Bar graph: population changes in large cities

The bar chart shows the growth of urban agglomerations over the past sixty years and projection for the next five years time.

There are differences in the population between all of the major cities, I will start with London; the population decreased from about 8 millions in 1950 to 7 millions in 2000 and it shows that it will remain the same for the next five years. Bombay and Tokyo are the top two countries with growth from around 2.5 million to more than 25 millions in Tokyo in 2000 but Bombay was less than 20 millions in 2000; Bombay is projected to be more than 20 million within the next 5 years, but Tokyo  will remain the same for the next 5 years. Lagos has the most growth in the population; it increased from less than 5 million up to 12.5 million in 2000 and it will be more than 20 million as projected in 2015.

In conclusion it is clear that London is the only city that shows a decrease in population but the others shows a growth in population.

Traffic congestion in Abu Dhabi.

Like many large cities worldwide, Abu Dhabi suffers from traffic congestion. Why, and what can be done about it?

Nowadays the most common problem for most people living in Abu Dhabi is that they are suffering from traffic congestion.

The causes are as follows: growing population and the numbers of cars per household; economic expansion and development; construction which needs heavy vehicles; more drivers are teenagers and they are causing most of the accidents ; driver education; concentration of firms like colleges in one area and the shortage of parking.

The suggested solutions are to improve the existing system like skyline; to limit the numbers of cars per household; to stagger hours; better planning and better education like a stiffer driving test; more fines; restrictions like salik; better public transport like buses; relocation of business and ministries; and the paid parking.

All in all the most viable solution for my idea is relocation  because it is easy and because after it is ready they can move to it easily and smoothly.

Problem & Solution 1

Forty years ago the life was difficult and the people were moving a lot and travelling by walking or by camels. Nowadays the life is very easy and everything you want you will get in your place by delivery; that’s why many of the people are obese or very over weight. In this essay I will explain the problem and solution to this habit.

The biggest reason of this is the bad life style and some people are eating more and moving less, that’s why they are getting more weight. Most people like the fast food and most of them think that the fast food is more healthy because they are following the advertisements and the fast food owners want to gain more profit from these advertisement, and that’s why the Ministry of Health is making other advertisement that are advising people to do more exercise ; to live more and to be more healthy, because the percentage of the sick people is reaching the danger point.

The solution to control the weight is to educate the people to change their life style step by step until they reach the healthy life style. Inform the people to control the children’s food from a younger age and also tell them about the routine checkup by the professional doctor to monitor any health problem from the beginning before it reaches to the danger point.

All in all the life style is easy for the healthy people but for others it is difficult because they are suffering.

Good diet and physical exercise are the keys to reducing obesity.

Valentine's Day

Two pie charts

These two pie charts show the types of gifts that women and man in the USA buy for each other on Valentine’s Day, 14^th February yearly.

The most popular gifts bought by both women and men are flowers, candy and cards. Cards are the most popular gift for both genders. More men than women buy flowers, 16% compared to 11%, while more women, 27%, buy cards than men, 18%. Rather surprisingly, more women, around a fifth, buy candy for men than vice versa. Around 10% of both women and men purchase jewellery. Over twice as many women than men buy perfumes or cologne. Men spend more than women on both lingerie and spa/personal care, which is exactly what you would expect.

In conclusion, the types of gifts bought for each other by women and men in the USA are more or less what you would expect. The actuality of the percentage, however, is rather more surprising; for instance, the fact that grater percentage of women buys candy and perfume /cologne.

Date –Producing Countries,2001

The bar graph shows the production of dates in tonnes for the world’s top producers in the year 2001. Ten countries in the Asian continent and African continent are included.

First, Egypt took the lion’s share of production, with over a million tonnes, but Iran is a close second, with almost 0.9 million. The UAE supplied the world with nearly 750,000 tonnes and Saudi Arabia around 725,000 tonnes. Following them Iraq and Pakistan, with outputs of approximately 620,000 tonnes each, were far less productive. Algeria supplied the world with nearly 400,000 tonnes and Oman around a quarter of a million. In contrast, harvests in Sudan and Libya were far less plentiful, yielding under  0.2 million each.

In summary, Egypt and Iran are close to each other in the date production. However, Libya and Sudan are the smallest two producers in northern Africa.
