Starting in 1996, there was difference in the number of visitors from Spain to Canada. There were almost 300,000 Spanish visitors, while Japan got almost 850,000 visitors. Then, the number of visitors from Spain sharply increased between 1996 and 1999, but the number of visitors from Japan remains steady from 1996 to 2001. The number of visitors from Japan decreased sharply between 2001 and 2003 from 800,000 to 500,000. On the other hand, the number of visitors from Spain was 500,000 in 2000 and dramatically increased until it reached 600,000 in 2004. This was the highest number of visitors from Spain in these 10 years. The number of visitors from Japan in 2003 was 500,000 and slightly increased until it reached 690,000 in 2006.
In conclusion, the number of visitors from Japan outnumbered the Spanish visitors over the 10 year period.

Etisalat & websites blocking



The internet is everywhere in the World and there are a lot useful things for every one educated people especially they can gain a lot of information. On the other hand, there are some web sites which are not good like hacker and things against country rules and religions. In this essay I will discuss the pros and cons of Etisalat blocking access to websites deemed counter to the country’s morality standards.
First of all, internet is very useful technology and there are a millions of websites we can access. Although, there are useful websites, there are bad websites. For example, websites for news and a lot of products around the World with their prices. Moreover, many websites for educating student which will help them in many subject like doing some experiment and you can see it recorded by video also some websites show discussion between engineers sharing knowledge all around the world.
Secondly, as I said there are a lot of bad websites and political websites which is blocked from Etisalat. One reason, that some websites show naked pics which is against the respect of others privacy. Another reason, some websites talking and discuss political things which will encourage some people to fight with their government because of what they saw in these websites. Last reason, hacker websites with hacking programs for anyone to use them which can access any computer that not protected with the latest anti various program.
In conclusion, I think it’s good to control and block some websites and there are arguments for both sides, but I believe the case for blocking sites is stronger.

Examinations for assessment


Nowadays, all colleges are using tests to assess students, but some of the colleges are using new styles of assessment by teacher assessment. We have both ways in some subject. Some students agree that examinations are an unfair way of assessment and should not be used at the HCT. In this essay, I will discuss whether or not exams should be used for assessment.
The assessment strategies used in courses at the HCT in the UAE are tests which will be over a specific period of time. For example, Math’s test will be at a period of one and half hour sometimes it will be easy and student finish the test before the time finish. Therefore, everyone will be happy, but it will not be like this all the time. Sometimes it will be difficult and there is not enough time. Second, students might not be in a good mood or he had a hard week or he was sick so he will get a low score on the test. The fact is that a test only measures performance on one day of the year and at one moment in time. Results indicate that assessment in class will be more accurate and teachers can assess the student by many ways how the students participate in class and his attendance also his performance. For example some students were careless at class and they have poor attendance but in the exam they got higher marks than the others. In addition, teachers tend to be satisfied with these assessment strategies, but suggest that alternative modes of assessment should also be considered. Students do not find such tests adequate for assessing their real performance in most courses. The exams used to improve student’s skill, because they will spend more time to study. Moreover, the exams let teachers to know what the student understand and do not understand of the course.
In conclusion, I think if we make 70% of the final result will be by class assessment by the teachers in class and 30% for tests it will be fair.

Changes in Milk Consumption in USA (1950 – 2000)



The graph compares annual consumption of low fat and whole milk in liters per person in the second half of the 20th century in USA. Overall, Americans drink much less milk now than at the start of the period.
The biggest change was the dramatic drop in total milk consumption. It fell from about 130 liters per person in 1950 to only around 90 liters five decades later. The second major was in the type of milk drunk. At the beginning, whole milk was more popular at 120 liters, but it fell sharply to about a quarter that by 2000. In contrast, the amount of low fat milk consumed shot up. It rose from roughly 10 liters in 1950 to five times that in 1980, when consumption was almost tied with whole milk.
In conclusion, the American diet with regard to dairy changes significantly over the time represented. Total consumption decreases but low-fat finally outranks whole milk.

1) Argument essay



Have you ever considered the fact that every year millions of animals undergo painful death as a result of scientific research? While most people think animal testing is necessary, others are upset by what they see as needless suffering. This essay outlines some of the arguments for and against animal testing.
First, let’s look at the advantages. One very positive point is that many medical treatments and procedures have been developed from such experiments. Since animals share many features with humans, scientists use animals to test the safety and effectiveness of newly developed drugs. Moreover, there is a large supply of animals. Some, such as mice and rats, have many babies, and there is no danger of extinction for these species. Finally some advocates think that animals are less valuable than people. If there is a mistake, it will not cost a human life.
However there are also a number of arguments against animal testing. Perhaps the most important is that animals may be suffering unnecessarily. Critics do not believe that every new drug needs to be tested on animals. Furthermore, some feel animal testing is ineffective; they point out that many drugs still have to be withdrawn from the market despite extensive testing. Last, some campaigners would like to see alternative used. They feel more humane testing is possible and, too, that we could rely more on organ donors.
In conclusion, we need to ensure that animals used for experimental purposes do not suffer much pain. Although some animal testing may be unavoidable at present, treating our fellow creatures mercifully will demonstrate our humanity.

Drugs every where

There are many things which affect countries around the world .One of these is the use of illegal drugs. Although illegal drug use is a serious problem, there are many ways to solve this situation. In this essay I will discuss the problems of drug use on society, and then suggest some solutions to these problems.
First of all, one of the main problems is how drugs will effect people’s health like sickness for both physical and mental also he will be unable to do his work in proper way. Another problem is crime associated with buying and selling drugs and this kind of problem which creates many problems like the need for money and the buyer will try to find the money by any way legally by taking loans from the bank or illegal like stealing others money. Moreover, social problems like family separated father will be in jail also their mother if she uses drug and the children will be lost. Drug abuse is a vicious circle which affects many people in this world.
Nevertheless, there are many solutions to this problem. The first solution in this battle is to educate the people also the government should let the people know more through the media about some examples to the people who were using drug and how their live end with. Moreover, make special clinic to treat the people from drug effect with secret information.
In conclusion, the fight against drugs will not end but we have to do our best on this issue. As we know the happy and save countries start from happy and save family.

Problems & solution in Abu Dhabi


In this essay, I’m going to talk about problems facing Abu Dhabi city which is the capital of The United Arab Emirates and some suggest solution to these problems.
First of all, transportation or traffic and the main reason for this problem is population growth. The solution suggested for this kind of problem might be trains and more buses which will help the transportation and on the other hand it will reduce the traffic jams in the city. Secondly, the price of rent increasing to high levels which makes many people spread out from the city to the nearest places for cheaper prices. One solution to these problems is policy by the government to control the amount of increase to 5% per year. Another possible solution would be building more houses and buildings this would bring down the cost of renting.
In conclusion, the most important things to help at transportation problem are trains and bus service and the solution for high rent is building more houses.
