Living in the UAE

Compare and Contrast

The life in the UAE in the past was very difficult and hard, but it became more easy and comfortable. I ‘m going to compare and contrast the life in the UAE forty years ago to today.

The are several similarities between life in the UAE in the past to the present. The first similarity is that the weather was as hot as it is now. Another point they have in common is people are still wearing dishdashas has and sandals. A further similarity is the royal family. Finally, the last similarity is the Arabic language was the same as now.

Although there are several similarities about living in the UAE, there are also many differences about living in the UAE. The first difference is that people in the past worked in fishing, hunting, shepherding and farmers. Nowadays people work like engineers, pilots and doctors. Another difference is that people were eating rice and harees, but nowadays they are eating fast food and other countries' food. A further dissimilarity is that people were living in small houses which were built of wood and stone. Nowadays people build big houses by using cement   and iron. The final difference is people were using camels, horses and donkeys, whereas now they use cars, buses and planes.

As you have seen, the life in the UAE now is better and has become more comfortable, because we use cars and we have many choices for jobs. I prefer to live in the present rather than the past.
