Comparing villages and cities

There are many similarities and differences between living in a small village and living in a big city. This essay will discuss the similarities and the differences between them and which is better to live in.

First of all, one of the similarities is that both the village and the city have the same facilities such as roads, hospital, shops and schools. There are a lot of things that are common between the village and the city. But the differences are more.

Secondly, the most important difference is the population. Of course the city has a larger population than the village. In  addition, living in a small village is too quiet and more relaxing. On the other hand, the city is quite noisy. Moreover, in a village there is nowhere to enjoy yourself in, like malls. But in the city there are many malls and restaurants that you can eat in. The education in the city is more provided by the Government than the village such as, universities, schools and colleges.

In conclusion, I do prefer the city because there is more life and energy but the village I think is for old people to relax in. If you ask someone and he is young definitely he will say “in my opinion I will live in the city because all the things you like are around you”.

The UAE Today and 40 years ago

 
The world is changing very fast without any one noticing it. We will discuss what are the similarities and differences between the UAE today and 40 years ago. In this essay I will compare  the life style in the UAE between the past and the present.

First of all, the education. In the past people only studied the Holy Quran and AL Hadith.Moreover, in the past all the teachers were men because  the women were not allowed to go out and learn .
Whereas the education nowadays is completely different from the past; the students now have  big schools with  many activities you can do  in the school .Now they study Science  ,Physics  ,Math and English ,and the most shocking thing is that there are more women than men in schools.

Secondly, the wedding. It was simple, and nice. It lasted for many days and the whole the village would come and take part in it. The bride and her neighbors made the wedding dress, and it was colorful and sewn by hand with creative embroidery.The bride in the past used a wooden box to store her clothes. Moreover, food was as important in the past as it now .The families got together to make the largest amount of rice and meat that were served at the wedding. The houses were smaller than these days, so that all the relatives and neighbors would come and share with the couple their happiness. But nowadays some people think it so long a way to accept an invitation of a wedding.

In conclusion, the similarities between the past and today are considerable .It is just money and oil  which made this large diffrence you see but the families  have the same traditions  they had  40 years ago.  If you ask someone what you think about the U.A.E in the past and the present he definitely will say” I can not comment on that !! “.
