Driving in the desert about 10km from Liwa
The old man
When me and my friend Khalid reached Khaldia Street. We saw an old man drinking and we wanted to see where he was heading for because he seemed sick and tired. Suddenly, he fell in the street and he started coughing blood. Khalid rushed to the man to see what happened for him while I was calling the ambulance. Khalid searched for his wallet to find something to identify him, so we can call to some of his family. Then the ambulance came and took the old man to the hospital.
At the end, we visited the old man and asked the doctor about his condition. The doctor told as that the old man has cancer in his kidney and he has a few days to live. The doctor was afraid to tell the old man the bad news, so we told him. He accepted the bad news and he decided to visit his lovers and family to spend his left time with them.

Accident Desert
One day I was camping in Alwathba desert in Abu Dhabi with my friends. I was with my two uncles playing football there and suddenly we heard somebody shouting and calling “help help”. He said he had been in an accident involving two cars and some camels. I was very surprised and the accident was in the middle of the desert close to where I was camping.
The accident was very frightening and when I heard somebody calling “help” I was really shocked because we had been enjoying ourselves. The two cars were a write off and some of the camels were injured and some were fine. The guys who were driving the cars were injured too. The doors of one of the two cars were locked and we couldn’t open it because it was stuck called so the police and the ambulance to help them. Finally they felt good and they stayed with us after I invited them
In the end we helped the drivers and cooked camel meat for lunch. It was fantastic day except for the accident but we did many useful things and we helped our friends the drivers who will never forget that day.

UAE in the Past and Now
The UAE has changed enormously over the last 40 years. This has been because of the discovery of oil. This essay will discuss the differences between the UAE then and now.
Many years age people did not have as much wealth as they do now. They did not have many cars because in the past everything was not available and people did not have much money as they do now. There was not much wealth before oil. People in the past used camels for their traveling and to go anywhere took a long time. In addition people did not have large houses as we have now. Then, with the education there were no colleges or universities. Students went to the mosques to study. There are not many hospitals. For example, doctors were not available everywhere and in the past most people used traditional medicines.
On the other hand if we look at the UAE now it has developed so much that it is almost unrecognizable. Oil was discovered and the wealth and GDP of the country changed. People have a lot of families now and have many cars. In addition, we have highly paid jobs with good salaries. Also , there are large villas. For example my uncle’s house is a big villa and there are 4 floors and 20 rooms, so there are huge changes. In addition, there are many colleges, university and schools that have a modern curriculum with subjects like mathematics, science, English and IT. There are many good hospitals such as Zayed military hospital and Khalifa hospital with many good doctors.
To sum up I think the UAE now is better than what it was before. So life has become more comfortable and safe.

UAE and Oman
There are many countries in the Gulf region, the UAE and Oman are two of them. They are neighbors with many similarities and some differences. This essay will talk about the similarities and differences between UAE and Oman.
If we look at the similarities we see that both have the same language which is Arabic. Another similarity is they are situated on the Arabian Gulf also they are in the GCC. In addition, they have the same religion which is Islam. They have similar governments with ruling families. For example in the UAE the ruling family is the Al Nahyans and in Oman it is the Al Bosidy. The landscape is similar too. There are wadis, sandy deserts, mountains, sebkhas and gravel plains, so the weather is almost same in both countries because of this.
On the other hand there are differences between these counties too. The most important difference is the population. In the UAE the population is proximately 4 million while Oman is around 2.5 million. Another difference is the economy. The UAE has a lot of oil whereas Oman has agriculture. A final difference is the size of the countries. In the UAE is 220,000 square miles while Oman is three times the size of the UAE.
In conclusion, in my opinion we can see that the UAE is better because the differences outweigh the similarities. The population is bigger and the economy is much better because of the oil. We have better shops, hotels, streets, roads and buildings.
