A Journey from Brunei to Sarawak

Thirty years ago, Headley, with his wife Mary and daughter Katie, visited the Niah Caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They travelled by car, ferry, and boat.

They sat off from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and drove to the border with Sarawak. They cross two large rivers by ferry, stopped in Miri for lunch and then continued to Niah, a small river township. Then they have a small boat and soil upriver to a government rest house, where they spondee the night. They ate with the small group of scientists who lived in the rest house and shared the cold drinks they had brought with them in a cool box. It was a remote spot, deep in the jungle. They walk in bunk beds with no aircinditioning. It reached a novel experience.

The next morning, they saw along a jungle path for half an hour until they climb the Niah caves. Inside the caves, which were very high, they wear men who scrape up tall bamboo poles. The men collected lights on their hats because it was so dark. At the top of the poles they pack of birds’ nests from the roof of the caves. The nests were sold by their mates n the cave floor and made into sacks. These nests were later say and set off into bird’s nest soup, a Chinese delicacy.

That afternoon, they said goodbye to their new-found friends in the rest house and set off on the long drive home. It was quite an adventure and one they would never forget.

Reflection

I learn to use the comparison vocabulary and phrases, when I write the essay. Like some words can help when I start to think how to write the essay (although – while – however – but – unfortunately). Also I know the grammar (past – present – future).

How to divide the essay between three paragraphs (between 150 – 200 words) and four paragraphs (between 250 – 400 words).  Start with an introduction saying what you are going to write about.     In the body write about the topic and give the examples. In the conclusion write your opinion about the topic.

How to make butter

The milk moves it in the different steps to get special for the product to sale and used for customers in the supermarket. First, check the fresh milk for the quality and also fat contact. The second step, is to take the milk to  cool. After that separate the cream. Also the churn the cream. Third, start to drain the butter milk from the butter. Fourth, place the butter in a jar. The fifth step is to wash the butter with cold water, to remove remaining butter milk. Last step, add a small amount of salt for flavor. Also  cut and wrap the butter and store it in a fridge before you eat it.

All in all, that is what we do now to make butter.

How to prepare a desert trip

Arabian people like very much to visit the desert when they have free time. A lot of them live in Gulf countries. They  have the name of Bedouin. They live in the oases. The people who live in the United Arab Emirates like to spend free time camping in the desert.

First, when you think to go into the desert, start to create a plan of what you need in the camp. Start to get everything for the tent and what size you need. Second, provide the food and drinks. Third, provide all the important tools in the camp, for example a generator to get electricity for the lighting and the wood for the fire.

The winter is a good time to visit the desert with friends and family. But make sure you prepare carefully.
