My reflection


During the course I and my colleagues had some interesting subjects. We had to do summaries about them. The first subject was desert horsemen who keep the peace. I did not enjoy it very much because I don’t care about people who live in a desert. Writing about the people I don’t know about in my opinion is boring. But I had to do it because it is part of the study schedule.

Road crashes are one main cause of child death in UAE and this was the second subject we had. Now this kind of subject I like to have for my task. I enjoyed writing this summary because I am interested about the problems that we as humans are dealing with every day. The subject that Mr. Hedley has given us was good but sadly at was about people dying.

The third and final subject we got was about tour which provides insight into pearl diving. This one also I liked because it’s talking about grandfathers. As Shaik Zaid Al Nehyaan (God bless his soul) said who does not have a past he does not have a present.  This paragraph had impact on me. It made me think how hard living in the pas.

In conclusion, having those kinds of paragraphs can make us not only as a student but also as humans to appreciate the life we are living.

Pearls diving before and now


In the 20th century people were working in the sea. There were more than 1,000 boats. This work was the base for them to live. More than 20,000 were leaving their families looking for pearls. Now a day the pearl diving became a hobby and business.  Companies such as EMEG Emirates Marine Environmental Group are doing trips looking for pearls. Black pearls are what they are looking for specifically. As Major Ali Suwaidi said to Gulf News reporters pearl diving is not like a century ago. Back in those days pearls were traded for goods. Before the pearls were so cheap because there was a lot people getting them. In those days you could see pearl divers. Pearls became very expensive. Looking back in every 100 oysters you may be fine one pearl, said Ali Suwaidi. Hotels such as Jumeirah Beach Hotel are doing journeys for guests to look for pearls. And the advantage of that is whoever finds one can keep the pearl for himself.

Most important issue in UAE


These days the traffic has increased. People became more intelligent but they are very bad in thinking of their safety. Car accidents are the number one problem that is hovering in the community. This problem became the most talked about issue. The authorities are trying their best to educate people who sit behind the steering wheel.  Some organizers believe that the authorities have to make an effort, especially for kids who are 10 years old and their parents let them sit in the front without wearing seat belts.

Authorities like HAAD Health Authority Abu Dhabi, says that large numbers of children are dying because of those accidents. Today there are many companies providing a lot of products to keep your kids save while they are with you in the car. One of those products is child safety seats. According to some organizations over 2000 people have been killed in Dubai.  The number will decrease if shops like Baby Shop stores provide child safety products to customers.
