Problem & Solution: Traffic Congestion and Parking Problems

Traffic congestion and parking problems are major problems which the biggest cities in the world are suffering from and no doubt Abu Dhabi is one of them.

One major cause of the traffic congestion and parking problems is the increase of the number of cars in Abu Dhabi. There are several factors for this cause such as the average number of cars in each family in Abu Dhabi which is at least two cars and the increase of young drivers every year. Another major cause is the rapid growth of the economy and because of that the numbers of tourists are increasing every year which leads to an increase in taxi cars. The fact that Abu Dhabi is an island and we can’t expand it and the increase of construction sites are also considered as major causes. The last cause is the hot weather in the city and of course no one will walk in this weather.

There are several solutions to solve this problem. One solution is to create a modern public transportation which connects all parts of Abu Dhabi with each other like metro and bus stations. Another solution is we can put huge fines on the person who has more than one car. Yet another solution is that we can relocate the major places outside Abu Dhabi such as the ministries, universities and colleges.

In conclusion I think these solutions will not solve the problem even if we create public transportation and we put fines no one will use the public transportation because of the tradition of the citizens.

Age of Marriage

Here we have two different graphs. The chart graph shows us the changes in the age of marriage in six Arab countries. The table graph is about the age of first marriage in twelve Arab countries plus Turkey and Iran.

From the chart graph we figure out that the percentage of women between fifteen and nineteen who are married has fallen during the past few decades. The UAE had the most dramatic fall in the percentage of young women who are married, followed by Libya and Kuwait.

In the table graph the figures show that the ages of men who got married for first time are between mid twenties and late twenties and for the ages of women who got married are between early twenties and mid twenties.

The two graphs show that the women got married in their early twenties not like the women who used to get married in the teenage stage a few decades ago.
