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.
