Line Graph: Population Growth, 1750-2150

As we can see graph shows the population growth in rich and poor countries in the period between 1750 and 2150; and that show the high increase between 1950 and 2050.

From 1750 to 1900 the world population was stable; in 1900 to 1950 was the beginning of the quickest growth of population. In 2000 the population of the world reached to 6.1 billion or three times what it was in 1950. The world population graph shows that it will be between 8 and 10 billion in 2050 and the population in 2100 and 2150 is predicted to be over 10 billion.

Finally we can see that the world population still growing more and the sharpest increase in the graph is between 1950 and 2050. Then it will be is estimated to grow more slowly

Mobile phones while driving

Talking the way a mobile phone in accordance with the research, more than the legal alcohol limit on the dangerous. And driving while talking on the mobile can not talk to people I do not think the management of the services. Now that a lot of people, to get attention, and they started to use mobile headset to talk to. Can only be dangerous, or chat by using the mobile internet, mobile conversation. The administration was using the services of more than 30 is illegal in the country. This way, I built on the advantage and disadvantage about the services used to. First of all, I have no profit to the disadvantage of other people care about the car, not using the services there, I think. For instance, they and other emergency vehicles will see what can be. Disadvantage, they may not see another way for people to walk. Transport research laboratory tests by scientists on the mobile drive under the influence of alcohol after the reaction times and stopping times than he said. No problem, really, in a letter to get sucked into driving instructions over the phone call to start over. Secondly, at the end of the phone on the driving conditions around the person can not. If you are in a dangerous situation arises about the person's car, if you can stop talking. By the end of this telephone does not appear only in how the people. At the end, I think sometimes people have to use the service, but they are allowed to use the headset to take care of. In my opinion, people who know that they can not talk, so they call on their way to put a voice message.

Table of 5 cities for underground train system

The above table shows five cities regarding the underground train system and it's compared by opening date, length and the passengers during 2010.

The oldest one was opened in London and that was in 1863  , Paris opened in 1900, Tokyo opened in 1927 and Kyoto opened in 1981, but the newest train system is in Boston, opened in 2001. London has the longest train underground system and it is 394 km, Paris has 199 km, Tokyo has 155 km, Boston has 28 km, but the shortest one is Kyoto. The highest numbers of passengers is in Tokyo and and iit deals with 192 million of passengers; Paris is the second with 189 million passengers, London came the third  with 77 million passengers, Boston has 50 million passengers, but the lowest numbers of passengers is in Kyoto with 45 million.

The table shows that London has the oldest and the longest underground train system, but Kyoto has the shortest and the smallest number of passengers. Boston has the newest train system and Tokyo has the highest number of passengers

Smoking

Smoking nowadays has become not acceptable from the people but in the past the smoking was everywhere. I am going to write an argument easy about smoking.

The first point I would like to make is that smoking helps people to think and relax. Smoking is harmful although people can choose if they like to smoke or not; for example buying tobacco is a free choice. Smoking outside on the road or in the park is free; nobody can punish smokers here; for example governments don’t ban smoking there and people can use their money as they like. Many people like to smoke in their home or in the car so they can do what they like and they feel that the world is in their hands.

There are several arguments against the smoking. Firstly, there must be places for smoking away from nonsmoking people; for example at restaurants you can’t eat if someone is smoking. Secondly, governments must increase the price of the cigarettes, cigars and tobacco but still it is freedom to buy it or not. Thirdly, smoking can affect you because medical evidence shows that smoking is linked to lung cancer, heart disease and respiratory difficulties. Finally, smoking also affects your family indirectly because they breathe the smoke as the smoker does.

It is important to respect nonsmokers so there should be places that smokers can smoke without affecting people around them. But it is important to presence the freedom of people to smoke if they so choose and to spend their own money as they wish.

Bar Graph: City Growth

The graphs compare the growth of urban population in nine cities in 1950 to 2015 is the number of fastest grow to each of those cities. It can be clearly seen that Tokyo-Japan has the fastest growth city and London-England has the slowest growing city.

In 1950 there were around 5 million or less in largos Nigeria, Cairo Egypt, Mexico city Mexico, Bombay India and Sao Paolo Brazil and 5 million and above from London England, shanghai china and Tokyo Japan. But in 1970 there were around less than 10 million from London, Cairo, Mexico city, Lagos, Bombay and Sao Polo, more than 10 million of urban from Network, shanghai and Tokyo. In 2000there were fewer than 15 million in London, Cairo, and Lagos and shanghai but a rise to more than 15 million in New York, Mexico City, Bombay, Sao Paolo and Tokyo. In 2015 there will be less than 20 million in London, Cairo and shanghai. Finally the biggest growth is more than 20 million from Lagos, Bombay, Sao Paolo and Tokyo.

In conclusion it is clear that Tokyo is the fastest growing city in the world and London is the slowest growing city in the chart.

Hurricanes and Tornadoes

We can see that the table shows the differences between hurricanes and tornadoes by seven features.          

 74mph and 40 mph are the minimum wind speeds of hurricanes tornadoes respectively. The maximum wind speed of the most severe storms of hurricanes is between 155 and 200 mph, but between 250 and 300 mph for tornadoes. The classification scale is the Safire, Simpson C1 and C5 for hurricanes and the Fujita F0 and F5 for tornadoes. The hurricanes take 1 week on average but only a few minutes to a few hours for tornadoes. The average width of hurricanes is 300 miles but only 100 to 1.5 km wide for tornadoes. The hurricanes last from 2 to 3 days but 20 minutes maximum for tornadoes. The hurricanes starts over warm oceans but tornadoes start usually over land.
           From the table information we found that hurricanes are not stronger than tornadoes but it is last longer than tornadoes. Also tornadoes start over land but hurricanes start over oceans.

Three African Cities

The line graph gives information about the average monthly temperatures in three African cities - Mombasa, Cairo, and Cape Town. Each city has its own different climate, with very different characteristics.

The hottest place shown on the graph is Cairo. In July and August, average temperatures rise to over 80º Fahrenheit. However, Cairo also has the biggest variation in climate.Temperatures drop to as low as 55 degrees in Cairo’s winter, during January and February. This is equal to Cape Town’s lowest temperature in July. In fact Cairo and Cape Town are almost opposites in temperature. Cairo is hottest when Cape Town is coldest.

Cape Town does not have the range that Cairo has. Its maximum temperature is 70º F from November to February, after which it drops gradually to about 55 degrees in its winter. In contrast to Cairo or Cape Town,

Mombasa is warm all year round. Its temperature fluctuates very little, ranging from a low of 75 to a maximum of 83 in March.

In conclusion, location is very important in deciding climate. When it is winter in Cairo, it is summer in Cape Town, but Mombasa, being tropical, is warm all year round.

reflection # 3

During this semester we wrote two types of essays.  First one was about how to description of graphs and charts, the second was about problem & solution.

In the graphs and charts essays, we begin with single pie charts, writing from two pies charts of Valentine's Day gifts.  We went on to bar charts. Also we looked at information of tables for hurricanes and tornadoes.

We followed a simple three paragraphs construction. We described the information in the graphs, charts, tables. We wrote the growth of Lagos in the city agglomerations chart.

                In the problem and solution essays, we used a four paragraph construction. We stated the problem, and then we gave 4 to 5 causes of the problem and 4 to 5 possible solutions. In the concluding paragraph, we wrote the most viable solutions.

Traffic congestion in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is a large and modern city, where there are many companies, factories, which causes traffic congestion.
 The population in Abu Dhabi has grown which means the number of cars per house has increased and each person in a family has at least two cars; most companies which are working indoors or outdoors have their own cars. If you take a look in Abu Dhabi when there is construction it will cause heavy traffic. Police report that the most serious accidents are caused by young drivers so they must educate them. Also the concentration of firms and colleges should be relocated off the island.
The best solution is to make existing roads better with bridges, tunnels and overpasses. Another solution is to educate the drivers before they get a license plus staggered startup and finishing time to avoid congestion; another thing is to relocate government offices and businesses away from the island. If there is a metro they can give offers for the companies to encourage them to use the metro. Paid parking has helped to reduce traffic congestion.
As you can see it’s hard to get the best solution but we can minimize the traffic congestion.

Obesity in the UAE

One of the major problems in the UAE is obesity, because more than 70% of Emiratis are overweight.
 Most families face the same thing. After all of that we will see that the main reason Obesity, diet, lifestyle and education. One of the chief causes is diet. Young Emiratis eat more and more high-carbohydrate, high-fat burgers and pizza in fast-food restaurants. However, some traditional foods are also very oily, and also people are eating more without burning off by exercise. If this happens regularly there is potential of becoming obese. Lifestyle also is one of the main reasons of obesity. As a result of cheap foreign labour, many Emiratis now have sedentary jobs, and do not exercise regularly. Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.

Obesity or even being overweight has serious effects on the individual and the society. Both need to take action to examine the causes of this problem and find solutions

Top Ten Date-Producing Countries, 2001

                         

I am going to write about the top countries which were producing dates and it’s in 2001 as shown in this bar chart.

We can see that only Egypt and Iran exceeded the 800,000 tonnes and only Egypt produced over  1,000,000 .In another direction we see that Libya had the lowest production and it is less than 200,000 tonnes. The third country after Egypt and Iran is the UAE and it is producing over 750,000 tonnes and Saudi Arabia is the fourth country. Pakistan is near to Iraq’s production as the fifth country.

Algeria produced over 300,000 tonnes and it came as the sixth one. After Algeria is Oman which was producing over 200,000 tonnes and less than 250,000 tonnes and it came as the seventh country. In the end Sudan came before Libya and it produced over than 150,000 tonnes.

From that record we can see the big gap between the greatest and the lowest date production which means that 6 countries produced more than half a million tonnes and two countries produced less than 200,000 tonnes.

Valentine's Day Gifts

I am going to write about the types of gifts that men and women in the USA buy for each other on Valentine’s Day.

From these graphs we can see that cards, candy and flowers are coming at the top of the list. Then 10% of men and 9% of women bought jewelry. The perfume/cologne came as the sixth choice.

Spa/personal was 6% and 1% for men and women respectively.

The lingerie was the last choice for both of them.

In general it was great to find that these different choices were because of the money availability of different people.    

UK budget in 1996

The UK government gave each section a budget which was £315 billion in 1996 and which it is shown in the given pie-chart.

Social security was the highest category and it was £100 billion. The transport gets £9 billion which mean that it was the lowest category.

Health and personal social services was £53 billion

 and education got £38 billion.In that year defence got £22 billion. Debt interest was £25 billion and other expenditure was £23 billion. Industry, agriculture and employment had £13 billion only in this high budget .Law and order got £17 billion.

Finally, different amounts of budget were given to each section to show some improvement and meet the need of the UK residents.      

A journey from Brunei to Sarawak

Thirty years ago, Hedley, with his wife Mary and daughter Katie, visited the Niah caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They traveled by car, boat and ferry.

They set off from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and drove to the border with Sarawak. They crossed two large rives by ferry, stopped In Miri for lunch and then continued to Niah, a small river township. Thin they hired a small boat and sailed upriver to a government rest house, where they spent the night. They ate with the small group of scientists who lived in the rest house and shared the cold drinks they had brought with them in a cool box. It was a remote spot, deep in the jungle. They slept in bunk beds with no airconditioning. It was a novel experience.

The next morning, they walked along a jungle path for half an hour until they reached the Niah caves. Inside the caves, which were very high, they saw men who climbed up tall bamboo poles. The men wore lights on their hats because it was so dark. At the top of the poles they scraped off birds’ nests from the roof of the caves. The nests were collected by their mates on the cave floor and packed into sacks. These nests were later sold and made into bird’s nest soup, a Chinese delicacy.

That afternoon, they said goodbye to their new-found friends in the rest house and set off on the long drive home. It was quite an adventure and one they would never forget.
