Around the college

We are all students at Abu Dhabi Men's College.

We have to be in the classroom on time.

Physics and chemistry lessons take place in a laboratory.

There are no healthy food outlets in our canteen/cafeteria.

I read books and magazines and also do IELTS practice in our college library, which is large and well-stocked.

Student services organise activities for us.

The academic office performs many administrative tasks, such as issuing ID cards and arranging exam schedules.

There is a special learning centre in our library, called the Active Learning Zone, to provide students with extra help with their English.

Conferences and large meetings are often held in the college auditorium, which is also where we do our progress tests.

Ten countries in the bar chart


As you can see, the bar chart is showing in the horizontal line countries which are producing the dates and the vertical line the shows you the amount of the production in tonnes. This bar chart shows the production of dates in 2001 for 10 countries, so I’m going to explain this bar chart.
In 2001 the biggest producer of dates was Egypt which produced almost 1.1 million of tonnes. Iran was the second which produced less than Egypt by about 200,000 tonnes. Iraq and Pakistan were produced same amount of dates which was 630,000 tonnes. The UAE registed 900,000 tonnes and KSA 550,000 tonnes of dates. Algeria and Sudan produced less than 400,000 tonnes.

Eventually, as you can see, there are ten countries from the world in the bar chart. Three countries of these ten are the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia; the total production of those three was 1,700,000.

Comparing between 4 cars


As you can see this table has four different cars. Now in this essay I’m going to write the differences and the similarities about these cars.

The first similarity is the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Micra have the same origin country which is Japan and very close price. The Corolla price is $15,550 and the Nissan Micra price is $15,500. In addition the Ford Focus and the Nissan Micra are the most economical. The Ford Focus can do 50 miles per gallon but the Nissan Micra dose more than it by 2 miles per gallon.

There are a lot of differences between these four cars. One of them is the engine size, the Volkswagen Golf has 1600cc and the Nissan Micra has only 1200cc. The other difference is the Toyota Corolla can do 48 miles per gallon put the Volkswagen Golf does 8 miles less.

To sum up, I prefer to use the Toyota Corolla because, the price is not high and it’s a very economical car, also it has enough engine power.
