Flow

There are some things in our life we need so much like water, food and air. But the most important is the water because all things in our life contact from it. Because of that, all humans use it for agriculture, drinking, hygiene, extinguishing fires, providing drinking water and waste water services, industrial applications power generation and food processing so all things in the earth depend on the water and most of the earth is covered by water. http://chalk.richmond.edu/education/projects/webunits/water/waterimpt.html . In this report I’m going to write about the problem of Water pollution and the increasing needs of people for clean water.

There are many sources for water such as lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater but if all sources are dirty, the humans will find problems and the need of water will increasing. In our lives, many countries have lack of water because some of them do not have source for water and they have water pollution. Water pollution is a major problem in the world. It causes deaths and diseases and it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily. An estimated 700 million Indians have no access to a proper toilet, and 1,000 Indian children die of diarrhoeal sickness every day. Some 90% of China's cities suffer from some degree of water pollution and nearly 500 million people lack access to safe drinking water. In addition to the acute problems of water pollution in developing countries, industrialized countries continue to struggle with pollution problems as well. In the most recent national report on water quality in the United States, 45 percent of assessed stream miles, 47 percent of assessed lake acres and 32 percent of assessed bay and estuarine square miles were classified as polluted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pollution

This are some water contaminants like industrial waste and sewage. The industrial waste includes all materials resulting from the chemical industry. It’s so big problem in the water world and the other problem it’s about Sewage some of states are discharge the sewage in to water bodies like rivers, seas and lakes. From that behavior the water will be contaminants. Also that behavior it make so many diseases for the people in the world not only the people also for the fish in the water, also lead to reducing the oxygen in water and miss the fish and other aquatic. Dangerous diseases affecting humans by untreated sewage is :

• Brainerd ~ chronic diarrhea
• Dysentery ~ bloody diarrhea
• Cholera ~ dehydrating diarrhea
• Typhoid fever ~ prolonged abdominal cramps

The most common illness caused by swimming in contaminated water is gastroenteritis. Other types of contamination cause infections to develop on your skin, in an open wound and in your eyes, ears, nose and throat. Children and elderly are most likely to develop these water contamination related illnesses. http://www.healthblurbs.com/contaminated-water-disease-waterborne-diseases-contamination-of-water-diseases-causing-illnesses/

Generally, we must be careful about these diseases and we have to save water for a good future for us and for the next generation

The Technology between now and in the past

50 years ago, all people found problems with the learning because they didn’t have any technology but they tried to use some simple things to complete their courses. For example, in the past, people didn’t have a computer but now they have a computer so there are many problems solved with it and the studying became very easy.

The technology made everything better than in the past. Because of that, we use the technology everywhere like schools, colleges and in the university. For example, if anyone wants to join a college, they should pay money for a new laptop because it will help them in college and it will make studying better and easier. Also our mind will be better because we will learn new ways of thinking. In addition, in the past we can’t talk to people in other countries but now we can talk to people from anywhere by the internet. Also, with it, we can look for books in the internet and we can read them online so we don’t need to go to the library http://www.witguides.com .
In the computer there is much software that we can use to make our life very easy such as Microsoft office. The Microsoft office contains about ten softwares. Now I’m going to write about them. For example; word, power point, excel and access. The first one is Microsoft word that the people use because they can type what they want and they can see what they write before they print it out. Also when you finish typing, you can keep all your documents in your computer. The second program is Power Point and we can’t do our projects without it. With it, we can make our project more interesting and we can understand any lesson in an easy way. Also excel is part of Microsoft office. It can organize the details like making surveys, lists for students’ names and workers’ salaries. Because of that, most people feel the Microsoft Office is very important for their work.



Nowadays, people can’t work without a computer because it is a major machine in all places like companies and colleges http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer. For example, in the company they use a computer for making advertisements like flash cards, publications and designing cartoon movies. In addition, some businessmen use the computer to connect to each other. Also they can make deals from here to other countries. Also, many people make money from the internet like on the the stock market. For example, they buy and sell stocks and by that way they will make a lot of money. http://www.forexyard.com/ . On the other hand, if anyone wants to be employed in any company, they should get on ICDL certificate because it is very important for all workplaces. This certificate is about learning how to use Microsoft office well. For that, all people use Microsoft office. For example in the companies they use Microsoft office to put the information in the computers for printing out or for keeping it.

Compare



Nowadays, there are many fast cars in this world. I’m sure it is the Bugatti Veyron that is the fastest car in the world. Now, I’m going to compare between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 turbo and I will show the similarities and differences of each car.

All sport cars have similarities and differences, but now I’m going to show a few similarities between the Porsche and the Bugatti. The first thing is the number of passengers. These two cars are only for two passengers and that means both cars are coupes. The second similarity is the type of the two cars. Both cars are sport type and they are very expensive. Also they are very fast and very safe. The third similarity is where they are made. Both cars are made in Germany.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti )

But there are more differences then similarities and I would like to write about some of the differences between each car. The first difference is the number of horse power. The Bugatti has 1001 hp but the Porsche only has 480 hp.( http://www.leftlanenews.com/bugatti-veyron-16.4.html ) The second difference is the size of the engine of each car. The engine of the Bugatti is 8.0L with 16v that can give speed of more than 410km/h but the engine of the Porsche 911 turbo is 3.6L with 6v and can speed 310km/h. The last difference is the price of each car. The Bugatti costs more than $1,400,000 while the Porsche 911 turbo costs $140,700. ( http://www.leftlanenews.com/porsche-911-turbo-convertible.html )

As you see from what I have written, the Bugatti is better than the Porsche because it has more features . I hope to buy one as soon as I can because I want to drive my car at high speed in Yas Marina Circuit which is in Abu Dhabi

Bahrain park splashes out

The Bahrain water park is the one that is built on top of the biggest mall in the country(Bahrain). The water park covers over 15000 sq m and it has a lot of interesting areas; it has a restaurant, large party room, wave pro, and an outlet selling swimming apparel. The water park can be accessed directly from the mall. The water park has two areas; one is the outdoor and the other is indoor; the outdoor is more fun; it has more than 10 different rides and slides with varied levels of intensity. It can be accessed by adults and children. The water park uses a lot of water: about 24,000 liters per day. The water park will be exciting and good for the country to make money, but at the same time it’s harmful for the environment because it uses a lot of water which causes a lot of problems.

Natural paradise gets protection

The summary>>>
The Hajar Mountains are home to the Wadi Wurayah protected area which has more than 100 of birds and other animals. The most important thing is to save this area because the country wants to attract tourists. The ruler of Fujairah a decree issued that the area is off limits for development. This wadi is recommended as a must see in UAE off road and tourist guides. The wadi is also home to garra barreimiae which lives only in the Hajar Mountains. There are more than 300 species of plants including a species of wild orchid unique to the UAE. There are many rangers to catch poachers targeting the rare animals. Dibba Rock was protected and it attracts hundreds of divers so if we protect this big area, we can protect any area in the Emirates.

1-The beauty of the natural paradise.
2-The importance of saving natural areas.
3-There are many kinds of plants in the Hajar Mountains.


Comment>>>
This is good topic because there is a lot of information about The Hajar Mountains. Finally, we have to save these animals and plants because the country wants to attract tourists.

The Dyslexia

Dyslexic is a big problem that some children can’t processing visual information like reading and writing. The new research suggests that dyslexics have difficulty with control of eye movement or eye wobble. The scientists and researchers are working together to solve this problem and the new technology will help children. A disturbing sensation of glare making them rub their eyes frequently and some children feel headache when they reading. The magnocells related to eye movement but in dyslexics do not develop as well as those in good readers. The professor who trained at Oxford and Thomas’s Hospital will prepare for trying hi-tech specs in primary schools in London and Hampshire. Dr fouler used the first prototype. Professor Stein said that the eye wobble is not obvious to the naked eye. If we can get children early, their brains are flexible enough to enable them to improve control by doing daily exercises to keep their eyes still and fixed on one object to become etched into the brain.
