Wide range of subjects and online or distance studying has big impact of interacting students to study and getting a higher certificate.  In this essay I am going to discuss whether there are positive or negative developments.

Eating balanced meals is the key to a healthy life

Being healthy is a key to happiness. In order to achieve that, there are other things that have to be considered and to be aware of. Eating properly is only one factor of having a healthy life. And this is not the only reason for a healthy life. In this essay I am going to discuss eating balanced food being the key to a healthy life.

Task 4

Media’s influence impacts on people and can change their attitude and thoughts. As we have a large variety of media, its influence gets larger all the time. A normal person can be influenced by many things as he is getting older. In this essay I am going to write whether I agree or disagree with this issue.

Living in an Islamic culture has a massive influence in shaping people’s ideas and beliefs. For me, religion and culture are the main cause of shaping my ideas and behavior. For example, saying the truth and not lying is something we learned from our religion, not something we catch in TV or newspaper. It’s like you had some rules and instructions to follow which will guide you forever. However, we learned many things from our parents and friends, but it’s all based on our religion. For example, respecting people and other religions and how to how to be successful in everything you do. If we are going to put this in fewer words, I would say religion and culture are every man’s foundation and everything else is based on this.

I do disagree with the fact that mass media have a great influence on our personal thoughts and ideas. It might have a small effect somehow, although this depends on the issue. On the other hand, we all can live and shape our ideas without media and all this kind of stuff.

In conclusion, what I would like to say is that everything can have an effect on influencing our ideas, but there are things which have a massive effect on you.

The graph shows the number of visitors in millions who had visited different theme parks. There are number of increasing and decreasing which are shown in the graph in year 1995 to 2005.Tn the next paragraph I am going to write about the visitors in 5 different theme park.

Disneyland had the highest amount of visitors, while Alton Towers had the least amount of visitors. Busch Gardens visitors increased from 5 million to 10 million in 2000 however, Disneyland visitors had the highest number with more than 40 million visitors. Finally, Alton Towers had a slight increase in year 2000 with only 1 million differences.

Well, the highest number of visitors came from North America. On the other hand, Oceania had the least amount of visitors. European visitors had the second highest number in 2000 while; Asian visitors came in 3^rd place.

 In conclusion, Disneyland had the highest amount of visitors which means that it’s the most popular theme park.

Task 2

There are lots of people moving to a new city or a country. As years are passing the amount of people moving is increasing, and there are many different reasons behind this. The improvement in transportation and communication made the world much smaller than what it used to be. Looking for better education or suitable job are some of the reasons behind this issue.

The challenges are so many and it depends on the place you move to. Language could be a problem or challenging but not a serious one though. What can be a big challenge is a different culture. There are lots of things that would go under culture such as clothing, lifestyle and even food which might become difficult for some religions. Yet being homesick is something you cannot deny. Many people cannot handle staying away from their home town. What can be another challenge are rules and regulations, as we all know every country has different ones.

Well, there are many solutions for these challenges which might minimize the challenges and help people to get on quite easy in the country they planned to move to. One of the solutions is learning a common language, which is used worldwide.  Reading and respecting their culture is a massive solution which will save a lot of trouble and time to settle down.  After all this it would be helpful to find other people who have experienced the culture and getting information from them.

Overall, even though there are many solutions which might overcome the challenges, it is still hard to move to a new country and it takes some time to manage this, live happy and feel safe.  Whatever solutions you can find and even do, there will nothing better than home.

Task 1

The charts show the percentages of films shown in Britain and Australia by origin in year 2000. The second chart shows the cinema attendance in Britain and Australia throughout the period 1980 to 2000.

The highest percentage was 78% of films shown in Britain which came from the USA, while in Australia US films reached about 68%. British films shown were not as high as US films with only 20% in Britain and 59% in Australia. What we notice is there were no Australian films shown in Britain comparing to 10% shown in Australia.

After that, the Australian attendance started to increase steadily throughout the years from 1990 to 2000.

In conclusion, US films are the most popular films shown in both Britain and Australia. We find out that there are no Australian films shown in Britain. In the last chart we see that the highest cinema attendance was in Britain with 150 million.

Report of Ibrahim and Mohammed presentation

Today, Ibrahim and Mohammed presented to us a presentation about "Parking Congestion". Ibrahim started with introducing the presentation topic. The, he explained the reason behind choosing this topic. After that, he started to introduce the topic outline. History was the first thing to start with; he talked about the traffic in the USA back in 1932 and how it was organized. Secondly, he mentioned frustration which can be caused by parking congestion when people are hurrying to their work and try to find parking quickly which makes them angry. Then he gave us a clear picture of what this might cause by mentioning chaotic and unorganized parking which was a very good picture. Mohammed's role was after this, starting with some real solutions of the problem. The first solution he offered is robotic car buildings where cars can be parked automatically. Another solution was that parking facility which can contain a large amount of cars in a smaller area. Then, Mohammed talked about some examples in the world and showed us some pictures of that.

Both of them did very well. The presentation layout was good and I think they covered everything and gave good examples and pictures. The best thing was that we face this problem in Abu Dhabi and it’s a kind of problem we have to deal with every single day.
