My first journey in USA
On day I had thought myself of getting the united states, it never came easier as I thought the issuance of visa wasn’t easy as well, I had to put all my documents together, before I can go to the embassy to apply for the issuance of visa, since I knew that it’s not easy to get the visa, I plan very much well to get all the necessary thing to be able to convince the authorities in the embassy. Lucky for me I went out to the embassy and filed my application, and I was given a date for my interview, that was two weeks for my application, it was very much anxious to be able to pass to the interview process, finally the date for the interview came by, I went to the interview without any hesitant of not getting the visa, I entered the office of the console and had the interview. Hold and behold in about twenty minutes the interview was over and I had my visa on my passport, I was full of happiness that what I had dreamt about is coming to pass. After my visa I went to book my airline ticket from Jordan to the United States, it was a smooth journey from my country to the USA (Chicago airport) in order to complete my journey to Florida, but my flight schedule was from Jordan to Chicago at 5pm and the transit to Florida was at 7pm. Finally I arrived Chicago airport, upon my arrival at Chicago airport I had to be in a cue waiting for my turn to be approved by the immigration officer, when it was my turn he looks so many times observing my passport, I was very nervous because I did not understand why is he taking too many times observation on my passport, and suddenly he told me to follow him which I did perfectly. I followed him to a different room where we met a superintendent officer, they spoke in a way that I never understood, I was asked to sit down by the officer, there was some interrogation by the officer, during this interrogation I was asked by one of the officer again from where I was essentially to another room, my heart was pounding because I have never ever experience such mishandling, I had to abide by what he told me, I had several questions bombard on me, which I gave the needed answers, one of the questions was that ( do you have any nephews in the united states ), at that moment I sat down for a while thinking about the question, immediately I said to him yes I had, he asked me who are they?, and my answer was that my uncle is the ambassador of my country to the USA (Washington) , and my father too was among the members of the police force in the early seventeen’s to participates a training with the USA, CIA department. After given out all these answers he done approved my arrival at Chicago airport. I was very much relief and kind of looking to myself. I went out of the room only to notice that my time for the transit is passed and I missed my flight. The option that I had was to book a new ticket to the next day, so that I can continue my journey to Florida, it wasn’t easy but I was glad to be in the United States.

In this chapter an author is talking about the Editing and proofreading. When you must prepare your writing, you must edit and proofread your revised writing so that it speaks clearly and accurately. When you edit, look first for words, phrases, checking for sentences style, avoid these sentence problems that sounds unclear. When you proofread, check your writing for spelling, and grammar errors. The Editing and proofreading are the second step after revising to look for any errors. I think that will help you avoiding mistakes and look over again.

The goal of comparing and contrasting is to help the readers understand the topics, explore what is the point. To help achieve this there are keys have to be used, starting from knowing your reader, how to help readers use the information, what they know about the subject, and what they should know. Comparing subject’s show how they are similar, while contrasting them show how they are different, what I can see in this chapter that when you reflect on similarities and differences, you gain a deeper understanding of the items you are comparing, their relationship to each other, and what is most important about them.
