There are many problems in Abu Dhabi and one of them is traffic congestion which is considered the first problem in Abu Dhabi. As we know there are causes of this problem and as with everything in the world there will be solutions. In this essay I will discuss and describe the causes of traffic congestion and the solutions.

First of all, we will start with the causes and the problems of traffic congestion. There are many but one of them is the growing population in Abu Dhabi. As we know Abu Dhabi has a large number of people that immigrate to it, and work in it and have their opportunity. Secondly, we have the construction problem in Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi is the city that cannot stop working in the Middle East. The rush hour in Abu Dhabi is between 8 clock in the morning to 9 clock and many people use limited roads and they are always under construction which causes really heavy traffic. Moreover, sometimes on the road we meet young Emirati drivers who drive too riskily and cause accidents on the roads and make traffic congestion.

There are many solutions of the traffic congestion and one of them is better education to the young Emirati people. However, as we mentioned, there are many people in the UAE and many expatriates and  we can reduce the problem by limiting the number of cars per household. In addition, we can be more strict to the young people who are crazy when driving.

In conclusion, Abu Dhabi as we know is an island so there are not many solutions that can be done. Only to make people more knowledgeable about the danger of traffic congestion and the punishments that can be done.

Many people in the UAE are obese or overweight in this essay I will discuss the problems and the solutions in the UAE.
Obesity affects the individual and the country. The biggest effect is on the individual. First of all, being overweight has health risks. Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions. The quality of life suffers, as it is difficult to enjoy exercise or move. Another result is lack of self-esteem. This can lead to depression, eating disorders and crash diets. The country is also affected. It becomes very expensive for the government to provide advanced medical care such as heart transplants. Unhealthy citizens are also less productive. and their children learn poor eating habits. 
Obesity can be divided into three main causes - 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 because of increasing affluence are eaten more often than in the past. Lifestyle is a second main cause of obesity. As a result of cheap foreign labour, many Emiratis now have sedentary jobs, and do not exercise regularly. However, one of the main causes is lack of education and awareness. The society's attitude to food often leads to over-consumption. Parents do not teach good eating habits to children, and many people lack knowledge about good nutrition or a balanced diet.
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.

This bar chart shows  the top date-producing countries in 2001.We see there are ten Gulf and African  countries and the number of the annual production which is in tonnes and starts from zero to one million , two hundred thousand.

Turning to the details, Egypt is the leader of the ten countries  and is above the million tonnes  and is followed by Iran which is around eight hundred thousand .In this report we see some similarities between Saudi Arabia and the  UAE which are more than Iraq and Pakistan in production. They are between six hundred to eight hundred thousand. Moreover, Algeria is around three hundred thousand. Finally we see Libya is one hundred thousand which is half of Oman and they are the smallest producers  in the bar chart.
In conclusion,  Egypt is the only one which produced more than one million and we see the rest of the countries  produced more than  six hundred thousand except three  countries which are Algeria , Libya and Oman.
This ends my report.

First of all, the first pie chart shows what men buy for women which is mostly they buy cards for their women. On the other hand, the women’s percentage of buying cards is more than men’s which is 27 % and the men only 18 %. The second most popular on the two pie charts is candy. On the women's chart it is 21% which is more than the men’s pie chart. The third most popular on the two charts is flowers where men are 16% and that means a larger percentage than women. Finally we see perfume and jewelry, lingerie, spa /personal on the women's pie chart are more than men when they are buying for each other.
