Describing a place:( a report about a shopping centre)
:Introduction
.Al Seef mall is an enjoyable place to visit. I always go with my mother to do some shopping there
:Facilities
You can also have lunch in different restaurants that serve delicious food. It has a lot of cafs. You can
watch the most recent movies in more than 10 cinemas at different times. There is a big place for children to
.play and have fun while their parents do shopping
:Shops and prices
It is a very big mall with varieties of goods such as clothes, accessories, hand bags, shoes and electrical
.devices. The prices of goods are reasonable but some of them are really expensive
:Recommendation
.But there some disadvantages that I don't like about the mall. First of all there is no enough parking places
Then, it is always crowded so it is very hard to relax there especially at weekend. Sometimes I can't find the
shop I want because the mall is too big.

A restaurant review:
I've been to Al Abraaj restaurant for years. Its the kind of place where one can go out with friends or
.families
.The food has always been great. The service on weekends can be slightly slow but good
The dcor of the place brings in an old world charm that makes for the atmosphere of the place very
.fantastic and special
The reason why I prefer Al Abraaj is because the range of food is from Lebanese, Turkish and Persian
food. There are also a few Indian dishes. Continental food is also available. Prices are medium range. I like
.to go there many times

A movie review:
Helen Keller, blind and deaf, is treated more as a pet than a child by her family. She has no knowledge or
understanding, and just grabs whatever she wants and breaks whatever she doesn't want. Her parents hire
Annie Sullivan to be her teacher.
Sullivan begins by teaching Helen basics like insisting that she eat only from her own plate. She also
teaches Helen finger-spelling, using her hands to spell out the names of everything Helen touches. Helen
learns to imitate the finger-motions, but does not connect them to anything.
Sullivan takes Helen to live in a small building so she can teach her without being undermined by the
family. They have some fierce battles, but make enough progress to move back into the house. Once home
again, Helen reverts to her wild ways. After one messy meal, Sullivan grabs her and forces her to the pump,
to fill the pitcher of water she knocked over. As Helen feels the water rush over one hand, Sullivan fingerspells "water" into the other. Suddenly, Helen understands. A word she heard as a baby comes back to her,
and she knows that "w-a-t-e-r" spells water. She runs all over, asking for the names of everything. As the
movie ends, it is clear that Sullivan has opened the world to her.
