Cities and villages

                Across the world, there are many differences from one place to another, especially if you see the variety of big cities and small towns. In this essay I will compare and contrast the big cities and small villages.

                There are many similarities between cities and villages. The first similarity is that you can live in both of them. If you are in the city, you will see many people living in their homes and the same in the village. Another similarity is that both of them have schools. For example, you can send your children to their schools in the village and also in the city. Yet another similarity is that both have street and roads. If you are driving in the village, you don’t have to drive 4x4 cars because there are streets.

                Although there are many similarities there are three major differences. The first difference is the crowds. For example, if you are working in the city and your residence is five minutes from your work you need more than twenty minutes to reach it. Another difference is the shopping malls. In the city you can find many shopping malls, which are not in the village. The final difference is that the village can has farms. Most of the people in the village have farms or are living nearby are, and at the same time you will never find one farm in the city.

                Overall, the differences outweigh the similarities. I prefer the village, because there is no noise and you can go from place to place very easily.

The UAE urban renaissance

                The big desert and long beaches with small distributed villages in the barren land, has been changed in a few years to big cities and thousands of farms. In this essay, I`m going to write about the UAE in the past and now.

          There are several distinct similarities between the UAE forty years ago and now. The first similarity is that both have the same climate. If you lived, you would melt in the summer because of the hot weather. Another similarity is the tradition has not changed. Nowadays the UAE nationals wear dishdasha which is the same at before. Yet another clear similarity is the religion which is Islam.

          Although there are many similarities between the UAE now and before, there are three major differences. The first difference is the facilities. Nowadays you can find hospital or clinic in every place whether you are in the city center or in the suburbs. Another difference is the education. Before there were no universities; you could only find the small schools far away. The final difference is the urban renaissance. Last year was launched the tallest skyscraper in the world which was an amazing thing, because the country’s age is less than forty years.

          Overall differences outweigh the similarities. In my opinion, four decades ago the life was easy and responsibility was less than now, but I prefer the life right now.
