Abudhabi or Dubai



which city is better - AbuDhabi or Dubai?why?

There are many fantastic cities around the world. Some cities are famous for history. While other cities are famous for shopping and entertainment. In the UAE there are two important cities, AbuDhabi and Dubai. Both of these cities have some advantages and some disadvantages. In my view, AbuDhabi is a better city because it's smaller, and it has many opportunities.

AbuDhabi is better than Dubai because it is smaller. First, there is less traffic in small cities. For example, its only tack about 20 minutes to travel from downtown AbuDhabi to the other side. On the other hand, it can tack one and a half hour to travel across Dubai second, small cities like AbuDhabi are often more organized. For instance, in AbuDhabi the roads are planned, so it is easy to find shopping malls such as Marina Mall.
However, in Dubai you can easily get lost on the road because they are always changing due to construction work. In short AbuDhabi is better than Dubai because it is smaller.

There are more opportunities in AbuDhabi than Dubai. First, there are more entertainment opportunities in Abu Dhabi. For example, AbuDhabi has much nicer free beaches than Dubai. Unlike Dubai, the beach road near 30th street have many nice activities such as renting bicycles and numerous cafes like cold stone ice- cream and restaurant. Moreover AbuDhabi actually has more nice hotels with nice restaurants such us Sent Regis in Saadyat island and the Viceroy on Yas Island. Second, AbuDhabi, has more job opportunities because it wasn't affected by economic crises of 2008 the same way as Dubai. For instance, AbuDhabi helped Dubai by giving money. In sum Dubai has fewer opportunities than AbuDhabi.

To conclude, AbuDhabi is a better place to live than Dubai because it is not as big, and it has more entertainment and work opportunity. There are simply more jobs and nice places to go in Abudhabi. In my opinion, anyone living in Dubai should conceder moving to Abudhabi.

Essay about iPad and textbooks

These days technology has become very important in our life. And with the emergence of two biggest and famous companies such as Apple and Samsung, the people can not live without their products such as iPhones, iPads and iPods because it has many good education programs. In my view, iPad is better because it is easier to use than text books and worksheets and more evolved.

iPad is better than text books because it is easier. First, it is more lighter than books, so we don't need to carry many things such as books, pens and eraser. For example, in Zayed University we work on the iPad most of the time, we read stories and do some practices on it. Second, iPad is not complicated to use because all people from different ages,even kids, know how to use it easily. In short, iPad is better than textbooks because it is easier.

There are many companies and schools now using iPad because it is popular, evolved and has many features. First, we can do many things on the iPad. For example, playing entertainment games, reading books, newspapers, stories, and we can become in touch with the breaking news from the world. Second, iPad has more options than textbooks. For example, we can download some applications to learn different things, and we can surfing the Internet, check emails and social networks at the same time.

To conclude, iPad is better than textbooks because it is easier, lighter and it has many entertainment and educations applications. In my opinion, in the future it will be no computers, no laptops. All people will use iPad and iPhones only.

Cultural differences in counting (summary)

Many people assume that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientist have discovered that this is not true. People in different parts of the world use different methods to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first, or index, finger. In China, people count by using a variety of finger positions. Some languages have only a few words for numbers and others don't have any words for numbers. A group of scientists worked with aboriginal children in Australia. The scientists studied people who have a very small vocabulary for numbers. In tests, aboriginal children listened to taps from a stick and then put out markers to match the number of taps they heard. The children put out the correct number of markers. In a similar study the Piraha tribe don't have words that means some and more. Although all humans have the ability to understand quantities not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting.
