Using a mobile phone while driving is one of the most important reasons for the increasing traffic accidents, as research refers to this.
First I will begin with the arguments which are against the statement. The main argument is that most people need to phone most of the time and it cannot be abandoned, especially businessmen. Another argument is that mobile phones help to solve problems in the fastest time and from anywhere. Yet another argument is that mobile phones are an important part of life and are indispensable, especially in the present time.
There are also a number of arguments that support the statement. The main argument is that using a mobile phone while driving is causing major accidents where the driver was not paying attention to the road when he used the phone while driving. Another argument is that if the driver was waiting for a call while driving and could not reply then it may lead to tension which leads to the driver causing accidents. Research indicates that the percentage of deaths due to traffic accidents as a result of use of mobile phones while driving in the UAE is very high; therefore we must put stringent laws for the use of mobile phones while driving so that we reduce these incidents.
In conclusion I think that the road will be safer when you prevent the use of phones while driving

Traffic congestion and parking problem in Abu Dhabi
Nowadays, Abu Dhabi is suffering from traffic congestion and parking problems. The government wants to solve this problem. In this essay I will show you the causes of this problem and give you some solutions for it.
One of the main reasons for this problem is the increase of the population in Abu Dhabi. An additional problem is the climate in Abu Dhabi. People often use cars rather than walking because it’s too hot; also the fog during the morning causes low visibility on the road and it’s very possible to cause a traffic jam and accident. Another issue is the construction of new buildings can cause congestion due to the trucks in the town. Another factor is that the number of women driving cars has increased as well as younger drivers.
There are several solutions to this problem. One solution is to create a modern public transportation which connects all parts of Abu Dhabi with each other like metro and bus stations. Another solution is we can put huge fines on the person who has more than one car. Yet another solution is that we can relocate the major places outside Abu Dhabi such as the ministries, universities and colleges.
In conclusion, the best solution is to use a metro. This will solve both problems, traffic congestion and parking problems. In my opinion relocating government departments and colleges is a good solution but it will cost too much. I hope that traffic congestion will disappear in the near future.

Age of Marriage
The bar graph shows the decline, over the past few decades, in the percentage of women aged 15-19 who are married in six selected Arab countries. The table gives us the age of first marriage for men and women in twelve Arab countries, plus Turkey and Iran.
From the chart graph we figure out that the percentage of women between fifteen and nineteen who are married has fallen during the past few decades. The UAE had the most dramatic fall in the percentage of young women who are married, followed by Libya and Kuwait.
In the table graph the figures show that the ages of men who got married for first time are between mid twenties and late twenties and for the ages of women who got married are between early twenties and mid twenties.
The bar chart shows the percentage of women aged 15-19 who are married has fallen in all 6 Arab countries. The second graph seems to confirm this because in all countries the age of marriage for women was the early twenties, rather than the teens. In all countries men get married at the late age

Hurricanes & 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 Tornadoes differ from Hurricanes by the place they originate from. Tornadoes are triggered on land at first while hurricanes start over warm oceans. The prediction scales used to compare those two are the Saffir- Simpson C1- C5 which measures hurricanes and the Fujita F0 – F5 which measures tornadoes. Hurricanes usually have a range of 300 miles while tornadoes range between 100 to 600 meters and up to 1.5 kilometers. At minimum speed Tornadoes seem to be slower than hurricanes however when referring to the maximum velocity they appear to overcome the hurricanes with a speed of 250 – 300 miles per hour.
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

Car specifications
This table shows us some of the specifications of the four new car models. Now, in this essay I’m going to describe their details.
The four cars have some features that distinguish them from each other. The cars are the Toyota Corolla, the Volkswagen Golf, the Ford Focus and the Nissan Micra. Both the Toyota Corolla and the Nissan Micra are manufactured in Japan and their price is nearly the same; the Toyota is $ 15,550 and the Nissan $ 15,500. Another difference between them is their engine size and their miles per gallon. The Nissan Micra engine is 1200cc and it does 52 miles per gallon whereas the Toyota engine’s was 1400cc and it does 48 miles per gallon. The Volkswagen Golf is manufactured in Germany and costs $ 18,250. Its engine size is 1600cc and it does 40 miles per gallon. The last type is the Ford Focus. It is imported from the USA and costs $ 15,800. It does 50 miles per gallon and its engine is 1400cc.
The most expensive car and the least economical, the VW Golf, has the biggest engine. The car with the smallest engine, unsurprisingly, is the cheapest and most economical.

The Top ten date- producing countries , 2001
The bar graph shows date production in tonnes for the world’s top producers in 2001. It shows the top ten date-producing countries.
Egypt is considered as the best and the biggest producer and its production exceeded one million tonnes. This is immediately followed by Iran with approximately 0.9 million. Following them the UAE and Saudi Arabia are competing with about 740,000 tonnes each. Pakistan and Iraq were not very far behind the advanced producers with about 630,000 tonnes. The rest were not much in terms of total productivity. Algeria provides the world every year with approximately 400,000 tonnes and Oman about 250,000 tonnes. However, production in Libya and Sudan is much less abundant.
In the end Egypt and Iran were the most productive in 2001. On the other hand, Libya and Sudan were the least productive.

Budget of the UK in 1996
The pie chart describes how much money the U.K. government spent on various categories in 1996.
The chart shows you that most of what it spent was on social security: that was £100 billion. It’s the biggest part of the total budget. Health and personal social services cost about half of what was spent on social security. They spent on it £53 billion. Next came education with £38 billion and defence with £22 billion. The U.K. government spent about £40 billion on the next three categories which were: first, law and order, second, transport, finally, industry, agriculture and employment. Housing, heritage and environment was £15 billion; it was the smallest category apart from transport.Debt interest was £25 billion and the other expenditure was £23 billion.
As you can see, the salient features of the pie chart are that the U.K. government didn’t spend a lot on transportation compared with the other categories.
