Making instant coffee

   Coffee is a very popular drink around the world. People drink it at all times of the day. There is several kind of coffee, but I am now going to describe how instant coffee is produced.

The coffee beans are picked and then they are dried. After that, the beans are roasted and the beans are cooled rapidly. Next, the beans are ground and they are mixed with hot water. Then, the mixture is strained and frozen. After that, the frozen liquid is ground and the frozen liquid is dried in a vacuum. Finally, the beans are packed into jars.

Instant coffee is not quite as good as real coffee, but it is very popular and saves a lot of time. The manufacturers have done most of the steps for us! 

Ghosts

One night in my friend’s house in Al Nahadah in Abu Dhabi, my cousins, friends and I went to his house after he invited us. We stayed there till 3 o’clock in the morning and it was too late to return to Liwa so he said it’s ok to sleep in his meeting room.
   My cousins, friends and I were sleeping when we heard someone running above the roof. I was very dizzy and shouted to my friends; please stop running I want to sleep and then they woke me up and said there is someone running above us. I said it might be a cat. After we fell asleep again, we started to hear the door opening and closing. I woke up and said to my friends that we should leave now; I thought the house was full of ghosts, some of my friends slept and others were still awake till morning and I was one of them.
   When the morning came, my friends and I ask a question to who invited us and said, is your house hunted with ghosts? He laughed at us and said no. From that day my friends and I didn’t tell anyone about it and my friend who invited us he made a joke of it. I can still remember what it was; it was a very frightening night.
