2. The simple past is used for the main paragraph, like I did, I went


3. The past perfect is used for when two events happened in the past

Reflection1

To write a procedure essay you should concentrate on two things:
1. You have to use the imperative form, i.e. do this, do that,don't do this, etc.

Sometimes we were given flow charts with the -ing form and we had to remember to change this.
2. You must use linking words, e.g. first, secondly, then, next, after that, finally.

When you do a procedure essay you should include in it three paragraphs:

• the introduction must include 20 to 30 words

• the main paragraph and you must write from 90 to 100 words

• the conclusion and you have to write from 20 to 30 words

story

Last Thursday I went to Khor Fakkan with my friends. We did a lot of things and saw a lot of things. We thought of a lot of places to visit. First we decided to go and eat something because we were starving to death so we stopped at the first restaurant we saw. After we finished eating we decided to go to the Cornish and walk a little bit. When we arrived there the street was very crowded but we didn’t give up and waited until we got there. We parked the car and went walking. While we were walking we saw that it was an outstanding view and astonishing. We sat on the sand to watch the sea.
After a while my friend's phone rang. It was the police telling him to come to his car because some guy crashed into his car. When all of us heard that we rushed to the car in a hurry because now how would we return home. When we arrived we saw the car and only the trunk was damaged and the policeman gave the guy a ticket and the guy gave my friend money for the damage.
We were very scared as we thought that the car was totally crashed but we were relieved when we saw the car. When we returned to Abu Dhabi my friend was a little sad because of the car.We,cheered him up a little bit and he was fine
