Nowadays, Abu Dhabi is suffering from traffic congestion and parking problems. The government wants to solve this problem. In this essay I will show you causes of this problem and give you some solution for it.
There are many causes that affect traffic congestion and parking issues. First of all, we know that Abu Dhabi is a small island and the place is crowded. Another thing is that the population is increasing which leads to more cars for each person. Also, the industry and commerce in Abu Dhabi is increasing rapidly which leads to more trucks and vans to transfer the products that they produce. Furthermore, the tourism in Abu Dhabi is increasing year by year because of new buildings, great places, beaches and hotels which lead to more taxis. This affects traffic. Also more traffic leads to more stress on the drivers and that makes more accidents.
There are some solutions that may help to overcome the traffic congestion and the parking problems. First of all the government is trying to build a metro which will make the travel easy for some people and may decrease the amount of cars. Another solutions is that the government forcing the companies that build new buildings to have underground parking. It helps to solve the parking issue. Also, the government is trying to change the construction of the streets to make bridges, overpasses and underpasses and this makes less traffic congestion.
In conclusion, I think that the metro will help to decrease the amount of cars, but it’s expensive. Also the underground parking will help to solve parking issues. This makes the streets less crowded

Age of marriage
The bar chart and the table give us some information about the age of marriage. The bar chart shows us the decline in the percentage of women aged 15 to 19 who are married in some Arab countries. The table shows us the age of first marriage between men and women in 14 countries.
The bar chart shows that in all 6 countries the percentage of 15-19 years old brides has fallen over the past 3-4 decades. The bar chart shows that the percent has declined dramatically in UAE from 57% to 8%. The falls in Libya and Kuwait are also striking. But the fall in Palestine did not change dramatically.
The table shows that in all countries the age of first marriage in men is between med twenties to late twenties. On the other hand, for the women is between early twenties to med twenties.
In conclusion the age of marriage is changing dramatically in Arab countries. Women get married in their early twenties. On the other hand men get married in their late twenties.

UK budget 1996
The total budget of the UK government in 1996 was £315 billion. This pie chart shows what the government spent the money on. There are ten separate categories shown on the chart.
The biggest item by far was social security. At £100 billion, this was almost twice as much as the next category, health and personal services. Next came education with £38 billion and defence with £22 billion. There was less than £20 billion spent on the next three categories, which were: first, law and order; next, industry, agriculture and employment; then, housing, heritage and environment. Transport had the smallest budget, with £9 billion. Debt interest was £25 billion and other expenditure was £23 billion.
The outstanding feature of the pie chart is that expenditure on social security, £100 billion, was almost as much as the total for the next three categories: health, education and defence, £113 billion.

Date producing countries in 2001
The bar graph shows date production in tonnes for the world's top producers in 2001. Ten countries in the Gulf region and North Africa are featured.
First, Egypt was responsible for the lion's share of production, with over a million tonnes, but Iran was a close second, with almost 0.9 million. Following them came the UAE and Saudi Arabia, rivalling each other with about 740,000 tonnes each. Pakistan and Iraq, with outputs of approximately 630,000, were not far behind. The rest of the nations, however, were far less productive. Algeria supplied the world with nearly 400,000 tonnes and Oman around quarter of a million. In contrast, the harvests in Libya and Sudan were far less plentiful, yielding under 0.2 million each.
In summary, date production was most abundant in Egypt and Iran. In contrast, the countries with the smallest output were Libya and Sudan.

Types of car
This table describes the different specifications of four types of car. It gives details of price, country of origin, engine capacity and fuel consumption.
Clearly, the most expensive of the four is the Volkswagen Golf. There is very little to choose between the other three. The German Volkswagen has the biggest engine at 1600cc. The Japanese Toyota Corolla and the American Ford Focus both have a capacity of 1400cc, with the Japanese Nissan Micra being the smallest in engine size with 1200cc. Not surprisingly, the smallest, the Micra, is the most economical in terms of fuel consumption and the Volkswagen the least so. Both the Ford and the Toyota are between the other two, and very similar in terms of fuel consumption.
As you'd expect, the biggest car, in terms of engine size, is the most expensive and uses most fuel, while the smallest, the Micra, is the cheapest in terms of both price and fuel costs.
