reflection #6

In this semester I studied N175. It was more deeply in all reading, listening and writing. In reading the vocabulary were more difficult and variety. Also the questions were harder. In fact, it was benefit to find the answer after some searching and read more than one time. The listing improved clearly. I think it was not very hard as well as help me to improve my skills. The most benefit for me was in writing exercises. The graphs helped me to be more specific when I take the notes. Also the argument is important to open my mind and write about some statement. In addition, the number of words that I learned in this semester will help me so much to join my major which is business, because it needs strong language skills.  

Visitors to China

The line graph shows that the number of visitors to China from Germany and Franc between 1998 and 2007. This essay will describe the difference in number between them.

            First, the number of visitors from Germany begin at more than the number of visitors from France by approximately 220000 while 180000 were from France. The number of visitors from Germany dropped slightly in 1999, then went up slowly in 2000. The number of Germany increased little by little from 1998 to 2000. There was a peak in number of visitors from France in 2001 at about 600000 visitors. There was a clear decrease in numbers from 2001 to 2004. The number of visitors from Germany went up greatly from 280000 to 480000 visitors between 2000 and 2001. There is no change in visitors from 2002 to 2005. In the last three years in the graph which is between 2005 and 2007, the numbers of visitors increased slowly then remained steady.

         In conclusion, in the past a few people like to visit China, but the number of visitors increased every year. However, between 2000 and 2002 many people traveled to China.    

           

life style

In the past people were using simple ways for entertainment or news, but now there are many ways of receiving new and entertainment such as TV and the internet. I agree with new ways, in this essay I will describe the positive and negative of different ways.

Let me deal first with the positive side of different. First, nowadays the life become more comfortable and easier, because there are many ways take information from also with different references as you like such as TV and the internet. Second, the ways now included internet and mobiles you can uses in both for news and entertainment. For example, there are millions websites in the internet many of them and many games and so on. The thing is that nowadays you can which type of news you like, sports people can only read the sport news with a high writer.

Although I agree with that but there is argument of, first some people said in these days you don’t know what is benefit for the said many news TV in many direction like sport and health. That’s all we don’t care about. Secondly, you can do activity for entertainment such as camel racing and running.

In conclusion, I think new ways are more comfort for all people to get there wants. Find the news and entertainment in easy way.      

Higher educations

Students at HCT don’t have to pay for their education. In other places they do. I agree with this, some other people disagree. Overall, I will describe the pros and cons of free education.

         Let me deal first with the positive side of free education. The main point is that free education will help many students who don’t have enough money to continue their study. In free education students will get high market because they will don’t think about the cost of studying or where they will pay from. In free education students will be serious in their studs, because there are many students who want to join these places so you must be careful for your study and the attendants.  The last positive on my opinion in free education places is that they always do their best because all of them get their salary directly without thinking about the profit or the money, they are stable.

          There are some points for this argument. First, some students will need to work while they are studying which that my effect their grades. For example, they will not find enough time for study or do projects. The second main point is that the students will be serious for study because they are paying, so they will take care about studying and take more attention in classroom. Thirdly, these kinds of universities or colleges get profit from students, so they will have more offers to please their students and attract more students.  

          Overall, I believe that both sides are right, but I disagree with pay education because you can spend your money on other important things like help your parents to increase the income or saving money to get married.  

       

Workers coming to Dubai

              The line graph shows the number of workers from the UK and Canada coming to work in Dubai between 1990 and 2006. Overall, the numbers of workers from Canada increased faster that the UK.

            The number of workers from the UK increased slightly from 1990 to 1992. Then there was a great went up in 1994. The workers from Canada started lower in 1990 and increased to 15000 in 1992. The biggest increase in the graph record Canada workers was from 1992 to 2002 to about 90000, there is a big decreased in UK workers from 1993 to 2000 by about 10000 workers but the workers from increased from 2000 to 2006 to about 90000

            In conclusion, the numbers of both Canadian and UK workers on met in numbers in the year 2006, and in the end the numbers of workers seems to have stabilized.

#5 Advertisements

Advertisements

            Nowadays, the show has many advertisements. The advertisements show many new products and things that help the customer to make their choice. However, I agree with this idea, although there are arguments on both sides.

            Let me deal first with the positive side of advertisements on TV. The main point is that advertisements make TV channels free. For example, many channel’s profit come from advertisements. The second point is that it’s a benefit for people who watch TV to know about new products. The last point is that advertisements help many people to find a job. For example, when the channels make high profits from advertisements so, these normally will be some plans to add the business.

I think there are also negative arguments against the topic. If there are needs no advertisements you will have pay for TV. It is too expensive, you can pay just a little for no advertisements less than media. Channels with no advertisements are very interesting like sports and movie channels. Advertisements only keep boring because if I want more I can watch it on the internet.

Overall, I agree with advertisements because it is benefit for the TV station.

People who get jobs and people who watch informed about products.

Children Watching TV

In the past there was no TV. Children depended on playing outside or other activities in the free time. Nowadays children waste much time watching TV. In this essay, I will describe some causes of children watching TV, and I will suggest some solutions to this problem.

            There are several reasons why children spend much time watching TV. First of all, many new games are electronic games like play station, video games and movies. Many families prefer this way to keep their children at home. Another reason is that if they stay at home they will lose their health of absence of activities. They will be obesity and it affects their eyes. The most important reason is that they will leave other important work like homework, or to sit with family and do some sports.

            Although these problems are serious, we can take some steps to solve the problem. First, the parents must order time for children to watch the TV. Another solution is that don’t buy electronic games for children and try to focus on activities games like football and tennis.

            In conclusion, TV is a bad influence and it depends on the person who uses it, it is a problem because it effects eyes and the health. We can solve this problem by controlling the schedule. I hope that we act now before it’s too late.

  

Spending On Leisure In UK

The two pie chart show spending on leisure in UK by age group. Overall, electronic equipment is the biggest percent for ages 20-30 and 50-60.

The most popular percents is electronic equipment which is 41% in group of 20,30 years old and it is 38% in group of 50-60 years old, then the charts show that the lowest thing for both groups is photography with 5%. The second thing with 20-30 years old group is sports about 20% but the second highest thing in 50-60 group is books and magazines.

Finally, I think old people care more about books and magazines, then young but they don’t prefer sports.

Obesity In The UAE

Nowadays a lot of people have obesity problem, especially in the modern country like UAE who have faced this problem.  In last few years UAE was not popular in this case as much as now.  In this essay, I will outline some problems linked to obesity and suggest some viable solutions.

Starting with the dangers, diet one of the biggest. To clarify, people who faced this problem are not taken a responsibility of their health because they are eat fast food, traditional food which contains a lot of oils and they don’t care about the healthy meals which contain all required vitamins.  The second main cause of obesity problem is the lifestyle.  Today people are so careless in doing exercises and any other activities, they have easier live and a lot of them have sedentary jobs, so they spend more them time in the offices order fast foods and going home to sleep!. The last main causes I will tell you about it is lack of education.  A lot of UAE families don’t have a knowledge about good eating habits, they are also didn’t get enough awareness of good nutrition and other health issues.

Fortunately, there are some solutions for the Obesity problem.  One of solution is to educate people in special class about eating right, especially children.  The second solution is that encourage people to eat healthy and eat with their families. Teach people how to do some activity everyday such as go with Mr.Greg.

At the end I’d like to clarify that the Obesity is a big problem and we really need to be more series to find some solutions and work hard to it.  

Sports Injuries

            The table compares different types of sports injuries, the basis of their number of injuries percent of sports injuries, percent of admitted to hospital and percent of injuries during competition. Overall, the highest number of injuries was in Australian football.

            Australian football has the highest number of injuries and percent of sports injuries but not in percent of admitted to hospital. The second highest is score with 3777 and percentage of 7.5% in admitted to hospital Spuash has small number of sports injuries with 787 and the lowest percentage of sports injuries by 1.9% volley ball is lowest number of sports injuries with 776 and the lowest percentage with Spuash by 1.9%

In conclusion team games have the biggest number of sports injuries, compared to individual sports. 

Water Use in Gulf Countries 2000

The chart compares the water use in Gulf countries in 2000. The general trend in all 6 countries was that eater for agriculture and domestic uses were the two most important uses. Water for industrial use was the least important use.

In four of the six countries, water for agriculture was the most important use.  In Qatar, Oman, the UAE and Saudi Arabic more than 2 times the amount of water was used for agriculture was the second most important use. In other two countries, Bahrain and Kuwait, domestic use was the most important use and agriculture was the second most important use. In all six countries industrial use was the least important use.

In conclusion we can see that in 2000 industrial use was not as important as domestic use or agriculture in these 6 Gulf countries.

Reasons for choosing a university

The chart shows 11 reasons why first year students from overseas chose a particular university. The survey of 1,000 first year overseas students was carried out at universities in the UK. The top three reasons are language of tuition, quality of teachers, and up-to-date teaching facilities.

             According to the graph, the main reason is the language. At 95 percent of the sample, it was the main reason most students gave for choosing a university. The second biggest factor was quality of teachers, at 90%, followed by facilities, also at 90%.

 Non-teaching factors were also important. Costs of tuition were quoted as a reason by 75%, and location was mentioned by 70% of students. The cost of accommodation is also an important factor for 80% of respondents. Almost two-thirds of students said that the friendliness of the university was important.

            In conclusion the various factors can be divided into two groups, namely those related to teaching and non-teaching related. However, the most important are the language and the teachers.
