traffic in Abu Dhabi

Like many large cities around the world, Abu Dhabi suffers from traffic congestion and parking problems.

The main reason for this is the rapidly expanding population. Everybody has a car in Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi is a small city and the city contains many institutions such as corporations, factories, institutions, schools and many others . Due to the size of the city and the large number of cars and the lack of parking, crowded streets and accidents are frequent.
Next , the young drivers don’t know a lot about driving and when they drive , they caus a lot of problem on the roads for example they don’t drive in one line and their cars go right and left .The other problem is the police car . When the police car stops near the road in the morning, some drivers are afraid and brake directly and that causes all the cars behind them brake and the traffic happens.

There are many solutions for that problem. First, the government must do some maintenance to large roads to and the second step is giving the drivers information on the radio about the roads every one hour to avoid the road which has traffic and choose another road. Build a lot of bridge to distribute the cars in many roads . The other step is to teach the young driver about the good driving .

In conclusion there are many solutions for the traffic problem but the important thing is when we will implement  these solutions

Obesity in the UAE

Obesity has become a major problem in the UAE. Over 60% of Emirati nationals are overweight. This is a difficult problem with many serious effects on the individual and country.

Obesity can be divided into three main causes -   diet, lifestyle and education. One of the chief causes is diet. Young Emiratis eat more and more of  burgers and pizza in fast-food restaurants. However, some traditional foods are also very oily. Lifestyle is a second cause of obesity. As a result of cheap foreign labour, many Emiratis now have sedentary jobs, and do not exercise regularly. However, one of the causes is lack of education . Parents do not teach good eating habits to children, and many people lack knowledge about good nutrition or a balanced diet.

The solutions? One of the solutions is education. The children must be teached about eat habit and eat diet food. The second solution is the exercise. The exercises help the body to be healthy. The other solution is stop smoking and eat many of sweets

Obesity or even being overweight has serious effects on the individual and the society. Both need to take action to examine the causes of this problem and find solutions.

For, housing, heritage and enviroment less was spent, £15 billion. The UK government spent £38 billion on Education and £17 billion on law and order. This is all the information shown in the pie- chart.
As we can see, the UK government spent a big amount of the 1996 budget on social security. The lowest budget shown in the pie- chart is £9 billion on transport. That means the UK government focused on the social security because it spent more money on it than anything else.
