People do not normally live in this area. There are only a few plants here. You can find few animals except for snakes and lizards. It is a large area of sand, and is usually very hot and dry. When you travel through this area, you should always carry plenty of water. Otherwise you may die of thirst. You can find the largest one in north Africa.

I hope he'll get well soon. Tomorrow, I'll go visit him at the hospital with Mike.

Today I'd like to talk about what you should do when driving. First, always observe the traffic signals. If you run a red light, you are running the risk of killing others as well as yourself. Second, do not speed. Driving too fast means putting other people in danger. It also causes noise pollution. Finally, yield to other drivers. Always be polite to other drivers, and you'll enjoy safer and more pleasant driving. In conclusion, you  should  think  of  others  when  driving.
