1. I went on a trip last month to Dubai with my friend John.  I was very excited about going because I (never, visit) Dubai before, and I (not, see) John for a long time, because he lives in Australia.  Like myself, John is also from the UK, but he (live) in Australia for 6 years.  I arrived at Dubai airport at around 8pm after a 4-hour flight from the UK.  I met John at the airport and we checked into our hotel.  I wanted to go and have a look around the city on the first evening, but John was really tired because he (sit) on a plane for 8 hours.   I decided to go and look around the city myself.  As I (walk) through the city, I suddenly (looked) up and saw the amazing Burj Khalifa tower.  I (never see) anything quite so incredible in my whole life!  Many people (tell) me that it was a magnificent building, but it is only when you see it that you realise just how big it is! I (stare) at the tower when I suddenly (realise) that I (left) my camera back at the hotel! The rest of the trip was also amazing, and since I have got back I (tell) people about it constantly. It is great to tell people that I (see) the tallest building in the world!
