Top Ten Date-Producing Countries, 2001

The bar graph shows date production in tones for the world's top producers in 2001. Ten countries in the Gulf region and northern Africa are featured.

First, Egypt took the lions share of production with over a million tones, but Iran is close second with almost 0.9 million. Following them came the UAE and Saudi Arabia, rivaling other with about 740,000 tones each. Pakistan and Iran with output 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 tones and Oman around a quarter of million. In contrast, harvests in Oman and countries northern Africa is less plentiful. Finally, Sudan's and Libya's crops yielded under 0.2 million each.

Big Mac

The bar charts shows how long a cleaner in Mac Donalds has to work before he can afford to buy a big Mac. It is also shows the cost of Big Mac in some countries. I am going to compare the price of Big Mac and the salary of the cleaner.

The most notable in the charts shows that workers in south Asia countries like Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and china have to work for long hours in order to be able to buy big Mac Burger. In the poorest countries have to work more to more hours to order Big Mac Burger. Pakistan 14 hours, India 9 hours Sri Lanka 6 hours and China 4 hours. Otherwise the workers in richest countries like New Zealand and Hong Kong need to work less hours to order one Big Mac Burger for each. One important fact is that there is balance between number of workers and the cost of Big Mac Burger in Malaysia.

Overall. As you can see workers in poorer countries have to work more time than workers in richer countries in order Big Mac Burger.

Travel in Wales

The table shows us the number of miles travelled by various forms of transport in two given dates. In, 1990 people travelled 4740 miles, but in 2005 the number increased to 6475 in miles.

The main increase in the transport in both years was by car and the number increased from about 3 m in 1990 to nearly 5 m in 2005. Distance travelled by train also went up clearly from 1990 to 2005. But the number travelled by coach has been doubled in 2005. According to the article, distance travelled by walking had little change and the number went up from 255 in 1990 to 258 in 2005. I n addition we can mention that most people are travelled by local bus and the distance of the number miles has been decreased from 429m in 1990 to 274m in 2005.
Finally, as you can see that, cars are taking as the most popular transport in 2005. And also you can notes that trains, taxi, and local bus are increasing clearly

My Life

My name is Oqab Saeed Al-muhairy, I’m from Ras Al Khaima but I was born in Abu Dhabi and live with my family till now.

I lived in Abu Dhabi in a town called Baniyas, I’ve been living there for almost 10 years. After 10 years of living in Abu Dhabi my famiy and I moved to the capital of U.A.E “ Abu Dhabi” untill now I’m living in the capital of U.A.E. Personaly I’m not the type of person who likes to travel. when I was young I used to play football in al Jazeera club, but I had to stop playing because of my injuries and my father advised me to finish my studies. So I decided to listen to my fathers advice and go and study.

I finished my high school and becamed successfull at my studies . Now I’m studying in A.D.M.C and my major is com-tech “Communication Technology” I like my major because it has nice experies its quite but a lot of work and sometime hard work. Another thing why I like it because I like taking pictures and interviewing people and getting to know how to communicate with others.

In my freetime I have some hobbies ... for example I like to do is go shopping with my friends and going out cruising billiyard , football and tennis.
Finaly, hopefully in the future I will have a good qualification in my studies and of course it will change my life and have a nice life with a nice family.
