The line graph shows population growth in less developed countries and more developed countries between 1750 and 2150. Overall, less developed countries’ population increased much more than more developed countries in the past; also it is still growing in the present and it is expected to go up in the future.
The largest change was the dramatic rise in less developed countries from 1950 to 2000 to 6.1 billion. Moreover, the Population Reference Bureau estimates that less developed countries will have a huge population by 2150 of about 10 billion.
On the other hand, more developed countries’ population has increased slightly from 1750 to now. In the future it’s expected to remain the same to 2150 according to the United Nations World Population Prospects, the 1998 Revision, and estimated by the Population Reference Bureau.
In conclusion, there are big differences between more developed and less developed countries in population. Unfortunately, the huge increase is happening in poorer countries.

Economic Expansion Or Environmental Protection
Nowadays, people wonder how we will protect our environment while the economy is still dramatically growing. In this essay, I will show the benefits of the economic growth and the drawbacks of environmental impact; also I will argue about which one should be the first priority.
Economic growth has a lot of advantages for human life but it causes a lot of problems for our environment. First of all, it allows plenty of employment opportunities. As a result, these workers will have a better life for them and their families such as getting a good education for children and securing a safe life for them. Unfortunately, a lot of these jobs are dangerous for their health and life. For example, rural people in poorer countries are forced to work in mines and factories to earn some money. Furthermore, it causes an increase in charity and philanthropy from the richer countries.
On the other hand, many scientists believe that the environmental impact which is caused by economic expansion is a threat to the future of our planet. There is a lot of environmental impact but I will mention the most serious impacts which are global warming, the ozone hole and health problems. First, global warming; melting ice at the north and south poles of the world in turn will raise the sea level which can sink a lot of countries such as Holland and Maldives. Finally, all of these disasters cause serious health problems.
In conclusion, nowadays people encourage the economic growth for a better life. In my opinion, if the economy is still dramatically growing, we will lose our life and world.

Parking problems
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.

Hurricanes and Tornadoes
This table compares hurricanes and tornadoes. It shows different features of both of these types of storms.
First of all, a hurricane’s speed is between 74 pmh minimum to 200 pmh maximum. Its classification scale is Saffir-Simpson C1-C5. It also takes 1 week average. Furthermore, the width of this storm is 300 miles. Moreover, hurricanes can be predicted 2-3 days for a wide area. In addition, they start from warm oceans.
On the other hand, the tornadoes’ speed is between 40 pmh minimum to maximum 300 pmh. Its classification scale is Fujita F0-F5. But it takes only few hours maximum. However, tornadoes have a width of 100-600 meters and sometimes to 1.5 km, while it can be predicted for only 20 minutes or less. But it starts usually over land unlike a hurricane.
In conclusion, hurricanes look more dangerous than tornadoes according to the table features. They are bigger, affect a larger area and last longer than tornadoes.
