An Inconvenient Truth

Wanted: Natural Residents - Summary

Part 1 - Summary
The writer talked about a small town which is located in Sweden. This city is not only for human, but there are also birds, bats, and insects who live in cozy nesting boxes.

This town was built on reclaimed industrial land and contains several developments which are designed to promote sustainable urban living. Green innovations were a target to the planners by using waste management, renewable energy and sustainable transport. Each developer must choose ten “green features” from a list of 35 features to be an acceptable design. A lot of different species have been recorded as breeding in the town. Some people who live there feel very comfortable about the life there. Birds and salamanders have been seen in their home. The developers are now planning to develop the two next phases. They had good lessons from the first phase which will help them put more features and developments in the next buildings. Location and appearance are important reasons to the people to buy their homes but in this town green lifestyle is one more reason to buy. Toddlers’ playgrounds and some activities which are built on one of the roads which lead to the sea are designed for children between 1 to 5 years old. They will expect and demand to live in green houses.

In conclusion, this town encourages developers to build more projects which are friendly to the environment.


Part 2 – Main Idea
The main idea in the article was about the new project in Sweden which gave the most priority to the green innovations in its design. It concentrated on green lifestyle features and how to develop it. Last thing is why people would live there and what the benefits of living there are.



Part 3 – Comments
· I think the article is well-organized because the writer divided the article to many paragraphs to make it easier to the reader to understand.
· I think the article is very important and encourages people and countries to build green houses and towns. Actually, that is one of the solutions to the Global Warming Issue.
· I would like to learn more about the green features and how we can use them here in the UAE.

An Introduction to Global Warming

One of the biggest problems facing the entire world today is experiencing global warming. Many scientists believe that the earth’s temperature is rising and the icecaps are meeting and oceans rising among other problems. This post, I am going to outline the problems of global warming and discuss possible solutions.

One of the biggest problems caused by global warming is the weather changes. This will increase the world temperature, for example what happened in Ras Al Khaimah’s mountains. Another result of global warming is the sea levels which rose in the last few years. For instance, the tsunami that was affected by the global warming. One last problem is the melting icecaps. This could affect the ice sheet and it could disappear after 100 years because of the global warming.

Turning to the solutions, one solution is to stop factory’s smoke. This will help to reduce the global warming effect. Another way in which we can reduce global warming is to save electricity if we do not need it, such as shutting off lights. Using electricity leads to further greenhouse gases in the air. One last means of lowering the global warming is to plant trees. It will help to reduce the carbon from the air.

In conclusion, we are facing a big issue and everybody is involved. All the countries should combine together and find solutions.

Task1 - Personal Information

I will talk a little about myself. I am married since 2004 and I have one child and his name is Nahyan. I have a big family consisting of six brothers and six sisters. I live with my father in Shahama.

Now I am going to talk about my career and study. In 1999, I finished the ninth grade in Abu Dhabi. My brother was in the United States so his suggestion was to go there and finish my high school and higher degree of bachelor there. I took his suggestion and I finished the tenth and eleventh grade in the United States. Then, for some reasons I came back to the UAE. I started working in Abu Dhabi International Airport under the immigration department. I was studying too at that time in the evening. I finished the high school and joined the HCT to finish the higher degree. Now I am in year two and I am still working in the Amiri Fight.

Now I am going to talk about my hobbies. I like travelling around the world. I have visited many countries such as United States, Britain, France, Germany, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Singapore, all the GCC countries and many other places. I also like horse riding, football, swimming and tennis.

Two years ago, I started my own small business. I established two companies which are involved in real estate and the construction business. It is running well but we are suffering a little bit from the global crisis.

One of this blog’s purposes is to write about the global warming. Global Warming is a big issue which all the countries should look at deeply. I will try to understand it and understand the main causes.
