Compare and contrast living in a village with living in a city

In this essay I’m going to write about the similarities and differences between a big city and a small village.

It’s obvious that they have some similarities such as population. Both of them have a number of people who live in them. A second similarity is accommodation. Both places have housing for people to live in. The final similarity is roads. Both places have roads to drive on.

Although they have a few similarities, they also have differences. The first difference is facilities. Hospitals, malls, schools and big supermarkets, are available in the city, whereas in a village they are limited. The second difference is entertainment, in a city there are some activities going on during the whole year such as the Yas Island activities and Dubai shopping festival. Whereas in the village it’s difficult to have these things because of the limitation of the people. The final difference is pace of life. For example a city has a busy life style. Moreover a village is quiet and less noisy and that makes it easy for a peaceful life.

In conclusion a city and village are both for living. But I prefer living in a city which is better than a village because of the availability of facilities to meet my needs and the entertainment that is happening in the city.

The past & the present of the UAE

                                       The past and the present of the UAE

The past and the present of the UAE are two different things. They have similarities and differences. I am going to write about it.

The first similarity is the climate. The region of the UAE is hot and humid. This thing has not changed in the last 40 years. A second similarity is the traditions such as hunting by falcons. This tradition has been passed from one generation to another. The final thing is the royal family which is still the same.

Although there are similarities there also differences. The first difference is the transportation. In the past our grandfathers had donkeys or camels to furnish their needs but, today you have the comfortable cars that make your life easy. The second difference is social life. Before everybody helped and met with each other whereas now you are using technology to meet your close ones and you stay at home. Finally education: in the past they went to the mosque for reading and writing from the emam. In the present day you have the university,the internet and big libraries to meet your needs.

As you see, the past and the present are things completely different. I prefer the modern life because the development has to keep going and this has to be thanks to our older generation for their big help to the country.
