the markets.

In conclusion, as you can see making olive oil is a long and complicated process but if you follow these steps you will get good results.

The UAE & Brunei

As we all know, both UAE and Brunei are rich countries, so in this essay I am going to write about the similarities and differences between them.

There are four major similarities between the UAE and Brunei. The first similarity is Islam. Both of them share the same religion which is Islam. The second similarity is airlines. Both countries have national airlines. Another similarity is that both have oil and gas. Both economies depend on oil and gas and this makes them rich countries. Yet another similarity is hereditary monarchies. Both of them have hereditary monarchies as the government system.

Although there are some similarities between the UAE and Brunei, there are also some differences between them. The first difference is geographic location. The UAE is in the Middle East in contrast to Brunei which is in the Far East. The second difference is climate. The UAE only has two seasons summer and winter but Brunei is the same all year round and has a normal season that means they have four season. Another difference is building style. In Brunei they build in thier houses on stilts because they have a lot of rain in contrast to the UAE . Yet another difference is the steering wheel. In the UAE the steering wheels is on the left side but in Brunei the steering wheel is on the right side.

In conclusion, the both countries are safe and beautiful and I hope to visit Brunei in future.

Reflection 3

In process essays we used present passive which means is and are with past participle, e.g . oranges are graded. And the essay structure is similar to procedure. Introduction, main paragraph, conclusion: 25+100+25=150 words. And we used the linking words, the same as procedure: first, secondly, next, after that, finally.
