WRITING- PARAGRAPH A Dear Friend, How are you? I am happy to hear you are looking for a new job. I am very happy with my job. I want to tell you about it. I am an operator for ADNOC. My job is great. I don’t have to sit in an office, but I get to use my hands to do my work. I work on a shift. This means I spend 3 weeks at work, but I have 3 weeks of holiday. I love this about my job. There is one thing that is difficult about my job. We work long hours, and sometimes we have to work outside. It can be very hot in summer. I hope I hear from you soon. 11 Abdulla B A flat tire One day when I was driving to Dubai I heard a loud sound. Then my car began move and it was hard to drive. I quickly and safely pulled my car to the side of the road. I got out of my car and I looked at my tire. I saw that my front tire was flat. I knew I had to change my tire. I could not drive like that. I went to the back of my car to get my spare tire. It was very hot and I did not want to change my tire, but I knew I had to. After I finished I decided to go back home and not continue my trip. I was too tired.
