Leading car models

This table shows us four different car models and four specifications of each one of the cars.
In this essay I will be talking about the cars and describing them.
First of all let’s start with the Japanese cars which are the two cheapest in price; the Toyota Corolla, very reasonable in price around $15,55 and has a 14cc Engine and can go for 48 miles per gallon; the Nissan Micra is a bit less in price but as the price gets less so dose its engine performance which is 12cc but can go for 52 miles per gallon, it only coasts $15,500; the American cars are well known for their speed and strength, that’s where the Ford Focus comes in with a price of $15,800 but can only give you 1400cc which is no different than the Toyota Corolla but it can go for 50 miles per gallon; the Volkswagen Golf is a German car, not only does it have the biggest engine size it is well known of its German luxury, it is a bad choice to make for an economic car because it costs $18,250 and only gives 40 miles per gallon.
In conclusion, we can’t say some are good and some are bad, because it all depends on your financial statues and how much you can afford and spend reasonably; in my opinion I prefer the Volkswagen Golf due to its performance and power but still I can put all the other cars in perspective.

TOP ten date-producing countries 2001

Dates are one of the greatest assets of the Arabian countries. They are very good for our bodies because they contain lots of minerals; on the other hand it isn’t so good to consume them daily because of their sweetness which will probably cause diabetes.
The bar chart shows the top ten countries in date-production in 2001. You can notice that Egypt has the biggest production which is about 1.1 million tonnes. Strangely Libya which is in the same continent has the lowest, 100 thousand tonnes, which is a bit less than Sudan producing around 190 thousand tonnes. You might have noticed that Pakistan and Iraq both produce around 650,000 tonnes a year, which is good but not as much as Saudi Arabia producing 700,000 tonnes a year. When comparing Algeria, Iran, Oman and the U.A.E; Iran comes first with a production of 860,000 tonnes per year and in second place comes the U.A.E producing approximately 800,000 tonnes, which is more than Algeria and Oman with a combined production of 600,000 tonnes.
In conclusion I’d like to say that dates are not only a great way to get minerals but also a luxury treat and traditional sweet which is not very cheap to get, that is why H.H.S.Zayed Bin Sultan (R.I.P) was interested in this treasure.

U.K's government budget 1996

The pie chart shows how much money is spent by the government of the U.K on various categories in 1996.
As it is shown, the social security category has the greatest percentage of the chart, following that comes the Health and personals social services with £53 billion; education comes in third place with a budgie of £38 billion; in fifth place comes defence with a budget of 22 billion, which is less than the Other expenditure by £2 billion; if we combine the housing heritage and environment and the low and order we get a budget of £32 billion; next in line comes the industry, agriculture & employment with £13 billion; the transport has the least budget of the money spent by the U.K government in 1996 which is £9 billion.
It is obvious that the government spent about half it’s budget on social security and health and personal social services, on the other hand the transportation which was the category having the least spending of budget.

The UAE Vs Spain

Nearly every country in the world has a football team, and the UAE and Spain are no exception. I’d like to show and point out the similarities and differences between the two teams, and tell you which of them I would prefer to watch.

FIFA is an international body for regulating football, and like Spain the UAE also is a part of it.
They both have the same amount of players and both obey and follow the same rules and regulations.
Nevertheless, there are a lot of differences between them. First of all, the teams performance and level in expertise due to their trainings and practices while the UAE mostly plays local teams, Spain plays with many teams around the world.
It is said that Spain is a better team. Over looking that, I still would prefer to watch the UAE play. There are many reasons for this but the most important reason is that to see the UAEs great potential and how it evolves and gets better.
I mostly enjoy watching the UAE soccer teams because I live here and I am an Emirati.
It is thrilling to see emerging skills of the local players.
Spain on the other hand is a strong team and preferred to be watched with other teams of its level and skills.

In conclusion, I enjoy watching both teams but I personally prefer to watch the UAE team because to me I see that more thrilling and intertaning.
