5 # Using a mobile while driving (argument)


Many people use the car when they want to go somewhere because they want to arrive in a short time. However, some people used a mobile phone while driving which leads to accidents. This essay will talk about the pros and cons of using mobile phones while driving.
There are several arguments against using phones while driving. The first argument is the unfocused driver. For example, some people while talking they are not focused on driving so they will make an accident. The second argument can be bad news. For example, if you hear bad news you might get angry and get distracted which leads to accidents. Yet another argument is the speed. For example, while you are talking on the phone sometimes you forget you are driving and increase the speed of the car and have an accident.
There are also some major points for using phones while driving. The first point is the emergency situation. For example, in cause of the emergency you need to call someone to help. The second point is the using maps. For example, if you need to use the map application on your phone, you need to see the screen. Yet another point is the businessmen. For example the businessmen need to take important business calls.
In conclusion, using mobile phones while driving or not using phones both have advantages. In my opinion, not using phones while driving is better than using phones because it will save our life and avoid accidents.

6 # Skills


In the college we learn many things that will help us in our life. However, we will use anything we have learned in college. I will talk about what skills I have learned in ENGL 175.
There are many skills I learned from ENGL 175. The first advantage is the time. For example, I can finish the reading exam in one hour whereas in the past I cannot finish three reading in one hour only two. The second advantage is the way link between paragraphs. For instance, I was having a big problem in linking sentences and paragraphs while now, when entered into this course has become the easiest thing I have. Yet another advantage is the         . For example, I didn’t know the English writing on the computer.
In conclusion, I learned many skills will help me in my study. However, the college teach me ENGL 175 to help me and I will use this skills in my study and my job in future. For instance, in the work sometimes you should write essay about anything so I will write the essay quickly.

4 # The technology (argument)


Nowadays, the technology has evolved and helps the people to know anything that happened in the world. However, each home has TV and computer because the need it to get culture. I will explain the pros and cons of the technology vs. Radio and newspaper.
There are many several arguments of using the technology. The first argument is the news. For example, the people know any new news within minutes whereas in the past, the people know the news after two days or more. The second argument is the culture. For instance, the people in the past just know the political news by newspaper and the radio whereas now the culture of the people increased and now known on political, life and sport.
There are also many several points of not using the technology. The first point is the health. For instance, the people watch the TV along time and don’t move so they became obese. One more example, the people didn’t keep enough space from the TV so he has problem in eyes. Another point is how he is thinking. For example, when the people sit at the TV or the computer he sees anything he want and on internet we can find many things contrary to our customs and our religion whereas in the past the newspaper and radio carried political news of this without any news of our customs and our religion. Newspapers are low tech that everything can use.
In conclusion, using the technology or not to use both have advantage. In my opinion, using the technology is better than not using because we need to increase our culture and we need to know everything in the world.

2 # Examination (argument)



All colleges in the world use exams. Some students feel that examinations have a significant role in the return on the student and others argue that the exams do not have a useful role for the student. I will explain the pros and cons of using exams in college.
There are many several positives for using exams in the college. The first point is to know the level of students. For example, in the college every month the students should do an exam to know and learn new skills. Another point is that students will review materials. For instance, the student must review everything that was taken in the college to take root in his memory and to apply it in his career in the future. Yet another point is that exams are equal for the students. For example, each student takes same the exams.
However, there are also some major negatives. The first argument is that there is too much material. For example, students have a lot of material and they cannot focus on all the materials and there is not enough time to study for all the examinations. Another argument is that projects should be used for grades. For instance, the report projects are a better way to grade and are easier for both students and teachers.  
In conclusion, to use exams in college or not to use them both have advantages. In my opinion, I believe that using exams in college is better than without exams because when use exams in the college we will know the level for students and this will help them to improve. Also, they can acquire new skills.

~ Obesity in the UAE ~ (problem & solution)



Today, we have many problems in the UAE. One of them is obesity. Obesity is a big problem here with the knowledge that more than half the people are obese. I will outline some problems linked to obesity like lifestyle addiction and suggest some solution.
There are many problems in lifestyle in my countries. One of the reasons is the people are less active. For example, many people don’t go to anywhere unless he takes the car even if the desired locations close. Another problem is the money. People spend a lot of money on food and they can take advantage of their money in small projects. A third problem is the sports. For example, many people don’t play sport and after the marriage they exercise less. One more problem is the young people. For example, many young people spend a long time outside the home and eat fast-food. Overall, these are some of the problems that lead to obesity.
There are several things that can be done about these problems. The people should not use the car if they want to go somewhere close but they should walk and build healthy body. The government has prepared places dedicated to play sport and the people should be play sports to less the obesity.
In conclusion, there are several ways to build a healthy body and less obese. However, the government should teach people the benefits of exercising and encourage people to eat at healthy restaurants instead of fast food.

~ Fast-food and the UAE ~ (cause & effect)


In the past people used to eat healthy food, they went to work and came back to home to eat fresh cooked food with their family. Today, people eat fast-food because everyone has work, so nobody at home to make fresh food. All of them get  fast-food. There are many reasons and some effects on society I will describe.
            There are many reasons for the change of the people's diets. One of the main reasons is the change in lifestyle. For example, many people work, he doesn’t have time to go back home and eat cooked food because nobody’s home; his wife working is so he get fast-food which is better and faster. Another cause is the money. Many young people have money and they spend a lot of time outside the home so they will get the fast-food because it not expensive and faster. Yet another reason is to provide new things in life. For example, many people like to try new things when they watch the advertising.
            However, there are some serious effects of fast food. One effect is on health. For example, those who eat fast-food often become obese and will be diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure. Another result of fast-food is the loss of your family, because you don’t eat with them. A final effect is economic. For example, the people spend the money for fast-food while they could keep the money and spend it on something useful.
In conclusion, the people used to eat healthy food. However, people should learn not to choose fast-food and eat good food at home.
