Years ago, there weren’t many televisions in peoples’ home. Nowadays, however, all people use television in their lives.
Using television is essential during the life. People are divided into many types in watching T.V. The old people like watching world news which gives them new details about the peace and wars all over the world. Additionally, the young people like watching sport, like football and movies like cinema movies. From that channel, they know about the result of football teams in the world and more about information about sport. Also, they get new stories from movies which help them to think more about what will go on in the world. The last thing is the children; they like cartoons and learn many things from them such as shapes, numbers, and names of many things that they see.
On the other hand, T.V has many negative effects on people and many places using T.V during their lives. When old people use T.V during their time, they don’t pay attention to their children. Also the adults learn many things that are not good for them to know in this age such as bad action, behavior from movies. Finally children are more affected than the others. At their age, they watch T.V a long time which affects their eyes and they learn from cartoons many things that support them to jump from buildings, use a knife and so on.
In summary, people can watch T.V but they should be careful which programs they and their children watch.

A woman'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
This graph shows the number of farms and all farm workers in the U.S during the period 1910-2000.
There is an obvious relationship between farms and farm workers which is that at all times the number of workers is more than the number of farms. In 1910, there were above 6 million farms but the number of workers was between 13 million and 14 million. Over the next 20 years, the number of farms increased slightly, whereas the number of workers fell slightly. The number of farms declined steadily over the next 40 years by about a half but the number of workers plummeted dramatically from over 12 million to just over 4 million. From 1970 until 2000, the number of both farms and farm workers decreased gradually.
To sum up, the workers and farms decreased year by year. But the decrease of farm workers was more dramatic over the years.

Mobiles in the classroom
Years ago, there weren’t many mobile phones in students’ hands during the classes. Nowadays, however, all students use mobile phones and laptops in their studies.
Using mobile phones is essential during the classes. In an emergency situation, students need mobile phones to contact with other to solve their problems. For example if there are many problems that happen with a student in class, they can try to contact with the first one who can help them. More examples are if somebody is waiting for me or sending emails. Furthermore, most students use mobile phones to calculate in math class and as a dictionary when they have any strange words.
On the other hand, mobile phones have many negative effects on students and many schools bans using mobile phones during classes. When students use mobile phones during the class, they don’t pay attention to the lesson from the teacher. Also students affect their grades by chatting, talking and playing games.
In summary, students can bring their mobile phones but they should make them silent. They also should not use it during the class without permission from the teacher

Traffic congestion and parking problems
Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE which is a big city. In all cities, people have traffic and parking problems. This essay discusses what solutions there are to these problems.
The main cause is the population has increased fast which is the first problem. The second problem is Abu Dhabi has economic development which means each family who is living in Abu Dhabi has more than one car. The next problem is in the summer season when the weather is not appropriate for walking or biking under high temperature. The last problem is lack of adequate public transport.
Although there are many problems, there are many solutions. The first solution is each building or tower should have adequate parking to reduce of parking problems. If every city improves their public transport, there will be fewer traffic problems. The next solution is every government should raise the age of licence holders which will reduce the amount of young drivers. The last solution is improving the existing road system:bridges overpasses and underpasses. For example, the government of Abu Dhabi has discussed creating the new bridges which will increase the number of entrance and exit roads.
As a result, these problems need to be solved by some solutions such as each building and tower should have enough parking which is an appropriate solution to reduce the parking issue. The next obvious solution is creating adequate exiting and entrances.

Water shortages in the UAE
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.
