Congestion in Abu Dhabi

          Thirty years ago there were only a few cars in narrow streets in Abu Dhabi. Nowadays it suffers from traffic congestion, and it is one of the most highly developed cities in the Middle East with the roads bumper to bumper with modern cars. In this essay I will write about the causes and the solutions for these problems.

          There are many things that cause the traffic congestion, and one of them is the growing population. We can see that the number of foreign labourers has increased, and also the number of local people is growing rapidly. Another reason is the construction. In Abu Dhabi there are many repairs and developments in streets which make the drivers drive slowly and also it increases the number of trucks. An additional reason is the young drivers. It is clear that most accidents are caused by them, because of their indifference to regulations and laws.

          These problems can be solved and we can reduce the congestion. The first solution is improving the existing system, this can be done by making bridges and skylines and they have to cancel the traffic light system on the main roads. Another solution is making a limitation of the number of cars per house hold.  We can see that every person in the UAE national family has a car, so this increases the vehicles in the streets. Yet another solution is the staggered hours. They can divide the start time of the works to prevent the rush hour or reduce it.

          Overall, I think most of the solutions are easy to do and it doesn’t need massive effort. There are more solutions that can help the city to reduce the congestion.

Obesity in the UAE

                Across the world, there are many restaurants. In the UAE you can find different kinds of restaurants, and this guides the people who like food to eat more and increase their weight.

          There are many reasons which also could affect the people to increase their weight. For example, few of the UAE nationals are doing exercise or going to the gym for fitness. Another reason is the kind of food they are eating and the quantity of it. An additional problem is the knowledge. The people have do not read and also they weren’t educated when they were young about the dangers of eating food too much and what it can lead to.

          These problems can be solved when there are solutions. One of the solutions is doing lectures in the schools, colleges and university about the danger of being fat. Another solution is building more gyms or some places for walking and doing exercises. Also the people who are obese, should check with doctors monthly or weekly for diets. Another solution is making extra sport classes in schools.

          These are some ideas which can help solve the problem. The person should do exercise whether he is overweight or not, and everyone should have a check up for himself every six months. Otherwise, these problems of obesity can affect their life when they become old, and also can affect the young.
