Etisalat argument


I believe the companies like Etisalat in each country control the internet. In the UAE, Etisalat blocks some of the websites to control media content .However, in some countries they can access any sites they want. In this essay I will discuss both sides of the topic whether control of media is good or not.

People who support what Etisalat does believe that blocking the bad websites is useful for children .For example, children can access websites that effect our Islamic principles. Some people think that blocking these websites is a good way to keep people thinking about good things only. For example, the students can do their research without thinking to enter another sites. Control of the media is a good way so, you can leave your children alone while watching TV.

On the other hand some people who support open media think that they will learn more information about the world . For instance, they will know more about policies of other states. Open media gives you the chance to expand your knowledge about another cultures. If you travel you will not offend the customs of the country. Also, some of the people who support open media think that they can have several relations on the Net. This can help them in their practical life.

In conclusion, there are strong arguments both for against open media. I believe the points in favor to keep blocking sites is stronger than those against.

Argument Examinations


Examinations are one way to assess students which are used at schools and universities all over the world. Some people believe that examinations are fair way to judge their skills and knowledge. In this essay I will discuss both sides of the topic wither exams are a fair assessment or not.
People who support banning exams believe that it’s making the students nervous and stressed about taking exams .For example, the student got poor grads .Some people think that exams are an fair way to assess knowledge and using graded homework is better. Taking exam is not a good way for a complete evaluation of a student’s and abilities .For instant the teacher knows the level of students who deal with him in class.
On the other hand some people believe that taking exams are a good incentive for students to study and review course materials .For example, students study hard for exams. People who support exams think that the exams are a fair assessment. For example, the same test is used for all students and the same time is given. Some people think that the exams help students to know what they understand and don’t understand of the course content .If they are study for exam and stuck in some points they ask the teacher to explain the points again.
In conclusion ,there are strong arguments both for and against banning exams. I believe the points in favor of using examinations are stronger than those against.

Changes in Milk Consumption in USA (1950 – 2000)


The graph compares annual consumption of low fat and whole milk in liters per person in the second half of the 20th century in USA. Overall, Americans drink much less milk now than at the start of the period.
The biggest change was the dramatic drop in total milk consumption. It fell from about 130 liters per person in 1950 to only around 90 liters five decades later. The second major was in the type of milk drunk. At the beginning, whole milk was more popular at 120 liters, but it fell sharply to about a quarter that by 2000. In contrast, the amount of low fat milk consumed shot up. It rose from roughly 10 liters in 1950 to five times that in 1980, when consumption was almost tied with whole milk.
In conclusion, the American diet with regard to dairy changes significantly over the time represented. Total consumption decreases but low-fat finally outranks whole milk.

argument:animal testing


Have you ever considered the fact that every year millions of animals undergo painful death as a result of scientific research? While most people think animal testing is necessary, others are upset by what they see as needless suffering. This essay outlines some of the arguments for and against animal testing.
First, let’s look at the advantages. One very positive point is that many medical treatments and procedures have been developed from such experiments. Since animals share many features with humans, scientists use animals to test the safety and effectiveness of newly developed drugs. Moreover, there is a large supply of animals. Some, such as mice and rats, have many babies, and there is no danger of extinction for these species. Finally some advocates think that animals are less valuable than people. If there is a mistake, it will not cost a human life.
However there are also a number of arguments against animal testing. Perhaps the most important is that animals may be suffering unnecessarily. Critics do not believe that every new drug needs to be tested on animals. Furthermore, some feel animal testing is ineffective; they point out that many drugs still have to be withdrawn from the market despite extensive testing. Last, some campaigners would like to see alternative used. They feel more humane testing is possible and, too, that we could rely more on organ donors.
In conclusion, we need to ensure that animals used for experimental purposes do not suffer much pain. Although some animal testing may be unavoidable at present, treating our fellow creatures mercifully will demonstrate our humanity.

Illegal Drugs


There are many things which affect countries around the world, one of these is the use of illegal drugs. Although illegal drugs use is a serious problem, there are many ways to solve this situation. In this essay I will discuss the problems of drug use on society, and then suggest some solutions to this problem.
One of the major problems with illegal drugs is the health effects, so you can see the person who deals with the illegal drugs always suffering from different diseases like physical sickness and mental. He also becomes unable to do any work because he always feels tired. The second serious problem is crime associated with buying and selling drugs. People need money to buy drugs so they often steel to get the money and this is another illegal activity. Addicts also may turn to drug dealing which further compounds the problem. Drugs abuse is a vicious circle which affects many people in this world. In addition, drugs lead to social problems. The society and families refused addicts people so those people feels that they are not welcomed and try to make problems.
On the other hand, there are many solutions to this problem. The first solution in this battle is strong law used by police to stop these people. The second solution is to advise people and distribute booklets and brochures among people to increase knowledge and understanding. Also government should make special hospitals for these people, that hospital is more sociological than physical to rehabilitation the adductors.
In conclusion, it is very important issue that we cannot ignore it at all because it affects us and will effect the coming generation. If solution applied by governments I believe that problem will be minimized.

Problems & solution in Abu Dhabi


Abu Dhabi the capital of the UAE is one of the greatest cities in the world. Abu Dhabi as many world parts faces the problem of rapid growth of population. Nowadays Abu Dhabi is one of the most crowded cities in the word due to the population enlarging and the cars number boost.
The first problem that faces Abu Dhabi is the daily traffic jam especially in the rush hour of the morning due to the stating time of governmental departments, private companies and schools which start at the same time. The second serious problem is parking, because the number of the cars is too much compared with parking area.
In my opinion solutions suggested would be that government must organizing working starts hour for different sector to avoid these crowded. The government should control the parking by doing buildings for parking that can carry big number of cars and took small area.
In conclusion, there are many problems in the life but we can solve it all if we just think for a while. Only a little time for thinking will make our life easier.

my holiday


This vacation I went to Egypt for the fourth time. My brother and his friend invited me to go with them. I agreed because I always find fun when I travel with them. As usual we have fun and interesting time in the nine days we stayed there. For me I have a big problem with the weather which was very cold. Fortunately my brother brought many heavy clothes with him so I borrow some from him. I also insist to stay in closed spaces to avoid the cold wind. The trip overall was fascinating and we intend to go there next year too. Next time when I intend to go anywhere in winter I will ask about the weather first to be prepared.

english 125 course


Clockwise spins, the days pass and years go away as you see we are at the end of 2009 and the semester is about to finish. In this essay I want to put my comments on this course.
Overall this course was very successful for me. In this course I learned many new things that raised my skills like writing, reading and listening. Now I am able to write an essay that we compare between two things after we took compression writings. Also I can write an essay that gives you the steps of something you want to do, which are procedure and process writings. The two writings have some differences between them such as the tense, in process we must use the passive voice and the procedure writing which was in the present simple tense. At the beginning of this semester I did narrative writings which have to be in the past tense to continue a storey or write about something happen for someone in the past. Reading also was a very weak point for most of us at the beginning of the semester. At the beginning of the semester I had some difficulty with the time which was not enough but now I learn how to read faster. The first lessening was terrible for me because I thought that each part repeated twice same as foundation but it was not. Now I have the ability to understand and do well in exams.
As a conclusion, I want to thank our teacher Mr. Gregory who dealt with us as our big brother and he taught us many new things that will help us in our future.

coffee


Coffee is a very popular drink around the world. People drink it all times of the day. There are several kinds of coffee, but I am now going to describe how instant coffee is produced.
First, the coffee beans are picked from trees and dried in the sun. Then, the beans are roasted and then cooled rapidly before being ground. The beans are then mixed with hot water and the mixture is strained before it is frozen. Finally, the frozen mixture is ground and then dried in a vacuum before it is packed into jars. The coffee is now ready to be sold in shops in shops.
Instant coffee is not quite as good as real coffee, but it is very popular and saves a lot of time. The manufacturers have done most of the steps for us.

Then, the shapes of the cups are pressed into cup moulds and handles are added. After that the cups are dried in an oven and the temperature checked. Then the rough edges are smoothed off. Next the cups are puked in kiln. Finally, the cups are decorated.
As a conclusion I hope that these steps are easy for you and now you can think about the great process done for you while you are drinking your cup of coffee.

Fast food VS home-cooked meals




Most people eat at least one time a day. Some people like to eat fast food but others don’t eat until they reached home and eat home-cooked meal. In this essay I will discuss the similarities and differences between them.

There are some similarities between home food and fast food. One thing they both energize you with some calories that you can complete your day working on something. Another thing they both have a great taste so you can enjoy a good meal. In addition, you must pay for the both of them.
On the other side there are many differences. One, fast food is not as healthy as home food that’s why doctors do not recommend having it mainly. Two, home food could be controlled, that means you can add or take whatever you like depending on your healthy condition and what you prefer. Three, cocking at home with the family strengthens the relationship between the family members by sharing the work and food.

In my opinion, I would prefer eating home-cooked meal because it is healthier and more delicious than fast food.
