Moreover, there the embalmers wash his body with good smell, and rinse it with water from the Nile. Then they cut in his body and removes many of the internal organs. It is important to remove these because they are the first part of the body to decompose. Of beliefs, they take is the heart out of the body because the men will need in the afterlife. In addition, they covered his body and stuffed with natron, which will dry it out. In the past, when the internal organs were removed from a body they were placed in hollow canopic jar, and it is name the mummy. In sum, people in Egypt have several traditions since the era of the pharaohs.

Which city is better- Abu Dhabi or Dubai? Why?

There are many fantastic cities around the world. Some cities are famous for history, while other cities are famous for shopping and entertaining. In the UAE, there are two important cities, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Both of these cities have some advantages and some disadvantages. In my view, Abu Dhabi is a better city because it is smaller, and it has many opportunities.


Abu Dhabi is better than Dubai because it is smaller. First, there is less traffic in smaller cities. For example, it only takes about 20 minutes to travel from downtown Abu Dhabi to the other side. On the other hand, it can take one and a half hour to travel across Dubai. Second, small cities like Abu Dhabi are often more organized. For instance, in Abu Dhabi the roads are planned, so it is easy to find shopping malls such as Marina Mall. However, in Dubai you can easily get lost on the roads because they are always changing due to construction work. In short, Abu Dhabi is better than Dubai because it is smaller.

There are more opportunities in Abu Dhabi than Dubai. First, there are more entertainment opportunities in Abu Dhabi. For example, Abu Dhabi has much nicer free beaches than Dubai. Unlike Dubai, the beach road near 30th street have many nice activities such as renting bicycles and numerous cafes like Colds tone ice-cream and restaurants. Moreover, Abu Dhabi actually has more nice hotels with nice restaurants such as Saint Regis on Saadyat Island and the Viceroy on Yas Island. Second, Abu Dhabi has more job opportunities because it was not affected by the economic crises of 2008 the same way as Dubai. For instance, Abu Dhabi helped Dubai by giving money. In sum, Dubai has fewer opportunities than Abu Dhabi.


To conclude, Abu Dhabi is better place to live than Dubai because it is not as big, and it has more entertainment and work opportunity. There are simply more jobs and nice places to go in Abu Dhabi. In my opinion, any one living in Dubai should conceder moving to Abu Dhabi.

Essay .. Do you prefer to learn with the IPAD or with worksheet? Why?

There are Many ways to study in the world. Some people prefer to study with the IPAD, and some people prefer to study with the worksheets. I support the two things are important for the people. Both of these have some advantages and disadvantages. In my view, IPAD as a better because it is easy to carry, and it is useful.

IPAD is a better than worksheets because it is easy to carry. First, we can load many programs and exercises. For example, we can load useful programs and some useful games. On the other hand, we use IPAD in university to study English. It helps us to find information easily and see all what we need in Internet. Also, it helps us to do projects and homework. In short, IPAD is a better than worksheets because it is easy to carry.

There are more things useful we can do in IPAD. First, there are more entertainment programs useful in IPAD. For example, IPAD has more education programs than worksheets. More over, IPAD helps us in the spelling to spell the incorrect words. It helps me to correct the words. In contrast, if a worksheet spells wrong, it can't correction the words. In addition, IPAD has good memory to save assignment, so if we lose, we can download it, or we can tell a friend send it to us. On the other hand, a worksheet maybe lost because some people don't keep it. Also, when it increases numbers of paper becomes a big and heavy load. In sum, IPAD is more useful than worksheet.

To conclude, IPAD is a better work than worksheet because it is not lost anywhere, and it has more entertainment programs. They have nice program, and it is simple. In my opinion, anyone who has a worksheet should have an IPAD.

Cultural differences in counting..

Many people assume that numbers and math are the all over the world, but scientists have discovered that this is not true.People in different parts of the world use different methods to count on their fingers. In the U.S, people begin counting with their first, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers. They count by folding the fingers inward. In China, people count by using a variety of finger positions. American uses tow hands to count to ten.Scientists have found that cultures and languages. Also differ when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers. A group of scientists worked with aboriginal children in Australia. In most cultures, people count on fingers to indicate a number, but not in these aboriginal tribes. In tests, aboriginal children listened to taps from a stick and put the markers to match the number of taps they heard. They had to connect numbers with sounds and with actions. The children put out the correct number of markers. They were able to count even though they didn't have words for numbers. Similar study researchers from the Massachusetts Institute to a remote location in northwestern to test members .they do have words that mean "some" and "more" but they don't have words for precise numbers such as one or three .Professor Edward said that most people assume that everyone knows how to count. They could learn, but its not useful in their culture .Everyday lives the Piraha appear to have no need for numbers. They never heard them use words like all or every. They use "hoi" but it can also mean "small" or describe a small amount. All humans have the ability to understand quantities. Number words in a porticoes language are a result of people needing numbers. Scientists are gaining a new understanding of which abilities. Of the work these scientist noe we know that people have different ideas.

The great plastic garbage patch..

The great plastic garbage patch..
Garbage is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean . In this ocean there's an area the northern Pacific Gyre . I this circular movement , the Currents collect garbage . And , 90 percent of this garbage is plastic . Eighty percent of it comes from land . The garbage come fro every country whose shoreline touches the Pacific . A sailor named Charles Moore discovered the patches in 1997 , when sailing near Hawaii. He calculated that there were more 3 million tons of plastic in the water . All of this garbage is hurting the environment . Fish and seabirds often think little pieces of plastic are a king of food . However , most plastic is not biodegradable . Scientists say that cleaning up the garbage patches is impossible . We have to control the amount and keep beaches.

Summarizing..
1- Zero Waste it is new idea for dealing with all the garbage in the world . Some cities like San Francisco already recycle 68percent of their trash . A company that's recycling food waste they put it all together and turn it into compost .

2- Before they started, Chris and her husband counted all the plastic items they used in a month. The total was 603, so for one month, they tried to live without plastic. They didn't succeed in not using any plastic, but they did bring the number of items down to 106.

Consider the ideas..
I think that recycling is a great thing. The problem is that we produce too much garbage in the first place. Some people will say that this is unfair because large families will pay more than people living a lot. Other things like water and electricity.

Summary of Mad Anthony summary unit 7 pp. 132-133.

1- Sometimes I heard someone use the phrase "throwaway society " . It is used as away of saying that we are too materialistic . The means of this thing too much of our stuff today s poor quality instead of being built to last .

2- The opposite way that we live in a throwaway society isn't a sign that things are worse . The true we don't repair things as much as we used to . And it's better that way .

3- To replace instead of repair shows that people are wealthy . Some people think that products today are less dependable than they used to be . In the other hand , most people would rather have something with a newer design , and vote with their wallets .

4- There are three reasons for Mad Anthony.first, lower prices. It costs less to make items, so they sell for less. Second, in creased wealth. People have more money than they did in the past. Those clothes were valuable, expensive and formed a significant part of their budget.

5- Another reasons for Mad Anthony is increased features. There is a good chance that the latest model includes some cool features that did not exist when your old one made. I hardly ever use my phone for an actual phone call any more because it can do so many other wonderful things. The benefit of increased features is another reason to buy something new. The throwaway society shows us how good.

Think before you toss

1- In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it. There are problem such as : have growing mountains of trash. For example, In the USA per person throw there trash more than 1960.

2- Products are plentiful and prices are low, so we would rather buy something new than repair it. We did want to repair something, many items-from toasters to TVs-are almost impossible to repair. These products contain many tiny, complicated parts. Some contain small computer chips. It's easier to throw these items away and buy new ones than to fix them.

3- factor is our love of disposable product. We are always looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier. We should use cloth kitchen towels. It is easier to use a paper towel once and toss it out. Companies manufacture thousands of different kinds of disposable items, such as paper plates. Plastic cups, cameras, and razors for shaving. These products aren't designed to last. Companies know that consumers will have to replace. The problem is that disposable products are contributing to our trash problem.

4- All the consumers, went the latest clothes, the best TVs and cell phones with many of features. Companies tell us to buy, buy and buy. Some of companies persuade us that newer and the best things. The result is that we throw away useful possession to make a new ones. For example, In U.S the consumers get rid of electronics and 80% of them go to a dump. Also, only about 18% of electronic are recycled.

5- We can see the consequences of this throwaway lifestyle . To lessen the amount of teach and to protect the environment are requiring people to recycle materials such as paper , plastic , glass . In the United Kingdom , although about 60 percent of a household's trash can be recycled .

6- There is another solution to repair our possessions instead of throwing them away . We should think about how to fix something to make it last . Also, we need to rethink our attitudes about sending . The best way to reduce the amount of trash and take care of our environment .
