The ancient Egyptians firmly believed in the afterlife and spent their time on earth preparing for it. Elaborate burial rituals included preparing the burial site, providing for all of the deceased's material needs(food, clothing, jewels and tools for their trade), and preserving the corpse so that it would not decay. This preservation was accomplished through a process of mummification. The ancients left no written accounts as the execution of this process, so scientists have had to examine mummies and establish their own theories. The embalming process might have taken up to seven days for the pharaohs and nobility and only a few days for the poor.
The embalmers spread a variety of compounds of salt, spices and resins in allover the corpse to preserve it. They followed this with a prescribed wrapping, a procedure in which the wound strips of fine linen around, over and under the body while placing various amulets within the wrappings to protect the deceased from harm n the long journey to the afterlife. They also painted resins over the wrapped linen Finally, a pharaoh or noble would have been encased in a wooden box before being placed in a sarcophagus.

Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not expanded even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two century, English began too spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work.

Currently, about 80 percent oof the information scored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airport, and air traffic controllers.

Suggested writing
There are a number of measures that should be taken to protect endangered animals. First, many people do not know much about the need to protect rare and endangered animals. We should have different activities to raise people’s awareness of the need to protect these animals. Second, projects to save endangered animals do not have sufficient funds, we must raise for these projects. Third, we must conserve the habitats fore endangered animals which are being seriously damaged and polluted. Fourth, we must help the people who live in or near endangered animals’ habitats earn a living because they have poor living conditions and rely mostly on wildlife products for their livelihood. Fifth, some countries which do not have laws to protect endangered animals must enforce the laws, Sixth, we must stop people from buying fashionable wildlife products. Last but not least, we must develop more wildlife habitat reserves..
