Obesity in the UAE

In these days, obesity in the UAE has increased and changed a lot within 20 years. The solution for obesity should start with the people themselves then the governments.

   Starting with problem that causes obesity, one is a change in diet. People think that fast food is one of reasons for diet. Also, our special traditional food is available all the time and everywhere. A further cause by the change in lifestyle. People are less active and don’t do exercise or physical work. Young people can eat outside home and can spend more money on food. Another issue is that people nowadays are lacking the knowledge about good eating habits and are not aware of good nutrition. Children are fed too much and the family keeps them at home where they should take them to the park to do some exercise. In society the attitude to food is not giving the awareness to people.

   Fortunately, there are effects for this dangerous addiction. One answer is to budget the amount of money spent on unhealthy food, people should know what to eat and avoid fast food. People should change their lifestyle and do some exercises. They must concentrate on their health. Society should educate people about healthy eating, especially young people.

   To conclude, addiction to obesity is a widespread disease, but with the right habit, it can be changed and cured. Society should take the responsibility to change this within people and people must know what to eat.

Car parking cause and effect

      Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE. Many locals and tourists are visiting the city. This leads to parking problems in Abu Dhabi. This essay will discuss the cause and effect of this matter.

     There are many reasons why we suffer parking problems every day. One of those is the rapid growth of population. The number of cars increased. Another point is that people have more than one car, which are taking more space. The increase of transport cars and company cars also causes parking problems. Sometimes, new buildings or new projects can lead to parking problems where some projects will close some parking that make a parking jam.

    Parking problem also has many effects. One of the most important problems is long delays in getting to and from work when it’s hard to find parking. A farther point is that it can lead to traffic jams. Finally, these problems make the person angry and impatient due to difficulty in finding parking.

Reason for Choosing University

The chart shows 11 reasons why first year students from overseas chose a particular university. The survey of 1,000 first year overseas students was carried out at universities in the UK. The top three reasons are language of tuition, quality of teachers, 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%.

Non-teaching factors were also important. Tuition cost were quoted as a reason by 75%, and location was mentioned by 75% of students. The cost of accommodation is also an important factor for 80% of respondents. Almost two-thirds of students said that the friendliness of the university was important.

In conclusion the various factors can be divided into two groups, namely those related to teaching and non-teaching related. However, the most important are the language and the teachers.

Problems

       People can’t fix problems with another problem. This story happened to me last year.

       I went to Abu Dhabi Mall with my wife to buy things for our home needs. We went at night which was the day before my son’s birthday. It was crowded with people from all nationalities. Suddenly I saw police officer catching two men that looked like they had a fight. I asked one of the people there about what happened. He told me that one of the men was harassing the daughter of the other man. Then he rad to the man and slapped him and they fought until the police came to the location and stop the fight. After a while they fought again in the parking yard. Then, the police rushed to them and took them to jail because of the problems they made. People were shocked and surprised of what had happened in there. At the end no one found anything good with what happened except problems.

   If you face any problem like these don’t panic and don’t go to the conclusions immediately. Report to police and control the situation. In case the other person wanted to fight you, don’t try to be polite, you’ll be beaten down. Hold him or fight back until the police come to the location

Misspelling Problems

     The story is about how misspelling just one letter led to a big misunderstanding which can lead to big problems.

     Mr. and Mrs. Jonas celebrated their wedding. Mr. Jonas told his wife that he would fly out for business. After that he flew and when he reached he went to the hotel. Then he put his luggage on the bed. After that he opened the windows and because the sun was hot he had to go inside. He noticed that there was a laptop on the table. Then he wrote an email to his wife describing how he was doing. But he sent the email to the wrong person first. After that he sent the email again to his wife. On the other hand, Mrs. Jones and her son were visiting Mr. Jones’s graveyard after burying him. Mrs. Jones and her son went home and sat on the sofa. After that he handed the laptop to his mother while he went to the kitchen to make coffee. She checked the emails and found strange email. Then she read the mistaken email and had a heart attack. Then her son ran to her and found her lying on the ground. After that she pointed to her laptop. She died when her son was readying the email.

     This is an example of the problem caused by one letter’s misspelling. One solution to the sender is to save the important or family contacts so the sender doesn’t have to write the type it every time. A suggestion to the receiver, before getting the idea checks where it came from.

Scary Story

      There are different creatures in this world, human, Jinns and angels. Many people don't believe in them because they don't see them. I'm going to to tell a small story that happened with me about jinns.

     Many years ago, we planned to go to Salala with friends. We started our journey from Abu Dhabi going to Oman. After crossing the borders we faced a route which wasn't on the map. We saw someone sitting near the turn. He was strange by his looks. He just pointed to the direction when we asked him fir the way to Salala. We took the route he showed us but it was weird because we were the only car on this road and we thought it was longer. By the sunset, we felt tired and needed to rest. We found a small house that no one was living in. We parked our car and went in there to rest. When I just put my head down to get some sleep I heard someone coughing, I asked my friends, but they said no one was coughing. We were frightened a bit. Suddenly the coughing increased and started to be louder. We went out to our car. We saw a horse with a headless horseman with a scythe in his hand. We ran into our car and drove as far as we could. The horseman was following us until we reached the village.

    The was the most horrible night and I wish it won't happen again. We did't continue our journey to Salala, we went back to our homes.

Online and face-to-face courses

         Science is one of the necessary things for the human's life. Teaching science varies from student to the other. Some get  the information immediately and others need time. Nowadays, Science is taught face-to-face or by online method. Of course studying online has advantages and disadvantages and the same goes for face-to-face.I'm going compare the similarities and differences between each of them, as because many colleges uses online courses nowadays.

          I'm going to write the similarities and the advantages for face-to-face and online courses. Face to face has things that it's the same as online instruction. In both ways, students should have ID and need to register before attending. Both gives knowledge and learning methods to students. Also, both require materials for studying like stationaries and note books. Finally, students need to attend and time for every class to finish the course.

         Some people think online courses and face to face both are the same. However, something in face to face method is better than online and the opposite. Having courses face to face is better if you are doubtful about something and you have questions you want to ask while online you can't do. Online courses are better because you don't need to go to class to attend courses.

     In my opinion, I think face to face courses are better than online courses. First online courses cost less money than face to face. Also, students will feel better attending courses with other students and they may ask questions or ask the instructor fin case they need farther information.The spirit of studying is online available in a group of students in class.

    Their are similarities that didn't change the UAE in the past. People religion hasn't changed and still they go to the Mosque to do prayer and we fast on Ramadan. Some of our traditional clothes are still being worn. The culture of Arab and Emarati hasn't changed and still being used nowadays.

The food was very little and they didn't have any food coming from outside countries, with the foreign people we're getting food and recipes from all other countries.


   Finally, on both side with the time passing and the changes of the country, there will always be things that will never change. I <3 UAE.
