Blocking Websites (Argument 1)


            In the U.A.E, Etisalat is the best company for telephone services. Some people agree with Etisalat blocking internet access to websites deemed counter to the country’s morality standards. This essay will talk about blocking websites and about the pros and cons.    
           There are several major advantages about Etisalat blocking websites. First, children can’t see the bad websites with bad pictures and videos for example; some websites teach children bad things. Secondly, we can use only the right websites to develop the country because there are some websites that have dangerous effects on our country. Also, when blocking websites nobody can use the websites (bad websites) that affect people. Lastly, when using this system nobody can see hacker’s websites because we block websites. Also, when we block websites bad people cannot change the matters of the country.
           However, there are many important disadvantages about blocking websites. The first disadvantage is some people think this system is not a free system to block websites in the internet, because some people need some blocked websites to develop their skills. Secondly, many people have many ideas about the websites and when we block websites he can’t follow his ideas about developing the websites. Finally, some people like to publish what they think and this system can’t allow this. For example, some people want to establish sides but some problems will be facing him because some websites are blocked.
        In conclusion, I think there are many advantages and disadvantages about blocking websites. In my opinion, l prefer this system of blocking sites because it has many benefits in our life, So we must still block websites for the future for all people when we use the websites, to use  them in the right way.

Making the Mobile phone illegal ( Argument #5 )




               Mobile phone use has both positive and negative aspects. This essay will discuss the pros and cons of making it illegal to speak on the phone while driving.
               Let me deal with the positive side of mobile phone use. The main point, I would like to describe is that while talking your are not focused on driving For example, If you hear bad news you might get angry and get distracted. A second point is that while you are talking on the phone it is easy to hare an accident because when you are talking you drive too fast without feeling it. I can also argue that if you use the mobile phone you think about talking and you think to solve the problem if you have a problem and not think about driving.
             I think there are also negative arguments against the topic. In case of an emergency like you need to call for help for example, if you sick. The most important point is that if you need to use the map application on your phone and you need to see the screen of your mobile phone. Another point, business men need to talk because he has important business calls to take.
            In conclusion, I think I agree with making the mobile phone illegal, because the life of people is most important than anything in the world. In my opinion we must make the use of mobile phone in illegal when we drive.    
                         

Examinations ( Argument 2)


                * The examination is the most common way of assessing the student in most countries in the world. This essay wills discuses about the positives and negatives of examinations.
               * Let me deal first with the positive side of examinations. The main positive point I would like to describe is that the examinations help the student to know their level because the marks of exams give a view of the skill level. Second point that the examinations help the students to review materials and this helps the student to remember the information. The third point is that the examination is equal for all students and gives all students examined the same opportunity.     
              * I think there are also negative points of examinations. I think the most important point is that an examination has too much material for the student and this support made the student more nervous and less concentrated. A further point is that examinations do not have enough time to give a complete answer or complete most questions. Also, recent research has shown that it’s difficult to grade for teachers.

            * In conclusion, I think the education will be better with examinations because it gives a good view of the student level, but also this includes the reports and projects which help teacher for grading.

Second, some people do not care about the traffic rules so that causes many problems like accidents and serious injuries. As a result, that will decrease the population of the U.A.E .Many young people drive their cars without licenses in many places like outside the capital.

Secondly, we must increase the fines on the people who drive their car at high speeds. For example, when the policeman catches the person who drives his car too fast in the street, he must take his car to the police station and pay a big fine. Finally, we must to make interviews with police men to give people some advices, about good driving.  
           In summary, we must respect the rules of the traffic to decrease the traffic accidents. When people respect the rules they will live in our country without any traffic accidents and without any serious injuries.
