Abu Dhabi before and after the discovery of oil

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. Abu Dhabi has changed significantly in the last years. In this essay I will compare and contrast between Abu Dhabi before and after the discovery of oil.

Before in Abu Dhabi we used to travel from place to another by raiding camels or horse nowadays ever thing has been changed and we travel by cars and air planes. Nowadays technology is ever were you have computers, T.V etc ….. before we don’t have many thing we depend on our self. In businesses we used to go fishing, diving for Pearl. Nowadays our businesses depend on oil and some new industries.

In my opinion, past emirates live better because they know how to Depends on him self .

compare and contrast: studying abroad and in the UAE

Nowadays education is very important in our life and our government is doing best to give us the best education. While many students like to go overseas to study, others prefer to stay at home. In my essay I am going to compare and contrast between studying at university abroad and in the UAE.

There are many similarities and differences between them. I will begin with the similarities. The first similarity is that Both UAE colleges and foreign universities require a lot of work.. Another similarity is that both have to use the internet to search and complete projects. The last similarity is that both of them can choose your own subject to study.

Although there are similarities also there are some differences. The first difference is that Studying in the UAE is easier because you are near your family.. The second difference is that In high school or in college in the UAE, there is always someone to talk to or to go out with. In contrast, if you study abroad, you have to make new friends or learn to be alone.. The last difference is that student who study abroad will get certificate which it is better for them to work anywhere that they want.

In my opinion studying home is better because you will be near your family and friend. In UAE our government helps us a lot.

shopping in malls and shopping in souqs.

Shopping is one of the most relaxing things to do. In this essay I will compare and contrast between shopping in malls and shopping in souqs.

There are many similarities and differences between them. I will begin with the similarities. The first similarity is both contain different types of shops. The second similarity is that they contain some products. The last similarity is that they both make advertisements.

Despite these similarities, there are also some differences. The first difference is that malls are closed and it is cold place for shoppers. The last differences the parking’s. it difficult to park in souqs but it is much easier to park in malls.

In conclusion, I prefer shopping in malls because in the mall there are cinema, when you want to park the car you can park it easier and malls are clean places.

Life in Abu Dhabi and Bani Yas

Have you ever tried living away from the city I have. I used to live in the of the city when my dad built our villa in Mohd bin zayed city which is half hour away from the city. It is very hard to adjust because there are a lot of benefit of living in the city.

that is that you are surrounded by all the places a person need in daily life like grocer shops , markets , banks and hospitals etc ……… Now when I used to reach college in 10 minutes I have to leave an hour before because of the traffic on the way. Same is for mostly everything I have to come to the city.

But also there are a few good things about living in baniyas is that there is no rush around where we live and it is pleasantly quiet and there is a lot of lands outside the city are much bigger so we have a very nice big garden, swimming pool and lots of place to play football.


In conclusion , living in baniyas is better for me because I like quiet places.
