Suggested answer
Dear Ali,
How are you? I’m fine. I have been doing a lot of projects for school subjects.
I went to the National Museum last Saturday. I got a golden opportunity to visit the famous historic National Museum in Amman. The museum building is robust and majestic. The museum has various departments that have artifacts on different subjects and historical periods on display. I saw numerous images, articles, sculptures, and scriptures– palm leaf and rock engravings and many other articles of great value and interest as we entered the ground floor of the museum. The entire museum is divided into different departments like the archaeological division, anthropological division, display section, etc.
I look forward to hearing your news.
Love,
Salim

6 Write a short descriptive text about the profession of your choice and your reasons for choosing it.
Suggested answer
Everyone in this world has his own likes and dislikes. So is the case with choosing one’s profession. There are host of good professions to choose from. As a child, everyone talks of becoming something which they like or which amuses them but choosing a career is a serious task. It is quite difficult to choose a profession. Although I am not old enough to choose a profession, yet I would like to set my aim in mind to derive me for it. Thus, I have dream of becoming a doctor. A doctor, a healer, a time-honoured ancient profession. I have always been interested and fascinated in the field of study of the biology or human science.
Medicine has many advantages over other professions. It is an ideal and a noble profession in the sense that a doctor remains honest and hardworking in his profession. Doctor is a saviour for thousands and God for all. Doctors are able to make a difference, a real difference between life and death. A doctor’s life is hard. Often, he has to visit a patient during his off hours, forgoing rest, sleep, and even food. Sometimes the doctor has to work day and night, attending to serious patients or victims of war, epidemic or major accident. Doctor always treats his patients with a smile and a cheer. He motivates and encourages sick persons. He is a source of hope and strength to his patients. Even if he is in distress his duty is first towards his patient. Doctors have to be charitable, dedicated, hardworking and friendly to their patients.
A doctor is true healer and philanthropist and I looking forward to becoming the holy and honoured doctor. I know it would take a lot of hard work on my part to cherish this dream. I am ready to put in all the hard work and want to be a great doctor and serve poor and ailing people.
