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.

Budget

The pie- chart shows the information on UK government spending in 1996. The total budget is £315 billion.
There are many budgets for the UK government. The highest budget is £100 billion. It is spent for Social security. For another social service it spent £53 billion on health and personal services. The UK government spent £9 billion on transport. They spent around £23 billion on each of defence, debt interest and other expenditure. 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.

Last weekend was the longest weekend for this semester so I had planned for one of the days to go with my family to Sharjah.

On Friday I went to Sahara Mall with my family. Then we went to the cinema and saw an action movie with Dwayne Johnson called Faster and it was a nice movie. After that we had dinner In the Hatem restaurant in Sahara Mall and the food was very delicious. It was a really nice day. On Sunday I went with my wife and kids to Global Village. First we looked around and we saw two shows there; the first show was about African traditional dance and the second was about Indian traditional dance and it was quite nice. Then we had some shopping in some villages. Last we had dinner in Applebee’s restaurant which was very delicious. That day was quite nice for me because most of the time was shopping. On the other two days I spent my time at home watching TV programs and movies with my family.

At last I would say I really enjoyed the weekend. It was really a very nice weekend. I hope we have another one the same as this one.
It’s important to know how to change a tire, especially if there is no garage nearby to help out. In this essay I will write the procedure for how to change a tire.
First, the wheel nuts must be loosened. This should be done before the car is raised, using the jack. Next, the car is jacked up. Then the nuts are removed. After that the wheel is removed and the spare tire is put on. Then the nuts are tightened and the car is lowered. The nuts are tightened one last time for safety. Finally the tools are tidied away. You are now ready to drive on.
As you can see, changing a tire is a very simple and easy but you have to follow the all steps in the correct order.
Orange juice

          Orange juice is beneficial for health and has many benefits. The orange is rich with vitamin C which is important for the health. In this essay I will write the process of how to make orange juice.

          First of all, the fruit is unloaded from trucks. Next it`s graded and washed. Then it goes to the sizer. After that we have to take it to the juice extractor. Next the waste is sent to animal feed and the other is sent to the evaporator at high temperature for a short time. Then the orange juice is concentrated. Next it is sent to refrigerated storage, and after that to a canning machine. Next it is shipped to Dubai and then water is added to the concentrate and it is ready to sell.

          Finally, the procedure is very easy to make orange juice. If you want good quality orange juice you have to follow the procedure.

A journey from Brunei to Sarawak


Thirty years ago, Hedley, with his wife Mary and daughter Katie, visited the Niah caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They traveled by car, boat and ferry.
They set off from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and drove to the border with Sarawak. They crossed two large rives by ferry, stopped In Miri for lunch and then continued to Niah, a small river township. Thin they hired a small boat and sailed upriver to a government rest house, where they spent the night. They ate with the small group of scientists who lived in the rest house and shared the cold drinks they had brought with them in a cool box. It was a remote spot, deep in the jungle. They slept in bunk beds with no airconditioning. It was a novel experience.
The next morning, they walked along a jungle path for half an hour until they reached the Niah caves. Inside the caves, which were very high, they saw men who climbed up tall bamboo poles. The men wore lights on their hats because it was so dark. At the top of the poles they scraped off birds’ nests from the roof of the caves. The nests were collected by their mates on the cave floor and packed into sacks. These nests were later sold and made into bird’s nest soup, a Chinese delicacy.
That afternoon, they said goodbye to their new-found friends in the rest house and set off on the long drive home. It was quite an adventure and one they would never forget.
