Traffic congestion and parking problems in Abu Dhabi




Now in these days many countries have traffic congestion and parking problems and the UAE is one of them, mainly Abu Dhabi, so in this essay I’m going to discuss these problems and try to solve them.

One cause of parking and traffic congestion is the increasing population. Another cause is many tourists in Abu Dhabi. They need to transfer from one place to other places, so they need to use taxies. Especially in summer no one can walk, because the temperature is reaching more than 45°C. One more cause is the female and younger drivers, because the females are driving too carefully. On the other hand the younger drivers are driving without caring and with high speed in the town, so this can cause accidents, so it will make traffic congestion. The last cause is the industry/commerce can cause these problems because they are using the port to import and export the cargo and to deliver these things they need cars, vans or trucks.
For every problem there are solutions, so for traffic congestion and parking there are many solutions. One of these is overpasses or underpasses. Also the metro will help to reduce the traffic congestion, because many people will use it to transfer from one place to other especially in the town. Also to reduce traffic parking they need to build underground parking or floors for each tower in the downtown. One more solution for traffic congestion and parking is to relocate government departments / colleges etc. from the down town to site off the island.

To sum up, traffic congestion and parking problems are everywhere in the world but I see that the best solution is to relocate government from the downtown, so it will be helpful to reduce these problems.

Age of Marriage


We have two graphs which is showing changes in ages of marriage and the age are of first marriage, so in the essay I’m going to choose two countries and write about them, namely the UAE and Kuwait.

The most dramatic feature of the bar graph is the fall in the % of 15-19 years old girls being married from 57% in 1975 to 8% in 1995 in the UAE. This is confirmed by the chart which tells us that in 2000 the average age of marriage for women in the UAE is 23.1 years. This fall in the number of teenage brides is a similar trend in all 6 Arab countries in the bar graph.

The table shows the age of first marriage in all 14 countries was low to mid 20s for women and mid to high twenties for men.

Compare and contrast between hurricanes and tornadoes



As you can see this table is showing two things which are hurricanes and tornadoes. Now in this essay I’m going to explain and to write about the differences and the similarities between them.

First of all there are very few similarities between the tornadoes and the hurricanes. One of these similarities is both of them will damage and will coast very high amounts to repair every thing to make it the same as before it hit the towns and villages. One more similarity is neither hurricanes nor tornadoes can be controlled.

There is a lot of differences in this table which are the minimum wind speed of the tornadoes is 40 mph where as a hurricane is minimum wind speed is more than the tornadoe's by 30 mph, but the maximum wind speed of the tornadoes is from 250 to 300 mph while the hurricanes' maximum wind speed is from 155 to 200 mph. One more difference is that the tornadoes can hit for 20 minutes or less but the hurricanes can hit between 2 to 3 days for a wind area but it can usually be predicted more exactly where hurricanes will hit 6-10 hours beforehand.

Finally, as you can see this table is showing a lot of details for the tornadoes and hurricanes.
