Line Graph

Three African Cities

The line graph gives information about the average monthly temperatures in three African cities - Mombasa, Cairo, and Cape Town. Each city has its own different climate, with very different characteristics.

The hottest place shown on the graph is Cairo. In July and August, average temperatures rise to over 80º Fahrenheit. However, Cairo also has the biggest variation in climate.Temperatures drop to as low as 55 degrees in Cairo’s winter, during January and February. This is equal to Cape Town’s lowest temperature in July. In fact Cairo and Cape Town are almost opposites in temperature. Cairo is hottest when Cape Town is coldest.

Cape Town does not have the range that Cairo has. Its maximum temperature is 70º F from November to February, after which it drops gradually to about 55 degrees in its winter. In contrast to Cairo or Cape Town,

Mombasa is warm all year round. Its temperature fluctuates very little, ranging from a low of 75 to a maximum of 83 in March.

In conclusion, location is very important in deciding climate. When it is winter in Cairo, it is summer in Cape Town, but Mombasa, being tropical, is warm all year round.

Hurricanes and Tornadoes

This table shows the differences between two very strong winds, hurricanes and tornadoes.

There are several features of the winds. The minimum wind speed for hurricanes is 74 miles per hour, whereas for tornadoes it is 40 miles per hour. However the maximum wind speed for hurricanes is between 155 to 200 miles per hour, whereas tornadoes have got 250 to 300 miles per hour. The hurricane classification scale is the Saffir, Simpson C1to C5, whereas the tornadoes classification scale is the Fujita F0 to F5. Hurricanes can last one week on average, but tornadoes only last a few minutes or sometimes up to a few hours. In addition a hurricane has 300 miles of average width of storm. However tornadoes have 100 to 600 meters and some up to 1.5 km wide. Hurricanes can usually be predicted in advance, whereas tornadoes can’t. Finally, hurricanes start over warm oceans, but tornadoes usually start over land.

As you have seen, the tornadoes cause much damage in a few minutes with maximum wind speed 300 miles per hour, but a hurricane's duration will be one week on average.

The population of New York between 1950 and 2000 sharply increased. In 2000 Bombay and Mexico City had the same population. In 2015 the three fastest growing cities were Tokyo, Bombay and Lagos. What’s more Shanghai had a steady rise, but it didn’t pass 15 million. However Cairo has a gradual increase of population but it does rise to more than 12 million. In London the population from 1970 to 2015 shows a slow decrease.  Lagos has the fastest growth of all cities. Finally, in Sao Paolo the population hugely increased from 1970 to 2015. Also Bombay has a sharp increase in population between 2000 and 2015.

traffic in Abu Dhabi

Nowadays, many large cities likes Abu Dhabi suffer from traffic congestion and there are many causes and solutions, which I am going to write about.

The first problem that causes traffic is the growing population, for example the numbers of cars per house hold. Another problem is economic development, for example export of oil. A further problem is construction, for example built new large builds without parking which causes heavy traffic. One more problem is many young drivers cause accidents; why ? Because they don’t have good driving education. Another problem is concentration of firms and colleges in one area; for example Khalife Street has several firms such as Al Salam hospital, National Bank of Abu Dhabi and the University of the Emirates. Finally, nowadays a lot of large buildings are built without parking, for example Hamden Street's buildings and Khalifa Street's buildings.

One solution to reduce the traffic congestion is to improve the existing system, for example skyline. Another solution is to the limit number of cars per house hold. A further solution is introducing staggered hours, for example not all people should start working at 8.0' clock. Another solution is to educate drivr and have a stiffer test. Another solution is paid parking; for example build underground parking and Mwagaf paid parking. Also there is another solution, relocation firms, for example the new women's college in Khalife city A and Yas city recreational. Another solution is people should use the public transport such as taxics and buses. Finally, people should got more fines and black points for offences.

As we have seen, these are several solution, but the three most viable solutions are relocation the concentration of firms, staggered hours and paid parking.

Problems and Solutions in Weight

Nowadays many people in the UAE are obese or very weight. In this time there are different kinds of fast food restaurants. I am going to write about the problem and suggest solutions.

The main reason for this problem is lack of exercise. This means lots of people don’t play sport. However the government builds many places that people can use for sport such as running, cycling and basketball. Another problem is some people over eat; for example at the lunch time they eat fat food mixing it with types of sugary food. Furthermore they are a number of new restaurants, for example McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC and Dunkin' Donuts. Finally, many people comfort eat, for example when they are sad they eat a lot.

One solution is to reduce the weight. This can be done by eating fruit and vegetables. However there are some kinds of restaurants which sell healthier food such as Subway. Another possible solution is health clubs where people can do exercise, for example the Gulf Healthy Club and the horse riding club. A further solution to reduce weight is to educate people to control eating, for example by TV and reading books. Finally, people should go to the doctor to have routine medical checks.

As you have seen, these are some ideas to help solve the problem. The most viable solution is eating healthy food, taking exercise and routine medicals.
