In the TV shows they cut the programs to advertise some things for people. The advertisements are usually good for people, but there are advertisements which are not good because they are only for adults.
The positive thing for advertisements in first point is some companies show their goods for people to buy. The second point is for people who are in show. For example, they give money for people who do the show. The third point, some of the advertisements are good for children. For example, some shows teach the children how to respect the oldest people. Finally, there are some shows not for the youngest but for the adults and the TV shows these advertisements for money only.
The negative points for TV Advertisements are, first, some women in shows are not fully clothed. So you can see their charms and this point is not for men who are married. The second point is, some advertisements are too silly. For example, the advertisements that for chocolate when the man eat the chocolate, he gets more energy and helps the people without permission. So the children will learn that when you eat this chocolate you can help people without permission.
In summary, there are advantages and disadvantages for TV advertisements. Some you can show for children and some not.

A Women's Role
Is a woman’s proper role in society to pursue a career or to be a mother and wife?
Traditionally a woman’s role has been as a mother and wife. However, more and more women worldwide are being educated to a high level and are pursuing careers. Does this pose a threat to the upbringing of young children and to social stability?
There are many reasons why a woman should be at home to look after her children. Children need their mother’s love and attention. A mother substitute, like a maid, however caring, cannot provide the same emotional support that a child needs. In addition, a maid may not speak the child’s language and there may well be cultural differences. A mother plays a crucial role in developing her child’s language and cultural awareness. Even worse, if there is no mother and no maid at home, children will feel neglected.
On the other hand, women have an important role to play in society. If intelligent women want to pursue careers, why should they not have the same opportunity to do so as men? Women have a lot to offer to society, which would be poorer if they couldn’t do so. In the West, it is generally accepted that women have the choice of whether to pursue a career or not. Of course there are more traditional societies where this is more difficult.
In an ideal world, a woman should be able to pursue a career and also have time to bring up a family, but it’s not an easy task to get the balance right.

US Farms & Farm Workers
The graph compares farms and farm workers in the US for 90 years from 1910 to 2000.
The graph shows the number of farm workers was always bigger than the number of farms. In 1910, the number of farm workers was more than 13 million and the farms were between 6 and 7 million. There were more farm workers and fewer farms. In 1950, the number decreased from nearly 14 million to 10 million farm workers; also, the number of farms decreased. And because of the devlopment in the US the people found other jobs to do. So, in 2000, the number of farm workers decreased from 10 million to 3 million and this is a big difference. Between 1950 and 2000 in farms also, the number decreased from around 6 million to 2 million farms.
In summary, the number of farm workers is always bigger than the number of farms. The devlopment played a big part in the world and in the numbers of farms.

Mobiles in the classroom
In the past, there were no mobile phones in the classroom. The mobile phones were an expensive tool, no one could have them. Today, everybody has at least one mobile phone. I will outline the positive and negative things about mobile phones in the classroom.
The first positive point is if the student is waiting for an emergency call to receive. However, keeping the phone on silent is a good idea to not distract the teacher. The second point, there is a calculator in the cell phones. So the student can use the calculator.The third point is some mobile phones have a dictionary you can download any language and also help some students. Some students use their mobile phones to send an e-mail to the teacher and this is the fourth point.
On the other hand, the negatives start with students who are using the mobile phones to chat with friends during the class. Also, some of them are talking during the teacher’s explanation of the lesson. The third point is some phones have 3D games and the students are playing games in the classroom while the teacher is there. Finally, using mobile phones during the class will affect the GPA of the students. They will not pay attention to the explanation of the teacher.
In summary, there are positive and negative points for everything in the world and I wrote the positive and negative points about the mobile phones during the class in front of the teacher and it is forbidden and not respectable.

Abu Dhabi Congestion
Abu Dhabi is a big city. It is the capital of the UAE. In all cities in the world there are traffic and parking problems.
The main cause is the population has increased. This is the first cause for traffic and parking problems. Not all people have a car, but in Abu Dhabi every home has more than one car. The second cause is economic development. There are more commercial vehicles .Also, the weather in summer is not helping people to use the cycles for transport. Finally, parking is the big cause of traffic congestion. There are not enough parking spaces for people to park their cars.
On the other hand, the solutions for these problems are as follows. Make sure each building has adequate parking. Each apartment should have parking. Also, improving public transport will help the government to solve the problem. For example increase the number of buses or build a metro to decrease the number of car users. One solution is to raise the age of license holders. In Abu Dhabi most accidents involve young people aged 18 to 24. Finally, the last solution is to improve the existing road system. Like build more bridges, overpasses and underpasses.
In conclusion, the main problem is the parking. And the best solution is to build the parking buildings. Also, improve the public transport like raise the number of buses and build a metro, but I think a metro will cost more and buses are the best idea to solvethe problems.

Water Shortages In The UAE
The UAE is a desert country, with very little annual rainfall, and so there is a constant problem of water shortage.
The most obvious reason for the shortage of water is the rapid population growth. More people means more food and this has led to a growing demand for an increase in agricultural production, which in turn means more irrigation and therefore more water. In addition, the economy of the country has expanded enormously over the past 50 years. Industrialization has greatly increased the demand for water. The climate of the UAE makes it difficult to meet the increased demand for water. There is very little rainfall and no surface water. Wastage of water and leaking water pipes make the situation worse.
Desalination is perhaps the most obvious solution. It’s expensive but the UAE is a rich country. Similarly, making better use of underground water is not cheap but it would help to answer to the problem. Dams to store water when it does rain have already been built in Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah. Charging people more for water, educational programmes in schools and colleges, and national advertising campaigns could also raise public awareness of the problem.
In practice, the UAE gets most of its fresh water from desalination plants. This is the most obvious short-term solution. In the long run, however, raising public awareness of the problem and encouraging people to use water more responsibly is the most important factor in solving the problem of water shortages.

Hurricanes & Tornadoes
There are many winds in the world. There are differences between them in speed, average width of storm, and starting point. I will write about hurricanes and tornadoes.
For starters, hurricanes are speedier than tornadoes. The minimum speed for a hurricane is 74 mph and the maximum speed between 155-200 mph; however for a tornado the minimum speed is 40 mph and the maximum speed between 250-300 mph. The duration for the hurricane is one week average, while, for a tornado it lasts mostly a few minutes, and some up to a few hours. The width of a hurricane is 300 miles, whereas that of a tornado is about 100-600 meters. The hurricane starts over warm oceans, but the tornado usually over land.
In summary, there are differences between the hurricanes and tornadoes. A tornado is stronger than a hurricane in terms of wind speed.

Cars
There are many car companies in the world. The saloon cars are good cars. I am going to write about four different family cars.
The Volkswagen Golf is more expensive than the Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus, and Nissan Micra. The Volkswagen Golf is made in Germany and costs about $18250. The Toyota Corolla is made in Japan, the same as the Nissan Micra and the price for both is about the same $15500. The Ford Focus is made in the USA and costs about $15800. The Volkswagen Golf has the biggest size engine at 1600cc and it is a reasonably economical car, doing about 40 miles per gallon. The Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus have the same engine size, about 1400cc, and are nearly the same in fuel economy. The smallest engine size is 1200cc and the most economical car is the Nissan Micra.
In summary, the Volkswagen Golf is the best car in the engine size and fuel economy. I hope that the comparison is clear and not difficult to understand

top dates
Top Date-Producing Countries, 2001
In the world there are many countries producing dates. The bar chart shows Egypt the first country in producing dates in 2001.
In the 2001 research for producing dates, Egypt comes first and Iran comes second. But, Egypt is the only country which produced more than 1 million tonnes. The other countries produced less than 1 million tonnes. Algeria, Libya, Oman, and Sudan produced in 2001 nearly 850,000 tonnes and Iran produced the same as those countries combined. The UAE comes third in producing dates. Saudi Arabia comes after the UAE. The difference between them is approximately twenty five thousands tonnes. Pakistan and Iraq have the same production in tonnes.
In summary, the dates are most popular in those ten countries. There are many benefits of the dates. For this reason, these countries produce a lot of them. In 2001 Egypt came in first place in the list of countries that produced the dates.

THE UK BUDGET FOR 1996
The UK government budget in 1996 was £315 billion. This pie chart shows what the government spent the money on, divided into ten categories.
The government spent most money, by far, on social security, £100 billion. This was almost twice as much as the next category, health, which cost £53 billion. Education cost £38 billion. These three categories accounted for 60% of the UK government’s budget. The other 40% comes in the following order: debt interest, other expenditure, defence, law and order, housing and the environment, industry and employment, and transport.
The most striking feature of the chart is that social security and health expenditure combined accounted for almost a half of the UK budget in 1996.
