Radio and TV

In the past people knew the news from newspaper and radio. However, TV and the internet are better ways of receiving news and entertainment. This essay will discuss the agreement and disagreement whether there is a need for newspapers and the radio anymore.

One side first, newspapers and radio are important. We can listen to the news from the radio while driving, because there is no TV in the car. Next, you can use newspaper in your work. For example, you can read the newspaper quickly while you have a break. The last point is you can read from the newspaper anytime. For instance, TV has a specific time to show the news and the newspaper you can buy anytime and read it anytime.

Another side, using internet and TV is more developed. You can watch the news live which is more interesting than reading. Moreover, you can watch the video news in the internet and repeating the news as much as you want. Lastly, TV and internet is more enjoyment than newspaper and radio because on the TV and the internet you can watch, listen and read at the same time but the newspaper and radio you can use either read or listen.

In short, newspaper and radio are old and the new ways are TV and the internet. In my opinion the four types are very important for us and we can’t stop using them.

Etisalat Blocking website

Etsalat has been blocking websites that might be dangerous or harmful for people who are in UAE. Some people believe that what this company does is good for us. Others think that there are important websites which should not blocked in UAE. This essay will discuss the pros and cons of Etsalat blocking websites.

            There are several arguments in favour of blocking websites in the UAE. First, parents can be more comfortable while their children use the internet. For example, when you open any website, there might be immoral websites, so Etsalat they block these websites and children cannot see the immoral things. Another important point is to avoid learning bad habits, such as making a girlfriend or boyfriend which is forbidden in our culture and learning bad English words from anyone. The last point is to avoid viruses on the computer. For instance, some websites are actually viruses that people want to put in your computer and steal your information or hack your computer and damage it.

However, there are many people against blocking websites. First, there are important websites, such as websites that have important information for researching or studying. Second, stop the sharing between the people. For example, they block social websites which people they come from other countries to UAE they can’t talk with their family or sharing pictures. The last argument is that adult should be able to choose, like adults should be responsible for their behavior. Adult can think what is good or bad for his behavior.

In conclusion, blocking websites and keeping websites on both have advantages. However, I strongly believe that blocking websites is far better to keep our children in safe from bad habits and bad behavior because children will grow and they will serves our country, so they need good habits and good behavior.

#5Using Mobile Phones

Everyone now has a mobile phone and using them is useful for us. However, some people use their phones while driving. Some people think this is illegal about using mobile phone while driving, and others argue that it’s necessary. In this essay will discuss both making mobile phones illegal use while driving, and against making it illegal.

First, there are several points to make illegal of using mobile phones while driving. You can concentrate while driving if you talk on the phone. For example, you will cause an accident and maybe somebody will die from this accident. Another important point is sometimes people forget the traffic light which may cause a big accident and maybe he will lose his life and others life. The last point is driving slowly to talk will make a traffic jam and driving fast that will make traffic fines like from speed radar.

On the other hand, using mobile phones sometimes have a useful impact. First necessary emergency calls, such as you are sick and can’t drive or somebody in your family are sick, second point is  if you are stuck in the traffic you can’t talk with friend better than getting angry and nervous. The last important is you may have an important call. For instance your manager call and also other business calls.

In short using mobile phones has both positive and negative use. In my opinion is best to make a balance between illegal use of phones and legal use. Remember that somebody is always waiting for you at home to come back in good health.

Watching TV

In the past children lived close to nature and didn’t have TV. Today many children in the world watch TV for many hours. This essay will discuss the problems of watching TV too much and I will suggest some solutions of this problem.

There are many problems of watching TV too much. First of all, the children who watch TV too much will have bad eyesight. As a result, they will be a when they will be very old or can’t see clearly. Another reason, against watching TV too much, without walking or exercising, the children will become obese in early age. The most important reason is the children will be autistic so they will not have social life.

Although these problems are very dangerous, we can solve the problem by taking some solutions. First, educate children to know how is will affect their eyes, not only their eyes, but also their brains. Another solution is to make them walk and exercise every day. Finally, the government should build a small public park in each neighbor, so the children will reduce watching TV and play outside with the children.

To sum up, watching the TV too much is a problem for the children because it will affect their eyes, bodies and social life, we can solve this problem by educating children, give them exercises every day and build a small park in each area. I wish that we have solved this problem.

Obesity In The UAE

Today, most people in UAE are very fat which are come from several problems. There are many problems which cause the obesity in the UAE, such as diet, lifestyle and education. This problem requires a serious action from the people to reduce from their weight.

            Most people are very fat because of change in diet.  For instance, everyday people eat from fast food which is creating the obesity. Also, our traditional food specially rice which we eaten every day. Some parents don’t know. The consequences from eating rice every day are, so they didn’t change the meals for their children. However, lifestyle is also one problem from obesity. Young people can eat outside the home because of money they get from their parents. Also, they do not do exercises especially after they marry. Last, education is very important for health. Some people have a lack of knowledge about good eating habits.  For example, most people don’t care about their health and they eat more than the body wants. Moreover, children are fed too much.

Fortunately, there are remedies for this solution. First, educate people in a special class about eating diet. For example, people in the schools, colleges and universities should have a subject called personal health with credit to make people interested in this subject. Also, encourage people to eat at healthy restaurants instead of fast food. For instance, people who work outside home for long time they can eat from Subway and vegetable restaurants which make them healthier than eating from fast food. Finally, teach people to do some exercises. For example, people should have also another subject with credit is called sports to teach them some good exercises for their health.

            To sum up, obesity in UAE can cause many problems, but with these remedies will reduce the causes as soon as possible. People should take care of them self to have a good lifestyle now and in the future.

 

Pirates

In these days most countries use ships to move their products all over the world. However, pirates from Somalia are attacking ships in the Indian Ocean. This essay will discuss the causes and solution of these problems.

Attacking and stealing ships is a serious problem. First of all, the pirates steal ships to survive their family needs. As a result Somalia is one of poorer countries in the world, so they don’t have enough food to survive. Another reason, the routes of ships are not monitoring by police who have a lot of threats and attacks from many people. The last important reason is the ships don’t changing the routes to avoid risk of ambush.

            There are three solutions of this problem. First solution is to give poor people some gifts and to their countries to reduce the attack from pirates. Another solution, for each country should be aware from the route threats for any ship, so the ships will move safer. The last solution is the ships should change the routes for every new mission sp that the pirates can’t make any ambush.

To sum up, pirate is a serious problem for attacking ships. The causes are poor people, ship route are not in safe. And ships not change their routes. The solutions of these problems are give poor people some gifts, monitoring the routes and change the route. I hope every ship uses these solutions.

Reasons for choosing a university

The chart shows 11 reasons why first year students from overseas chose a particular university. The survey of 1000 first year overseas students was carried out at universities in the UK. The top three reasons are language of tuition, quality of teacher, and up-to-date teaching facilities.

            According to the graph, the main reason is the language of tuition. At 95% of the sample, it was the main reason most students gave for choosing a university. The second biggest factor was quality of teachers, at 90%, followed by facilities, also at 90%.

For example, Qatar, Oman, the UAE and Saudi Arabia more than 2 times the amount of water was used for agriculture compared to domestic use which was the second most important use.

Ghosts

One dark and starry night in the desert of Liwa, I was camping with my classmates, and our teacher. Our teacher is giving us instructions of how to put up tents. While we were putting up, Eid made some weird sounds to make people afraid. Then, we started laughing, all of us.

            It was a magic lamp and someone came out covered with a lot of smoke. The teacher said “Guys don’t be afraid, it was just smoke there is inside”. We started running away without teacher. Suddenly, the smoke disappeared and someone was sitting with a weird face. The genie said angrily, who turned the lamp? My classmates were afraid and nobody answered. Suddenly, our teacher said “what do you want? I am not afraid of you. The genie started laughing and he said, DO you want to beat me? Our teacher had a quick meeting, and he said. Guys we should overcome this geine. We started planning and everyone took his place.

            Then our teacher said” Yes”. The genie moved to the teacher slowly. The teacher said, “Guys start the plan!” Eid threw water and khalied threw sand and rashid threw burning fire at him. After that, the genie made a weird sound and vanished. It was a really nice day with a lot of adventures. Also we learned how to make a good plan.
