comper between the life style in the UAE

I would like to talk about the changes that have happened in family lifestyle in the UAE before and now. There have been major changes in housing, transportation, and education.

First of all, I would like to talk about family transportation in the UAE before and after. Before the people used to use camels, donkeys, and their feet to travel from place to place. My father told me that he used to make the journey from Al Ain to Abu Dhabi in three days by camel. Nowadays, we travel from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain in 80 eighty minutes on a toll-free widely paved and well lit highway. Thank God our leader used the money from the oil for the comfort and prosperity of his people.

Second of all, I would like to describe the changes in accommodation for the family in the UAE in the past and present. Houses were different. Some families lived in tents, or huts made of palm leaves. Also these houses were very small compared to modern villas. Moreover, they didn’t contain any convenience or luxury items, like warm bathrooms, mobiles or washing machines for housewives and so housework was time consuming. The next area I would like to discuss is education. Although education is very modern nowadays, in the past it used to be stronger at teaching the values and the pure Islamic principles. Now the students are studying only for the certificate because they want to get a job. They don’t want to benefit their children or their country. In the old days, students used to sit in the sand but today they sit at desks and on chairs. Before, they used to sit under a huge tree, but now they sit in a cool comfortable classroom.
In conclusion, there are many differences between the lifestyle in the past and now.

The country can't afford another drought.
We can’t afford to waste any time.
The lawyers disagreed on the article covering plagiarism suits.
Articles of clothing were lying all over room.
Conceived or created by a designer.

She divorced her husband.

He seems very enthusiastic about his role in the play.
There wasn’t much enthusiasm when I mentioned the trip to the museum.

To invest large sums in books.
