Rewrite the paragraph below in passive voice.

People manufacture modern paper from a mixture of various fibers, including wood, grass and cotton. When the logs arrive at the factory, the workers remove the bark. They then feed the wood into a mill in order to grind it to a pulp. The workers add a great deal of water and various vegetable fibers at this stage. They bleach the pulp and then beat it to break down still further. They mix the glue and resin with the pulp so that they obtain a better consistency. Next they pour it on the wire screens and roll it with the purpose of removing the water. The workers then press and watermark it. They then subsequently dry and glaze it so as to obtain a smooth finish. Finally, they reel it on to long rollers and cut it to size.

SHORT STORY 1

                Mary was very proud of her garden. She'd planted the seeds early in the spring and tended to the plants every day since then. She pulled the weeds so they'd have lots of space. She knew that the plants needed plenty of water, so she watered them every day too. 

               Last Saturday her friend Pam called early in the morning and invited Mary to spend the day at the mall. They left early and spent the day there, even taking in a movie. Pam then invited Mary to sleep over Saturday night too, and she happily accepted. When    Mary arrived home on Sunday afternoon, her beautiful plants were bent and drooping.

 

Inference :

1 . Mary planted a very sensitive plant that needs water everyday.

2 . Her plant was very tiny and young so it needs an intensive care.

Predictions :

1 . Mary quickly watered the plant.

2 . The plant wilted and die.

How was my inference and predictions?
Am I totally right? Yeah, I knew it. haha

Freak Accident

Assalamualaikum,

this is my second entry for this blog, and as you can see,

the title is "Freak Accident"

seriously, this is one tough job for me to be done.

needs a lot of recall and made me tired... heh

okay, now i got an idea

i remembered an event that happened to me and my friend last semester,

i dont really think it was a freak accident,

but the way my friend freaked out make me feel like it suits the title "Freak Accident"

 _________________________________________________________________

I remembered that day,

my friend and I were going to Jitra to watch a movie,

Conan The Barbarian...

I was going with Nazri, Anep, Emi, and Kimie...

we rent a car,A Perodua Viva and I was driving even I dont have any license :-)

and actually it was my first time driving on a main road  and i didn't tell them. :-) again

The picture of me driving on the real day of the incident happen

We had a great fun in Jitra Mall, especially it was the first time one of my friend entered a cinema,

then we headed back to Arau, and Im still the one driving. hahah..

we planned to have our dinner in Arau but we dont have a specific place for us to eat,

then I decided to stop near the market and we lit up some 'mercun bola'

that i bring from home after Aidilfitri break.. hehe 

Guess which one is whose.. hahah!!

After that, we quickly get into the car and fled from the scene,

i drove through an alley just beside the market,

then I saw a drain across  the alley,

as we approach the drain, I realized it was no drain cover,

it was a small drain, so i thought we could go pass through it,

Then I remembered we were only riding a Perodua Viva, 

with our weight and the small tires, i think we couldn't make it,

it was too late and I didnt able to step on the brake,

so I just warned them by shouting

"Lubang!!!!"

Bump!

the front tires bumped into the drain and stuck in there,

everybody get out from the car except me because Im the driver, :-D

I asked them to look for the situation and help me to get the car out from the drain,

everybody looked at the car except for Emi,

as usual he acted 'gelabah biawak' by himself and ignoring us.

 The famous Emi Jamal :-)

I started the engine and reversed the car and it got out easily.

Then I got out and looked at the cars condition,

the bumpers cracked a bit because it hitted the ground.

then we turn around at Emi, and saw his forehead was bleeding

and we all are laughing at him... haha!!!

We laughed at him because the way of him freaked out

because it was only a slight scratch at his forehead because he bumped his head to the drivers seat, and suddenly he was bleeding while everybody else can get out of the car laughing and cursing me.

But I still ask him for apology because it was my fault,

hehehee..

If Im not mistaken, he even text-ed his girlfriend after that, and she called him  immediately. :-p

And the great news is, we managed to repair the car back by our-self and the bumper looks good as new and even the owner did not realise.

I cannot forget the face of Emi Jamal freaked out. so funny! lol

 

I even got a video early from that day, but you have to rotate your screen

oh yes, and it even got a response for the video raya by shima kazara and aziera..

:-)

I think it is a freak accident because how can u expect an uncovered drain across a street at the place which i am strongly believe everybody goes there. Hah, it tarnished my record as a skillful driver.

That day, my engine didnt even accidentally went off even once (except during the incident) including during the underground parking lot at Jitra Mall. Not like one of us, twice within 5km's.... heheh

Hope you guys enjoyed my story, especially miss :-)

26 years old...... Hmmmmmm

Assalamualaikum! :-D

My first writing is about what will I be at the age of 26
This is the title my lecturer gave it to me for me to write
and i dont really know what should i write.

It is 2019, about 8years from now......

hmmmm......... 

By that time, I should be having my own business,

my own source of living,

and maybe it is just still a small business.

And if I could pursue my dream to become a pilot again, then I will becoming 

a pilot by that time.

In 2019, I should have some property

I should have a comfortable house, a superbike, a car,  

a shop lot and etc. (?)

and maybe they have 's' instead of 'a'

At the age of 26, I should be married

with the girl i love (for sure) :-D

We should be a happy couple then family  and achieve our dream together.... haha

BnD

If I am able to reach all of the above,
then I must be able to send my parent to Mecca to perform Haj.
I wish I got enough money for that,
and maybe the whole family can go together,
it is very important for us as a Muslim,,
especially when we are mentally, physically, and economically  able

"Haji Muhammad Syamil"

InsyaAllah

I don't really have a good idea to write for my 1st post.. heh
