Hi! Today I´m gonna talk about a piece of news connected to my area of studies: sociology. For this reason I pick up an newspaper article of The Guardian, entitled “The Arab spring: one year on”. This is about the way in which Ahdaf Soueif write the book “Cairo my city, our revolution”. According the news, the author had order to write a book about Cairo but she couldn´t write it. But in February 2011, in the midle of Arab Revolution, his publisher said “this was the moment to write”. Ahdaf didn`t like this advice because at that moment she wanted to participate in revolution, instead write about it. However, she started to write about the Arab Revolution “told (his) own chosen order, but it is very much the story of our revolution”. She tried to write and ´make revolution` at the same time, which is difficult to do.
Ahdaf “needed to take in as much of the present as possible” but it was changing always. Finally, she said that revolution is a process and Egyptian revolution continues despite the difficulty.
Below, the article talk about events that ocurred in Arab Revolution. This events was witnessed by Ahdaf and she described it in detail.

Don´t forget the "s" for third person singular verbs:
"This is about the way in which Ahdaf Soueif writeS the book “Cairo my city, our revolution”.
And say, "According TO the news, the author had orderED to write a book about Cairo but she couldn´t write it."
As we agreed in class, you get a 4,0.
