Traffic congestion and parking problems are the most difficult problem Abu Dhabi faced during the past five years. In this essay. I will show the problems and possible solution.
First of all, the main cause is the population which has increased rapidly in the last years. Moreover, Abu Dhabi has economic development which means each family who is living in Abu Dhabi has more than one car. The next problem is that in the summer season the weather is not appropriate for walking or biking under high temperature. Furthermore, there is a lack of adequate public transport.
There are many causes which affect these problems but also there are many solutions. And now let me talk about some of the solutions. First make sure each building has adequate parking. Another solution is to improve the public transportation and this will make the number of vehicles become low. Yet another possibility is for the authorities, as in Singapore, to make motoring more expensive, through higher registration fees, restrictions on where and when motorists may use their cars, etc. The last point is to raise the age of license holders.
In conclusion, there are many problems facing Abu Dhabi about the traffic congestion and parking. So there are many solutions we have to work with.

Age of Marriage
The bar chart shows the fall in the percentage of girls aged 15-19 who are married in six Arab countries. The table shows the age of first marriage for men and women in 14 countries, also the table shows that, in all 12 countries the average age of marriage for women was low to mid twenties and for men middle to high twenties.
In the bar graph the percentage of 15-19 year olds who are married has fallen in six Arab countries. The most striking fall is in the UAE, from 57% in 1975 to 8% in 1995.
Also, a most dramatic fall is in Kuwait, from 38% in 1970 to 5% in 1996
In conclusion, the only countries to come into view in both bar chart and table are the UAE, Kuwait and Palestine. The table shows that in 2000 the average age of marriage for women in the UAE was 23.1.

Mobile phones and driving
In the last decade using mobile phone while driving increased the percentage of car accidents. In this essay, I’m going to discuss banning mobile phones while driving.
In fact, every argument has two sides, agreeing and disagreeing. Using mobile phones while driving is a common habit with businessmen. For example, my father is a businessman and had an accident four years ago but thank God it wasn’t serious. Nowadays, all people adults and children are using BlackBerry phones, which is very dangerous because people use them for their messenger.
The real reason for this is because people who use their mobile phones while driving are careless in driving, so, in order to solve this problem, using them while driving should be banned by traffic laws.
In addition to that, awareness programs should be held by the government towards the society in order to improve the awareness in driving; this should play a huge role in improving the traffic system in the city.
Finally, the government should force the mobile companies to make useful inventions that can be implemented in cars so that people won’t need to use their hands for mobile usage while driving.
In conclusion, I hope that the percentage of car accidents will decrease after presenting those possible solutions, and my personal opinion is that governments have the upper hand in solving this problem.

UK budget 1996
The total budget of the UK government in 1996 was £315 billion. This pie chart shows what the government spent the money on. There are ten separate categories shown on the chart.
The biggest item by far was social security. At £100 billion, this was almost twice as much as the next category, health and personal services. Next came education with £38 billion and defence with £22 billion. There was less than £20 billion spent on the next three categories, which were: first, law and order; next, industry, agriculture and employment; then, housing, heritage and environment. Transport had the smallest budget, with £9 billion. Debt interest was £25 billion and other expenditure was £23 billion.
The outstanding feature of the pie chart is that expenditure on social security, £100 billion, was almost as much as the total for the next three categories: health, education and defence, £113 billion.
