through the city, I suddenly looked  (look) up and saw (see) the amazing Burj Khalifa tower.  I had never
seen (never see) anything quite so incredible in my whole life!  Many people  had told (tell) me that it was a

the tower when I suddenly realised (realise) that I had left  (left) my camera back at the hotel! The rest of
the trip was (be) also amazing, and since I have got back I have been telling  (tell) people about it
