These two pie charts show the types of gifts that man and women in the USA buy for each other on 14th February, Valentine’s day.

As we know that men and women are usually share different kinds of gifts on The Valentine’s day.
The most populat gift that men and women buy is card with 18% for men and 27% for women. Mens are more than women is buying flower and that is written with 16% for men, while 11% for women However,  more women, 27%, buy cards than men, 18%. Rather surprisingly, more women, around a fifth, buy candy for men than vice versa.  Both men and women are equal in purchase jewelry/jewellery with 10%. More than twice women buy perfume or cologne than Men. Men spend more than women on both lingerie and spa/personal care, which is probably what you’d expect.

In conclusion, In my opinion that the proposed rates is realistic

Journey to Niah Caves

A Journey from Brunei to Sarawak Thirty years ago, Hedley, with his wife Mary and daughter Katie visited the Niah Caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They travelled by car, ferry, and boat.

They set off from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and drove to the border with Sarawak. They crossed two large rivers by ferry, stopped in Miri for lunch and then continued to Niah, a small river township. Then they hired a small boat and sailed upriver to a government rest house, where they spent 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 slept in bunk beds with no air-conditioning. It was a novel experience.

The next morning, they walked along a jungle path for half an hour until they reached the Niah caves. Inside the caves, which were very high, they saw men who climbed up tall bamboo poles. The men wore lights on their hats because it was so dark. At the top of the poles they scraped off birds’ nests from the roof of the caves. The nests were collected by their mates on the cave floor and packed into sacks. These nests were later sold and made 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 on process writing

When the task is to describe a process using the passive voice/mood, we must use the present passive.

This is formed by using is or are with the past participle, e.g.

Orange juice is stored in a fridge.

The oranges are transported in trucks to the factory.

If we fail to use the passive when we are specifically asked to do so, we are dropped a quarter band, which can mean the difference between passing & failing.

How to change a tyre

 I will explain to you the steps to change a tyre if you have encountered a puncture.


After stoppng and parking in a safe place, the wheelnuts are loosened. Then the car is jacked up. Then the nuts and the wheel are removed. After that the spare wheel is put on. Then the nuts are tightened and the car is lowed. the nuts are tightened again. Finally, you tools are packed away.


In my opinion women should be tought how to change a tyre.  In addition traffice should include lessons in how to change a tyre when people are getting the liceane.

How to make butter


 
In every place in the world we  need to have milk; however not everyone  knows how to make butter . I am going to talk about how to make it.
Firstly, you need to check the fresh milk quality and fat content. Then you should leave the milk to cool. After that, separate the cream and churn it. After separation drain the buttermilk from the butter and place it in a jar. After this step, wash the butter with cold water and that comes to remove remaining buttermilk. Then add a small amount of salt for flavor. In addition cut and wrap the butter and finally store the butter in a fridge.
I prefer the butter especially when I am alone at home and I believe it is a benefit for me to learn about food.
